The Choclat Factory - Spain

Who ever said "it what's on the inside that counts" never has been to "The Choclat Factory" in Spain.

The chic chocolate emporium has been around since 1997 and makes a brand distinction with their unique/whimsical packaging and unique store interior. Bold graphics, honest and simple copy and understated colors define their packaging. As for the shopping experience, imagine your favorite European bakery in a Giorgio Armani Casa interior......this is the experience.

The unique thing about "The Choclat Factory "is they create an amazing experience with site, sound and taste in the first 45 seconds of walking into any of their stores. Trust me, I've been in enough over this past Holiday and have the extra pounds to thank for my visits.

Make "The Choclat Factory" a stop on your next visit to any of Spain major capitals.

WINTER WHITE

The East Coast received its first rush of snow and it's no better time to wear WHITE than now.

White is a great way to liven up any winter day and stand out from the sea of black so many people wear during this season. Try white in fur, a down jacket, crocodile bag or even denim jeans during the winter.

Moncler Gamme Rouge has created a collection full of chic winter white options the are perfect for any event. MGR's silhouettes, materials and overall styling are extremely chic while being functional for the cold months.

Maybe you're a little unsure about wearing white in the winter; if so then use white as an accent to your grey, chocolate brown and black winter pieces for a graphic look.

Pajama Party

The Pajama Trend is a great fashion statement to casually transition into the new year after an indulgent Holiday. Keep in mind that this isn't your grandmothers flannel jammies we're talking about. Think high quality fabrics, high design prints and tailoring that would rival designers on Savill Row. The Pajama trend was spotted at the Spring/Summer shows this past season and is showing no signs of disappearing anytime soon.

Try breaking up the look if you're not comfortable wearing an entire pajama ensemble. I suggest a crop fitted cashmere sweater in a pop color and collared shirt with pajama pants or a white jeans with a pajama top, tons of jewelry and stiletto's for a casual chic look. Either way join the pajama party and Happy New Year.

The Velvet Slipper

The Velvet Slipper AKA Prince Albert Slippers have been a staple in many bespoke loving men and women closet's for decades.

This classic shoe recently has had a resurgence with the go to brand of choice "Stubbs and Wooten" creating quirky novelty styles for preppy punks. If your over Stubbs, then upgrade to Alexander McQueen or Del Toro as alternative, both have a young fresh version on this classic style that many people won't be wearing.

Whether you personalize, monogram or stay simple.....it's a timeless shoe that's perfect for the Holiday season.

The Hermes Constance

We all know and love the Birkin and Kelly bag by Hermes but do you know the Constance?

I rediscovered the Constance while on travels in LA because of its simple classic shape that looks great dressed up or worn casually. The sweet shoulder bag has long been coveted by the chic set for many years as the go to hands free Hermes option.

Try one in a bright color or an exotic skin for the Fall Season.

Gucci at 90 years old

Gucci will be celebrating it's 90 birthday next week with a major fashion party in Milan and Frida Gianni showed a power packed Spring/Summer 12 collection yesterday in honor of the brands milestone anniversary.

The collection featuring bold jackets and high waist pants seemed to evoke a modern day Joan Collin's from Dynasty mixed with a 20's Flapper: Serious, Sexy, No Nonsense and Sophisticated. The color palette was grounded in black with lots of gold fringe and other opulent details.

I can imagine Joan Collin's wearing each outfit from the collection as she handles her duties of being the Fashion and Social police of Dallas....justice can only be served when one is fashionable.

I say pull this look up for Fall and celebrate the Holiday season in Style.
