JOY LOVES FASHION

While on a midnight stroll in the Meat Packing district of NYC with my boyfriend last Saturday, I stumbled upon the fabulous window at Matthew Williamson. I love a good turban and these were tied in such innovative ways that totally evoke luxurious summer vacays in the South of France. I snapped some pics of these utterly fab ladies and had to share with you. The secret to a fabulous turban comes from having fun and being creative. Many, many times I have come up with the most amazing turbans while playing around or simply tying quickly while running out the door! There’s no wrong way!

Many of you have asked me to do a turban tutorial and I am thrilled at the idea of it! I am looking into partnering with a magazine to debut it. I can’t wait to share it with you and I hope to inspire you to create some great summer turbans!

And now…Matthew, take it away!

Turbans are so elegant and chic. I think they look fab paired with the maxi dresses seen here and with a jumpsuit. Add beautiful flat sandals and bold shades and you’re set!

But of course you can do it casually like I did yesterday:

I tied this turban using an H&M scarf

At the Times Square MAC store! Such a nice ambiance.

Dressed down day: I’m wearing a vintage Guess army jacket, scarf courtesy of BCBGeneration, old legggings, H&M scarf tied into turban & shades, Urban Outfitters booties.

I hate traditional rain boots. The are so hard to accessorize and take over the whole outfit. I wear these booties instead! Edgy and keeps my feet dry : )

As many of you may know, I am a huge fan of sunglasses– especially unique types. I love to wear quirky, colorful shades that lend a story to the outfit-from casual to avant garde. Right now, I am all about a bold red hue for summertime! Here I am wearing sunglasses that I bought online at Giant Vintage about 3 years ago. They are an awesome online eyewear store that sells an insane amount of vintage shades for fab prices! Many under $50!! I Love the shape and frame of the ones I have on. I thought it would be fun to gather 10 of my favorite red shades for every budget. Everything from cat eye sunnies to classic Ray-Bans!
