“Picasso devoted three years to the shade, now designers have made blues a happy and stylish thing. Mix and match for a monochrome effect, or punctuate an already colorful ensemble with a fab pair of indigo or azure shoes. With looks so polished, one could consider this color the new black.” - Harper’s Bazaar

In the meantime, pretend you’re soaking up rays and enjoy our Monday playlist.
Although the holiday season typically conjures thoughts of snow-covered streets, frosty windows and crackling fireplaces, the weather recently has been borderline tropical in comparison. As we attempt to grapple with terrifying thoughts about the reality of global warming, we’re also faced with some hefty sartorial challenges. Let’s be real: It’s legitimately painful to watch people bust out their summer whites in the middle of December, no matter how high the temperature climbs. And while we have faith that our readers would never dare tread in that dangerous territory without gutsy Man-Repeller-esque intention, we were feeling more than a little baffled by what to do about this strange weather situation. So we came up with some provisional rules to guide ourselves (and the rest of the population) until more seasonal conditions resume.
1. Layers are key. Not everything on your body has to be flannel and/or buttoned up to the neck – those short sleeve shirts and tanks from the summer are quite handy right now under a sweater.
2. Go for dark colors. Even if you’re wearing a t-shirt, it will look seasonal in deep winter tones.

3. Wear rich textures. Linens and other gauzy materials are a total no-go right now, no matter how hot it gets.

4. Mix your spring/summer wardrobe with your fall/winter wardrobe. As long as you choose pieces that are not highly polarized toward either season and strike a balance, you can’t go wrong.

5. Keep your summer footwear in your closet. You can’t bust out your sandals. You really can’t bust out your espadrilles. And you most definitely cannot bust out anything summer white.
Ok so, about the holidays…that got crazy for a second there, right?? But this playlist is helping us get back into the swing of things. Check back every Monday for new tunes!
It’s no secret that, here at Hunter Dixon, we love Jenn Falik and her enviable and innate sense of style. From making high-profile television appearances to managing her blog and website, Jenn is known for consistently delivering quality fashion and beauty advice with a sunny disposition that gets people (including us!) excited about getting dressed in the morning. Check out Jenn’s video below on how to wear one of her favorite tops, the Hunter Dixon “Hazel” Blouse, on any occasion.
Hunter’s inspiration for the Spring 2012 collection came from the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. A little bit vintage, a little bit edgy and very California cool, our favorite looks have pops of color and fun textures like rope, pleats and silk. Here’s a peek at what went into the design process:
One thing led to another: inspiration became sketches, sketches became samples and samples became outfits…and then BAM – killer collection. Check out some of our favorite looks from the shoot:
With some help from an incredible team including director Shoji Van Kuzumi, stylist Kathryn Typaldos and hair and make-up artist Sokphalla Ban, Jen and Hunter took their newest designs to the street to create this awesome Spring 2012 Preview video – enjoy!
