Art has no boundaries and only through art are we able to cross boundaries and connect to people globally. Stephanie Kantis is a designer who embarked onto her journey as a jewelry designer by breaking these boundaries. An interior designer for nearly two decades, inspired by her trips to Mexico and Spanish culture, Stephanie chose to leave all that she knew behind and immerse herself into the romantic lifestyle of a Spanish colonial town.

Her time spent there inspired her to create her very first collection incorporating several local techniques. Today, the designer still maintains her brand’s diverse origins and continues to grow her collections with inspiration derived from various cultures of the world.

Their sunburst design has easily become my new closet staple!

Story of a Choker: Ritika Sachdeva

I believe chokers have been trending so long that at this point they might as well be a closet staple. They come in all sizes and shapes and the variety is pretty much endless. So now the struggle is to find this new closet staple a personality of its own.

For me the clear winner is Ms. Sachdeva’s twist of east-meets-west slash bohemian slash tribal embellished choker.

Here is my take on the how to get this choker on pretty much everything you own.

With a Turtle Neck

Winter is not really going anywhere anytime soon, so pair up this funky piece with a simple black turtleneck and jeans for a daytime look. Keeping this cozy with a twist.

With a Classic White Shirt

Wear this choker inside a classic white shirt and pair of cropped fringe jeans to keep things on trend. Let the accessories bring in that pop of color while keeping the outfit monochrome.

With a Simple Camisole

A open neckline + choker? Indeed! Chokers are known to accentuate your neckline and shoulders so pairing this one with a basic camisole and a flirty pleated skirt might just be your next outfit of choice to the next lunch date. (Don’t forget a clutch to keep all the necessities handy)

NYE Edit

I don’t want to assume that every girl out there is in the same situation as me, but I am pretty sure in about 2.5 days we all will be in the I-have-nothing-to-wear state of mind. With all the food devoured and all the soul cycle classes skipped (because you were too busy shopping those online sales) that sequin mini dress you pledged to wear at the start of 2016 might as well wait out another year/ another New Years resolution.

And then, there is this whole new sleuth of fabrics and trends one can choose from this year making things even worse. With Velvet making a come back, metallics staying ever strong and sequins never left the scene, what should one settle for?

I have narrowed down to 5 trends I am nodding towards this NYE:

Metallics
Velvet
Fringe
Sequin
Feather

Metallics:

Pair the trend with classics like pumps and a basic turtleneck. And since its your final good bye to 2016 might as well add that little oomph and put on your favorite statement jewels.

Shop the trend:

A.L.C Bobby Pleated Lame Midi

DvF Heavyn Metallic Pleated Midi

Miss Selfridge Silver Metallic Pleated Skirt

Zara Metallic Fine Pleated Skirt

Velvet:

(Top: Zara, Shoes: JCrew, Jeans: JCrew)

Velvet is definitely fabric of the year and there is no denying it has taken over all our closet staples from joggers to shoes. Play up a velvet top with a pair of printed booties and cropped flared jeans.

Shop the trend:

Topshop Polly Bardot Velvet Top

Vince Hald Sleeve Jewel Neck Velvet Tee

ASOS Velvet Wrap Tea Blouse

b.Young High Neck Velvet Top

Zara Velvet Top

& Other Stories Graphic Devore Blouse

Fringe

(Dress: TART Collections, Shoes: Jean Michel Cazabar, Cutch: Zara)

Fringe instantly takes us back to the 70’s and can easily become too costume-y if taken too literally. Since we will be celebrating New Years and not Halloween its crucial to keep the accessories minimal and more modern to avoid any further confusions on your sartorial status.

Shop the trend:

Aidan by Aidan Mattox Fringe Sheath Dress

Joie Sanibel Embellished Fringe Trim Dress

Herve Leger Fringe-Hem Embellished Knit Bandage Dress

Misguided Peace and Love Fringe Dress

Zara Fringe Top

Sequin:

(Dress: Elizabeth & James, Shoes: Zara, Bag: Emilio Pucci)

The number one trend for all New Year Eves is metallics. When all else fails, sparkles it is! Why not pair it with metallic accessories and basic heels to keep the bling under control.

Shop the trend:

Zara Sequined Dress with a V-Neck

Zara Sequin Slip Dress

Hailstone Heritage Racerback Sequined Sheath Dress

Elizabeth and James Tank Dress

Elizabeth and James Danya Metallic Mini Dress

Feathers:

(Skirt: Line & Dot, Sweater: JCrew, Shoes: Jean Michel Cazabat)

Surely my favorite! Pair a feather skirt with a classic slouchy sweater (brownie points for winter friendly attire) and a pair of booties or classic pumps. Or why not go all out and wear a fully feathered dress, after all it is the last thing you will wear in 2016.

Shop the trend:

Keira Ostrich Skirt

Carolina Herrar Feather Trimmed Knit Top

Michael Kors Feather Embellished Chantilly Lace Mini Dress

Jason Wu Feather-Embellished Voile Skirt

Alice + Olivia Cina Feather Mini Skirt

So what will you be wearing this NYE? 🙂

Brocade

I was on a mission this winter. And the mission was to own the most comfortable, warm and pretty shoes that last me all winter and I was not going to give up or give in! This mission of course started with these eye catching Sam Edelman booties.

The process of buying these shoes went so:

week 1: “Omg I love these! But do I really need them”

Week 2: “Let me add them to my Shopping bag”

Week 3: “Crap they are sold out! I wish I bought them. Let me get on Pinterest and see how good they look on all these Street Stylers.”

Week 4: “Man I’ll never find the shoes I love ever again”

Week 5: “They are back in stock! Thank you that one person who returned them (I doubt your taste, but thanks!)” In my shopping back and Checked out.

SO for the rest of you, I am going to compile a sweet list of brocade shoes that currently exist in my shopping bag and I could not buy because I’ve already clicked checkout on my one beloved pair.

Shoes: Sam Edelman (Net-A-Porter, You can fine them on ShopBop)

Top: Zara

Necklace: Shinhwa (Norstrom)

For those looking for variations:

Saint Laurent Babies Brocade Ankle Boots (Net-A-Porter)

Sam Edelman Taye Floral-Brocade Ankle Boots

Jeffery Campbell Stratford Booties (Revolve)

Asso Emilia Jacquard Akle Boots (Asos)

Changing it up.

There is a trend in town and it is changing things up. With all the old trends from your closet coming back in why not bring along those past ‘It’ bags out as well. “Strap sold severalty” is the new trend we are nodding our heads on in agreement. So pull those old bags out and change up those straps, embellished and braided being more on trend. While some of the brands did not go with the whole idea of interchangeable, they surely amped up their strap game and are definitely worth a notice.

Alexander McQueen Resort 2017

“Both Sixties silhouettes and the romance of rural England, with its miles of wildflowers and brightly painted gypsy caravans, played a big role in Sarah Burton’r richly rendered collection.”

Samanta Conti for WWD

The mixtures of carnations, yellow roses, peonies, and poppies, each petal expertly defined with an artist’s paintbrush, were inspired, she said, by British folk art and domestic interiors: “Wallpaper, patterns you see on canal barges.”

Sara Mower for Vogue.com

Hand-painted peonies, poppies and petals on leather, ruffles, expertly knitted dresses, tweedy jackets and intricate, embroidered gowns with sheer underlays are just some hallmarks of Burton’s Resort 2017 collection for Alexander McQueen.
