Helene M. Fashion Blog

Diane von Furstenberg first arrived in the fashion world in 1972 with her iconic wrap dress, the seed of what is today a full fashion house. By 1976, Diane had sold millions of her dresses, coming to symbolize female power and freedom to an entire generation. In 1997, after a hiatus from fashion, Diane reemerged on the New York fashion scene with the re-launch of the dress that had started it all and began transforming her company into the global luxury lifestyle brand it is today.

We adore her aesthetic, and normally have a long waiting list of customers to call when a shipment arrives. Come and check out the new pieces, and Happy 4th to our lovely customers!

Kenneth Jay Lane was first a shoe designer for Delman and Christian Dior and he used his free time to create fun and flashy baubles. They were such an instant success that Saks Fifth Avenue sold its entire initial inventory in one day. He has created unique designs for Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Vreeland, and Audrey Hepburn. He is probably most well known for his three-strand faux pearl necklace worn by Barbara Bush to her husband’s inaugural ball. Some say that Duchess of Windsor is buried in the jewelled belt he created for her. His continued philosophy is that ‘elegance, good taste and luxury never go out of style. Current stars wearing his jewelry include the Olsen twins, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mischa Barton, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears. Now find the newest delivery here at Helene M. !

It’s finally here, summer that is.  For those of us who live in New England this long awaited season brings a sense of pure joy, not to mention relief.  It’s a time we once and for all put away our layering pieces (at least for a couple of months) and just let loose.  Dare I say we may even put away those beloved jeans that have become a staple in our daily wardrobe…?  Its summer and we feel free, weightless, euphoric and just plain giddy.  Can you relate?

Ok, so since we are all fabulous women with loads of friends, it is inevitable that we will be invited to at least ONE wedding this summer… Or Five….. What’s a girl to do? There are so many options, & time of day, setting, and level of formality are all factors. Check out our suggestions.

Morning/Early afternoon/Outdoor wedding- Go for something, light, breezy, floral. A sundress with a matching cardigan is ideal. A lightweight linen pashmina wrap is also a great topper. Ideas below:

Evening wedding- any of the following options, or variations of, would be perfection. Pearls are a classic touch to ANY dress, as shown here. A bright pashmina lightens up a simple black dress.

Options for both day or night: Depending on how you accessorize, these could be worn at any hour. Wearing pants in a luxurious fabric such as satin or silk is perfectly acceptable, as long as you pair them with a fancy top as shown below.

When it comes to handbags at weddings, small and chic is the way to go, just big enough to carry a camera, compact, and your keys. The straw bag is fab for day, and the quilted metallic silver is a great option for day or night.

So once you have this covered, breath easy, enjoy the champagne, and have a blast… Cheers!
