FAIRYTALES IN FASHION

 



A
fter much anticipation Alice in Wonderland is finally in the theatres! Even though I'm delighted, I'd thougth I pay tribute to one of my other favorites and sources of inspiration: Little Red Riding Hood. I know I can definitely relate as a girl who has always been drawn into talking to my fair share of wolves in the forest.

 

And it's one of the reasons why I am in love with Rebe's Fanny Coat, now available in red.

The eco friendly mother and daughter design team Debra Weiss and Hillery Sproatt, offer the fabulous fanny rain coat in a variety of colors, made from cotton nylon wax wear and lined with contrasting knit fabric. It's easy to care for, waterproof and requires no ironing or steaming. Plus, I especially love the signature pocket design in the perfect spot for the cosmpolitan red ridding hood's i phone, so she can listen to favorite tunes and not be distracted into unneccessary conversations on her next journey.

WINTER WONDERLAND

New York City will be covered with blankets of snow all weekend. I made a few mini journeys today, one early to the deli around the corner for coffee and then later on to the supermarket around the corner and across the riverbank of the street for my kitty's dinner. I know rationally that other places in the world have real snowfall situations but I've decided anyways that I perfer to take it pretty easy. I actually enjoy the snow perfectly from indoors

I never really thought much of rainboots until I saw the recent collaboration of Melissa Plastic Dreams shoes and Vivienne Westwood. These are the cutest rainboots I've ever seen. I absolutely love love love them!

The Melissa shoe line is one of my favorites; amazing designs fabricated out of recycled plastics. One place to find is at the eco friendly boutique Kaight in LES, you can also see Kaight in the Sapphire Whisper NYC Shopping Guide.

FASHIONABLE GLAMOUR AND ORIGINALITY

After watching the Golden Globes my mindset has wandered away from stylish sleek and toasty winter gear to dreams of old Hollywood elegance. I'm always infatuated with  glamour and it's so refreshing to get swept up into the dreamy waves of fashion and couture. I guess that's why I love fashion and styling!

When choosing the perfect party dress and accessories, I am always drawn to vintage. I absolutely love vintage because it's the such a great way to make your own fashion statement as you can search for that one of a kind treasures, drawing on inspiration from fashion icons of the past and making it all your own. Frock is one of vintage boutiques included in our Sapphire Whisper NYC Shopping Guide. For the Golden Globe Awards, Julia Roberts chose a vintage YSL 1970's black wool crepe dress purchased from Frock's impressive collection of wonderful one of kind vintage finds from the 60's to the 80's. Julia Robert's dress reflects timeless elegance and sophisication.

Originally from the Lower East Side, Frock can now be found in Nolita. It's easy to see why it's a celebrity favorite and a must to be explored to discover such a wonderfully well edited selection of fabulous vintage pieces, which include many designers pieces and accessories from the vintage collections, such as Channel, YSL, Gucci and more.  Shown right stunning dress from Oleg Cassini, 1980's Black Silk & Beaded Mini Dress.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The new decade begins a liltle too chilly for my tastes. As we are getting ready for spring fashion, it gets distracting while piling layers and layers before going outside. But let's begin the year with some postitive thoughts, NYC boutiques are also thinking ahead to get ready for spring time and although those warm days seem very long and far far away, what is here are fabulous winter sales on the stylish cozy winter time pieces that you both need and want at all time low prices.

And for one of my favorites, Rachel Comey.  She has some great winter accessories that are so cuddly soft and toasty with modern and versatile cuts made of lush baby alpacca wool.
