Neighbor gal

You know those Neighbor Teaze I just can’t get enough of? Well, Julia DiNardo is the mastermind behind the hood-tastic teaze and much more. Editor of Fashion Pulse Daily, freelance writer and designer, this Steel City gal is livin’ the NYC fashion dream. Accessible to runway shoes, sample sales and designer stores, Julia a fashionista I definitely aspire to be one day.

She hope’s Fashion Pulse Daily will be seen as an authority of fashion and hopes to use the site as a platform to work with and encourage students with a strong fashion interest to be entrepreneurs and gain experience in the industry via mentorship and internship programs, specifically targeted toward college-aged and high-school students in Pittsburgh.

Julia defines her personal style as a chameleon, ranging from a vintage collection handed down from her fabulously stylish aunt, to designer pieces and staples from Forever 21, Old Navy and Gap. She mixes streetwear with dressy clothes to produce “tomboy chic” and “girly quirky” looks. Also, she is inspired from Sonia Rykiel’s legacy, Parisian chic designs and perseverance in the industry with an independent company for over 40 years.

With September quickly approaching, I asked Julia what her top fashion picks for fall. Her must-haves include:

· An off-kilter handbag color

· Textured tights galore

· Anna Sui for Target collection

· Leggings with wild prints, tie-dye, burn-out and more

· The new designer collections from Payless, specifically Abaete and Christian Siriano (fierce)!

Julia’s teaze are all around the city, with new hoods Fox Chapel and Strip District to be launched later this fall. She also is the designer of an organic tote bag line, Proscuitto & Melon, done in shades of metallics and graphics used from vintage stationary or textile prints.

This Pittsburgh girl definitely has it going on in the fashion world. Make sure you check back next week for a fantastic P&M bag giveaway!

Lauren Hutton’s Naturals Face Disc

by

HUTTON_223-A6P1010474

I love the concept of an artist’s palette for makeup; it holds everything that you would need and can easily move around as you go. Lauren Hutton has recently updated her popular face discs to include natural ingredient formulations, and Fashion Pulse Daily couldn’t be more happy about it! The new Naturals by Lauren Hutton line of makeup includes  95% natural origin ingredients recommended by The Natural Products Association, and high concentrations of plant-based ingredients such as bamboo, grape seed  and avacado oils.  The new Naturals Face Disc launches in September and will cost $70 — you can get one at www.LaurenHutton.com

Via our friends at thefind.com:

Go for just the right amount of sparkle during the last weeks of summer. We adore sequin tanks – they add just the razzle dazzle glam we’re looking for during warm weather days. These long tunic style sequined tanks add a bit of the punk inspired sparkle that we love. The longer length of these tanks gives you a bit o’ sparkle on and the flexibility to pair it with leggings, black skinny jeans, mini skirts or even dark tights. Get a trace of sparkle at an amazing price of $7.99 with this sequin lightning bolt tunic top for $7.99 at Wetseal. If you are willing to splurge on this Roberto Cavalli sequin gold and gray tank it will set you back $1,125. We also love the bow embellished John Varvatos sequin racer back tank in blood red from his line for Converse, it is $275 and available at 80spurple.com. Accessories are also a fun addition with a bit of sparkly urban edge.  Add a touch of sequin bling with these sequined Converse sneakers or a Coach “Poppy” sequin zip clutch. Save with coupon codes at Converse, and 15% off your first purchase from 80’s Purple.
