The blizzard is coming! The blizzard is coming! As the New York City area hunkers down, anticipating the worst for the next few days, I’ll be reminiscing about warm, sunny days, and the spring sunshine that will inevitably come. Great fashion accessories can truly lighten up and brighten the mood, and I’ve got a handful of my favorites, old and new, featured in this look.

Hello! And Happy Friday! I’ve experienced a bunch of fantastic items and events over the past week, and can’t wait to share them with you. In the meanwhile, I also revamped the Fashion Pulse Daily Press Section, where you can find links and PDFs of Fashion Pulse Daily and/or me being quoted, linked to, or features penned by me, and found elsewhere. I hope you like it!
One of the more recent features you’ll find there is the piece I wrote on Stylish Workout Apparel for The Today Show’s website, Today.com. Thanks for checking out the latest happenings at FPD; I sooo appreciate your readership and comments!
Last week I was thrilled to attend the launch event for Diptyque‘s latest scent, Florabellio, which hits Diptyque stores and retailers in late April of 2015. Diptyque Paris, at six decades in business and going strong, is an iconic fragrance house originated in Paris and is most well-known for candles, home and personal fragrances. Thinking about what you may experience moving from the “woods to the shore” holds as a point of inspiration for the fragrance, which incorporates notes addressed by the brand as salty sea spray, sea fennel, apple blossom, and apricot-scented osmanthus mist, roasted coffee with toasted sesame accents. It’s a blend of rich scents that marvelously work together; definitely feminine but not overly so, and at its core, luxurious and easy. In a nutshell, it’s lovely, and I think you’ll come to enjoy it just as much as I did – only three more months to go until it’s officially here!
When I receive a promise of beauty enhancement on several levels, and I don’t even have to do anything…I am totally in to give it a go. Wouldn’t you do the same? Continue reading…

Wearing head-to-toe white is one of the most sophisticated looks that you can accomplish to elevate your style without trying very hard; in fact, the only thing you actually need to do is make sure that you don’t get any scuffs or stains on your white apparel! Wearing white only in the summer is such an outdated notion that with a few easy items to consider, can transition white what you need it to be all year long. The easiest way to start is with accessories; see how it feels to participate in the look via a handbag, a pair of shoes, jewelry, or bag. Next up: let’s try winter white! Unlike a pure, almost opaque, bleached hue of white that is popular in the summer time, winter white takes on an almost yellowish tone that makes it a better match to blend in with winter’s other neutral shades of taupe, grey, black, brown, and navy.

Gosh, the adidas Gazelle is such a cool sneaker! I’ve now owned two pairs in my lifetime, and in my opinion, they just look utterly sleek and sophisticated, all of the time. See here for how I styled them in late 2014, and above for some great color combinations. The brushed, gleaming suede makes them dressier than the average casual sneaker, and you know you’ve found a versatile shoe when it can hold its own in a color palette other than black. Plus, the clean, sloping lines certainly keep them modern and timeless; which color is your favorite?
