Classic gifts maintain their luster for several reasons, with attributes such as being across-the-board crowd pleasers, providing instant gratification, and are relatively easy to buy and gift. As much as I feel I don’t gravitate toward traditional things, receiving two classic gifts such as jewelry or flowers will 100% make my day. This year, I wanted to share gift guides with products that serve as unique, thoughtful, and memorable, and below have included a select number of companies that fulfill just that this holiday season.

When it comes to flowers, try:

NYFW Spring 2017 Personal Style: The Last of the Light Layers

by

For a second there, I thought that maybe fall had decided to not show up this year; the heat an humidity during most of New York Fashion Week was incredibly unforgiving, and I just couldn’t seem to get my temperature at a comfortable point. That was, until I donned this tunic. Incredibly light and airy, it was the perfect, stylish accompaniment to  a long day’s worth of shows, and coincidentally, my look of matching pastel shoes and a bag was right on-trend with one of spring 2017’s biggest looks, edgy pastels.  Today’s temperature is only going to reach 62 degrees, and I’m already appreciating every day that I can wear dresses and skirts with bare legs!

NYFW Spring 2017 Personal Style: A Look for Fall…or Spring?

Right now, we are in a transitional state. The seasons are not only on the cusp of shifting, but so is the mentality regarding fashion week.  Designers seem divided in their stance; some, like Rebecca Minkoff, and now, Banana Republic, bucked the traditional fashion week showing of the following season (i.e. spring/summer 2017 shown in September of 2016, fall/winter 2017 shown in February, 2017), for a “see now, buy now” approach, with items immediately available for purchase, and relevant to the time of year in which they are sold. This definitely is a great idea and caters to the consumer; I think its long term success will be based in the widespread adoption of this concept, as it can otherwise cause confusion as to what is available for sale now, or for six months from now.

The Tying Game

by

julia dinardo fashion pulse daily
I’m still getting over a cold, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make an attempt at looking my best (well, minus the red nose).  I’ve recently been drawn to a lot of Japanese- style pieces, which means looser silhouettes and somewhat of a skill at tying and knotting belts is involved.  Because these pieces aren’t so body-hugging, they are certainly comfortable, and a different form of body consciousness and confidence arises. It’s always a good exercise to try a new clothing silhouette, as its just a matter of time before it will happen in fashion anyways. Of course, it’s always crucial to work with your body type, but you’ll know (and feel) if it looks great; you’ll catch yourself smiling!
