Weekly Refresh: Show Me The Light

May 14, 2014 By Jaima Leave a Comment

I know I mentioned Diane’s wrap dress before, but let’s face it, a dress that launches a billion dollar career deserves a post of its own! The so-called “happy accident” of a design that propelled Diane in the stratosphere of super-designer has been uniquely adept at being the perfect grab and go style for everything from a hot date to a working lunch. It is as relevant and beloved today as it was then – so proven by the fact that 30 year old vintage versions sell for three times their original sticker price! Congrats DVF, your creative genius has managed to cover the backs of celebs and us regular women alike across the decades.

Pattern of the Week: Tom Ford’s Florals for London Fashion Week

September 2, 2013 By Jaima Leave a Comment

 

Next week  is  London’s Fashion Week for designers  revealing their spring / summer 2014 fashions. I spotted Tom Ford’s menswear line and he loves floral’s, lace and pattern! I feel like we are stepping into Palm Beach mode but with a feminine touch that’s  preppy, fun and definitely garden inspired. I love his mixing of floral prints with animal print shoes. I would decorate  my house with that mix so why not wear the look as well?

Good Jeans + Bling = Dressy Denim Style

August 29, 2013 By Jaima Leave a Comment

Good Jeans

If even a subtle head-to-toe denim look is too much for you, showcase your denim love with the latest looks.  A cuffed (or pegged as we called it back in the day) skinny style is my new go to as of late.  Flattering on just about every body type, this style looks equally good dressed down with flat or dressed up with heels.  Better yet, most likely you can create these looks with what already is in your closet  with those not-too-skinny skinnies you already have – frugal shoppers rejoice!

Style Star: Denim on Denim Love, Rihanna Style

August 27, 2013 By Jaima Leave a Comment

Denim on denim; it’s a trend that can go oh so wrong, but as Rihanna has shown me, really can look ooh la la good!  The head to toe denim ensemble has shown up everywhere from street style to model style.  But this lovely lady has shown me the denim love light.  The key, I think, is not to cover yourself head to toe.  While a jumpsuit or button down and jeans may seem oppressive, showing a little leg, can be ever so chic.

Tribal Vintage Bracelets

July 31, 2013 By Jaima Leave a Comment

Tribal Tribute

Few fashion finds bring more joy than a good piece of vintage jewelry.  I always find it fun to ponder the places a new find has been without me and the places a good one will journey on to after me.  These little time-travelers can really transform a simple outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. Though online shopping is my general m.o., the prospect of finding a “diamond in the rough” so to speak, has me on the verge of foraying into the estate sale world. These Tribal cuff bracelets certainly make a vintage statement with  pizazz!

Stylish Maternity Fashions: Hatched Before & After

July 17, 2013 By Jaima Leave a Comment

Hatched: Before and After

Hatch Collection’s Spring/Summer 2013 maternity collection is as chic as ever.  Beautiful colors, soft fabrics, and effortless draping make for a perfect assortment of mix and match pieces.  As always, the piece de résistance is before, during, and after wearability of all these styles.  A model sipping champs in the Hamptons would look just as at home in a Hatch dress as would a mom-to-be at her shower at 8 months along.  Kudos to that genius!

Style Star: Celebrity Baby Bump Watch 2013

Style Star:  Bump Watch 2013

So, I think at this point in the year I’d be remiss if I didn’t dedicate a full week of attention to Hollywood’s bump watch and  the maternity and nursery style frenzy that have followed suit.  As well all wait for the big one (aka the birth of Kate Middleton’s baby), I think it’s a good time to take a look back at the style hits of Hollywood’s newest baby mommas.  My vote for best red carpet maternity style has to go to Jenna Dewan – nothing complements that glow like some body-hugging black lace.  Kristen Bell ,(who by the way, also had one of my fave red carpet maternity moments recently in a Marchesa stunner shows pregnant women everywhere how to do every day maternity chic. A streamlined silhouette, cropped jacket, ad statement necklace – spot on!
