What FPD Wore: Fall 2014 Fashion Week, Day 5

We’re in the home stretch now, and after five shows today, I’m dreaming of all of the new looks I just saw, and of course, some warmer weather too! This is the coldest February fashion week that I can remember experiencing…and I’ve been at this since 2003! I’m really fascinated with the pumped up volume found in largely tops and coats that I’ve been seeing this week, which look just so comfy and cozy; perfectly apt for this cold spell!

I can’t wait to experiment with the new shape myself, but in the meanwhile, my outfit of Day 5 is featured! Here’s how I wore this dress last season;some tweaks, but also, some things always resonate — I guess you can call it my style sensibility — with keeping the other apparel colors to a minimalist black, while complimenting the neon with some great pieces of accent jewelry. I can’t forget to mention that my hair was styled by Tyler at the TRESemmè lounge; he did an incredible job creating volume and movement in my hair; luckily, I already own a few of the products used and recommended, such as 24 Hour Body Mousse and Platinum Strength Heat Protection Spray; now I just need to excel at using a curling iron!

What FPD Wore: Fall 2014 Fashion Week, Day 4

by Julia DiNardo

It all started with a slick pair of booties and chic pant; from there, I built my look for Day 4 (Sunday) of fashion week from the bottom up, opting for various shades neutral shades to round out my look. After the DKNY show, Chelsea’s cool environs seemed liked the perfect for an impromptu photo shoot.

Pair it with This: The Jessa by Signature at Shoedazzle.com

by Julia DiNardo

The Jessa d’Orsay pump by Signature from Shoedazzle is under $50 (and much less if you’re a VIP member), and a great way to boost an evening look while adding in a bit of heel interest via the beige back and black heel. So with three colors to match, what exactly would you pair this with? I recently wore it to a holiday party, dressed in head-to-toe black and my moment in them was immortalized via the innovative 3D printing technology through a Shapeways statue of my husband and I as a fun souvenir from the event (click the thumbnail with the arrows to see me, and the heels, in rotation!).

So besides wearing all black and letting the red pop, you can also make the overall look a bit more of a statement with a cool space-age print and some luxe accessories. Here’s what I propose, mixing high and low, and a few neutral hues and metallic to get a coveted look:
