What I Wore: NYFW Look 5

P1110398

My version of attention-grabbing style has become more subtle over the years; it’s not longer about the entire look being over-the-top, but more of just one or two key pieces providing the “wow” factor. While out of reverence for professionalism and appropriateness, my wardrobe has certainly gotten more serious over the past six or so years, I can’t help but fall for those pieces every now and then that just feel so fashion, so exciting, and restore my sense of the power of great style.

After this trip to Japan, I believe that it’s definitely going to shift again; there’s no way that this incredibly fashionable place won’t be instrumental in influencing my looks and consideration of style going forward. I’ve been here a little over a week, and am already shifting the way I think about pairing silhouettes and balancing proportions.

Do you have an item or two in your closet that you feel this way about? For me, it’s definitely this skirt, and the shoes; they are far from the ordinary, and wouldn’t work in an every day scenario, but that’s what so special about them, making each time I wear them quite memorable.

Transitioning to Spring

by Julia DiNardo

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.

What I Wore: NYFW FAll 2015, Day 2

by Julia DiNardo

For Day 2 of New York Fashion Week, my main goal was to…stay warm! The temps really dropped, which certainly makes remaining stylish quite a challenge, while dealing with drastic fluxes from blaring hot air inside of the tents to overcrowded and cramped backstage spaces and then…walking back to the train at the end of the day, exposed to the elements along the way. It’s still too early to have a good grasp on the trends for fall/winter 2015, although I can tell you that the only trend to truly emerge this early is that…no one appears to be producing season-appropriate clothing. It’s feeling much more resort, with thigh-high slits, filmy, transparent layers, and slinky fabrications than its traditionally sturdier winter counterparts. Let’s see what the rest of the week has in store for us….

Win My Spring 2012 Sorrelli Jewels, Worth $250!

by Julia DiNardo

[Clockwise; Circular Stud Earring with Rhinestone Edging in Andalusia , $36; Double Turquoise Pyramid Ring, $28.80; Turquoise Pyramid Stone Cuff, $69.60; Square Pyramid Turquoise Stud, $14.40; Spiked Turquoise Cuff, $117.60 ]

Aren’t all of this pieces just so beautiful? All of the turquoise is from the spring 2012 MiMi by Sorrelli collection, while the Peachy, coral-hued earrings are from Sorrelli’s signature line in the new Andalusia color scheme for spring 2012. As MiMi by Sorrelli is my absolute favorite jewelry line of all time, I’m thrilled to be able to give one lucky reader all five of my favorite pieces, a $250 value!

I styled my pieces in two segments, with the four MiMi pieces being styled with a leather bomber jacket and crochet dress, dubbed “Date Night: Out On the Town!”, while the second look incorporates the Andalusia studs that have a ’60s vibe to them, paired with a pale blue Orla Kiely boatneck dress for a styling session dubbed “Sunday Fancy Schmancy Brunch.” Two very different aesthetics, one very stylish brand! See below for rules of entry, as well as how I put the look together. RULES OF ENTRY:

1) Do TWO of the following: Subscribe to the FashionPulseDaily newsletter (if you’re not already a subscriber), Follow @Sorrelli on Twitter, and/or Like us on Facebook!

2) Let us know in the comments below which TWO you did – OR do all three for double entry!

3) Answer the question in the comments below: “Which is your favorite Sorrelli piece from the five featured?” (you can either just describe it or drop in the link of the item, listed above)

4) USA entrants only, one entry per person, must be 18 or older.
