Pamella Roland sent her spring/summer 2016 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on September 11, 2015 at the Whitney Museum. It was the perfect, modern backdrop for her collection which fused modernistic touches with 1970s and 1960s influences.
I loved the ultra cool backdrop which featured a geometric, colorful light design at the close of the runway show. It captured the vibe of the collection and wrapped up the show; perfectly showcasing the collection. It was pure brilliance.
Pamella Roland’s inspiration seemed to be in line with other New York designers for spring 2016. The collection featured short, a-line hems which are reminiscent of the 1960s. The chokers and geometric lines were also in line with the overall look of the season. I am in love!

The Chloe Hudson is arguably fall 2015’s hottest IT bag. Over the past few seasons, Chloe has designed a series of fabulous handbags which have instantly shot up to cool status. In these handbags status as cool, many have been elevated to IT bag status; and for fall 2015, Chloe has done it again.
First we had the classic Chloe Marcie, then we had the chic Chloe Drew, then Chloe gave us the retro styled Chloe Faye in not one, but two amazing sizes, then, for fall 2015, Chloe has given us the Hudson. The Hudson is everything, everyone wants in a handbag for fall.
The Chloe Hudson has earned it’s current IT bag status by offering high fashion on a handbag which can be worn effortlessly, everyday. Chloe designed several versions of the Chloe Hudson, and will be reinventing the style every season. Love that!
The 1970s are huge decade of influence for the fall 2015 season, and the Chloe Hudson delivers on the trend. On my version of the Chloe Hudson, there is a medium sized tassel in the center of the front flap closure of the handbag, which offers a playful take on a ’70’s trend. The stitching around the edges of the flap closure offer a bohemian vibe, while the small studs around the edges of the bag offer just a tiny bit of edgy-cool. Oh yes, this bag has it all where style is concerned.
The interior of the Chloe Hudson offers three compartments which are perfect for organizing one’s purse essentials. The outer pocket offers enough room for a smart phone, notepad, or anything small you need to access quickly. I use it solely for my phone so I can quickly grab it when I need it.
The main interior compartment is luxuriously roomy. It offers enough room for a paperback book in addition to a wallet, keys, lipstick, sunglasses, and more! As you can see in the photos above, there is a lot of room to spare. The inner interior pocket is slim, and ideal for holding theater tickets, papers, a passport, or anything important.
I love everything about the Chloe Hudson. It is made from a sturdy calf leather which lends itself well to everyday wear. The flap closure gives the shoulder bag a saddle bag style, which is the hottest handbag silhouette of the moment. I love the 1970s vibe of the bag, and the construction is beautiful.
Sometimes IT bags are on the dressier side, and look out of place when paired with casual clothing and denim. The Chloe Hudson is the perfect answer to this problem. This beautiful handbag looks at home with jeans, and anything casual! It looks out of place with dressy attire, or anything too structured. This is the ultimate, casual IT bag. Love it!
The Chloe Hudson is flying off of store shelves for the fall 2015 season, and Chloe is already beginning to stock it in new colors, and variations, for resort 2016; proving the Chloe Hudson will have longevity as we move into 2016, and beyond!
I rate the Chloe Hudson, five out of five stars!
I found a few fabulous versions of the Chloe Hudson in mini, small, and medium sizes; and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love this bag as much as I do! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
Layered earrings are back! Stacking multiple pairs of earrings, or a combination of studs, cuffs, and crawlers, was a huge trend in jewelry in the late 1980s through to the mid-1990s. When the ’90’s became a decade of influence in fashion a few years ago, the trend started to resurface; and now it is here with a bang.
Arguably the hottest street style trend of the moment, the stacked or layered earring trend is fun to follow. Haven’t we all been itching to use those extra holes in our ears from our middle school, high school, and college years?
Layered earrings is an easy to trend to adapt to. There are two ways to follow it. You can have multiple piercings in your ears, or you can pretend with one pair of stud earrings, and a combination of crawlers and cuffs on one or both ears.
When wearing multiple pairs of earrings, or ear jewelry, the goal is not to have one pair overwhelm the other. The pairs of earrings must blend together. This means keep them on the dainty side and trying to keep metals matching.
Thankfully, brands and designers have recognized this hot trend on the street and put earring sets together which offer a few pairs of studs, or a combination of studs and cuffs, which match each other and take the guesswork out of styling one’s own earring stack. Love that!
If you would like to wear a statement pair of earrings, or large earrings, then they must be worn in the first hole on your ear. Keep the earrings in the other holes as basic as possible; and as small as possible. Avoid pairing ear cuffs or crawlers with a larger pair of earrings.
I found a few fabulous pairs, and sets, of earrings around the web which are perfect for layering, stacking, and mixing together! I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
