Beat the Heat!

category Interviews // Office Style

It’s hot.  We know.  But as they say, necessity is the mother of invention, and I think we can all agree that a refreshing drink is just what we need.  Thankfully Kat, from our New York store, has a crazy delicious recipe for a summertime thirst quencher!  Check out our DV girl’s super simple recipe for a uniquely sweet (and dairy-free!) drink that’s sure to make you go “ahhhh…” 

Sunset Affogato

-Lemonade
-1 scoop of Ciao Bella Blood Orange Sorbet
-a pinch of cinnamon (caution: a little bit of this spice goes a long way!)

Pour lemonade into your favorite drink glass.  Add a pinch of cinnamon to lemonade and stir thoroughly. Last, add a scoop of Ciao Bella Blood Orange Sorbet, pop in a straw, and enjoy this citrus spin on a classic Italian treat!

Favorite Fall Trends: Black and White

category Apparel // Fashion

As much as I hate to admit it, summer is almost over.  No more laying out, playing in the water, short dresses and fruity drinks.  Well, I’m holding on to the fruity drinks.  But it’s okay, bring on rainy gloomy weather, because we’ve got a whole new season of trends to play with!  Consider this your back-to-school-shopping-for-big-kids guide.

Gracing the runways and street style alike, black and white patterns allow for fun with pattern-mixing done right in a subdued palette.  Who says the fun has to stop when the temperature drops?

 

Lucky for you, DV by Dolce Vita has some killer options so you can rock this trend too!  Try pairing the Orlla Blouse with the Charla Lace Shorts from our fall collection.

DV Loves: Vanessa Mooney!

category Apparel // Friends

Lately it seems that when we’re not obsessing over our new fall booties, we’re gushing over Vanessa Mooney’s eclectic and crush-worthy jewelry! The downtown LA designer has garnered a significant celebrity fanbase for her travel-inspired accessories whose luxe metallics and eye-catching colors effortlessly make any outfit pop.


A few of our personal favorites! Metallic Misfit bracelets, Bead it! Bracelet, The Max Necklace

 

Mooney’s boho-glam pieces have been a long-time favorite among shoppers at our NYC store, so naturally we just had to get our hands on her collection to incorporate into our pre-spring 2013 apparel lookbook! Check out a sneak peek of the lookbook below and get your hands on some Vanessa Mooney bling here!

Totally Tori

category Behind the Scenes // Interviews

In an office of fashionable girls (and a few, outnumbered guys), we see some fabulous ensembles on the daily.  There’s a wide range of styles here, but Tori for sure owns the edgy rock & roll look with ease.  She’s not afraid of color (hello, her hair is currently teal and was lilac before) and describes her style as “shiny, leopard, glitter, leather!”  We recently got the chance to get to know this sassy gal even better!
