White Hot Leopard

White has been a very underplayed color in my day to day wardrobe.  Let’s face it – monochromatic looks are chic and much easier to maintain in black. However, lately I’ve seen a surge of white all over the runway from shoes, trousers, leathers, etc… that are making me want to brave food stain disasters and travel related mishaps.

Stella McCartney delivered some amazing white pieces in her resort 2013 collection that’s in stores right now. Not only were her “all white everything” looks amazing but also mixed white with leopard and candy colored floral prints. Here are a few of my favorite looks.

To compliment this fun collection, we are releasing a new color in two Stella sunglasses. Incorporating the lovely new leopard but keeping it wearable with warm tortoise brown temples. Below is a sneak peek at the SM-4039 style only:

Just seven days after we rang in the New Year, I left for New York to attend the Stella McCartney Autumn presentation.

The day after Stella’s whimsical event, I visited their showroom to get a better look at their latest offering.

One of my favorite stores outside of the city is none other than the gem that lies in Manhasset’s beautiful Americana shopping row. Hirshleifers is the dominating force of progressive fashion and endless luxury indulgences, catering haute couture to all the fashion “it” items, and now a cleverly edited men’s assortment in their new men’s shop. Be sure to visit their new home section as well for hard to find knick knacks and chic gifts.

“Float”

Vanity Fair Magazine joined  Lisa Eisner and Jacqui Getty to debut the short film video  “Float” produced by Oliver Peoples at Chateau Marmont’s Penthouse 64 last Thursday. The modern yet nostalgic mood in the film of two college students played by actors Dakota Johnson and Thomas McDonell showcase the eye wear beautifully in both optical and sun while giving you butterflies of young love.

The weather that evening was perfect to hang out among old and young Hollywood on the terrace overlooking Sunset Blvd.
