How to Make it Mary Tyler Moore Style

by Miss P. on May 18, 2012

Mary Tyler Moore

Mary Tyler Moore surly turned the world on with her smile and this fall she is doing the same with her fashion.  The Fall 2012 runways were full of designers embracing her fluid and colorful look.  The quintessential 70’s icon with her tied necks and bold colors has provided an influence into today’s modern wardrobe. 

Fabrics such as chiffon, tweed, and ultra suede in colors like avocado, mustard, orange, and purple pack major punch.  While pleats, maxi lengths, and plunging Vs mixed with stripes, geometrics, floral, and chevron patterns make the comeback powerful and dramatic.

 

 

Derice, one of our fashionably savvy stylists, has put    together two looks emulating the Mary Tyler Moore-inspired trend giving it our own Marissa Collection’s twist. 

 

 

         Day Chic:

 Look includes: Oscar de la Renta tank and cardigan, Schumacher pleated skirt, Brunello Cucinelli boots, Vaubel earrings, Fendi crossbody bag, and Inverni hat.

      Hit the town:

 Look includes: Andrew Gn tunic and coat, Fendi pumps and handbag, Lanvin belt, and Yossi Harari earrings.

 

Groove to the chic,

Gatsby Roars into Spring

by Miss P. on May 17, 2012

Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, and Marc Jacobs

 Brush up on your razzle dazzle; the 1920’s have come back with a roar. Flirty glamour drenched in sequins, fringe, beading, and feathers have taken over the Spring catwalks instilling elegance, femininity, and luxuriousness into warm weather styles.  Cool palettes and slender silhouettes with drop waists have come to define the period with its more boyish look.  Silk, sheer, beading, and intricate accoutrements will be everywhere embracing the divine deco period that promises an overdose of opulence and style.

 

Marissa Collections can’t get enough of the Gatsby-inspired trend and we’ve put together a look that would have Daisy Buchanan drooling.  We know you, yourself are in love, so here is what we included: Alberta Ferretti’s sleeveless drop-waist dress, Brunello Cucinelli’s horn closure cardigan, Jordan Alexander’s pyrite and pave lariat necklace, and Manolo Blahnik’s pointed toe ballet flat.

Stay divinly decadent,

Summer Essentials!

by Les Trois on May 4, 2012

I’ll be honest, it’s pretty much Summer all year round in Naples, Florida; which makes us Floridians your perfect source for all things summer! Let’s start with the suitcase…Fendi’s Trolly Piccolo suitcase is not only adorable in the classic pequin stripes, but the ideal size for your weekend getaway to St. Barts or the Hamptons.

So what to pack? Let’s start with the perfect beach tote from Stella McCartney. Look, if you can’t make it to Hawaii this summer, why not carry the picturesque landscape around? Tote around your towel, suncreen, and shades in style.

 

Speaking of shades…I’m love the spring/summer Oliver Peoples collection; especially the touch of ivory on their Myriel Spice Gradient sunnies.

Next on your “summer essential” list is the perfect cover-up. I favor Rag & Bone‘s light green ruched jersey dress.  It’s easy, lightweight, and perfect to put on over your bikini. Slip your feet into these golden t-strap sandals from Michael Kors to complete the look.

 

 

Lastly, a fun maxi dress to wear to dinner or a party. I adore this Kelly Wearstler labrinth maxi dress in a jade, which you can pair with the Michael Kors sandal you packed as well.

 

Now you are all set for a wonderful and chic vacation! Safe traveles fashionistas!
