Ryzenberg On: Chambray Wishes

It’s light, it’s easy to wear and it doesn’t wrinkle — yup, I am referring to chambray.

This is seriously the perfect fabric for spring and summer as it can be dressed up, down and it’s a perfect staple for a vacation or work ensemble.

Pair it with printed or colored jeans, some jewelry and sandals and you are set to go. As for the 9-to-5 look, a pair of trousers, a blazer and heels and you will be comfy in the office.

Chambray dresses are also perfect and can even go from day to night with the right accessories. This color pretty much combines with everything and it’s a nice alternative to sun dresses and maxi pleats.

If you live in denim, it’s also easy to combine it and avoid looking like you are sporting a Canadian tuxedo! Just make sure the shirt is slightly different from the jeans (or shorts) and you will have a winning look!

These gals sure know how to rock it.

Ryzenberg On: Midwinter Maxi Skirts

Don’t be sad we have a few weeks of winter left — just make the most of it. If you are tired of wearing pants, leggings and jeans, (repeat, wash, dry clean, repeat) lower your seams and go for maxi skirts. 

These ultra long fun pieces not only elongate your gams, they are also a great transitional piece you can wear in spring and summer. Wear now with boots and a hat, and later with sandals or wedges. Jazz it up with some bold baubles to give it more of a bohemian feel. 

A perfect cure to the winter blues and a sure bet to make you stand from the pack.

Ryzenberg On: Tickle a Fashionista’s Fancy

After extensive blog research from the Ryzenberg On investigative unit, (OK, me) there are many things that stylish gals covet that go beyond clothes, shoes and baubles. But let me make something clear, we can never have enough of the aforementioned items. 

However, since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, sometimes it’s the little things that make us smile and anything pretty will always wow us. We love good fresh smells, (perfumes, candles and flowers) anything sumptuous (warning: this one might follow a ‘do I look fat or have I gained weight’ ponder) and soft (puppies and kittens, please apply.)

So if you are looking to impress your girl of BFF, here are a few ideas that might make you one lucky dog, not just on Feb. 14 for year-round bliss. Oh yeah, and leave the lingerie for us to get, but if you really want a preview, make a date so that way Victoria doesn’t hold any secrets.

Ryzenberg On: Spotted — Céline Luggage Shopper Tote

Ryzenberg On: Spotted — Céline Luggage Shopper Tote

There is a new bag du jour in the fashionsphere. Céline’s Luggage Shopper Tote is amongst the most coveted items for celebs, models, editors and anyone with a keen sense of style.

So why is all of the sudden this Parisian house, famous for its polished looks, so sought-after? Well that’s simple, its creative director Phoebe Philo (formerly at Chloé) revived the brand and created an accessories line that usually steals the show during Paris Fashion Week. Another notable Celiné designer is Michael Kors, who in the late 1990s, was named the first womenswear and ready-to-wear designer and creative director. He developed several blockbuster collections and a critically acclaimed pret-a-porter line.

The brand has been around since 1945 and has kept its equestrian chic feel for decades. This is certainly a simple well-made bag that is versatile and timeless. It comes in several sizes and colors and will elevate a look to understated elegance. 

When Céline debuted this purse in 2009, it was sold out for months and many were placed on wait lists worldwide. Now, although some colors are hard to find, you can find a piece of handbag heaven at Saks, Neiman Marcus, Barneys and other upscale stores. 

But if you think it doesn’t come with a hefty price tag, THINK AGAIN. The line starts at about $1,000 and can go to as high as $3,500, so get ready to dish out the dough!

This is definitely some fabulous baggage you’ll want to carry.

The Finer Things in Fashion

Attractive and high quality apparel and accessories mean everything in fashion. Cuts, colors (shades & tones), prints and woven materials (fabric) are seen within every piece of clothing or accessory. Details are important and show the complexity made to produce that piece of art.

With the upcoming celebration of the holidays and turn onto the New Year, it’s important to see what kinds of things are “finer” in our wardrobe. As we shop daily, weekly or even monthly, we tend to forget what kinds of things last long or don’t.

Classics are made to be forever and have those specific cuts, colors and materials that make us want to buy them and have them in our wardrobe for as long as we can keep them.

Here are a couple of things that are seen to be “The Finer Things in Fashion” because of how classic they can be. Every piece can be a “classic” in anyone’s opinion; the details are just all that matters to make them a “finer” piece.

Pashmina Art Cashmere Gray Scarf

Fine in texture but strong, light and soft at the same time.

Chanel 2.55 Double Flap Bag
Quality fine lambskin leather with details of quilted stitching

Giuseppe Zanotti Neon Colorblock Platform D’Orsay

High gloss patent leather for colorful heels

Cartier Tank Solo Watch
A stainless steel case and bezel with precision quartz movement

Whether it’s a basic blazer or trendy heel, details mean a lot. Anyone and everyone can appreciate the finer things in fashion.

Ryzenberg On: Currently Coveting

So yes, this is the time of the year when I put together my wish list (in hopes it becomes a reality) so listen up!

This time, I am doing things a little bit different. I’ve placed some of the highlights above, but most of my coveteables are available on this nifty new site called Give or Get. It is currently in private beta, but let me know if you’d like to test it!

Give or Get allows you to create gift guides to share with friends so that you don’t get an ugly sweater or toaster during those special milestones in life. Not sure what to get mom for her birthday? Just create a guide with fun presents and select the best one.

This is super handy especially for planning bridal parties, bachelorettes or housewarming. This case, there are no repeats and more importantly, no gift cards as gifts!
