Putting Together an Outfit

by Julia DiNardo

P1020467

My personal style can drastically differ from day to day, but I think the elements that make my look unique yet uniform comes down to these few mantras. For me, it’s less about the actual look, and more about the execution of putting together that particular outfit that I consistently do:

 sometimes buck the trends, and just dress in silhouettes that work for my body type — I know that certain trends, like 1920s “Gatsby-era” dresses look just plain awful on me, but defined hourglass, 1940s shapes look GREAT!

having a good tailored fit, either right off the rack, or making alterations — know what brands work best for your different body parts, and stick to them or use the fit as a reference point. If something has potential and you can tell that it may need a slight alteration, take care of that before you even try to wear it! I constantly get pants hemmed (for example, the ones pictured), and tops and dresses taken up and in.

80’s inspired neons are having a flashy flashback moment! From Nanette Lepore‘s jackets and handbags, to Rag and Bone’s electric turquoise and orange, the Spring 2012 runways popped in anything-but-boring neons.

You can be a total knockout in these hues with a few simple tips and learn how to compliment your skin tone. This is an easy trend to pull off if you simply know your neons, and we are here to help!

For those with fairer skin, hot pink is is calling your name. Avoid green and yellow as these tend to wash you out. If you have an olive complexion, shine on in vivid tangerines and corals. Those with darker skin will stand out in lime greens and bold yellows. Continue reading…

10 Must-Haves When Packing [Light] for Vacation

by fashion pulse contributor

Ahh, spring break… A recess from (school) work means quality time with your self, the sun, and a frozen strawberry daiquiri. Doesn’t it sound divine? I can practically feel the warm sand between my toes as I prepare to embark on my own getaway. Here’s to packing light and simultaneously creating a dream destination wardrobe with our top ten must-haves when vacationing.

Daftbird Heather Tank Long Dress via Shopbop.com, $124

1. Maxi Dress – The maxi dress is here to stay for a while, in its full, unstudied elegance. This Daftbird scoop neck, racer back version in a heather gray is ideal for layering over a bikini or pairing with wedges and statement jewelry at night. It says laid back and sexy with its fantastic seam detailing, without appearing overdone.

Alice + Olivia Savannah Platform Wedge Sandals via Shopbop.com, $295

2. Wedge – Stacked platform wedges are every woman’s best friend when traveling. They offer comfortable support, provide perfect height, lengthen legs, and come in a variety of neutrals (as seen above with a dash of metallic), colors, and patterns. They’ll easily transition you from day to night as they compliment a plethora of ensembles. Your feet will love and thank you!

Cheap Monday Lori Hat via Shopbop.com, $30

3. Beach Hat – While we love a little sun-kissed glow, wrinkles will never be on trend. Get the proper dose of Vitamin D with this adorable floppy straw hat. It’s glamorous, yet low key and will pull any beach look together.

Gypsy Junkies Brentwood Rouched Blouse, $70

4. Tunic– Tunics are almost too versatile, which is why you absolutely must bring along this fun frock. Try this as a cover up alone, pair it with shorts, or rock it with your skinny white/pastel jeans. No matter which way you work it, tunics are classic and cool. We adore this color-blocked version from JCrew, a total bargain, above!

Suede Messenger Clutch Bag via Zara.com, $79.90

5. Colorful Clutch -Brighten up your summer neutrals with this rainbow bright accessory, a vivid clutch.  Pair with neutrals for color that pops, or with brights for a look that’s powerfully illuminating. These small accessories are a HUGE trend right now!

Basic Sandal via Zara.com, $35.90

6. Flat Sandal – A flat sandal will still leave you looking impeccably dressed. They can look carefree, but also polished with nearly everything in your luggage. Try them with your bikini on the beach or toughen up a flowy mini dress with our favorite, a leather pair. The quandary of what to wear on your feet has been forever solved.

Tiki Bikini via NastyGal.com, $195

7. Bikini – I mean, this goes without saying. You haven’t been hitting the gym since New Years for nothing. Be confident in a bold print or keep things simple with a basic black suit. Take a cue from the model and stack some bangles on your wrist for a fun, tropical vibe.

Slasher Flick Cutoff Short via NastyGal.com, $78

8. Jean Shorts -Bring on the jorts. There is just something we crave about this destroyed high-waist cutoff pair, but a more tailored version will certainly suffice. We see it with a cropped tank and your platforms or your tunic and flats!

9. Shades – Easily the best accessory to have on hand is a great pair of sunglasses. Not only are these incredibly important for protecting your eyes, but eyewear makes even the plainest of getups seem luxe. Find a pair that flatters your face, enhances your personality and brings the celeb out of you. (We’re currently lusting over these Tom Ford iconic cat-eyes.)

Multi Layer Beaded Bracelet via Forever 21.com, $5.80

10. Statement Jewelry– All vacation looks require some ornamentation. We’re not talking beads in the hair, but rather try an arm stacked full of beaded strands or a geometric necklace that stands on its own. Beachy baubles are always fun. Try eye-catching hues and unexpected metallic shades to accentuate your look.

Bon voyage you fashionable jetsetters!

Tribal-Inspired Beaded Clutches To Dress Up Your Spring & Summer Looks! (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:

While your classic black envelope clutch may never go out of style, the warmer months ahead provide the perfect opportunity to amp up your handbag style and have a little fun with colors, patterns, and textures. Think of beaded tribal clutches as the upcoming season’s answer to metallic and sequined bags. Instead of relying on bling, these beaded bags provide an earthy alternative that manage to be glamorous and statement-making without coming off stuffy or overdressed. Pair these beauties with a gorgeous flowing maxidress, your favorite silky sundress, or any of your new spring party ensembles to take you through the hot summer nights out! If you can’t get enough color, this Aztec Beaded Clutch from Nasty Gal and its similar Forever 21 counterpart will certainly turn heads, while this multi-beaded clutch by Ricky Designs plays with different textures and shine. For a more muted take on the trend, this SANTI convertible cross-body/clutch is perfect for jazzing up your trusty little black dress. Looking for a real conversation starter? Check out this Matthew Williamson beaded suede clutch, with pom pom embellishments for extra pizazz!
