Dressing up Distressed Jeans

January 29, 2016 by Cynthia

It is nearly February but Happy New Year!!

After a long hiatus due to troublesome computer/blog glitches, I am back!! To those that follow my blog and have asked about when my next post will be, my sincerest apologies. Since early December, I have had technical problems with my blog. I have spoken to numerous experts who have offered numerous differing opinions. But, I finally found the right, trustworthy help and it seems the blog is sorted and working properly!! Thank you for your patience!

My last post was showing distressed jeans in a casual but put together outfit. This post is using the same jeans (and top) but dressing them up. By adding a long vest with a removeable fur collar (fur attached), animal print stacked heels and a clutch, the outfit is suddenly dressed up. This is an outfit that could be worn out to dinner, to a casual dinner party, a ladies night or perhaps a trip into the city.

How to Wear a Skinny Scarf

December 1, 2015 by Cynthia

A skinny scarf is my favorite accessory right now. I love the way they add polish without effort and go casual or dressy. Try wearing a skinny scarf with a round or v-neck t-shirt and jeans – so chic!!

In this outfit I am wearing it with a black v-neck tunic, skinny, high-rise, destructed jeans and ankle booties. I threw on a suede trench with it. Have fun trying different looks!

How to Wear Plaid Shoes

November 8, 2015 by Cynthia

By now, considering this is my third post on the subject, one may have figured out that I’m mad for plaid! Plaid is such a practical print, yet it can really make a statement – with simplicity and elegance. Putting together an outfit where the shoe is the star makes getting dressed easy (and you will look pulled together effortlessly). In all of the following instances wearing one column of color top to bottom with a plaid shoe would work. However, imagine the following scenarios as an option for how to wear plaid shoes…all great for Fall and Winter and, of course, holiday gatherings! (Click on link below shoe for more info)

Faux Fur

October 25, 2015 by Cynthia

Fur, real or faux, is a classic and current way to add luxury and opulence to your look and wardrobe. Real fur is the ultimate, but today’s faux fur looks and feels so authentic that you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy all of real furs benefits. There are so many gorgeous and affordable options! One of my favorite stores for finding well-priced current pieces is Zara. Adding a chic and cozy faux fur piece now will get you through the cold weather months ahead in style!!

Fall Accessories at Henri Bendel

October 3, 2015 by Cynthia

Nolita Pearl Ear Jackets

Fall Accessories – scarfs, hats, shawls, gloves, chunky jewelry and so on!! Henri Bendel on 5th Avenue in New York City is Mecca for the accessory lover! I love the saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping?” Therapy for me can simply be a visit to Henri Bendel for a few hours to look around – I get lost in the sea of beautiful choices.

All of the selections here are from Henri Bendel…Fur trim is a big trend for Fall and since it’s a classic, it is a great investment. Cashmere wraps are so luxurious and versatile – the one below has something special with the simple detail and embellishment – goes from sidelines to swanky. The Hudson cuff and stack rings (named after me of course) are updated and chic and a skinny scarf is this seasons ideal way to easily ramp up an outfit – looks great casual or dressy.

Fringe Trend

September 19, 2015 by Cynthia

If you like being current, jumping on the Fringe Trend is an easy wardrobe update for Fall. Fringe has been incorporated into clothing pieces, shoes, handbags and accessories so there is a plethora of options to choose from. Especially easy to incorporate with a handbag or shoe. But, if you are bit more fashion forward perhaps choose a clothing item like a fringe skirt, vest or jacket. However, don’t overdo it — one fringe item per outfit or you risk resembling a yarn mop!

For more information on the pieces I have selected, click on the highlighted description above the photo.

Style a Summer Dress for Fall

August 17, 2015 by Cynthia

Early Fall days in New York, and many parts of the country, begin chilly and end chilly but can get quite warm during mid-day. While an Indian summer is wonderful, I am itching to start wearing my favorite Fall pieces by the end of September. Until those leaves start to change color and cool Fall days arrive, style a summer dress for Fall by simply wearing an ankle boot!

When the Fall temperatures finally arrive add a jean jacket or cardigan sweater, layer a long-sleeved t-shirt or turtleneck under the dress, tie a scarf or hanky around your neck and add opaque tights. Of course, adding a great pair of sunglasses always finishes off a look in any season!

By mixing summer pieces with cool weather pieces and wearing an ankle boot, you stretch your wardrobe, have an outfit that can accommodate the varying temperatures of the day and elevate your style!

Will you style a summer dress for Fall?
