When I was in New York for fashion week, I took a break from the shows in order to visit Kendra Scott’s showroom in the Garment District. As a fan of her jewelry, I found myself walking into jewelry heaven! The showroom featured Kendra Scott’s classic collection, the Spring 2015 “Avant Garden” collection, her summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection, and a peek her fall 2015 collection, which is in progress.

Kendra Scott’s spring 2015 collection, “Avant Garden” is a beautiful and dreamy collection filled with pastel agate, opal, quartz, and drusy. The stones are set in gold, silver, and rose gold settings. There were edgy styles like crawler earrings, bold statement earrings such as the “Kaki Earrings,” and seasonal takes on her classic collection. I have fallen in love with the “Susanna Bracelets,” and every necklace in the collection. I cannot wait to collect a few pieces!

For summer 2015, Kendra Scott took her inspiration from the mystifying jungles of The City of Dawn, Tulum, Mexico, and the Mayan culture. The collection has taken a bold turn away from her classic collection, yet successfully captured the appeal which has placed her on the fashion map. Although the designs are new and exciting, the summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection stays true to the brand; you will be impressed!

Due in stores April 15, 2015, Kendra Scott’s “Via Maya” collection for summer 2015 offers bright colors, triangular tiering, and a vibe which will transport you to an exotic beach location in Mexico. Not only do I have many of the summer 2015 pieces on my wish list, I am suddenly craving a vacation to Mexico!

Here are a few pictures of the summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection due in stores April, 2015.

New York Fashion Week winter outfit

I wore this outfit at New York Fashion on day three. I knew I would be visiting Kendra Scott’s showroom that day, and I wanted to wear an outfit designed around my favorite new necklace by Kendra Scott; just purchased in January! I absolutely love the bright color, and bold design, of this classic necklace by Kendra Scott. I had to design an outfit which would be all about the necklace, and would really show off the beautiful, bright color. I loved this black and white dress by Kate Spade and found it would be the perfect backdrop for the necklace. Since I knew I would be wearing these black and white, lug sole high heels by BCBG in New York, I thought it would be fun to color block the whole look black and white; while still allowing the bright hue of the necklace to shine through.

The weather in New York was beyond cold. As a “born and raised” NorCal girl, I felt like I had fallen into the frozen tundra; never to return! So, on my first, and second day, in New York, I bundled up in black pants (different pair each day!) and my coat. I wore my flat, lug sole boots by Donald J Pliner which I scored on sale, and wrapped myself in a scarf. It was cozy and comfy; perfect to combat the single digit temperatures! By day three I had acclimated which resulted in pulling out my heels and dressing up!

It was interesting to see all the people standing outside Lincoln Center either waiting for friends, or hoping to get their picture taken by street style photographers. Many of them were not wearing warm clothing; some even had bare legs! I guess when someone is from a cold climate, the wind chill doesn’t bother them. Not this California girl! I was frozen like a popsicle! I found myself walking really fast from the hotel to the shows; as well as from cabs to off-site shows. Brrr!

Well, I survived, and even wore tights three days in a row! Three cheers for avoiding frostbite!!

How do you survive the cold temperatures when you are traveling? Do you acclimate easily?

Stay tuned! In a few days I will post Kendra Scott’s beautiful spring 2015 collection; as well as give you a sneak peek at her amazing summer collection which will debut in April.

All blue for spring

If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you may already know that blue is my favorite color. This is a huge reason why I am so excited for the spring 2015 season! Designers and brands are showing multiple shades of blue; shown together and separate. Love that!

If you took a look at my closet, you would see a lot of blue and black with touches of purple and green thrown in for variety. These are the colors I am drawn towards no matter what the seasonal color wheel dictates. This dress is the perfect cobalt blue and I love how it looks with my slightly darker cobalt heels. This will definitely be a go-to look for me this spring and summer!

Which color or colors do you find yourself drawn to season after season? Are there any colors this spring 2015 season you find yourself drawn to?
