<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">On CBS "Live from the Couch" today showing off fashionable looks for kids on Easter. Follow these simple tips and your kids will definitely be super stylish this Sunday!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">GIRL'S STYLE:</span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Preppy is always in. Pair a classic dress with a structured blazer to keep
warm and stylish at the same time. Don't forget your Easter bonnet!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Stay stylish for your Easter egg hunt by wearing a printed jean with a
printed top. The key to mixing patterns is to keep them in the same
color family.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Classic and pretty is always a winner. Choose a ladylike dress matched with a
cardigan for a super stylish Easter. Pockets in your dress add a fun
twist. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"> BOY'S STYLE: </span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Layering your look will get all the attention. A button down, cardigan and
blazer are just the right amount of "formal". Add a tie for the complete
look!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Sporty for Easter can really work. Just make sure to keep the colors bright
and fun. Choose a windbreaker style jacket with a button down and white
jeans for instant fashion and comfort!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Who said wearing sneakers was only for the playground? When paired with a
comfortable and chic outfit, they can really add a bit of attitude.
Layer a zip up sweater over a button down to dress them up.
</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I am such a bad ass. No seriously, I am. At least I can style myself that way... Everything print and color on the bottom half is VERY in this season, so how could I resist these silk leopard drawstring pants? I couldn't.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I picked these up while I was in Chicago at Nordstrom Rack. They are Vince Camuto and they are comfy as hell. How could they not be, they look like stylish pajamas. Anyone can wear these if they have the confidence.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">They key to styling them is that they have to be the ONLY focal point of your look. Meaning, everything else you have on has to be basic in pattern and neutral in color. You can play with textures and materials like I did with the leather bomber form Loehmann's. Add crazy accessories if you need a little more pop like I always do. This is actually one necklace with 5 strands from an antique shop. You too can be a bad ass if you follow these rules.</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139842052728699103.post-15141714415848346722012-11-08T08:26:00.006-08:002012-11-08T08:30:00.454-08:00FREE Yoga and Fashion Event in NYC<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This past week I had the honor of styling my first Macy's fashion show highlighting some of the hottest fall fashions and winter warm styles. I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">traveled all the way out to the Staten Island Mall (which can be quite a trek from Queens:). </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am wearing Rachael Roy, which I got on sale for $100. I love the silhouette because it makes everyone look smaller with that type of paneling. Stella McCartney has also designed pieces like this, which I think is a definite must have item for the upcoming holidays!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The plum jumpsuit seen in the photo below is also Rachel Roy. This is a great example of a color that is really hot right now.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My favorite clothing compliment sounds something like this, "I love what you have on, but I never would have put that together!". That is the basis for most of my outfits I wear going out. Keep trying things until it works. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I just bought this Plastic Island jacket at a boutique upstate... Of course I got it on sale. I mixed it with my friends Forever 21 tube top and spandex leggings with zipper detail.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I grabbed a bunch of bracelets that I haven't worn in quite some time. Mostly the leather cuff, are those still cool? Who cares, I loved the bad ass feel of it mixed with my vintage crystal jewelry. I have kept it in the back of my jewelry box for a while now waiting for it to re-enter my accessory life. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I paired it with another vintage find, clip on earrings that look like they are made to go with a bad poofy dress from the '80s. It only proves that when styled with the right items (like Rayban aviators), you can make anything bad ass. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">These boots were made for walking by Boutique 9. They are suede and have a high platform making them actually pretty comfortable. I hate high heels so for me to say that really does mean something!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Summer is coming to a close, but my friends and I had to get one more daytime concert in before saying goodbye. The MOMA has a small museum next to where I live in Queens (yes, I live in Queens on the water and love it). Every Saturday during the summer they throw a "Warm-Up Party" that goes on all day. Every hour is a different DJ and there is a big dance party where recess used to be. It is a fashion feast for the eyes, no jean shorts and t-shirts here.... Unless they are bedazzled with leather and gold jewelry:)</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
All of my friends had the same idea, comfortable yet super stylish. The
crowd is very mixed, so as long as you have your own sense of style, you
will look amazing. I went for a ghetto fabulous look with tons and tons
of gold jewelry and a basic American Apparel tube dress. I seem to be
into ghetto fab these days. The yellow RL messenger bag was my pop of color.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I bought this dress at the Patricia Field store on the Bowery in NYC. I am obsessed with the "mullet" style dress (short in the front, long in back), but I had trouble finding one that I absolutely LOVED. When I found this, I knew it was "the one" (and it was only $70).</span> <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Just a little double stick tape in the front to make sure it doesn't swing open </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">and it was perfect. I styled Jaclyn up with a ton of bracelets including Alex and Ani and a few vintage mixed with an Urban Outfitter's watch. The ending note was Jaclyn's shades from 5 below (apparently everything is under 5 bucks) and her Sam Edleman boots. LOVE.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Fashion's Night Out in New York City was amazing, per usual. The entire city turns into a runway with an open bar. Every retail store is trying to out-do the next, so the parties are bigger and better with flowing, free alcohol (and sometimes food!).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The best part is the fashion. It is a great excuse (not like NY'ers need one) to put on your most fabulous outfit. I decided to do a pin-up girl ghetto fab look. I always need a theme. I wore an All Saints dress (purchased for $40 at my favorite consignment store) and a DVF belt. My layering piece was a royal blue jacket by Plastic Island ( bought on sale of course) and my Vince Camuto bag. I loaded on gold jewelry, all thrift except for my real gold hoops. The topper was my vintage leopard scarf and crocodile purse from Rome with my Pour La Victoire black pumps.</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139842052728699103.post-23117563056399897902012-04-03T08:31:00.004-07:002012-09-14T13:50:58.270-07:00Dinner in Milan: Comfortable Dressy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJV2rIIea_wJfC2HXoKRzRKT5ujs_b-ZccQp870i1cAk1086mN9X-8_L6mCmJ2YYp1zSlL6jFEYiOgErAFzG-_1RYDG0b_h7c2VPO3bgSEkfn6Bxo9b_KQ3dRK4SXxo2uILz1krInQenM/s1600/981.JPG"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727197800373551506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJV2rIIea_wJfC2HXoKRzRKT5ujs_b-ZccQp870i1cAk1086mN9X-8_L6mCmJ2YYp1zSlL6jFEYiOgErAFzG-_1RYDG0b_h7c2VPO3bgSEkfn6Bxo9b_KQ3dRK4SXxo2uILz1krInQenM/s400/981.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></span></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Out on the town in Milan. I pulled out my new (yet vintage) lizard clutch that I bought at a consignment store in Rome. I paired it with three gold necklaces of different lengths (one of which was strung with charms from my bat-mitzvah!:). I topped it off with a lucite and pyrite ring I bought last year in Paris. I sound so well-traveled!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The look was built around my Black Halo dress and Adrienne Landau rabbit fur vest. I decided that heels were just too painful (I had been walking around Milan all day!). I went for an edgy look and pulled out my Steve Madden black army boots with sheer black stockings. Think outside the box! Most people would have went for a heel.....</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139842052728699103.post-55189820692854920772012-03-14T07:39:00.004-07:002012-09-14T13:56:54.679-07:00My Style: Edgy, Daytime Chic<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsjETeZvSCW_E5lMNcP_pF5oCwEVtLTzkMJzrQ_kBYu46MLiZzYpT-_Yj7-eYWmE0jc1Sd5NsPskHS4KdrVuPEqaaO4kukZ-UHVnJDcoMxnP3Ijhnxa3V0pxz22tBS-aQBWfItmWmn98U/s1600/994.JPG"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719763992755900034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsjETeZvSCW_E5lMNcP_pF5oCwEVtLTzkMJzrQ_kBYu46MLiZzYpT-_Yj7-eYWmE0jc1Sd5NsPskHS4KdrVuPEqaaO4kukZ-UHVnJDcoMxnP3Ijhnxa3V0pxz22tBS-aQBWfItmWmn98U/s400/994.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></span></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Recently I went on a whirlwind European vacation and made it into my own personal fashion show. Kind of how I do everyday with my life. A pleasant daytime stroll in Zurich, Switzerland turned into a city wide photo shoot.</span><br />

This can overwhelmingly painful for many since the joy of packing is right up there with moving. The experience is just on a much smaller scale, but it still stings if you can't get it right.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It does not have to be brain surgery, you just need to realize you DO NOT need to bring the kitchen sink. Thanksgiving may be somewhat of a fashion show to most, but nothing more then a carry is needed for 5 days of travel. I am very serious about this:)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Let's take it step by step. Shall we begin with the suitcase? A compact, cute, rolling carry on is your best bet. Stay away from black when it comes to any suitcase. Let this Diane Von Furstenberg $90 piece pop against everybody else's boring black. You will never lose your patterned, bright option again! This duffel style is also slightly smaller then your average carry on, but is extremely expandable and has many pockets to store things separately.</span><br />

Roll it up. This method can easily double the amount that you get in your suitcase. It also saves you from wrinkled clothing!! Think about that, there are no folds so there are no creases when you take everything out. You will be able to stuff things in corners and spaces you never thought were useful. Do not waste any opportunity! Use your shoes to put socks and underwear in. Every space should be utilized.</span><br />

For $30 you can instantly look like everything just came from the dry cleaners. If you don't have time to pick one of these babies up, you can hang your wrinkled clothes in the bathroom with you when you shower. The steam helps to loosen up the creases, but nothing works like the portable steamer will.....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The other quick items that you should keep on hand are a sewing kit, double sided tape and a tide stick. Each of these can be a life saver when a wardrobe malfunction hits. The sewing kit will tighten up that loose button, the double sided tape will fix a ripped hem or possible low cleavage situation and the tide stick will get out the gravy. Three items that will save the day.</span><br />

What do you actually roll up in your cute suitcase? Packing for a trip is all about great foundation pieces with a few pop items. Accessories are your friend and will change up the look and feel of every piece you bring. Start simple, think basic. This is a great example, a black dress will be useful from day to evening. We are not after skin tight clothing, after all, this holiday is all about eating! Empire waist or silhouette skimming styles are your best options. Empire is fitted just below your bust leaving your tummy the chance to expand. Silhouette skimming styles are comfortable, do not look like a potato sack and still leave room for LOTS of turkey.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Tights are a quick way to change up your black dress for different activities you may be attending. Bring a few pairs, you may not wear all of them, but these are reasonable options that can be stuffed into your suitcase anywhere. Choose patterns for extra funky and solids for simplicity.</span><br />

Yes, I said one. A basic skinny style is all you are going to need if you follow all of my packing rules. They should be darker in color so they can go from day to night, lots of versatility. The skinny style is easily tucked in the boots you will also be bringing. More on that later... In addition to your jeans, choose 2 sweaters, one thinner and one super cozy and thick. The thicker one will be what you travel in. You always want to wear your bulkier items during travel leaving more room for other clothing in your suitcase.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The other choice for a bottom half is black leggings. This means that all of your layering pieces have to be slightly longer to cover your bum. If your leggings are thinner, add a pair of tights under them. You know you packed them!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

Make sure to pack lots of different T shirts, tanks and long sleeve T's. These are the perfect backdrop for everything else you have brought!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Just like this picture and all before it, you better bring your best boots. You can bring up to 2 pairs. You are wearing one pair while you travel so you will pack the other one. People get crazy with shoes and keep throwing them in, but this is your worst enemy! They add weight and take up too much room. Aside from 2 pairs of boots, you may want to grab a pair of heels just for the dressier activities, but no more. Stop the shoe insanity!</span><br />

These are what is going to make every foundation piece you have brought really become an outfit. Do not think that I have told you to pack super boring items! I have told you to pack super simple items that can styled fabulously different!!! Here come tons of scarves, hats and jewelry. You can really stuff as much as you want into your suitcase so this is where you have options when you get there. You never know how you are going to feel each day and maybe you want to switch it up at the last second, let your accessories do the switching. Buy a great traveling jewelry organizer that can be filled to the brim. Think everything. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings.... Scarves are also fun and can be stuffed into your shoes right along with your underwear and socks. Have fun with this category!</span><br />

This can mean anything to you! Pick a bag that is super versatile within your style and can be worn day to night. This Marc Jacobs bag is a perfect example of something that is sassy and realistic. It is your "one personal item". You can stuff it to the brim on the way to your holiday, and they use it as a cute purse any where you go while you are there. It is expandable and yet flattens out just as easily when there is nothing in it. Wonderful.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I think you should be ready to go now. Packing is just a nightmare until you buckle down and do it following the above rules. You need to stop worrying what you didn't bring and focus on what you are going to bring. With the right basics, you can build any look through accessories. And always remember, unless you are in the middle of no where, there is a store just around the corner.....</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139842052728699103.post-89031868783749587952011-11-17T07:20:00.000-08:002012-09-14T13:53:09.577-07:00Museum Chic: Getting Glam for the Guggenheim<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTQs6OZbP42GJrg9kjkYZqLIpwX1N1MTSAYdVkxLYBTTobOOaIIfiPYTlUF7gZziJY14Uds03x4BzRjy6NZwSGul9Rbkw4SVda-dCQWbpev2sGl1tjLWP4YmdCcy2vpgsXrzk_OqZHpKk/s1600/IMG_0952.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675985819128714242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTQs6OZbP42GJrg9kjkYZqLIpwX1N1MTSAYdVkxLYBTTobOOaIIfiPYTlUF7gZziJY14Uds03x4BzRjy6NZwSGul9Rbkw4SVda-dCQWbpev2sGl1tjLWP4YmdCcy2vpgsXrzk_OqZHpKk/s400/IMG_0952.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 549px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 413px;" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It is rare when you live somewhere that you take time out of your busy schedule to actually SEE your city. I live in one of the most culturally diverse towns on earth and I have only been to 2 museums in 6 years. Shameful. So when my friend Linda suggested we make our way uptown to pop into the Guggenheim, I was thrilled. Culture here I come.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The museum is located on the upper east side. If you know anything about anything (or watch Gossip Girl), you know that the UES is full of high class fashion. I love to play a new fashion part everyday, so this was a great opportunity for me to go over the top. When I met Linda her first reaction was, "Why are you so fancy?" Because I can be Linda, because I can be. Do I need a better reason? Neither do you, dress up because you want to!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I had no idea what I was walking into, which is kind of the way I like it. Surprises are fun. Apparently it was the first day of artist Maurizio Cattelan's exhibit. It was seriously mind blowing. I am not a "museum" type of girl, but this was awesome. It is hard to tell from the picture what was going on, but let me do some quick explaining. Instead of hanging everything on the walls as Guggenheim exhibits are usually displayed, Cattelan said he would only show if everything was hung from the ceiling. As you circled up the winding ramp, every step gave you a different perspective and new pieces of art popped out at you. Cattelan had a fascination with mortality, so much of the art included actual dead animals, including several dead horses. Bizarre and totally cool. Completely worth the 18 bucks it cost to get in.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My gray coat was purchased several years ago at a fabulous sample sale store called <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/cadillacs-castle-new-york">Cadillac's Castle</a> in New York City. I don't think I paid more then $100 bucks for it. Unfortunately, this Walter by Walter Baker coat is no longer available.... Anywhere. So here is a much more expensive option by Valentino. Totally an investment so you have to take that into account when spending $1000 on a coat. The key is to have it cinch at the waist, slightly flaring until it ends just above your knees. It is a great shape for almost any body type.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Next up, my awesome rabbit fur scarf by Adrienne Landau. Of course I purchased mine directly from the showroom during a sample sale, but it is not SO unoriginal that you can't find a similar one. This option by Joseph is just over $100. The key to why I love my scarf so much is the slit in one side that allows you to put the other side through. You can pull it tight and keep yourself nice and warm or leave it loose for a stylish accessory. Rabbit is one of the least expensive furs and yet it looks super luxurious. Needless to say, this is the most affordable option.</span><br />

I love them and they were the least pricey pair I looked at! That never happens. By Vince Camuto, this is the first year that his shoe line has extended into accessories and clothing. He even has a few pop up stores here in NYC. His new line features fun, trendy pieces that are really not that expensive. Take these big frame black sunglasses for example, they are only $55! That is great for a quality pair of sunnies. They are the perfect topper to any ensemble if you are going for the "rich and fabulous" look. We all need to be super fab every now and then....</span><br />

Unfortunately there is no way you can find my awesome hand knit beret because it actually is hand knit.... By my mommy! Often times we bring our creative talents together. I design something and she actually makes it. This fun beret is a great example. I love the color and it adds a touch of fun to any look. Additionally, it is a good weight so I can wear it inside and outside. Fashion for every temperature. This example is a little more blue, but provides the same amount of fun. At $15 from Sears, you really can't beat it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So next time you have a reason to go a bit over the top, do it. Why not be the most fabulous person there? Why not wear all of those items that you would never put together? Have your friends ask you why you are so fancy and own it. You are fancy because you are fabulous and you can't help it.</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139842052728699103.post-47230998875882145982011-11-10T10:53:00.000-08:002012-09-14T13:53:34.762-07:00Gray is the New Black<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrfW98-zNZEeJHUBCAirRYgVUHLUlnFTupmt90kCkpHg_qxnWrwH7cLrwm5fuQ0rTAB9egsv5YMAOf_gbmo7-9VHG-b5BKCfWsGOixa7mFqhUXp0VyUFYDBTrxSIUgLlhoVY81CbQynLQ/s1600/greyblake.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673442310935017938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrfW98-zNZEeJHUBCAirRYgVUHLUlnFTupmt90kCkpHg_qxnWrwH7cLrwm5fuQ0rTAB9egsv5YMAOf_gbmo7-9VHG-b5BKCfWsGOixa7mFqhUXp0VyUFYDBTrxSIUgLlhoVY81CbQynLQ/s400/greyblake.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 400px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 183px;" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">If Serena loves gray, then it must be the new black. With colder months coming, we need more then just the normal neutrals. Black is so yesterday. Truth be told, I am never opposed to the simplicity of black or brown as your choice for a neutral, but try something new. Try gray.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am absolutely loving this look on Blake Lively for her character in Gossip Girl. It is gray, gray, gray and it looks good, good, good. I seriously cannot seem to stay away from it this fall. Every look I put together ends up so darn gray. So I am just going to go with it and consider it my signature of the season. And now it can be yours too.....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">There are so many options when choosing how to bring the lifeless color into your look. It may seem drab, but it is just the thing that is going to set your look apart from your sea of friends. Take Blake for example, most people would have chosen a black boot, she went gray. Go for slightly different by choosing this color, but not jumping from the cliff. Push yourself stylishly.... just a little:)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG1puCVRoJJKLmt5x6B6jJ220UP-m8ucraoxbyKqul4ZNdeOPM7Ra5PBtLhRRatbc9COVlYb7AjgCXdWL1_hA6OOUa1WZ_HcB0RzsQFjLWIISex94Z1nPU6Mu0sav4Q1jbJIgkxVjA2F0/s1600/greyreese.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673443824542310146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG1puCVRoJJKLmt5x6B6jJ220UP-m8ucraoxbyKqul4ZNdeOPM7Ra5PBtLhRRatbc9COVlYb7AjgCXdWL1_hA6OOUa1WZ_HcB0RzsQFjLWIISex94Z1nPU6Mu0sav4Q1jbJIgkxVjA2F0/s400/greyreese.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 400px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 144px;" /></a>Another option that I absolutely love is doing a brown boot with gray tights. Reese has it spot on. It throws off the look from "normal" just the right amount. Tights are an important accessory during the colder months and can not only add excitement to your look, but they can extend the wearability of a lot of your pieces. Like dresses and skirts!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Stop buying black everything all of the time. If you try one new thing this season, try gray tights.</span><br />

Gray jeans are a safe way to enter the world of "new neutrals". Try out this pair by Seven. They are fantastic because they can go with black or brown. This makes a pair of gray jeans the most versatile you will ever own. If that isn't a selling point, I don't know what is!</span><br />

An indoor/outdoor gray jacket. This piece will be useful from fall all the way through to spring. It can be worn as your jacket when it is a bit warmer out or under your coat as a layering piece for your look. The gray color makes the jacket transferable from warmer to colder months. What a perfect investment piece this Helmut Lang jacket would make to any gal's wardrobe.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So I think my argument has been proven. Gray IS the new black beyond a reasonable doubt. Search just slightly outside your comfort zone and you will quickly find that adding some gray is just the sunshine your wardrobe needs.</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139842052728699103.post-8569144474935635972011-10-25T06:52:00.000-07:002012-09-14T13:54:13.206-07:00My Day at the Vintage Market: Fab Finds!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9_LZZf89Izh10R0zn9tCCWfWOiAnFAsuxCG3IsRMfUkfaIur3jmItYYrWvoZzbVG_GERVZabQOvbYjJ5Ga4NZq3JZQP6FzmXGZ6n1uIak6B-QgrDl246GiUqzeEDl37Sj8-NS3K5npLA/s1600/DSC01618.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667435109832042450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9_LZZf89Izh10R0zn9tCCWfWOiAnFAsuxCG3IsRMfUkfaIur3jmItYYrWvoZzbVG_GERVZabQOvbYjJ5Ga4NZq3JZQP6FzmXGZ6n1uIak6B-QgrDl246GiUqzeEDl37Sj8-NS3K5npLA/s400/DSC01618.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 534px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 401px;" /></a><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am obsessed with a treasure hunt. There is nothing wrong with a merchandised store, but it is finding a diamond in the ruff that really gets me going. Lucky for me, New York City is FULL of vintage markets. Once a year, there is a massive affair at the Metropolitan Pavillion in Chelsea, and it is A-mazing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I headed over with my girlfriends Allison and Jackie to find something fabulous. There was a $20 entrance fee (I got a discounted pass) which is totally nuts. I actually paid to go shop, you know the sale must be good.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Styled by yours truly, Allison looked amazing in her rabbit vest. It was the maiden voyage for this great piece. Very in this season. I threw on my new Sandro hat and leather jacket, both purchased at a consignment store. Notice the black cat suit underneath. This was quite strategic. I planned on trying on a lot of stuff with no dressing room and instead of being naked in the middle of the pavilion, I put everything on OVER this look. How genius!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiThQfcbzsN0VnFmwTO1HsAgqcW67dpb2SxoOykR4QcqhRH-AdScn87nv0mSk7sus48tyxmD6aX_jwV1ROX7RMLNTvNTF1mePg2OzbwC3pWmawdO2Rws16i4xlf5Zyi3ZUS0LPmgv28DV8/s1600/DSC01621.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667432284540328002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiThQfcbzsN0VnFmwTO1HsAgqcW67dpb2SxoOykR4QcqhRH-AdScn87nv0mSk7sus48tyxmD6aX_jwV1ROX7RMLNTvNTF1mePg2OzbwC3pWmawdO2Rws16i4xlf5Zyi3ZUS0LPmgv28DV8/s400/DSC01621.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 536px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 403px;" /></a>How nuts is this? I look like an over-sized blue sheep. This is great for a "fat" day because no body can see a damn thing. Prada designed this for 2011 and they must have been on some sort of hallucinogen when they did it. Thank you for drugs because this is awesome. It called to me from the other side of the pavilion. There was no way you could miss this from a million miles away.....</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And then there were gold chains. Lots of them. The truth is that although I loved all of them, they were WAY overpriced. Since I have been doing this for so long, I am pretty aware of what things are worth. Even though I may love something, I always question the price tag. I am not made of money here! And even if I was, I would still ask, "Is this worth the price?". These chains are something that you can find any suburban Salvation Army for $5 to $10. They were selling them for between $80 and $125! I couldn't do it. Talk about a mark up.</span><br />

Needless to say, I was not pleased. I went there to spend my hard earned cash! If I am going to pay a cover charge to shop, I am going to shop damn it. I do LOVE my gold belt with tassel. It is adjustable so I can wear it around my waist or on my hips. At $55, I will say I think it was a bit overpriced, but I loved it. I also think my mind was a bit frazzled because everything seemed to be so expensive so 55 bucks seemed cheap. Even stylists who question price tags get confused:) I also got this leopard scarf which was definitely vintage because it smelled old. I am half kidding. I think it will look fabulous with a large, crystal vintage broach. Now I just need to buy one. It is a great indoor/outdoor accessory.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It may have been a less successful shopping trip then I had hoped, but all in all, it was definitely worth the time.

It looks like a bomb went off in my closet. Very scary. When you spend all of your time in other people's closets, sometimes your own gets completely out of control. It is not a good sales pitch for new clients, so I decided it was time to fix the crazy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Honestly, one of the biggest reasons to clean out your closet is because half the time you forget what you own. This is not my problem. I have a huge brain in reference to memorizing not only my own wardrobe, but my client's as well. I also got super lucky and found an apartment with a walk in closet, not normal in NYC. This unfortunately means that I can continue to fill it up and fill it up and fill it up..... That is not always a good thing for anyone.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I made a strong decision to eliminate all of my "cheaper" clothing. I am 32 and work with people that have amazing clothes, I must fit the profile. It was time to brand my own style as sassier, classier and super designer fabulous. Out with (some) of the old, in with the new!</span><br />

Obviously there are pieces that need to go at first glance, but then there is the "maybe" pile. Sometimes this requires a second eye (that is why I have a job), but what does a stylist do who is suppose to be an expert? Well, I bring over my friend who is also very fashionable because everybody needs a second opinion!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This fur vest is no old piece. In fact, it still has a tag on it. I have been searching high and low for the perfect fur vest with the perfect price tag and 2 long years later, I found it. $180 by Adrienne Landau at Century 21. I am in love.</span><br />

Three garbage bags and three shopping bags later, my soul was cleansed. My lucky friend Jackie walked away with the three shopping bags full of clothes, shoes and jewelry. I felt it was my good deed for the month. One man's trash (or in this case, cute stuff), is another lovely ladies treasure. Lucky girl. The rest was sent to Salvation Army. Anything that was good enough for consignment was given to Jackie. I figured making a few bucks from my old pieces wasn't as good as seeing my friend wearing it:)</span><br />

They never seem to fit perfectly. Well have no fear, I have a designer that seems to hit the nail on the head every time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Enter Alice and Olivia by Stacey Bendet. Almost all of my client's own at least one pair of these fabulous pants (including myself). She just really seems to understand a woman's curves, most notably, a woman's waist. Jelly roll is never pretty. You know, the part of your stomach that hangs over your pants. Not fun. That is the genius of the Alice and Olivia design. There is a thicker waist band at the top of the pants so they never cut into you. Please see the lovely example of these black wide leg pants. Divine.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.aliceandolivia.com/stacey-slim-leg-pants.html"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657441637595433906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhivSTJtwZotxIuZhrbCiRadZHGB9UXS8PwDLkzj1Rm63Cyi3WEtM80F3hj0BSQVhtoOdTy5jo3qMZDLOojUy3_gAPYf3K53UefuiJ64RuCp13FTZlQXy8wsxMh35pSCfXcetXvH0QsZyY/s400/aliceandolivia.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 402px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 402px;" /></a>Next up, skinny red pants. Do not be scared, I know these are not for everyone. You definitely have to be on the slender side, but curves are not rejected by this style. They still feature a wonderful wide waist band, but are much more modern in the silhouette. A cinched ankle is often a tough thing to pull off, but if your leg is on the straighter side, it can be your friend. Skinny pants are great because they can be worn with any size heel. Go from super flat to ridiculously high and they will always work! I love anything with millions of styling options:) Aside from the fun style, the color of these pants is a super pop to any look. Stop wearing dark colors on the bottom and switch it up. Who said you can't wear brights on the bottom and dark colors on the top? Try it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.aliceandolivia.com/leather-bell-cuff-pants.html"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657442663030454386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghiEAX0fpWtzB1571F4Rb23MzbYbVyATmkvx2zBJ6rc5lRrwZsyrNvO1akwS2snhfcECnavSs2EfPgVRI9E-v-roibSwqmhQ9ZtYKqweFTiZLh9cEWcgbzYBP3qk2Alchjf9_LSAQ3jjk/s400/aliceandolivia2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 398px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 398px;" /></a>Ah, leather bell bottoms. Who knew I would be suggesting these? They are the style of the season though, yes, bell bottoms are back. They are not for everyone, but if you have longer, skinnier legs, these are for you! It is very difficult to have a large flare at the bottom if you are not taller because the pants will just drag you down. They accentuate the lowest part of you, often shortening and certainly widening you. Not good. So if you are tall, have fun and go bold with a leather pair. It is never out and makes a fantastic statement when worn with any look.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So stop cursing out your pants and try on a pair of Alice and Olivia. They might just make you re-think your hatred.</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139842052728699103.post-15852858251846109952011-09-23T07:56:00.000-07:002012-12-15T07:46:46.943-08:00The Best Accessory: Gold Watch Bonanza<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /></span>

Additionally, I literally just bought myself a new gold watch that I am totally obsessed with so I have "gold watch" on the brain. I have worn it everyday since I bought it as my recent posts show.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The truth is, in true bargain shopping fashion, I found what I considered to be the best deal of the century. I have been searching for quite some time for a watch that was not Michael Kors. I LOVE his line of watches, but everyone has them. I wanted to be not only different, but to somehow spend less then $250 (what his watches go for). It is a totally fair price for a piece that is going to be rocked 7 days a week, but there seemed to be nothing out there that had the same pop for the same price.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And then I came across a brand that has done me well. A few years back I went to the Armitron show room in NYC and they so kindly gave me a watch so I would keep coming back. Ah, perks of the job! I receive compliments on it every time I wear it and it keeps on ticking with no problems. I knew this baby had long term possibilities! A quick trip to Amazon and $70 bucks later, I was in gold watch heaven. Compliments keep pouring in and when I tell them the price they are shocked. Good job Salinger.</span><br />

It is by a company that just came to the states, Folli Follie. Aside from the fabulous watch, they had an array of fun jewelry. Only problem was, it was $400. As noted, this was past my $250 limit. It is not that I didn't think it was worth it, I just couldn't see spending that much when I knew Michael Kors had a very similar, sturdy style for much less. So, my mission continued as I returned home.....</span><br />

It really is a great watch. As you can see though, through this very scientific demonstration, these 3 watches are all super similar with 3 very different price points. I don't like to buy cheap, but I like to buy "reasonable". I think I found my perfect watch at my perfect pricepoint. Find what fits you.</span>Amy Salingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14529476355432737742noreply@blogger.com0
