It’s simply not realistic for all of us to have four seasons of clothing. So, we’re going to show you how to make a piece multi-seasonal. We all have our favorite “go-to” jersey dress for Summer. It feels light and airy on a hot humid day. In the summer you’re wearing it with bamboo bracelets, gladiator sandals, and a shot of turquoise in a Beirn bag. To make that dress work into the fall, put it with leggings or skinny jeans and a pair of tall boots. On cooler days, pop on a leather bomber jacket. Make a Fall statement by keeping the details in darker colors like an aubergine belt and handbag. Voila! You’ll get another couple of months out of one dress.

    Four years ago, my sunday night with the girls came screeching to a halt. What was I going to do now? It was like I had been brutally frozen out of the cool click, and all I was left with was a group of mobsters. My Sunday night went from Barney’s to the Bada-Bing, and while I liked my mobsters they didn’t compare to my girls. Finally, the girls are back! I can’t wait to see what they’ve been up to and, more importantly, what they’re wearing. I think every girl who watched the show loved to see how the outfits were put together. It wasn’t always the most wearable clothing, but it was edgy and had a fresh way of presenting self-expression. So, you’re going to the movie with a group of friends. What on earth are you going to wear? Go for a top in a luscious fabric that feels good against your skin, paired with some super skinny jeans. Skinny jeans will help showcase your shoes. When it comes to the shoes… go for it! It’s all about the shoes tonight! We’ve selected a pair of Dior shoes that Carrie is wearing in the movie (only in a pewter), but there are a million copies out there. The bottom line is, make a statement with your shoes and bag on this particular night. The orange bag we’ve selected is another piece from Carrie’s movie wardrobe. It’s very accessible, and will last well beyond your night at the movies. I hope the movie transports you to a fabulous moment in New York City, and you leave with a smile on your face. Have fun, and a lot of laughs. Oh yeah… and look fabulous!
