Let's Warm It Up!

Hi loves,

One of my favorite fashion accessories during wintertime are big, cozy, chunky, knit infinity scarves. They are the perfect accessory to keep you warm in this Arctic-like weather, and they are great for falling asleep in unusual places like the NYC subway. It makes the ride more pleasant and comfortable! Big infinity scarfs have plenty of fabric to play around with them, so you can tighten them up, loosen them up, or twist in multiple layers. I usually tuck my hair inside them, pulling some strands up for a more editorial look (Look below!). You can find the best ones at Urban Outfitters, such as the one I am wearing here.

Since these scarfs are so dramatic, I went with basic winter pieces: A black leather skirt and a plaid top. So, let yourself be wrapped around this shoots done by my beautiful friend Melissa Bernier in her Upper East Side residence building! I also put some additional pictures on other styles and where you can find them. Enjoy!

English Garden

Hi loves,

This week is double the fun, as I will do TWO blog posts. One for those stuck in this dreary winter weather, and another one for those like me, who get to go to more tropical climates to celebrate the holidays. But not too worry, because for those of you who have to endure the winter weather, I am doing a fashion spread that will keep you warm. For this photo shoot, I am modeling one of my favorite items in my closet-- my H&M wrap cardigan. Unfortunately, its no longer available but I have made sure to provide you with the information and links of where you can purchase similar options. This English Garden-inspired cardigan is multi-purpose, you can wear it a home, as a lounge piece, for work with a more formal bottom and top, and for a day or night of fun. You can also play with it, and tie in a knot at the bottom ends, or wear it loosely. Seriously, I have used it in all ways described, and always feel comfortable in it.

Cardigans are practical staples to have, whether they are solid or patterned... Not only do they keep you warm, but they are also pliable, and you can twist and turn them in which ever way you want to give your look a more polished or a more casual vibe.

So take a close look at this English Garden fest... and stay tuned for my next post this Saturday. I will let you into my luggage, and a give you a sneak peak at some of the pieces I will be taking to the tropical destination I am heading: Puerto Rico, my home :)

Mucho peace & love,
Diana
