The Chicest Dramatic Sequined Duster

WEARING: THE AKIRA LABEL SEQUINED DUSTER | MAVI JEANS | PLT HEELS | CHANEL BAG | CHANEL NECKLACE


THIS POST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY AKIRA & VIVRELLE

It is still duster jacket season, well, it is in my fashion book. I normally see floral print, neutrals such as a lovely beige or subtle gray when it comes to these kinds of thin-material jackets but these are all more suitable for daytime wear. I’ve been looking for one as evening wear, and when I laid my eyes on this particular sequined jacket, I was quite excited to style it let alone wear it around town, to which has received many compliments already. The jacket, guys. Continue reading to learn about the different ways to style this marvel beauty, where you can get your hands on it, and lastly, a newly discovered brand where you can borrow high-end luxury accessories such as handbags and even jewelry! It’s all going down now on MaQ + Suz so check out the post!

The AKIRA Label Can’t Get Enough Dramatic Sequined Duster is made from a mesh fabrication with 3D feathered sequins, an open front, and a long flowing length. Throw this over a mini dress for a dramatic entrance, or wear it alone as a dress with a thick belt - I opted with jeans because your jean gal is not prissy. I went with a pair that had a little more detail such as these pearl studs to keep up with the extravagance of the duster jacket. I just love that no matter how you style this jacket, it’s a show stopper - definitely a statement piece. I definitely think it’s also wearable all year-round, and how fun would it be to layer this with other fabrics such as animal print, faux fur, or perhaps… more sequin?

How would you like to have access to hundreds of classic luxury accessories starting at $99/month? Members can experience an item for as long as they'd like, or swap it out monthly. If you love your accessory, you can buy it as well! This is Vivrelle. For as low as $99 per month, you can borrow this Chanel bag and Chanel necklace (& so many other amazing accessories), including some of my favorites in my personal Vivrelle closet! Use code "Suzanne Spiegoski" to get to the top of the wait list. 

As for my hair style, I’ve been pulling my bangs back with bobby pins or hair clips like these cute 90s-inspired ones because I need a trim! Just haven’t had the time with my busy schedule, so yes, sometimes you just have to make it work. Either that or try to adapt. It’s kind of having me NOT miss my bangs because let’s face it, they’re a lot of work in terms of maintenance. What do you guys think… keep banging or grow them out?

What do you guys think of this look? I definitely think it’s great for an evening where you want to paint the town red, but at the same time, keeping your style semi-casual. I’ve never been the type to style a look only from one genre/trend but more so of mixing things up. Because fashion should be fun and interesting. And stepping outside the box always can lead to something new and different. How would you have styled this sequined duster jacket? Don’t forget to shop the pieces at the beginning and end of this post! Got a question? You can drop them down in the section below (at the end of this post). Happy Monday! Wishing you all a killer good week.

LOVE & XX’S,

NYFW SS 18 Day 1: PH5, Greta Constantine, Noon by Noor and Tadashi Shoji

PH5

PH5 is a New York City based advanced contemporary womenswear label founded by Wei Lin in 2014. Designed by Parsons-trained Mijia Zhang and backed by a solid knitwear manufacturer, PH5 redefines knitwear by adding colorful and playful techniques. To meet the needs of a generation of creatives, PH5 offers innovative knit and knit-woven garments that reflect a sense of individualistic and cool sophisticated personality. Their inspiration this season is artificial flowers and focuses on human influence and manipulation of nature. Inspired by the works of Mark Quinn, Thomas Stim and Dieter Huber, their SS 18 presentation pushed boundaries against the relentless desire in us all to control nature through fashion and beauty. The models were diverse, a mix of body types, ages, and heights (yay), there was even a male model. Can you tell which one? This collection I found to be very beautiful.

GRETA CONSTANTINE

CAFA 2016 Womenswear Designer of the Year winner Greta Constantine is an accessible luxury line of ready-to-wear womenswear based in Toronto, Canada. Designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong have quickly accumulated a clientele comprised of international socialites and celebrities alike. The SS 18 presentation pleasantly surprised me as I know their work and this was something quite different from what they normally do. 80s disco-glam inspired sequins with pops of neon, big hoop earrings, and fierce stiletto nails. The inevitable product of their focus on the female form is design emboldened by sexuality. And you can definitely say this collection is ultra-sexy, glamorous and fun. Truly effortless with modern sensibility,. The glitterati have arrived!

Noon By Noor is a Bahrain based womenswear label founded in 2008 by designers Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa. Cousins and friends since childhood, they studied Fashion Design in the United States and after graduating, returned to Bahrain to bring their vision to life. Modern and effortless with a focus on striking prints and intricate embellishments, Noon By Noor’s refined aesthetic fuses understated luxury with a playful femininity. Inspiration is drawn from both Eastern and Western influences with an emphasis on sharp tailoring, clean silhouettes and attention to detail. What I loved most about their SS 18 collection was the input of color! More especially, red. This trend will be hot, hot, hot - from head to toe!

TADASHI SHOJI

Well-dressed women worldwide continue to flock to the brand’s new designs that are both modern and fresh. First Lady Michelle Obama, Octavia Spencer, Kate Hudson, Miranda Kerr, and Katy Perry are all fans of the line. The inspiration behind Japanese designer Tadashi Shoji's SS 18 Collection 'Golden State of Mind' was the pure bliss of the West Coast. It was a wonderful blend of bohemian and luxury, and being it was the first time seeing this designer, I was so in love with the collection. Everything was so well-made right down to the set design. Stay tuned for a lot more upcoming NYFW content! I'm even working on a vlog this season! Coming soon... :)
