Stylefile: Double Cuff Trend

Whether you’ve heard of this trend…rocking runways & street fashion at the moment or not, you’re in for a surprise.
This trend is spot on & we’re not sure why it hasn’t been adopted by stylespotters and trendsetters more often! The Double Cuff trend by some may seem silly — purchase two of the same bracelet? Isn’t that redundant and a waste? Absolutely not.

The double cuffs create unity amongst an outfit. No matter how wild & crazy, or plain & simple your outfit is, it creates a balance that is both simple to achieve & fun to play around with. Wear two of the complete same wrist cuffs, or try different colored cuffs in the same style. Make it your own!

Jennie Kay is wearing cuffs from Francesca’s Collections boutique in Newport, RI.

These cuffs are both trendy & wallet friendly. Seen above, though the colors seen on these cuffs are different, the gold & orange come together beautifully to create a fashion forward and unique look to an otherwise basic outfit.

Oh yes… & did we mention…Miss Jennie is 9 months preggo–how’s this for a stylish mama with a fabulous glow?! :)

We’d say this trend is on point for Spring/Fall 2013!
So go ahead, what are you waiting for? Buy arm decor in pairs!

Trend Alert: Backwards Necklaces

Who said necklaces were to be draped down the front? With more & more backless fashions in the mix today, it’s no wonder designers have decided to reverse jewelry looks as well. We are loving this look. Decorating a perfectly exposed back can be classy, intriguing, and fierce!

The necklace does not have to be a separate piece either; more designers are adding jewelry to the backs of the clothing, making it appear as though you have draped them over your outfit yourself. The backwards necklace was an especially prominent look at this years Oscars.

Anne Hathaway & Jennifer Lawrence 2013 Oscars

The look can be found on dresses, tee shirts, tank tops, wedding gowns, etcetera. The look from the front is often basic, simple, nothing out of the ordinary, however, when you turn around you reveal a completely unexpected and sparkling look.

Regardless of how you wear it, it’s a sure way to turn heads with this different and simple look!

We’re Featured on ShoeBuy.com!

Jennie’s POST this past summer is featured on Shoebuy.com (link here)!

We absolutely loved the Rockport leopard shooties!!
Everything from the “walkability”, the not-too-high-heel, the calf hair leopard print, and the comfort you experience when wearing the product!

You should totally go snag a pair. We’re lucky enough to have a Rockport store in our neighborhood on Thames Street in Newport — give them a visit!!!

Holy Tuxedo!

HOLY TUXEDO!

 

One of the hottest trends to hit the runways and streets this season is the tuxedo pant. This versaitle trend features a refined street-chic yet a reformed look that can be worn nearly anywhere, anytime.

Whether you choose to wear the entire suit look — pants and jacket– or one or the other, these two items can transform your look completely. Throw in a pair of black stilettos and you’re golden.

They come in styles such as an ankle-hugging cigarette style, a flared bell bottom, wide leg, and more. As well as various textures and fabrics – leather and silk stripes, as well as cotton, silk, linen, denim, velvet, leather and more.

We love the romantic and androgynous look of the tuxedo pant. Designers have incorporated the seasons hottest prints and colors into the look as well, making it bolder and more statement-making then ever. Take a  look at some of our favorites:

There are LITERALLY so many ways to wear this look – pair with shorts, dresses, skirts, you name it. Throw on a tuxedo jacket and look superbly polished and fashionable — just how we like it

Stay Chic Beauty Parlourettes!

Celebrity Style Crush: Kristen Stewart

Where has she come from?! Kristen Stewart has really evolved and become quite the fashionista on the Red Carpet.

Though many of you may not be a fan of her, her style is something you need to check out!

Her stylist Tara Swennen has been dressing her since 2007 and I really am loving her look as of late. Stewart is no longer that awkward, shyly dressed girl. Though she still may be a bit shy, her outfits scream the opposite; Swennen and Stewart have pushed a more sexual and sensual style now that her Twilight movie days have come to and end.

What I love most about Stewart is that she is a tomboy at heart. She can be seen strutting her stuff in a pair of Louboutins on the red carpet and half way through changing into a pair of Chuck Taylors; it’s what makes her real. It seems as though has an alter ego like Beyoncé and Sasha Fierce. Let’s say K-Stew’s alter ego is Jennie Kay … right? Haha

While on the red carpet you can find her in Balenciaga, Zuhair Murad, Balmain, & Stella McCartney. She sports skirts and dresses with thigh-high slits and off the red carpet she sports tee shirts, skinny jeans, and a baseball cap – she is the essence of the best of both fashion worlds.

In terms of her makeup, for such a tomboy her makeup artist does a phenomenal job of bringing out her eyes with a black smudged shadow and eyeliner or sometimes a nice gold/bronze smokey eye. Stewart also is able to wear the exact opposite and wear a very minimal looking makeup – natural and flawless. We think she looks fabulous either way and either style, and we happen to envy both!

Oxblood Lip

Trending fall color of the moment: Oxblood Red

Oxblood Trend 2012

A deep and infatuating blend of red, wine, and maroon.

How do you wear it?
Casual on a date, jeans, tee, scarf, belted cardigan and some oxfords — opt to wear a gloss over it, this can create a more flirty and casual look
On the red carpet (or simply out, you may feel like you’re on the redcarpet, we all do sometimes ;) ) can be worn with many shades, black, beige,
etcetera, for a bold, feminine, and dressed up look.

The oxblood lip is a statement piece, if you will. Keep your look simple, picture a natural eye – thin liner, a swipe of mascara, a clear and smooth complexion, a hint of rosy blush, add your bold lip and you’re stunning. Sweep your hair up and away into a messy bun, or a tamed ballerina sock bun, for a dramatic look.

Experiment with types of lip color that work best for you — stains, lipsticks, tinted balm, or glosses. Such a plethora of tones in the oxblood/wine color this season that you’re bound to find a color that best fits your coloring.

Incorporate this 2012 color into your wardrobe as well, it’s bound to be a confident and necessary addition to your closet.

How amazing is this Oxblood Alexander Wang dress? Or these prada pumps? These pinterest groupies top left and bottom right sure know how to rock the trend of the season

Rockport Walkability

So lets be honest here…I am a lover of leopard, neon, glitz, bedazzling, sequins, and some things that many people may perceive as gaudy or tacky …but to JKP — its amazing and FAB!

Honestly, when I first thought of Rockport, style did not come to my mind. I always thought that they appealed to an older crowd, my  have times changed! Shoes are trendier, prettier and feet are happier. Rockport sent me some shoes to have and to hold! Free shoes –yaaaaaaaaa!!!

How it all unfolded: I receive a box in the mail from Rockport … the Hubby excitedly rips the package open, thinking I am getting some new addidas/Rockport Running shoes. To his surprise, he pulls out a pair of high heeled leopard booties. His response? “Uhhhh these are not sneakies!”.

Naturally my face lit up, I whipped off my flats and slid into the nearly 4 inch heels, and to my pleasant surprise the shoes were not only extremely comfortable but also surprisingly LIGHT.

Best part is I will actually wear these! The leopard booties, grrrrrr, or should I say Presia Zip Shootie in leopard pony, feature adiPRENE by addias from Rockport’s Walkability Line.

Shooties!? — I love that they are called shooties! Adi-what!?

Adiprene by addidas is a new technology where basically, sport meets fashion.

  1. Adiprene lies beneath the heel of the footbead to absorb shock
  2. Adiprene lies beneath the forefoot of the footbed and helps to provide energy and rebound

[adiprene by adidas + fashion & trendiness = Rockport Walkabilty  ... in other words, happy pretty feet!]

  Now all my friends know Jennie Kay is not a heel girl. Don’t get me wrong yes I do love heels and yes I do buy them (occasionally now, not as much as I did when I was single and still mingling) But I CANNOT, I repeat CANNOT walk in them…I am very awkward and there has been a few too many face plants, heel rolls, and tumbles in heels for this gal. Straight from the heart here it is….

Will I buy a pair? Absolutely, BUT, I will stick to Rockport flats unless I need them for an event, in which case you know I will be sporting these :)

The Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Comfortable
  • Still a nice heel (thin and slender) I am not into chunky clunky heels
  • Great with pants, skirts or shorts…very versatile.
  • Stylish

The Cons

  • My only concern is how the pony hair will hold up if I am caught in the rain one day with them on but I will be sure to keep you posted!

Interested in purchasing a pair of these babies?! Comment below and I will send along a coupon! :)
