Here are some photos from our recent trip to Hong Kong.  They had amazing window displays at the DFS Galleria.  If you are not familiar with the art of visual merchandising and display, it’s a serious art form, and most luxury department stores all over the world collaborate with talented artists to create stunning windows.  Most famous are the Holiday season windows in New York, but year-round, they are still always trying to create the best visuals to represent the high-end brands.

Seeing Double: The Rag & Bone floral leather varsity jacket

I fell in love with Rag and Bone’s Spring 2013 version of the varsity letterman jacket where they masterfully combined a cool floral print with their gorgeous black leather.  Recently, Nasty Gal created a watered down version for much less.

Designer Sneakers: Giuseppe Zanotti

ZanottiSneakers

With the wedge sneaker trend in full force, and a sea of Isabel Marant and Ash knock-offs arising, Giuseppe Zanotti has created a cool chic design of his own.  The seams, contrasts, and details make these designer sneakers a must have.  If wedge sneakers aren’t your thing, they have regular flat sneaker versions, too.  You can find them in a variety of amazing colors, with crystal rhinestones, studs, fringes, and zippers.  There’s a style to fit any taste.  It’s clean, chic, and will look amazing with your cut-off shorts, or even cute summer dresses.  Time to splurge.

Musician Inspired Outfit: Damon Albarn Appreciation

Heard Blur was amazing at Coachella.  I wouldn’t really expect anything less than that.  And remember when Gorillaz played the festival a few years ago?  Here’s a Damon Albarn appreciation outfit.  We love your music.

Buy now: The Bold Cuff Bracelet

If you are over the stacked multiple bracelet trend, or just want something fresher, go for the bold cuff bracelet.  Not only is it trending right now, but it’s also actually a very classic piece of jewelry to add to your collection.  It goes with almost any outfit and adds instant cool to your look.  It’s great for flowy cocktail dresses.  And I’d personally wear them this Spring and Summer with just jeans and a t-shirt.  You can’t really wear them in the winter because you are usually wearing long sleeves, it will get in the way, unless you are wearing a light weight long sleeve, you can wear it on top.  But, if you’re wearing short sleeves or sleeveless styles, the bold cuff will be perfect to rock in style, and show off your pretty arms.

Music Festival Fashion Queen: Alessandra Ambrosio

White-boho-chic.  Pair little crochet shorts with a flowy top and some fringe.  Mix whites and ivorys with brown boots and belts.

The cut of the high-waisted shorts don’t look too dated.  And the faded neon coral pink shade keeps it young and modern.  Pair with a light knit crop top.  Add tons of colorful bracelets.  The scarf is perfection.  The mirrored Ray-Ban aviators are on trend.

A smocked waist print chiffon skirt is flirty and comfortable.  Pair with classics like denim and a cargo jacket.

Move over Kate Bosworth, looks like we have a new music festival fashion queen.  Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio always had really cute outfits during the past Coachella festivals she’s attended, and her off-duty look is always on trend and chic.  This year at Coachella, all three outfits were majorly amazing and perfect.  She looks trendy, but not overly, totally boho, but not sloppy, and so comfortable while looking like the quintessential hot festival attendee.  All three looks are perfect for warmer days coming up.  Try it on just for a fun weekend look, or a spring lunch date.
