Charlotte Le Bon Wears ALEX AND ANI Bracelet

Charlotte Le Bon wore ALEX AND ANI at the New York Screening of ‘The Promise’ at The Paris Theatre last night in New York City.

You can shop the exact style on www.alexandani.com.

 

#KeepThePromise

The bracelet was made in partnership with The Promise, a film set during the final years of the Ottoman Empire that is bringing light to the events that took place during the Armenian Genocide. A promise is a commitment to make something happen by any means. It is your word – bonding you to something greater than yourself. When a promise is upheld, it defines who you are within. This bracelet is a promise to the Armenian people, honoring a history of resilience and a culture that embodies the unstoppable power of the human spirit.

Alex and Ani’s Founder, Carolyn Rafaelian, is an American of Armenian descent, and this holds special meaning for her. Carolyn’s grandfather arrived in the United States in 1913, but his entire family was killed during this tragic time.

Please help us in spreading this message of commitment! 20% from each bracelet sold will benefit humanitarian efforts.

Noteworthy celebrities who have been seen wearing the bracelets include: Chris Cornell, Orlando Bloom, Nina Dobrev, and Christine Evangelista, among others. Kim Kardashian posted it on Snapchat prior to the Los Angeles screening.

Beach Style: Selecting The Perfect Cover-Up

Raise your hands if you’re excited about summer! A few more glorious weeks until vacation and we will have the chance to press the reset button. When it comes to beach style, it’s easy to get it wrong; not all sarongs can be worn on the sand and crochet sundresses can’t protect you from sunburn! It’s time for the cover-up to get a makeover because beachwear is about more than kaftans!

Denim Mini

While we know you love cut off shorts why not give them a well-deserved rest and show off your suntanned legs in a faded denim mini skirt. The mini skirt arrived in a blaze of glory (in the sixties) representing freedom and self-expression as thousands of young women discovered its sex appeal! These days, mini skirts come in various styles, shapes and colors. A faded denim mini is cute, comfy, and an easy way to infuse your outfit with a festival vibe. Think beach wave curls, minimal jewelry, flip flops, and a white tank top for a pretty, natural look.

Open Kimono

Kimonos has stormed the catwalk to become a much-loved fashion staple. A beautiful, silk kimono dresses up a pair of jeans, cold shoulder or lace tank top while being a fabulous alternative to a coat or jacket when the weather’s warm. Kimono’s also look gorgeous over a bikini and act as an instant cover up. They inject glamour into the most basic outfit. Thanks to their silk ties you can either wear them open (for sunbathing) or loosely tie them so you can see a hint of cleavage.

Statement Jumpsuit

If you only pack for one night, make sure it’s a silk or linen halter neck jumpsuit. Why? Even an upscale restaurant won’t say no to a trendy jumpsuit worn with strappy heels and diamond jewelry. Looking for glamorous inspiration? Grab a glossy magazine and see how the rich and famous do beach beauty. Looking to treat yourself to some right-hand bling before vacation? Head on over to www.diamondregistry.com to learn about diamonds and get a quote on your dream ring!

Jumpsuits are also a fantastic way to show off your sun-kissed skin and the perfect alternative instead of wearing a top, skirt or trousers. This www.missoni.com lilac jumpsuit is a stunning option and will look amazing with deep cork wedges.

White Button Down

Looking to hit the beach bar? A white button down will not only give you coverage but it’s still fashion-forward and classic. Make sure you pick one that comes past your thighs and not too flimsy for a chic dinner.

Victoria Beckham X Target Collection | Review

Target is known for providing its customers with affordable fashion.  The discount retailer has made collaborations with various clothing designers and the recent in-store collection was Victoria Beckham for Target.

Victoria Beckham is a sought after businesswoman and fashion designer.  She’s known for her sophisticated and minimalistic style.  What’s really interesting about Victoria is that she was introduced as a Spice Girl and can be seen with her kids carrying a Hermes handbag.

Victoria Beckham X Target Collection Review:

In true blogger fashion I wanted to view the collection for myself.  I must admit that Target is meticulous about placing their top-selling brands near the front of the store.  The retailer in my region displayed the One-Shoulder Dress, Mint Green Lace Bomber, and Collared Dress.  Every item was well categorized; placing the activity books and kids apparel near the designer collection.

From viewing the collection (in-store) each piece was well-made and used quality fabrics.  There were no deformities in terms of darts, zippers and stitching.  The patterns were perfect for the season with florals and scallops.

I have one suggestion that clothing pieces are created for petite sizing such as sleeves, hems, and pants length. Also, some of the items were above Target pricing. For example, the Bug Bomber Jacket was $70.00 and Cali Lily Top/Pants (purchased together) was $70.00 and above.

Special thank you to Victoria Beckham and Target for showcasing diverse models.  The collection also provided pieces in the plus size department.
