As we embark on 2020 I’d like to look back and review the biggest trends of 2019. It was the year of revival trends like oversized blazers, boilersuits, neon, tie dye, puff sleeves, and velcro sneakers. Accessories like headbands, scrunchies, pearl and rhinestone barrettes were front and center. Breakthrough brands were By Far, Rhode Resort, AGOLDE, Staud, Hemant and Nandita, Retrofete, Veja, Reformation, La Double J, Nanushka, Clergerie Rixo, Bronx & Banco, and Amur. Athleisure sneaker brands that spiked in popularity were Golden Goose, P448, and Veja (New Balance & Off White Arrow are big for 2020). Top legging brands included Alo, Ultracor, and Beyond Yoga. The top beauty tools last year were Dyson Supersonic Hair dryer and Hairwrap Styler, BaByliss Straightening iron. The top sunscreen products were Suntegrity, Coola, Elta MD, and Supergoop. So there you go 2019 in a nutshell!

 

 

I want to thank everyone for supporting my blog this year. I love hearing your feedback, comments, and suggestions as it helps me create better content. I have learned so much and continue to be inspired each and every day.

I’m closing out the year with the person that has been a big fixture on my blog in 2019. Last year it was Megan Markle and this year it’s Katie Holmes. She’s been one to watch with her infamous street style moment hailing a cab in her cashmere cardigan and bralette. New York City has been her personal runway expressing her effortless street style and stepping it up for her elegant red carpet ensembles. Some of my favorite looks listed below starting clockwise from the top left.

1. Asymmetric Black Mini Saint Laurent, Net-a-Porter. Look for less Reformation. See the whole look here.
2. Scarlet Oversized Puff Sleeve Cardigan Khaite, Bergdorf’s and Cashmere Bralette Khaite. Shoes are Suede Logo Mule Chloe, Net-a-Porter.
3. Espionage Silk Asymmetrical Dress Zimmermann, $370. ON SALE! See the whole look here.
4. Grant Knotted Wool Silk Blazer and Pants Gabriella Heart, Bergdorf Goodman.
5. Insaria Short Logo Sleeve Sweater Gucci, Net-a-Porter.
6. Red Chanel Tweed Jacket and jeans with Jimmy Choo  white pumps.
7. Teddy Bear Coat Max Mara, Net-a-Porter. Look for less BB Dakota, Revolve.
8. Satin Gown Philosophy Di Lorenzo, Moda Operandi. Boots are Zebra Print Calf Hair Khaite, Net-a-Porter.

Katie Holmes 2019 post recap Katie Krush, Katie, Perfect Black Dress, and Accidental Influencer.

Hope everyone had a happy holiday! We spent ours at home with family. I hosted Christmas Eve and cooked an asian feast. The menu consisted of braised short ribs, Kung Pao chicken, Vietnamese rice wraps (with peanut dipping sauce), papaya salad, and a Benihana inspired salad. The above picture is from our Christmas day hike. We hiked the Paseo Miramar trail. It’s a long one, 7 miles (with a lot of steep inclines) but has some of the best views in the city. Well worth the trek!
