    Ernest Alexander Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation for NYFW @ernestalexander @MBfashionweek

    I’ve got a soft spot for a well-dressed man (who doesn’t?) and so I’m always interested to know what’s going on in the men’s fashion world. And since Fashion Week just kicked off, I’m treated to sneak peeks of some of the best designers out there.

    The Ernest Alexander Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation was held this week in trendy Tribeca (side note: one of my fave NYC neighborhoods) where guests got to see this very exciting collection that takes inspiration from an “American gone abroad” and revisits founder and designer Ernest Sabine’s experience living in Venice and the midsummer nights he had in his youth.

    What does the collection include? Pretty much everything you want to see your handsome honey dressed in! Tailored pieces like double-breasted blazers, suits, outerwear, plus oh-so fine linen shorts, cotton shirts and the ultimate accessory: handsomely designed briefcases that feature camouflage prints and bold colors.

    Why I love this brand? Clean designs. Covetable colors. Out-of-the-box style.

    Gorgeous Sunkissed Ombre @DeBerardinis

    Growing out my hair has been a long process and I definitely needed some pampering! It seems like after years of having short hair, I forgot how to style my hair at all. I recently had the Baci Di Sole highlight service and my old ombre desperately need a touch up before Fashion Week. 

    This is a kind of Ombre technique that comes from Italy which offers gorgeous sun kissed highlights with a more natural effect.

    Before and After

    Adrian, the salon owner took the time to tease my hair all over and then frost the tips.

    His French Bulldog Rocco kept me company and patrolled the salon making everyone smile.

    My new beautiful ombre from DeBerardinis

    See the entire process below!

    Developed and perfected by Adrian and Giancarlo, this service is based on a technique imparted in Milan by world renowned hair disciple Aldo Coppola. This fast, natural looking lighting method has become the talk of New York City – made popular by Giselle Bundchen, Sarah Jessica Parker and “The City’s” Whitney Port.

    The result manifests a fashionable, highly sought after, “rooty” look that replicates the effects of hair that has been naturally drenched and lightened by the sun after summering on the Mediterranean.

    Our signature color service – Baci di Sole, often referred to as the “Sunkissed” service, is an alternate hair highlighting technique exclusive to De Berardinis Salons and is unique in all of North America.
