Luxe Life Goes Abroad!

Luxe Life goes abroad!

Ciao!
For the next few weeks, Luxe will have a sneak peak of the hottest spring 2011 trends directly from the most famous fashion capitols of the world….Rome and Paris!  
As for my brief background, I began my fashion career in the bridal industry designing couture bridal gowns in California.  In 2002, I moved to New York to work for J. Mendel Paris, where I directed all retail merchandising efforts in addition to building and developing the bridal and couture division.  As Lisa mentioned, I am recently engaged and along for the ride while my fiancĂ© finishes his MBA at Northwestern.  But most importantly, I love to shop, I love to travel and I am desperate for a little retail therapy pronto!!!
For spring 2011, the runways were filled with romantic ruffles, flounces, maxi skirts, vintage lace and exotic abstract prints…all to-die-for!  The overall Spring trend epitomized the classic but luxurious Bohemian lady that I imagine will be shopping  on Via Dei Condotti, home to Italy’s top designer stores such as Prada, Versace, Gucci and Dolce and Gabbana.  I have been told the shops located on Vie Dei Condotti used to charge you just for walking in….Thankfully this has changed!
I am incredibly honored to be working with Lisa as well as having the opportunity to play a small role in the success of Luxe Life.  
I look forward to sharing my fantastic Luxe new and vintage finds with you all…Arrivederci!
