One word that’s currently in the air everywhere is “selfie”. If people aren’t saying it, they’re doing it.
The dictionary meaning is: a self-portrait taken on a smartphone and, as Simon Kuper writes in his column in the Financial Times of 12/20/14, it is now penetrating languages worldwide.
Travel expert and TV personality, Julie Loffredi, wears our long sleeve scoop neck layering top in RedRose with a beautiful statement necklace in a recent segment on Fox News.
Last week I posted about my upcoming weekend getaway to Cuba. It’s actually a five-day getaway and I intend to soak up the warm sunshine every single day! What a welcome break from the snow and cold in the Northeast.
Personally, I don’t know anyone who has been to Cuba, so packing for this trip has proven quite the challenge. Should I pack nice sundresses or are shorts and tees more appropriate? Are high heels the best nighttime option or will I look out of place?
We all see clothing mistakes on the street, in our local stores or even in our own offices. And we think to ourselves, “did she get dressed in the dark this morning?” Of course, most of us are too polite to say anything, but that doesn’t stop us from having an unspoken opinion. Let’s take a look at some of the no-no fashions that we’ve seen recently.
Immediately after New Year's Day I start searching for the first hints of spring. Warm, sunny days are still a long way off and patience is not my strong suit. So, to ward off the winter doldrums, I try to plan a trip in February to keep my spirits up. This year’s adventure falls over Presidents' Day Weekend: a five-day trip to Cuba!

 Why not shake things up a bit in 2015? Go places and do things that you’ve never done before. Look at life from a different vantage point.
To begin, let’s compare two different spots in New York, namely: the Metropolitan Museum versus Chelsea’s art galleries. (You can use the same approach where you live. Pick two spots that are the same – but different.)
For this second part of the series on Rocking Leggings, I wanted to offer some styling tips. In case you missed Part One, you can find the post here:Â Tips on Rocking Leggings: Part One, where I offer advice on what you should look for when finding your ideal pair of leggings.
The beauty of leggings is truly their versatility. They are that one staple that can help make us feel chic, even when we are under the weather or not in the mood for a pair of jeans or trousers.
The catch to Rocking Leggings, though, is to making something that seems so basic look stylish. Here are some styling tips on what you can pair your leggings with to help you rock your next legging look:
Do films still have an influence on the world of fashion? “I don’t think there’s a connection any longer,” says Simon Doonan. I totally agree. Today, style trends in movies have been replaced by TV shows such as Scandal or Sex in the City where Carrie Bradshaw sparked a run on Manolo Blahnik stilettos.
However, there is still a fascination with what we see on the big screen. Taking an example from each decade, here is a brief list of memorable fashions in film.
From sourcing fabrics to testing out new styles, there's never a boring moment at Adea. One of the most exciting parts of the job, in my opinion, is scouting locations for our photo shoots. For us, in particular, it can be challenging to find a backdrop that won't drown out our basics. Ornate furniture, harsh surroundings or lots of bright color can detract from the minimalistic look and feel of Adea's bodywear. We require just the right amount of background texture and architectural interest to compliment the simplicity of our products. Not too much, yet not too little.Â
A fashion designer is a creative entrepreneur with a powerful will and vision that can ultimately result in dazzling success. But what happens when this talented individual is gone? If no successor has been named the search for a replacement can be a harrowing ordeal.

Leggings can be the most comfortable item of clothing you own, so the only point of contention for many is how to look stylish when wearing them.
Inspired by the launch of Adea’s new Perfect Jersey Knit Leggings, I wanted to share some tips on Legging Styling, which will be a two-part series and will begin with the basics of what to look for in a pair of leggings.

What hits your eye as soon as you enter Manhattan’s Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle? For me, it’s the enormous bronze sculptures of Adam and Eve by famed South American artist, Fernando Botero.
As one gazes at the voluptuous form of Eve, in all her glory, does one think, “There’s a plus-size!” No! One simply accepts that this is – yet another – exciting and acceptable version of the female form. So why can’t we do this in real life?
