Style Tip 6: New Trend: Man's Bowtie!

Hello Darlings! You heard it here first! Bow ties are the next hot thing! Believe it or not, bow chokers have been popular since the 18th century, and why not? Everyone cannot deny the charm of a good bow. It adds immediate feminity to boyish charm. I love to wear them with blazers, and a crisp white shirt. You can also wear them as chokers, with flowy dresses or blouses. The only thing to be careful are the accessories. A bow should not be over styled. Do not add too many accesories, or colors. This could make you come off looking like a clown. If a Bow tie is too much of a leap, try tying a cute little bow around your neck, it can be tight, or lose. I guarantee it will add immediate charm! Good luck. Xo maya

Style Tip 2: Styling the Little Black Dress

Hello darlings! We have all heard about the necessity of all girls, of any age to find that special, "Little black dress". But do we really know why it is so important? The truth is, it is extremely versatile, and it can be styled in every possible occasion. If you can only invest in one, I suggest going for a fabric that can go either day or night. Choose a shape that flatters your body type and not too long. Stay away from added embellishments such as beads, flowers, or decorations. The key is to pick a dress that is simple. If you follow these rules, you will get more opportunities to wear it. Casual day: Take your little black dress and match it with some sneakers, a cool scarf and matching bag. It is effortless cool, and you will be comfortable all day. If you want to dress down the look quickly, take a simple flannel shirt, wear it open, and sitch the waste with a belt. Date Night: The looks I have prepared, are great for business women who want a cool outfit that is sexy enough to go on a quick lunch date, or after work. A quick style tip, wear your most unique pumps and work your outfit around the shoe. The simplicity of the black dress will showcase the shoe and give immediate sex appeal. Special Occasion: If you pick a mini for your dress, you can simply add a longer, light weight skirt over it. This will add some length and give a more "formal" look. Have fun playing around with your Littleblack dress! Xo maya

Q&A Interview with Keaton Row Stylist: Maya Horikawa

 

Q: What one item in your wardrobe could you never live without, and why? 

 

A: My must have clothing item would be my Gucci, military jacket. It is cropped short, and is perfect for my body type. It can be styled casual, or formal, but always adds the perfect touch. 

 

Q: What's been your biggest investment piece thus far? What is one investment piece you hope to one day call your own? 

 

A: My biggest splurge would be my vintage Christian Lacroix, silk green coat. It is the most perfect coat to wear during a Autumn stroll in the park. I hope to one day add an Hermes Berkin Cream bag. They are such a timeless piece and the right touch of sophistication. 

 

Q: What is your universal style tip (something every woman can benefit from)? 

 

A: Quick Style Tip: Always consider the surroundings of the event you are dressing for. You may look great at home, but consider what your backdrop will be. Will you be at a gala event with mostly black tie? Then whip out some beautiful jewelry with a bold splash of color. Will you be strolling in the Autumn leaves for a romantic date? Then be sure to wear warm orange, brown, yellow, reds, and let your beauty be enhanced by the falling leaves around you!

 

Q: Where can we find you on a Saturday afternoon?

 

A: On Saturday afternoons, you can find me blogging in a cafe, with my labtop, favorite Valentino backpack , topbun, and sipping a Matcha Latte. Come say hi, and lets exchange style tips!
