Whenever I hear of one of Tory Burch’s Interior Design projects I know it’s going to be quite spectacular since her frequent collaborator is the uber-talented Architect and Interior Designer Daniel Romualdez. Tory Burch’s Manhattan office is as chic as it can be and it’s proof that office design can be personal and cozy while elegant as well. Tory’s office was designed with feng shui disciplines to bring harmony and positive flow to the workspace. “I work with a feng shui master,” Burch told AD.
Winter has officially started as of December 21st. Not that it didn’t feel like it before, we’ve had our good measure of cold days, and even snow by now, but, yes the colder days are ahead of us. For those unbearable cold days, thank God for puffer coats. My husband is obsessed with them, my son is as well and I’m at last wishing for one. For the days that don’t call for tailored coats, there is the puffer coat. Either for heading to the slopes or for staying local, often all we want is the simple act of feeling warm and comfortable and a puffer jacket provides just that.
This puffer jacket is even cooler in denim. Alexander Wang.
It’s time to take a break from our daily duties and redirect our attention to our most beloved ones. I hope you get to spend this special time of the year surrounded by whoever your heart wants. If you haven’t seen this year’s Bergdorf Goodman impressive windows, then take a seat and enjoy it here. Luckily, we don’t need to take a plane to New York City to enjoy them.
Happy Holidays!
“The Bergdorf Goodman holiday windows continue their tradition of fantastical storytelling with a celebration of all things sweet! The 2018 windows, entitled “Bergdorf Goodies” captures an array of holiday treats from peppermint candy canes and gingerbread houses to antique chocolates and neon confections.”
Boots are without a doubt one of the most stylish accessories during winter fashion. Over-the-knee boots are easy to wear and go with almost every outfit imaginable. Pair them with the already staple skinny jeans or leggings, style them with a pencil skirt, or even with a dressy dress to attend one of those holiday parties this season. Whichever way you want to wear your -over-the-knee boots, here are 10 different ways to inspire you.
1. With An Over-Sized Sweater and Skinny Jeans
Flat over-the-knee boots with an oversized sweater and skinny jeans is a casual but chic look that anyone can pull off, especially students.
This year I’ve seen a lot of sequin clothes more than ever, from dresses to tops and skirts. Sequin dresses are ideal for Christmas parties and festive occasions due to its jovial glimmery look. If the thought of a dress is too much for you, a sequin top with a plain fabric pair of pants or skirt will do just fine. A sequin skirt paired with a plain top will also look great. The best part of wearing a glimmery dress is that it requires little effort on the styling side. High heels, simple jewelry is all you’ll need.
What’s not to love about a sequined silk gown that comes with a bow, maybe the price tag… I know. But the dress is so beautiful that it would be an investment for those who can afford it.
Many people prefer to spend Christmas while skiing up in the mountains. This year I’m determined to improve my skiing abilities by taking together with my son, local classes at a nearby ski facility. I imagine it would be a good idea to actually be able to ski before I decide to plan a trip to Aspen. The ski gear, however, needs no preparation or training, these are winter clothes that can be used on and off the slopes.
As chic as these ski-ready gear are, they are also great to keep you warm while walking around town, while having hot drinks at a local cafe or just enjoying the crisp sun outside. I could use the oversized fair isle cardigan, below combined with skinny pants any day of the weekend. These Montelliana hiker boots (further below) are just as chic as they are practical. This other pair of leather and shearling boots are also great looking. A stylish turtleneck fair sweater is a must for those chilly winds while skiing. A varsity sweater like this one is a classic sport winter sweater and a waterproof insulated down parka will of course keep you warm.
