Style Crush....Mimi DeBlasio

1/24/2014

There are some women that are so chic, so cool and so loving inside and out that not only do I crush on their style but they rise in my eyes to stature of Role Model. Someone I want to be very much like...If Only...and Mimi is one of them. Her hair, super long blonde with no doubt grey mixed in, red lips, sunglasses, big smile a complete ethereal mix. The amazing wine her and her husband Bret Lopez of Scarecrow make seems to have the magic of OZ, the spirit of Dorothy and the Good Witch all in one. And they live down my Yellow Brick Road.

A visitor at Scarecrow getting a bit of Mimi's Warmth + Cool Style.

Mimi's personal style consists of an engaging smile, sunglasses, red lips, an abundance of handmade jewelry, mostly of her own design.

Tips on how to get Her Look are below... but her spirit...is not so easily had....Time is needed to cultivate one's inner BoHo Goddess. Tips... become a traveler, seek adventure...embrace the beauty that is all around. Be humble mix the authentic with the heavenly....Let Your Love Flow.

These ethereal sunglasses by Dior scream Mimi.

Green nails, her shade is similar but her nails are pointier and have a design as well. But this gives one an idea. No shy hands here.

Jodhpurs have always been Mimi's thing. Anyone with great personal style has pieces that they've worn forever. They don't change just because a trend has moved on. Check out these Rag + Bone for Spring 2014.

The Mimi Clutch. $275

Celine Birkenstocks...I don't know if Mimi actually owns a pair but I would bet the Farm these could be her toes.

Lot's of Fab Styles to choose from...and if I know Mimi only the real deal will do. But she is smart enough to also check out the Zara's and Steve Madden's of the world.

Camel Coat Crush ..

A good camel coat, perfectly cut, preferably in cashmere is a requisite piece in a stylish woman's wardrobe.

Stella McCartney Double Breasted Camel Coat, Love it with Black and White.

Jenna Lyons, J. Crew style maven, rocks this, menswear inspired classic with ripped jeans, sexy heels and a silver metallic bag. High/Low.

Michael Kors oversized wrap camel coat,

A shorter version with a grey cable sweater. Perfection.

Camel and Black...Platinum and dark glasses.

When searching for a classic piece one has 2 options.
1. Buy a gently used one that is beautifully cut and made of superior materials. Ebay, Consignment or Vintage shops are good places to search.
2. Invest in the best new one you can afford. If you can not afford quality choose option 1. Better designer slightly used than new and inferior.

Burberry Camel Wrap on Ebay $99

Women's Vintage Calvin Klein on Ebay $50

J. Crew Designer Collection $1,800.

This NYGIRLINNAPAVALLEY often waxes poetic about missing city life. With a Polar Vortex happening back East I am seeing the lovely Valley with new eyes.
