Ring in New Styles

It’s the new year fashionistas!  And that means a time to start fresh.  No doubt, 2013 served us well with many memorable trends.  Peplum tops, colored pants and statement necklaces were loved by all.  But with the new year comes new resolutions.  It’s time to venture out of our beloved trends and explore new styles.  For 2014, we have a few style resolutions of our own.

1. Venture Outside of Riding Boots

By no means do we mean stop wearing them.  Leather riding boots are a necessary staple of any wardrobe.  However, it’s time to stop relying on them for every outfit.  There are so many shoes and so many styles, why should we limit ourselves to tall boots (especially in the winter).  We particularly love trying a lower rise boot or wedge booties for a similar yet unique style.  And don’t forget about loafers, flats or heels!  in 2014, we’re all about stepping out of our style comfort zone and giving the rest of our shoes some love.

2. Experiment With Mid-Length Skirts

We’ve all loved maxi skirts and our fair share of the mini.  But what about the neglected middle child?  Mid-length skirts are whimsical while modest and sophisticated. Pair with a cardigan for a sweet and almost vintage feel, or go with a leather jacket for a sartorial look. Give them a try in any season!  We’re loving this new trend.

3. Wear More Blazers

Blazers are perhaps the easiest way to turn any casual outfit into a chic ensemble.  Having just one or two in your wardrobe offers endless mix and match possibilities.  A blazer can complement every item in your closet and instantly adds flair to any outfit.  Even pair with a tshirt and jeans for an effortless daytime outfit.

4. Flaunt Pastel Pieces

2014 is bringing back pastels in full force.  We love pastels for their undeniable feminine flair and positive energy, and they’re not just for springtime (pastel leather anyone?).  Pastel jewelry and skirts are two pieces we’ll be sure to try this year.

We’re looking forward to 2014 and the fashion it brings!  But for now, we’ll try to keep these new year’s resolutions.  Happy New Year FashioniSTAs!

Dear Santa…

I’m sure you’ve been anticipating a rather extensive list, as usual.  But as a fashioniSTA, what else do you expect?  For your convenience I’ve narrowed it down to my top ten items.  You can find every item on my list at STA.  And while you’re there, maybe you’ll even get some more ideas!  So here it is.

A Fashionista’s Christmas List:

  1. Chanel Earrings  (STA 324 Newbury St.)
  2. Fur Vest
  3. Tory Burch Boots (STA Philadelphia)
  4. David Yurman Crossover Ring
  5. Juicy Couture Watch (STA Haddonfield)
  6. Louboutin Pumps
  7. Alice and Olivia Sequin Dress (STA Englewood)
  8. Hermes Cuff
  9. Valentino Kaleido Gem Tote (STA South Miami)
  10. Louis Vuitton Scarf

Now I know fashion isn’t really your forte, so I understand if this list is a little intimidating to tackle.  So if you can’t get them, it’s okay.  I can always go to the…

SALE at STA the day after Christmas!  From 9am-12pm everything at STA is 50% off!
Then after 12pm, there’s 20-30% off the entire store!

As a present for myself, I’ll be hitting the after Christmas sale at STA.  I promise I’ve been good all year.  Merry Christmas Santa.

Sincerely,
A FashioniSTA

Black Friday: A Day to Remember

It was well worth it ladies. Black Friday was everything it promised to be, and more.  50% off everything? Are you serious?  Needless to say we had some trouble controlling ourselves. But that’s what Black Friday is for.

Once the floodgates opened at 7am I went straight for the shoe department. I certainly scored there, Marc by Marc Jacobs heels, BCBG wedges, and Delman flats! (some shoes you just have to wear out of the store…)  Both the Marc Jacobs and the Delmans were a steal for just $50 (85% off their original retail prices!), I could hear the choir singing with rejoice.

Despite all of our planning, nothing could truly prepare us for the big day.  Now cradling my shoes, I got a bit frantic during the next phase of my attack, running from rack to rack of clothing trying to find my size.  There was no time to waste, I had to fish through before someone else grabbed the Chanel dress of my dreams.  And like taking candy from a baby, my dress went home with another girl.  Hard to complain, I still left with two beautiful tops, an STA statement necklace and cocktail ring!  All together it came to under $70.  I’ll take it :)

Unsurprisingly, the girls managed to clean up as well, with a beautiful Moncler coat for $150 and Charlotte Olympia flats for $75 (again, both were almost 90% off their retail price). It’s a Black Friday miracle.

While we definitely managed to rack up a grand total, it was more than worth it.  It’s the one day of the year where you can go a little crazy.  Besides, on Black Friday, what happens in STA stays in STA.

Black Friday Countdown: 7 Days

We’re almost there fashionistas!  Just a few more days until Black Friday, only the best day of the year for us shopaholics.  I have to admit, I’m getting more and more excited by the minute, but I’m also getting nervous!  There’ll be so much to shop for, and so little time!  I can’t go in without a plan.  It’s time to assess my closet and figure out exactly what I need to track down on the big day.

There are 10 items I definitely can’t go home without on Black Friday.

The List:

1. Statement necklaces
2. Plaid (Burberry) scarf
3. Timeless loafers
4. Holiday Party Dress
5. Cross body bag (appropriate for day and night!)
6. Costume rings
7. Anything Louis Vuitton8. Black Jeans
9. Classic Blazer
10. Killer (but comfy) Flats

… and 11. Anything with tags is a perfect gifts for friends

Make your lists ladies, time is running out!
