It’s what we all want to do, so let’s just go ahead and do it: it’s time to discuss the summer of 2016 accessories from Henri Bendel! Just like vacations and tropical getaways are top-of-mind when the weather starts to become more reasonable, Henri Bendel Creative Director Pina Ferlisi was inspired by the global traveler for the summer 2016 styles.

There’s a new style launching with these season, the Worth Avenue collection, featuring totes and backpacks in versatile neutral hues (the harvest pumpkin shade is delightful!) and on-trend tassel detailing, but as always, the brand doesn’t hold back when it’s time to get colorful. This season, expect the brand’s glorious sunnies, flip-flops, and jewelry to be accompanied by bags in shades of brilliant persimmon and azalea. The classic Uptown Satchel feels reborn again as a younger version of itself thanks to some vibrant colorways, and as much as I’d like to go on and on about the new products… I know you’d rather just see for yourself via the slideshow above! Summer 2016 has already begun to arrive, with more pieces incrementally rolling out this month and next (June), which means you can begin to shop now!

Transitioning to Spring

Did we just get an inkling of an indication that spring may actually be dead set on arriving soon? As the slushy streets give way to a more watered down iteration, Puffy coats can be stashed, at least for the moment, and give way to more shapely outwear and adventurous footwear. For me, it’s all about my fitted, shrunken moto jacket, coupled with these awesome fur peep-toe booties, which are certainly a bit of an oxymoron (fur, sandals, wintertime…) but so utterly fantastic and fabulous, nonetheless. From the ankles up, I certainly look like I’m on my way to a day at the office, but one glance at these shoes prove that I’m actually enroute to a more extraordinary destination…

I’m Bahamas-bound at the end of the week, and can’t wait to feel the sun glaring down on me while my freshly pedicured toes wiggle freely with excitement! Don’t worry: plenty of SPF 50 and “pale girl essentials” like a wide brimmed hat and SPF clothing will be in tow too! In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy my urban take on enjoying the 40 degree weather in New York City.

Taking the lead from the modern bohemian aesthetic as inspiration, the newest collection is described by Pina Ferlisi, Henri Bendel’s Creative Director as “boho beach meets Boho sport.”

Blush pinks, vibrant blues, and new riffs on the signature brown and white stripe round out the Henri Bendel spring 2015 collection when it comes to handbags, with some ombré, a touch of neon,a terrific, sophisticated butterfly print, and great texture via perforation, straw, and woven fabrications are also in the mix. The jewelry lineup is straight forward and simultaneously versatile, subtly featuring the latest trends including ear jackets, fluid metal cuffs, figure 8 stacked rings, tassels, the use of pearls, and asymmetrical shaping.

As always, small leather good abound by way of wallets, iPhone cases, and jewelry books, along with items to get you thinking about the warmer weather to come, such as jelly flip flops, over sized canvas totes, straw hats, delightful sunglasses, beach-infused candles like “Boho Beach” and “Ocean Mist,” and statement-making, stylish luggage, apropos for a tropical island getaway. See the slideshow above for some of my favorites from Henri Bendel’s summer preview, with most pieces becoming available online and in-store for purchase in April, May, and June.

What I Wore NYFW Fall 2015; Day 6

by Julia DiNardo

I took a bit of a break posting my looks between Day 5 and Day 6 because… I was on a bit of a sensory overload from being in the midst of fashion week, and I’m sure you were too! Despite the chilly temps, all-in-all it was a wonderful time, and I’m already missing the beauty and creativity every where that I looked. Don’t get me wrong: I do love my regular routine and was glad to get back to it, but in retrospect there’s just something so romantic about something being revealed for the first time via an active fashion runway and those immediate, iconic New York cityscapes once you step outside of the venue…

In this look I combined hard and soft elements, texture and volume, streamlined and modern aesthetics. I was very much looking forward to wearing this look ALL week long, holding out for one of the warmer days on which to do so, which basically was when it hit a “comfortable” 30 degrees! Dressing stylishly in the winter is still the ultimate fashion test, and I can report varying degrees of success with it, but the bottom line is warmth and comfort are king!
