Channeling the Maxx Life Through the Power of Style at T.J.Maxx

[Talking about the evolution of style and finding your own look with actress Erika Christensen and costume designer Jenn Rogien]

Leave it to my beloved  T.J.Maxx to add in an interesting conversation when it comes to piecing together a wardrobe, or just selecting some new items for the season. T.J.Maxx doesn’t need much of an introduction, however I’d like to share more from actress Erika Christensen (“Parenthood”) and costume designer Jenn Rogien (“Girls,” “Orange is the New Black”), who I met at the T.J.Maxx event and hosted a conversation to talk about how women use style to tell their story. Dressing for a new season, like this fall or winter, or just in general, doesn’t mean that you have to participate in all of the trends or feel obligated to pick up certain items. It’s more important to think below the surface level as to what works for your life, needs, and body shape and let your conscious guide you toward pieces that you inexplicably love.

Above, via the slideshow, you’ll find some images of some great new fall items at T.J.Maxx that can easily fit a variety of body shapes, skin complexions and even lifestyles; which item(s) do you gravitate toward?  See below for a few tips from Jenn that highlight who you are and what matters most to you and what you can express through your personal style.

1.    Find your style, and tell your story.  Just like actors in TV shows and movies, you are your own character and the clothes you wear and way you style your home help to define your personality to those around you.
2.    Let Your Life Lead Your Style.  Let interests, passions and aspirations shine through when creating an outfit or look in the home.
3.    Wear Trends In A Way That Works for You. You don’t need to follow every new trend to be fashionable. Find those perfect pieces that make you feel good about who you are.
4.    Update Your Look as Your Journey Evolves.  It takes a lot of trial and error to find a personal style that shows off your true self.  Self-expression is a journey not a destination and to communicate who you are you don’t need to reinvent your entire wardrobe or home all in one go. Most importantly, wear and display what makes you happy!

NYFW Day 3: What Julia Wore!

by

P1050982

Welcome to Day 3 of New York Fashion Week! My feet aren’t killing me yet-yay! Just for an extra measure to sustain my comfort, I wore one of my favorite pairs of flats, and it being the weekend and all, I thought I could be a bit more casual anyways.  Today was a scorcher, with the temperature hitting 92 degrees, so a sleeveless garment was absolutely in order.

Otherwise, here’s to hopefully an Indian summer and a mild winter, and in the meanwhile, I truly am enjoying the sun beating down, in tandem with getting in some of my new summer looks, for a while longer. What I’m wearing is actually two pieces, a halter top and skirt, but give an awesome illusion of one fluid dress, complimented by some blushy sparkle found on my wrists and ears.

Getting perfectly outfitted for New York Fashion Week is an important part of my planning for the week, and I was so relieved to have the tremendous opportunity to pick out some pieces from T.J.Maxx and Marshalls to wear, as I always find incredible on-trend, designer pieces of top notch quality at the stores. This Friday of fashion week resulted in a decidedly black and white aesthetic with a pop of color, thanks to my accessories; a very “it” look this season.

Staying cool yet prepared for the potential rain that threatened the earlier half of the week was crucial, and I felt pretty stylish, comfortable, and prepared for whatever came my way in these pieces. See below for more pics of my look from Day 2, including some great detailed close-up shoots of my jewels and bag!

Follow along on social media via the hashtag #WHATIWORENYFW and the tags @Marshalls and @TJMAXX for more fabulous fashion-week bound fashionistas in incredible baubles and wares from the stores.

The best kind of shopping experiences are the ones that make the most of your time, so I love that I can walk into a T.J.Maxx or Marshalls and pick up a gorgeous wood picture frame, a desktop organizer, throw pillows, a spatula, children’s books, running shoes, and designer leather jacket in one fell swoop. Who has time to go from store to store nowadays? Certainly not many people that I know! Besides the essentials in fashion and home décor, the stores also boast a hearty selection of holiday décor and home furnishings at incredible prices, so you can feel guilt-free when buying that Halloween wreath, reindeer-themed throw blanket, or sea horse lamp.

You’ll of course find seasonless pieces that will move with you from room to room, and even home to home, along with your favorite clothing and accessories for the off-price retailers. See above for my favorite items from the  T.J.Maxx and Marshalls home preview; if only I could have all of these items!
