Easter is almost here! That means it is time to think about the perfect outfit to go from morning mass (or service) to Easter festivities! I always love looking for the right ensemble for Easter. I love to have a nice outfit to celebrate the holiday as well as take me through the days’ celebrations. 

I originally bought this dress for fashion week in New York and then quickly realized it would not keep me warm; despite the long sleeves. The eyelet fabric on the sleeves is open and acts like natural air conditioning. This makes it ideal for spring weather. The neckline is modest and the eyelet fabric on the body has a light tan liner underneath, keeping the fabric modest and appropriate for church. Perfect!

This will be my Easter dress! I also plan to wear it to meetings; or anytime this spring I need to look professional. Love that!

What types of outfits do you enjoy wearing on Easter?

I am a sucker for a product with a cause. I am also a sucker for a fabulous sandal! So, when the two are combined, the world is a better place 😉 

As a fan of Stuart Weitzman, I was overjoyed to receive an email advertising his spring 2015 Leg Wrap sandal. Not only have I been eyeing this beautiful pair of sandals since they first hit his website a few weeks ago, I was now given a reason to actually buy a pair! Proceeds from the sale of Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap sandal go directly to Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives. Information on her work here. Love that!

Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap sandal Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives is a beautiful on-trend shoe which is fabulous for the spring 2015 season. The Leg Wrap Sandal benefiting Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives by Stuart Weitzman are made in red, yellow, black, denim, and platinum noir which is a beautiful, soft metallic hue.

Shoes with ties, wraps, and straps are hot for the warm weather season. Not only is the shoe itself on-trend, it is a versatile piece! These fabulous high heeled sandals can easily be worn with a pair of this season’s boot cut or flare jeans, to spice up a casual look, or paired with a dress for evening occasions. The black or platinum noir pair are perfect for pairing with semi-formal attire, cocktail dresses, and even gala gowns! Now how’s that for versatility?!

I am trying to decide whether to purchase the denim, black, or platinum noir pair of Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap Sandal. Which color do you love?

Asia Fashion Collection showed their new collection for fall / winter 2015 / 2016 on February 14, 2015 in The Salon at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week. Asia Fashion Collection features designs from Vantan Design Institute. As a result, the collection features innovative and fresh designs from multiple designers from the institute.

Designers from Asia Fashion Collection created edgy designs which pushed the boundaries of traditional fashion. The designs fused artistic expression together with wearable art; creating a thought-provoking collection which transcends seasonal trends; and what we think fashion should be. Love that!

The creations on the Asia Fashion Collection runway at New York Fashion Week were playful; fusing together modern prints and silhouettes with personal expression. Designers also played with volume which created flattering drape, silhouettes, and overall ensembles. The collections inspired onlookers to think past trends and traditional style in order to take oneself back to a time when getting dressed was fun, playful, and personal.

Isn’t this what fashion should be? Art as opposed to commercial marketing platforms? Thought to ponder. . .
