The Belt Bag

February 26, 2018

This past New York Fashion Week, I had a great time photographing some of the street style that was happening in and around the fashion shows. What I enjoyed most about this experience is finding new trends and seeing current ones come to life. Also, it's great when people's personal style can come to life - when they style pieces in new ways.

Cue the fanny pack. Scratch that. I mean the "Belt Bag".

The belt bag was all over fashion week. There were multiple instances of designer belt bags, with Gucci seeming to lead the way. Some women wore these traditionally, while there was another that wore it as a crossbody. Which way would you choose to wear it?

My fascination with the resurgence of this trend didn't stop there.

During a recent walkthrough of Saks Fifth Avenue, I was strolling through the multi-level store when I stumbled upon a mannequin. She was donning the now infamous belt bag! It was styled, once again, differently than I had seen before - with activewear. On the streets during NYFW, I was seeing the belt bag dressed up to slightly more casual. Now, I saw it styled in a whole new way - with activewear.

The point of this belt bag post?

First of all, it's true - fashion does recycle its trends. Although, one could argue the fanny pack wasn't necessarily a trend.

Secondly, this is another trend that can be geared to your own personal style and worn to fit your needs.

Lastly, proof that fashion should be fun. A fanny pack coming back in style, just rebranded as a belt bag? Love it.

Happy styling!

P.S. Why not pair your belt bag with an Adea Modal Tee and a blazer. Make it your own.

Do You Believe in Luck?

July 08, 2020

Let me begin by saying that I’m a big believer in “luck.” But then, I’d like to add a caveat: a lot of effort can often lead to good luck. In fact, I think they are intertwined. A person cannot stay in bed, pull the covers over one’s head and hope for a lucky break. Nope, won’t work – you need action and drive to have good luck.

Fashion’s Donatella is Soaring High

July 02, 2020

I can’t recall ever seeing an interview with Donatella Versace in one of the many fashion magazines that I currently subscribe to and read closely. We all know who she is but I believe she keeps the ins-and-outs of her personal life to herself.

The Dreaded Tuition Debt

Over the years, I’ve become very mindful of the stress that is felt with student loan debts – between reading about it and listening to grads talk about the size of their financial burdens. It seems to be constantly on their minds.

BODYWEAR

We use Italian lingerie sizing for our bodywear and items tend to run small.

Because of the body-hugging nature of the fabric and our body conscious fit most women prefer to wear our layering tops as under-layers. If you are inclined to wear them on their own we suggest you size up. Please email us or give us a call if you have questions about your sizing. We're happy to help you get it right.
