Suits to Suit You

Posted on: May 20th, 2013 by Leah No Comments

For most women, the start of swimsuit season elicits all sorts of anxiety and dread about how we feel about ourselves in our swimsuits. If you ask a women whether they’re ready for swimsuit season, their responses will likely sound something like: I don’t like how my (fill in the blank) looks in a swimsuit; I’m really pale right now; or I haven’t gotten a pedicure or wax in awhile. We have all sorts of reasons why we aren’t quite ready for the season to begin.

Quality vs. Quantity: The Fashion Battle

Posted on: May 7th, 2013 by Leah No Comments

Most people shy away from designer clothing and accessories because of the price tags typically associated with them. However, buying quality over quantity can pay off in the long run especially if you’re buying classic pieces that fit you well. There is nothing worse than buying something you love only to have it fall apart after a few washes. I can think of several outfits I bought for special occasions: best friend’s wedding, anniversaries, vacations, etc. that I no longer own because they just didn’t last. What I’d give to still have them to be able to wear and reminiscent of the wonderful memories created while wearing them.

If you add up what you typically spend on clothing and accessories throughout the year, you’ll likely be amazed at how much of that clothing gets tossed or donated at the end of a season. Clothing made today is often not made well and therefore, doesn’t withstand the wear and tear of our everyday lives. Consequently, more is not better.

Designer clothing is in a class of its own. The quality of workmanship, fabric, and fit will ensure that the designer item will stay in your closet for years to come. Blue boutique located in Key West at 718 Caroline Street and in Islamorada at 82229 Overseas Highway has an island-style vibe that keeps with the Keys laid back way while offering contemporary and designer fashions for both men and women. This expertly curated boutique offers a unique mix of designer and non designer clothing in a varied price point that allows consumers in all price ranges to find that next great piece to add to their wardrobe.

Some of Blue’s featured designers include: Nicole Miller, DVF, Vince, Michael Stars and Ella Moss.

Conch Style: Hats off to Hats!

Posted on: April 19th, 2013 by Leah No Comments

Since the Middle Ages, hats have held a variety of purposes throughout our culture. They have been worn for religious reasons, protection against the elements, safety, as fashion accessories and also to denote social status.

In Florida, the majority of the hats we see are used for sun protection. They range from baseball hats and visors to dramatically large beach hats made for lounging poolside. Fishing hats, which include those dreadfully efficient flaps that can connect to cover your neck, ears and face are also popular in the Keys. These fishing hats are like the fanny pack, useful, but not a fashion statement you’d want to make in public once off your back country boat.

The hats made by Key West artist, Judi Bradford, are in a class all their own. These one-of-a-kind creations range from $50-$185 and are reminiscent of the fascinator-styles more popular in the United Kingdom and famously worn for the Royal Wedding a few years ago.

In fashion, hats can inspire an entire outfit, influencing the color scheme worn as well as the way you wear your hair. These beautiful pieces created by Bradford are referred to as fascinators, due to their charming size and intricate use of rich textiles, curious buttons, distinctive ribbons and luxurious feathers. The feathers used are predominantly from Key West urban roosters. They are gathered locally, gently washed, air dried, trimmed, and curled. She sells her hats at parties, trunk show events and sometimes right off the top of her head when she’s out and about. You can view her creations on her website at: www.judibradford.com and at her studio at the Studios of Key West at 600 White Street.

This summer, Judi will be traveling to New York for the prestigious and competitive American Craft Festival at Lincoln Center and to England to study with three British milliners: Bailey Tomlin, Judy Bentinck and Bobbi Heath. Their couture hats have been featured in Vogue Magazine and are worn to the Europe’s most famous horse races. In the fall she’ll be creating a new series of hats from all she learns while abroad.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to wear a beautiful hat like Judi Bradford’s, get your friends together for a viewing party of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 4. Enjoy the best two minutes in sports while wearing fabulous hats and sipping the infamous mint julep. For those in the Upper Keys, I’ll be hosting a Kentucky Derby party at the Green Turtle Inn in Islamorada starting at 4 p.m. This event is open to the public and will include a discounted themed menu, specialty drinks and prizes for the best dressed and most fabulous hat!

Conch Style: Fashion is Art at Miami Fashion Week

Posted on: April 4th, 2013 by Leah No Comments

A few weeks ago, I attended a four day runway-style fashion show during Miami Fashion Week. The event included the latest collections from over 60 designers from 25 countries and celebrity sightings including the Real Housewives of Miami. The catwalk was bombarded with the Fall 2013 collections including bridal, evening wear, day wear, swimwear and children’s collections.

Miami International Fashion Week

If you’ve ever been to a couture hi-end fashion show or seen photos from one, you know that fashion shows are more about art then style. They’re meant to elicit a reaction or emotion. From the way the model’s hair is worn to her makeup and even her shoes, it’s all part of the show and not typically something you’d ever wear in that same way in real life.

Each of the shows also has a different walk, different music, and different lights. Some is dark and mysterious, while others are light and happy.

One of my favorite shows was that by Kayce Armstrong of Art of Shade. She uses utilitarian fabrics such as old tarps and sails to create edgy couture fashion. In fashion shows, models are known for their strut, but in this show, that strut was cast aside and instead they came out in flat shoes and added a bounce in their step to a syncopated sort of rhythm identical to one another and perfectly in step with the music. It was absolutely mesmerizing to watch and was really more of a dance than a walk, meant to highlight the movement in her designs.

In another show by Lisu Vega all the models were made to look bald and some had their entire head painted black. This was likely meant to make it all about the designs but in this case, I found the opposite actually occurred. The statement the designer made with the models hair and makeup took away from her beautiful collection and made it hard to really see the clothes. Is this art? Fashion? Will this ever be a trend? Probably not, but it elicited a reaction. And it was memorable. And maybe this is what the designer was going for.

My favorite Fall 2013 collection was from Nicolas Felizola. His evening wear featured gowns in yellow, orange, black and white patterns, and metallics, proof that vibrant hues and head-to-toe black and white will continue to be trendy this fall. The uniqueness of his designs was evidenced in the distinct necklines and intricate details of lace, beads and brocades. My personal favorite was a dramatic navy lace design over a nude sheath that was a complete showstopper.

In the movie, Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep plays a couture fashion editor for a high-end fashion magazine that would have rivaled the likes of Vogue. During an infamous scene, her assistant, played by Anne Hathaway, is watching the editor and a designer decide between two belts that look identical. Meryl Streep stops when she sees her assistant laughing and says: “Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select… I don’t know… that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you’re trying to tell the world that you don’t take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise. It’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean. And you’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent…who showed cerulean military jackets … And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff. ”

Couture fashion is art and inspires collections, colors and trends for years to come. Collections people like you and I, will eventually pick up on a rack at our favorite boutique.

In fashion, be true to yourself. Wear what makes you feel good about you. Just because it’s trendy doesn’t mean it’s right for you. However, don’t be afraid to express yourself.

Creativity Cultivated in Miami Beach

Posted on: April 3rd, 2013 by Leah No Comments

At times, the Florida Keys can feel so far away from the rest of the world. Our quiet island-life is full of art and culture with an island-vibe we locals love. But sometimes getting off the rock can be a great way to cultivate your creativity and find inspiration in new things.

There was an amazing selection of Miami based designers including, Nicolas Felizola, Julian Chang and Viviana G, who were awarded the Miami Fashion ICON Award during the show and amazingly, all three are tied to Miami, either as residents or shop owners. The catwalk was bombarded with the Fall 2013 collections including bridal, evening wear, day wear, swimwear and children’s collections. Nicolas Felizola’s Fall collection featured evening gowns in yellow, orange, black and white patterns, and metallics, proof that vibrant hues and head-to-toe black and white will continue to be trendy this fall. The uniqueness of his designs were evidenced in the distinct necklines and intricate details of lace, beads and brocades. My personal favorite was a dramatic navy lace design over a nude sheath that was a complete showstopper.

Attending Miami Fashion Week made me rethink my take on Miami Beach. I’ve always enjoyed the city but realized I take advantage of this style Mecca way too seldom considering its vicinity to the Florida Keys. Here are a few reasons you should visit the stylish Miami Beach:

Fashion: Although you’ve missed Fashion Week (mark your calendar for March 2014), this summer, Miami Beach will host two of the fashion calendars’ highly anticipated fashion shows —the massive SwimShow, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim and FUNKSHION: Fashion Week Miami Beach. During these events you’ll view awe-inspiring fashion shows and attend stylish events, reason enough for any fashionista to flock to Miami Beach.

Shopping: Miami Beach packs a vast selection of world renowned shops into a mere 18.7 sunny square miles, making it the ideal destination for shopping. There are three main outdoor shopping areas in Miami Beach: Lincoln Road, Espanola Way and Ocean Drive/Collins Avenue. Lincoln Road offers a trendy mix of boutiques including the brand new H+M, plus art galleries and great outdoor eateries for people watching. Just a few blocks away is “Miami’s Best Block”, Espanola Way filled with European-style, pedestrian-friendly streets where you will find unique clothing and handmade jewelry not found in chain stores. Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue in Miami Beach offers stores ranging from Banana Republic to Versace. My favorite: Zara, (located at 590 Collins Ave.) is packed with innovative Spanish designs that are on-trend while still affordable.

Cultural Events: In 2013, Miami Beach will host several cultural events you won’t want to miss.
•   April 17-21 is the South Beach Comedy Festival where you can see the world’s favorite entertainers and top comedic talent from across the country.
•   April 26-28 is the Girlfriend’s Getaway Weekend for sipping, shopping, and spa-ing. Hosted by Ocean Drive Magazine and the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, this event is the perfect weekend getaway for indulging with your girlfriends.
•   April 24-28 is the Miami Beach Polo World Cup. Watch men riding horses on the beach and have the opportunity to get dressed up in a preppy spring look. The international polo tournament features teams from around the world and kicks off with South Beach Women’s Polo Cup V Women’s Welcome and Cocktail Hour at the James Royal Palm.
Other upcoming events in 2013 include the American Black Film Festival, the GLBT Film Festival, White Party, Winter Party and Art Basel among many others.

The next time you take a staycation or just want to get away for a night, consider the International style hub that is Miami Beach.

Conch Style: Spring Trends

Posted on: March 22nd, 2013 by Leah No Comments

Trying out a new trend can always be a bit daunting. Think about how you felt the first time you tried on a pair of skinny jeans after years of wearing wide leg or boot cut jeans. But this year’s spring trends are something to get excited about. They’re bright and bold in an everything -goes-kind-of-way and perfect for Florida Keys living.

When trying to figure out how to work a trend into your wardrobe, it’s always best to start small and to make sure you will wear it into future seasons. Take a look at the list of trends below and then look for a few accessories and maybe one wardrobe staple such as a shirt, dress or slacks in a classic silhouette that fits you well drawing on these new spring trends.

Emerald: Each year Pantone declares a color of the year and this year’s color is the elegant and lush emerald green. Looking through spring look books, you’ll find slacks, skirts, blouses and dresses in this radiant hue. Paired with denim you may run the risk of looking like your just left a St. Patrick’s day soiree but an emerald dress paired with nude heels or metallic’s will look incredibly glamorous. Additionally, try pairing it with other lively colors such as cobalt blue or yellow or wear it with a pattern such as black and white stripes or polka dots.

Florals: This season flowers are bright and playful and found in many head-to-toe looks. If like me the idea of wearing florals reminds you of your grandmothers couch, try it in small doses such as a floral patterned clutch or scarf. When going for a bolder look, balance a floral dress with classic accessories such as pearls or a black heels.

Bright colors: Neon is still in and brighter than ever. This season you will see neon in bright pinks, greens and oranges. Tone a bright piece down by pairing it with navy, denim or white and classic accessories. Focus on accent pieces like a bright structured jacket will make any outfit more polished and totally on trend.

Black and White: When thinking of Spring, most think of pastels and bright happy hues but this season, designers put the emphasis on head-to-toe Black and white looks. Resist the urge to add in a bright accessory to a black and white look and instead wear a bright lip color with an all black and white look. This spring trend is also incredibly wearable for both day and night and very affordable for every budget.

Islamorada Mercantile located at 81904 Overseas Highway offers a great selection of on trend and affordable clothing and accessories for men and women. I also love their selection of house wares and handmade driftwood clocks made by the owner. Find easy to wear dresses and wardrobe staples in bright hues and patterns perfect for trying out this spring’s trends. Try a bright scarf for spring for just $26 or a graphic black and white print dress worn with head-to-toe black and white.

Conch Style: What to pack on your Spring Break Trip

Posted on: March 8th, 2013 by Leah No Comments

There is nothing worse than getting to your destination only to realize you forgot half of what you needed or hate what you packed. The best way to ensure this doesn’t happen is to plan ahead and to make a list of everything you’ll need.

Travel light. Over packing is just a sign of not having a good plan. Lay out your suitcase a week or two in advance and as you come across things you may want to bring, put them in your suitcase. This will help you start the packing process. A few days in advance repack your entire suitcase. It will give you time to wash anything you might need.

Make a list. Map out the number of days you’ll be on your vacation and any key activities you’ve got planned that will require special attire. Then write down your outfits by day.

Pack clothing that is versatile and can be mixed and matched or worn multiple times. A pair of shorts could be dressed up with wedges and a sparkly top for night and worn with a nautical striped top and sandals for day. A jersey dress could be worn out one night and then could be used as a cover up over a swim suit at a later point in your vacation. Most hotels have laundry service of some type so if you desperately needed something cleaned, you could do so at your hotel for a relatively small fee.

Wear your bulkiest items on the plane to save space in your luggage. If you’re traveling to a cooler destination, wear your boots and bulky sweater on the plane. Then consider packing clothing that can be layered for warmth as this will give you more room in your suitcase. Airports and planes are generally cool so even if you’re going to a warm destination, wear a light-weight sweater while traveling that can also be worn on cooler evenings.

Limit the number of shoes. Shoes take up a lot of room in your luggage so pack shoes that you can wear with multiple outfits. For a beach vacation you will likely need one pair of heels, one pair of wedges, a pair of sandals and tennis shoes. Use the valuable space inside of your tennis shoes to store your socks and workout clothes. This will make it easier to find your workout gear when you’re unpacking.

Reserve space for new purchases. I love buying new things when visiting new cities, so try to leave a little extra space in your luggage for new purchases while traveling.

Stylish essentials for a beach vacation:

Kindle or good book, big sunglasses and a beach hat
A foldable tote doubles as a carry-on and a beach bag
Scarves can be used to add color to your outfit and can also be worn as a sarong at the pool
Sun block, Advil, Bug Spray
Camera and phone chargers
Empty water bottle and lip balm – planes are known for being dry so stay hydrated and keep your lip balm handy
Lots of statement necklaces – they don’t take up a lot of space and will instantly give your outfits some oomph!
