Sophisticated Opening to the Venice Film Festival

The 69th annual Venice Film Festival has officially begun and the stars made their debuts both on and off the red carpet. The sleek, sophistication and glamour has been exuding from Italy, with celebrities like Naomi Watts and Kate Hudson mirroring each other’s feminine show stopping looks in soft color palettes. Both blonde beauties looked stunning in menswear inspired suits as well as looked ethereal in nude gowns.

Women’s Wear Daily Features Faraone Mennella’s Store Opening in Capri

Roberto Faraone Mennella and Amedeo Scognamiglio are the award-winning designer’s behind FARAONE MENNELLA by RFMAS. Inspired by their classical Italian heritage the two New York-based jewelers returned to Italy to opened their first store in Capri today and Women’s Wear Daily highlighted the grand step.

“Capri is the place where everything started,” said Roberto Faraone Mennella. “As Neapolitans, we spent our summers on the island, where our families have their holiday houses.”

“Our heritage is well-grounded in Capri where since childhood we have been influenced by its aesthetics, with bold colors and bejeweled ladies,” added Amedeo Scognamiglio.

Along with the “Signature” and the “Couture” collections, the store will carry a special line called “Viva Capri,” which includes gold rings, charms, bracelets and maxi earrings, in a tribute to the Sixties, Capri’s most glorious decade. This is just the beginning for the two, as they plan to expand to Milan and Brazil! Congrats!

Want To Get Away? Follow Omar On His Dream Getaway

We have reached our final destination! Join Omar on his relaxing dream vacation!

D&Y sunglasses and fedora, davidandyoung.com; MacBook Pro, apple.com; JuJuBe "Be Hip" Bag, ju-ju-be.com.

Who: Omar, Senior Account Executive: Fashion Department

Take Me Away To: Italy, ANYWHERE in Italy would be fine, but most likely on the coast of Bari. I’d stay at the rustic Malu’s B&B that was built in the most beautiful point of Polignano a Mare (better known as the Pearl of the Adriatic Sea). The rooms there have the most amazing ocean view! The cobalt blue sea and the taupe colored cliffs where the small town lies is just breathtaking. Such beauty. Such history. Two of my favorite things!

What’s In My Bag: A pair of D&Y‘s killer Aviator glasses to complement one of their classic fedoras. Every morning I’d awake to an authentic cappuccino and a sinfully delicious brioche.  Next it’s down to the beach to let the hours of relaxation ensue.  I would bring along my sleek Ju-Ju-Be “Be Hip” bag with me to carry my new Apple MacBook Pro down to the coast so I can post and upload all of the pictures I’ve taken and instantly share them with my friends back home and in the office.

Red Hot Denim

For Summer 2011, fashion has embraced color like no other! Paint your closet with colorful shades of red and other brilliant blush tones! Colored denim has been a continuous trend for the past few seasons, however, this summer is when both celebrities and designers fully began to embrace it.

A skinny and bright pant is the way to look chic and sleek in the summer sun. Different jean designers have introduced an array of flashy colors, such as J Brand, but red and burgundy totes seem to be the most popular.
