Adrianna Papell Spring 2014 Sneak Peek
It’s not every day that one experiences a collection that is adored in its entirety, therefore, I’d love for you to take a look at the Adrianna Papell spring 2014 collection, because I KNOW there are a lot of pieces in there that you’re going to swoon over! I’ve cut it down to a handful of looks, so that it will still be a surprise for you to see some of the great sportswear pieces once they hit the racks, come spring.
What you can expect are all of the modern classics, from slouchy pajama-inspired pants coupled with micro prints to softly structured mixed media boyfriend jackets and thoughtful, sophisticated complimentary pieces placed stylishly in between.
Dresses that were conceived in order to be worn from day into night are an integral part of the collection, and overall the attention to detail embedded into spring 2014 elevates it from every day sportswear to steadfast, stand out pieces. Elements such as pocket flap adornment, zig zag embroidery placed upon the seaming, artful all-over beading, and carefully engineered prints found in the latest silhouettes fully capture the sublime and the beautiful of the season’s best trends.
And don’t forget about the footwear! From oversized polka dot patent flats to color blocked stacked heels, there’s whimsy, flare, and a polished edge to every pair that can certainly rest on their fabulous laurels, or make the perfect accompaniment to your spring 2014 wardrobe.
Which piece are you most looking forward to owning?
Adrianna Papell is available at fine retailers nationwide, such as Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom and Von Maur.

Getting Ready at The Red Door
[The downstairs waiting area]
Centrally located and hugging the north east corner of Union Square, the salon and spa offers all of the high quality services and products as the other locations with expert stylists, aestheticians, colorists, and makeup artists rendering them, with a decidedly downtown vibe. Prices are very reasonable for New York City, ranging from $22 for the essential manicure and $40 for a blow out to $80 for a 25 minute time saver massage.
[My fabulous wavy ‘do and makeup refresher at The Red Door]
While there, I received a blow out from Ty, who previously was at the Fifth Avenue location that I frequent, who did an amazing job infusing volume, shine, and bounce into my otherwise limp locks using some of my favorite products from Kérastase. Afterward, Nancy at the Beauty Bar station used some of my most favorite Elizabeth Arden cosmetics (Red Door Red lipstick!) and enhanced my look for evening, as I was heading to a fancy cocktail party straight from the salon. While there, you can also try the Custom Color Foundation option, Elizabeth Arden’s exclusive technology, which is meant to locate the perfect foundation for your particular skin tone. I had a blast at the salon, and with so many options available for a range of budgets and time constraints, I’m sure you will too!
The Red Door is located at 200 Park Avenue at 17th Street; call to make an appointment at 212-388-0222 or book online.
