It’s All About the Details

Michelle Martin — Tue, 19 May 2015 09:00:56 +0000

For me, it’s all about the details. Fashion doesn’t need to be complex. It’s the little efforts that you put into your outfit to really complete the look and make it your own. Trends come and go as quick as the actual model walking the catwalk. You never really know what’s ok to splurge on and what to pass up. That’s why I find accessories, from the shoes, to the jewelry- to the bag, always the most important details that will keep you on trend. And the details within your accessories, shoes, jewelry pieces, and of course bags will help you achieve your desired look with in the trends. I fell in love with this salmon colored blazer at Zara last week and thought it was the perfect piece to build a Spring trend around. If you ask my husband, he might disagree with this purchase as my closet is filled with a rainbow of blazers, however I did not have this color! A blazer is just way too effortless in my life not to have. It’s an easy go to and can be your statement piece with out any thought. That’s when the accessories come in to play to complete the finishing details… Earrings: Henri Bendel; Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff (Similar […]

Sarah Phillips — Fri, 17 Apr 2015 08:00:26 +0000

As 52 Thursdays evolves, we keep taking your ideas and suggestions and we strive to give you all compelling, interesting and useful content. When one of our lovely readers wrote to us suggesting that they would love to see more designer spotlights, we got to thinking and soon enough a new series was born from that reader’s email. We are excited to finally introduce this new series to you all that we have been working extremely hard on for the past few months, called 52 Interesting People. This new series will consist of 52 interviews with the most influential people in the fashion, food, beauty and fitness industries and we will be sharing all of them with you. It was only fitting to kick off our new series with world renowned jewelry designer, Alexis Bittar, since his DC store just opened its doors last week. Sarah had the pleasure to meet Alexis at the DC opening and he was just as charming as the beautiful jewels he creates. See his interview below: You certainly have come a long way since selling your jewelry on the streets of New York, now your jewelry is sold in the most exclusive stores in the […]

52 Shades of Grey

Michelle Martin — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:46:21 +0000

1. Sergio Rossi Godiva/ 2. Vince Basic Luxe/ 3. Karl Lagerfeld Scarf/ 4. Frame Denim (on major sale!)/ 5. Vita Fede Wrap/ 6. Vita Fede Titan/ 7. Balenciaga Chèvre Bag (amazing steal!) Whether or not you got hooked on the 50 Shades of Grey series, one thing we can all agree on is that the Glacier Grey color will be the trend for Spring 2015. We thought it would only be fitting to put together a 52 Thursdays of Grey inspirational board in honor of the 50 Shades of Grey premier on February 13th. Grey can be a relaxing and soothing color while exhibiting an uber luxurious and classic sense of style. The monochromatic look is another favorite of ours, so why not combine the two trends in to one chic, effortless look? We believe that every outfit should be built around one item. That one piece should inspire your entire look and that way every outfit will never be the same. We found this Balenciaga Chevre bag, gently used for only $600 (originally $2,125) on our favorite new online consignment boutique, Snobswap and absolutely fell in love with it. This piece will definitely be added to our wish-list, that is, unless you snag it first! So if you happen to […]

NYFW Spring Trend Report

admin — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:02:30 +0000

As NYFW virgins, you can only imagine our excitement to even have received invites to go to some of these shows! When you are a NYFW newbie, you do not receive seats next to Anna Wintour or Chiara Ferragni (sadly) so for most of the shows, we had standing tickets or seats towards the back of the tent which made for some terrible pictures. We learned an insider tip a few days in, which was to stand in “The Pit” with all of the professional photogs, we may have looked a bit out of place in our 6″ stilettos and giant designer bags but we captured some great shots from there on out! We know it may be hard to think about Spring Fashion when we have barely entered Fall but we have to report about what we saw on the runways and what you should expect for the season to come. This may come in handy when you are going through some of your spring/summer pieces and wondering what to get rid of and what to hold on to. This is also a great time to score some of these trends if you haven’t already, since they are on super sale at the moment! […]
