 Late Winter Edition  

Elegance is back. But, be careful not to get too stuffy. Try giving new spin to an old top by pairing it with white pants and a black tuxedo jacket.


And what do gentlemen prefer?


  • Coats trimmed with fur or fake fur

  • Gap jeans trimmed with velvet

 

The holidays are a time to party, to dress up and have some fun. And what a party it will be this year. It’s The Year of the Dress, so whether you’re in the market for demure or for va-va-voom, there are loads of very feminine dresses from which to choose. Designers like Kevan Hall (dresses below), Nicole Miller, Diane Von Furstenberg and Vera Wang always have been unbeatable sources. Handbag

Now, there are a handful of other names to look to for great dresses. Be sure to check out Tommy Hilfiger, BCBG, J. Mendel, Dolce & Gabbana and even The Gap. Then, follow these guidelines for wearing your party dress:

Ladylike is in

The new length–anywhere between knee and ankle

The new fuller skirts skim over many a figure problem

Shoes are either dainty and flat or high heeled. And remember, prints add whimsy!


This holiday, the little black dress needs a pretty fur cape, a big sparkly brooch or a gold clutch bag .

FABULOUS GIFT IDEAS THAT WILL HAVE THEM BEGGING FOR MORE

What’s the best gift you ever received? Bets are it wasn’t the most expensive or the most prestigious. Just the right gift at the right time and you really appreciated it and the fact that someone cared that much.

So as the giver, take a moment to think about the person to whom you’re giving. Consider the obvious. If someone works out, training gear is always right. Do a little research. Ask a friend, a spouse, a sibling what that person has been longing for. Perhaps it’s the perfect pink cuff links from Bolen or a charm bracelet like the one pictured by Links of London.

Remember:

Think luxury

Indulge them in a cashmere scarf – something that says, “You deserve the finer things in life”

Give an accessory piece from a brand name: Gucci, Prada, Coach, Marc Jacobs

Think Ecko and Sean John clothing for younger men

Buy something vintage or limited edition

“Give something that you’d like to own yourself,” advises designer, Marc Jacobs.  The creative force behind the Louis Vuitton label and designer of his signature collection and Marc by Marc Jacobs, Jacobs spoke with Personal Style about gift-giving, finding a look that works, the next Louis Vuitton Murakami bag and his Paris apartment.
