This fall, there’s one wardrobe staple that can be spotted everywhere from the runway to work meetings to brunch: the blazer.
Ann Taylor combines their classic, tailored aesthetic with an on-trend effortless vibe in the brand’s new blazer styles – ranging from cropped to relaxed and tweed to jacquard. Pair each topper with trendy tie sleeves, ankle pants, or chic dresses to add a polished touch to any look that transitions effortlessly from A.M. to P.M to weekend.
The collection featured unique designs; mixing high fashion with a touch of architecture. Due to its simplistic sophistication, Carelle jewelry can be worn daily and not just for special occasions.
Several of the pieces were made from precious gemstones and metals. The Carelle Fine Jewelry Trunk Show displayed structured and stackable accessories that are created for the modern woman.
The 2018 Atelier Pronovias bridal runway show, which took place today in New York City. Notable front row guests included Actress Katie Cassidy,Bloggers Mary Sengand Jessi Malay,and TV Host Andy Adler.
The new Atelier Pronovias 2018 Collection is defined by the concept of a WISH. Taking inspiration from dreams and desires, with water as the main element, this collection highlights the magical movement of waves, the fluidity of currents and the sparkle of water droplets in exquisite models designed to enhance the bride’s femininity.
The new looks are a fresh take on volume, a highlight in this collection, with innovative designs that lighten up patterns and reinvent silhouettes such as the flared line, designed to emphasize the bride’s curves and bring more movement and fluidity to the skirt. The envelope was pushed this season to give brides endless possibilities to play up their figures. Pronounced side cleavage, with elegant sheer effects, brings those attractive feminine curves to the forefront.
Thread embroidery, the star of this collection, is a testament to the atelier’s firm commitment to a thoughtful combination of materials and fabrics. Silk gauze, organza and Mikado add volume, while crepe and soft satin outline the bride’s figure, which is set off by the French lace that is a hallmark of the atelier’s dresses.
This year’s brides will sparkle more than ever with white gemstone embroidery that gives the collection a very sophisticated touch. Sensational jeweled dresses add a special glimmer to the designs and are combined with sleeve and neckline appliqués, creating a magical effect reminiscent of falling water, another distinguishing feature this season.
And convertible dresses give brides countless ways to shine on their big day. These transformable designs are complemented by layers, trains, overskirts and detachable boleros, allowing brides to show off different styles as the celebration progresses.
The new Atelier Pronovias 2018 Collection dazzles at every turn, making it –once again– the essence of good taste and quality.

About Pronovias
Pronovias was born as a family business over 50 years ago. The brand began operating under the name ‘El Suizo’, a prestigious Barcelona store in 1922 that specialized in lace, embroidery, and high-quality silk fabrics. The company presented its first collection of prêt-a-porter wedding gowns in Spain in 1964 – and Pronovias was born.
For over five decades, Alberto Palatchi Ribera has managed the group and its expansion process, conveying a philosophy of quality and design that typifies its work. In July 2017, the group BC Partners became one of the stockholders with the purpose of promoting the brand’s international growth.
Pronovias is currently present in more than 105 countries with 155 shops and over 4,000 points of sale. The firm’s goal is to continue to grow and open shops, both in the countries where it is already present and in new markets. On an international level, Pronovias recently opened flagship stores in cities such as Paris, Mexico City, Rome, Brussels and Berlin. Today, Pronovias Fashion Group is a global leader in bridal fashion that is present around the world.

I’m always excited to shop at the change of every season. There’s something about new merchandise that builds anticipation of months ahead.
One fashion tip that helps me build a solid seasonal wardrobe is purchasing items according to a distinct color palette.
This is significant because it eliminates the issue of having nothing to wear or a closet filled with various items? For example, burgundy toned leggings can coordinate with a burgundy striped plaid shirt. Or black sweaters coordinate with houndstooth slacks.
The same applies in terms of outerwear as well. I generally stick to neutral tone jackets or something that matches items in my wardrobe. Rarely will you find me buying a neon pink coat due to the lack of neon items in my fall/winter wardrobe.
Certain colors also set the tone for the season. Pastels look nice in the spring/summer while a beautiful array of warmer shades in the colder season.
Last week I attended the Konstantino Jewelry Trunk Show at Saks Fifth Avenue. The designer featured handcrafted pieces from Greece.
Each unique design showcased silver or gold metals along with luxury gems. The collection representative explained how specific pieces were created and allowed me to view the items up close.
As a style expert, the Konstantino Jewelry Collection can be paired with on-trend fashion items or classic styles and designs.
Summer has ended and the kids have headed back to school. That means it’s time to re-evaluate the household budget.
One way to increase savings is by reducing the amount of dry cleaning services. Many people are not aware that dry cleaning can be harsh, timely and expensive.
There’s a solution to this household concern. Dryelis an at-home solution that’s easy to use and convenient. This product can be picked up during your local Target run or online from Amazonfor an reasonable price.
There’s several advantages to using Dryel instead of laundry services:
Dryel reduces fading, shrinking, and stretching.
Dryel ingredients do not contain harsh chemicals.
Dryel does not require the use of expensive machines.
After a day of consignment shopping, Dryel was an easy option that removed dirt and debris from my new items. They were placed on a hanger after 15 minutes with the use of Dryel products.

BILLY, founded in 2017, is luxury ready-to-wear designed by Holly Jovenall and handcrafted in Los Angeles, California. The brand is rooted in personal narrative and deep craft.
BILLY’s comfortable basics are multi-directional and can be elevated or slouched in. Attention to silhouette brings a casual-elegance, enhanced by hand distressed and hand screened details. Paying homage to visionaries like Yohji Yamamoto and Rick Owens, Jovenall’s designs are foundational but subversive in their proportions and bend simplicity into something entirely new. BILLY favors black-and-white, with colors sourced from the best tones of weathered vintage fabric.
