As we combed the market of late one color kept jumping out at us over, or perhaps more accurately it should be stated one “lack of color” kept jumping out at us over & over again…. White! Normally, this time of the year, we’re busy trying to determine which shade of Pink, or Blue, or Yellow will be the go-to color of choice to let everyone know that you got the fashion memo of the season. But Spring 2024 is looking like the best color of all may just be no color at all!
We’ve made a few of our favorite picks here to get you started… but worry not, White is everywhere this season, so you’ll have no issues finding it… unless of course it’s already sold out like the T-shirt I tried to buy last weekend for my son…
Remo Tulliani
Belts are Remo Tulliani’s first love & take if from someone who literally has 20 Remo belts in my drawer, there’s a reason that his audience follows his every fashion move like a cult. There’s something about a Remo belt that will make your forget every other one in your drawer, like the Red one that I’ve been wearing almost everyday for the last year to give every ensemble a pop of color where least expected. Remo’s not going to be left out of the season’s hottest trend with his Sylvio belt, shown above in what he calls Champagne. Genuine calfskin with etched surface detailing, & brushed nickel hardware, each Remo belt is assembled to order by the maestro himself. Yes, Remo personally gets involved with each belt he makes! Why? Because…
Ladies, you’ll not be left out either… he has a range for women as well.
One insiders’ note, Remo’s sizing tends to run a bit on the small size, so I’d recommend ordering 2″ larger than your normal pant waist size (for example: 34″ pant should order a 36″ belt). Also… he makes some of the finest Sunglasses in the market too… & socks… & a book… Check him out,,,

Hollister
The go-to brand for teens of the 1990s was no doubt Hollister. Then, as with all brands of youth, they move on. Well, guess what? Hollister is back & in a big way!!!
Season after season of late, Hollister has been catching our editing eye with styles that consistently make us stop & take notice. But lately, something amazing is happening… we’re seeing kids all over the street wearing the label’s novelty printed graphic t-shirts & sweatshirt… literally, everywhere we look. We have no doubt that this spring, we’ll be seeing this graphic printed jacket on the fashionable set on any given Friday or Saturday night heading to a club near you. Do kids of today go to “clubs”???

Ivy Cove

Ivy spent her life creating many of the most iconic leather accessories from most of the world’s most prestigious brands you can imagine, but…. shhhhhhhh…. she’s under strict NDA’s to not share ANY details.
So, she’s put her life of knowledge into creating Ivy Cove, a brand of some of the most refreshingly modern, thoughtfully confected pieces on the fashion market today. With a full range for women, men, children, pets, & home, Ivy Cove has something for everyone & will without a doubt be your new “go-to” source for every gift you need for seasons to come.

Cougar
There’s always a good chance that comfort shoe house Cougar will make your list of your favorite shoes for any given season. While many associate Cougar with boots, reality is they have a full range of styles that make them a fashionable choice for any season & for nearly any occasion.
These sneakers can hold their own in any battle with the bigger, more well-known sneaker houses, & may even beat their competition when it comes to fashion factor. The novel stitching around the soles calls to mind the classic summer espadrille, but there’s no question these are more function than any espadrille can ever be! Oh, by the way… they’re waterproof too!

Mavi Jeans
Mavi Jeans have been one of Turkey’s most fashionable exports since they first blasted onto the fashion scene a decade or so ago. Their colors are so unique & their washes are so buttery soft that you’ll feel as if every Mavi piece has been in your closet for decades from the first wear.
For Spring 2024, however, our eye is drawn towards this pure White denim jacket that is cut in the classic denim jacket silhouette, but just absent the Indigo dye. Pair it with a classic Indigo jean like shown here or dress it up with any other skirt or pant in your wardrobe, regardless of the color to be completely trend right & 100% comfortable all summer long.

Andre Assous
These wedge heeled slide sandals with raffia fringe detailing are just stylish enough to get you noticed, but not crazy that they only match an outfit or two.
