Style Star: Barry Dixon

February 16, 2015 By Jaima Leave a Comment

I was fortunate to meet interior designer Barry Dixon at the DCOTA Design Week event in Miami. His decorating style reflects southern charm with international influences which is reflected though his fabric collection by Vervain Fabrics. I also found out that he is coming out with a wallpaper collection this fall. As a lover of wallpaper and a designer myself, I can’t wait to see it!

Barry shared his life with us in Miami and showed pictures of his beautiful 1907 Edwardian Estate in Virginia where he lives and runs his design firm. It was a great meet and greet day……thanks Barry for being so charming!

Style Star: Mario Buatta

February 12, 2015 By Jaima Leave a Comment

Last week in Miami Florida I was attending Design Week at DCOTA and was fortunate enough to meet up with famous interior designer Mario Buatta. For many years I have followed this talented designer who was known in the industry as “The Prince of Chintz”.

Mario created one of a kind interiors. He was never afraid to use brilliant colors and prints. It was this love of English design blended with American color that set his style apart from others. Mario truly was the Prince of chintz as he was always known for creating spaces with bold colors and floral prints.

Thanks for inspiring us over 50 years in design. Cheers!

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.

Style Star: Fashion Angel in America

Designer: Michael Angel

If you haven’t already noticed, I have a strong affinity for bold prints. Prints and pattern in fashion, home and beyond make for more interesting living don’t you think? I haven’t seen a grouping that exemplifies this more than Michael Angel’s new capsule collection for Moda Operandi. In His words the collection offers “a mix of femininity and power.” Well, I would say so!

New York’s Style Stars: Kirna Zabete & Dannijo Jewels

Happy 4th Shopping Extravaganza

It’s the Fourth of July and it’s just starting to really feel like summer. So, I thought it fitting to make this week’s style star and overall theme; boutique style. More specifically, I’m paying homage to the best of the best in boutique style from the epicenter of domestic fashion – New York City. Whether it’s Uptown, Downtown or on the periphery over in Brooklyn, NY is one of the true shopping and style meccas in the world. Whether hitting up boutiques like Kirna Zabete for the latest in designer duds or shopping cult fave, handmade in NYC jewels from Dannijo, New York is the place for everyone to showcase their most bold daring looks period.

Style Star: Rose Byrne

Rose Byrne Style Star

How could I not kick off a week long ode to florals without giving my style star to a one Ms. Byrne, Ms. Rose Byrne? OK, so maybe her name made her an obvious choice, but so did her endlessly chic feminine dresses and her unrestrained love of floral frocks. Yes, she may be stunning in those edgier designer numbers she often sports at red carpet events, but boy how she does glow when donning that pretty Mad Men style flower print!

Style Star: Olivia Palermo & Emma Stone

Celebs Seeing Spots

Polka dots; a classic print that will forever be in style. Good for young and old, evening or casual, the look of these dots is somehow always fresh. Celebs far and wide clearly agree as I have spotted, wink wink, some of their best red carpet and front looks are bedecked in these dots. Some of their best fashions, in fact, are at the formal end of the spectrum…a little surprising considering how equally good they look atop little girl frocks. But c’mon, how could you not love that hi-lo bubble hem version on Olivia Palermo or Emma Stone’s maxi number?

Style Star: Angelina Jolie

Style Star: Angelina Jolie

The beautiful Ms. Jolie has always been a polarizing figure…throngs of fans envying her sexy look and applauding her humanitarian efforts…and throngs of Jennifer Aniston fans chastising her formerly questionable antics and relationships. After her recent announcement regarding her preventative double mastectomy, parties on both sides of the fence have to applaud her selfless sharing. As one of the most prolific sex symbols of our time, her choice could not have been an easy one. So Ms. Jolie wins my vote as this week’s style star for always carrying herself with grace and poise – the most stylish adornment any woman can have!

Style Star: Johnny Depp the Fashion Icon

Johnny Depp is a Fashion Icon

I feel as though I have been remiss in neglecting the male gender for my weekly style star. So, in my first nod to the boys I am going to pay homage to the main man himself; Mr. Johnny Depp. His sex appeal and style appeal alike are universally undeniable. Even if you generally steer clear of that meticulously disheveled look, most of us would make an exception for this guy. Sort of the male version of Mary Kate and Ashley, he has mastered his own personal layered and quirky look. Always sporting some portion of his signature hat and gaggle of jewelry motif, he will forever be still in my heart.

Style Star: Kate Middleton

May 7, 2013 By Jaima Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that the Ms. Kate Middleton has inspired legions of loyal fans, domestically and across the pond, ever since she was first spotted on the arm of Prince William back at University. Even before the royal wedding, she garnered style devotees that looked to her classic fashion choices for inspiration prior to every shopping trip. That following has ramped up even further now that she has brought her style smarts to the world of maternity. In my humble opinion she has done maternity even better than her everyday attire…and what better final accessory than that beautiful pregnancy glow!!
