I'm loving this young woman's look with her polka dot pants and beautifully tailored blazer. Her accessories are really what caught my eye. Her scarf reminds me of de*nada's zip scarf with pockets and fringe. Our knitted fingerless gloves are similar to this girl's black leather ones. Overall, I think she looks trés chic!

Sincerely,

Emily (Intern)

behind the scenes: product photo shoot.



Courtesy of TPWP Guide



Hey everyone!

This past Sunday was de*nada's product photo shoot for our new Fall/Winter 2011 line. What a busy, yet fun day it was!

We started the day off bright and early at 9 am.  We rounded up an awesome team of people, who we could not thank enough for helping us making this shoot so successful! Before the camera started flashing away, our stylist Carla, of TPWP Guide, hand picked the wardrobe for our two models, Derrick and Daria. Emily G. (Intern) assisted with steaming the products and prepping the wardrobe so it was camera ready. Akemi, our makeup artist and hair stylist, dolled up the models with light, natural looking makeup and casual hair. Our photographer Marshall, of TPWP Guide, shot absolutely beautiful photos of the models in our 28 product looks.  Derrick modeled the unisex looks while Daria modeled our female ones. Virginia was busy approving every single shot taken of the line and helping Carla style each look. Meanwhile, Emily J. (Intern) was snapping away with her camera capturing the behind the scenes action.  It was a long day, but we pushed through and came out with a really fantastic shoot!

We would like to thank again photographer Marshall and stylist Carla of TPWP Guide, makeup and hair stylist Akemi, models Derrick and Daria, and interns Emily G. and Emily J.! You all did a fabulous job and we could not have accomplished this with out you!

The new product photos are expected to debut on de*nada's online store with in the next couple of weeks. Make sure to keep an eye out for them!

Always,

We at  de*nada are inspired by stunning actress, Zoe Saldana and her impeccable style.  Whether she's walking down a red carpet or walking down the street, she always looks effortlessly chic.  Zoe takes looks from the runway and makes them her own.  She isn't afraid to take risks and have fun with fashion.  We adore Zoe's casual street style and love of scarves.  Adding a simple scarf can really transform an outfit.  We think she'd look great in our super soft braided roped scarf!

trends we love: beanies.


From: De*Nada


A top accessory trend for Fall 2011 is the beanie, a brimless hat close fitting to the head.  The beanie is an unisex style that looks good on just about anyone.  The top photo is right off the Karen Walker Fall 2011 Runway.  Pictured below is de*nada's slouch beanie. Our super soft slouch beanie is the perfect hat to keep your head warm in these upcoming colder months.

must have monday: trench coat + hooded cowl web.

From: Nordstrom

From: De*Nada


The trench coat is a classic, timeless piece that everyone should have in his or her wardrobe.  The trench is not only functional, it's most certainly fashionable.  It is perfect for the upcoming cooler fall weather. To transition the trench from fall to winter, you can accessorize this piece with de*nada's Hooded Cowl Web.  Trench coats are normally hoodless, so adding the hooded cowl will give you that extra warmth needed in the chilly winter months.  

Until next time,

style spotlight: nyc.

Borrowed from: Swagger New York

At de*nada, we are inspired by countless things, especially everyday people. We love looking at all the fascinating styles people are wearing in various cities all across the globe.  

We love this girl's bright red dress because it looks so lovely against her porcelain skin and her dark locks. Her layered necklaces and Jeffrey Campbell leather booties are an excellent way to accessorize this outfit. The matching red lips pull the whole look together.   

With love,
