Jessica Alba NY SoHo Street Style

Most of the time when one thinks of a long denim skirt, disaster comes to mind. But Jessica Alba defines the odds and takes a denim a-line over the knee skirt and makes it SoHo chic.

How does she pull this off? Simple. Trendy accessories such as a skinny braided belt, gladiator sandals, cat eye sunglasses, and a brooch pendant necklace really pull the almost matronly skirt into NY style.

Celeb Style – Gwyneth Paltrow and Faith Hill NYC Style

New York street style at its best. Gwyneth Paltrow and Faith Hill looked like the girls next door in casual day wear while dining out. Gwyn’s style is bohemian inspired with silk harem pants, loose razorback tank, and thick centered gladiator sandals. Its trendy, but includes very basic items.

Faith shows an unusually edgier side with a cotton button down shirt, tattered jean shorts, and rocker combat boots. The boots essentially make this outfit stand out with style. Combat boots are a huge statement, but done with a preppy button down is a great even balance. Click around on the collage below and get their street style!

FASHION BY THE RULES: Trump’d

In the annals of fashion history there are few who boast lineage and genetics as part of their resume, however Ivanka Trump (Kushner) can boast both. While they may not have directly contributed to her growing success, there was a portion of those elements that created this young woman and her passions.

I first met her mother when she was pregnant with Ivanka and the Trump Tower was about to make an indelible mark on the landscape of New York City. Much to my delight, Ivana was a charming and unassuming young woman who came to us for her maternity clothes, okay so she wasn’t exactly a wall flower. Be that as it may, the young lady Ivana and her husband raised, turned out to be accomplished, poised, well spoken, of her own mind, and talented on so many levels. The talents are what interest me and the talents which she has used to market herself and mold her image to the public and their tastes.

When I first read of her fine jewelry venture/partnership, I was skeptical that this was the type of “arrangement” that would not hold water especially due to the category and the raw materials and well, the sheer expense of the items. It also made me question whether or not Ms. Trump was capable of the task, other than lending her name and personage to this realm of product. I was greatly surprised to find a literal “jewel box” of a shop on Madison Avenue, filled with a large amount of some very tasteful jewelry. The boutique offers a wide selection of styles which range from the Cartier/David Webb inspired pieces to the more contemporary pieces that are just plain wearable and reasonably priced, relatively speaking. What I discern from the selection is a desire to utilize some uncommon materials and make them approachable and appealing in a 21st century kind of way. All this has contributed to the expansion of the collection and now offering the brand to jewelry boutiques world wide.

Presently, Ms.Trump (Kushner) is lending her name and input to another new venture, handbags. Through another partnership she will try to bring this product to “real people.” My take is that this will hardly be for the masses but a wider audience than she has for the fine jewelry. If done carefully, I believe that the task at hand is absolutely probable and more than possible given her level headedness and her business acumen. She will know who to reference and what to put out there that will bear her name and style. She is far tamer than her mother and certainly with a great appeal to younger women around the world and this might be the beginning of Ivanka Trump, THE BRAND!
