Sparkle This New Year’s Eve With a Killer Combination – The Dress, the Heels, & the Handbag

Sparkle your way into the new year. With the end of the year approaching, it’s time to say goodbye to all that has happened in 2012 and look to a new year full of new adventures. So what are your plans for the ever so infamous New Year’s Eve. Will you be going to a private party, attending an elegant roof top dinner, or perhaps hosting an event of your own? Whatever you decide, look stunning while doing it in the perfect dress, heels, and handbag. And remember while you’re putting your hot little number together, black is always sexy and sophisticated.

And if you’re like me, adding sparkle and shimmer to glamour up your outfit is a must. I swear I would wear sparkles everyday if it weren’t for the fact that I’d probably look ridiculous and like I was attending a party all the time. So, instead I take my favorite color to dress up in, black of course, and throw in some color and sparkles and voilà!

I do also like to mix and match styles a bit, maybe a vintage, twenties looking dress with edgier studded heels. Or even a bright colored pair of heels to pop against your black cocktail dress would do the trick.

Then it’s time to choose the evening bag. Which style fits you best? I know sometimes it depends on what your night entales. If you go out dancing maybe it’s best to have a long cross body strap and if you’re plans are a bit more relaxed like dinner, perhaps a clutch works best.

Take a look at these combinations of dresses, heels, and handbags for a bit of inspiration this New Year’s Eve. Best of luck!

Slow and Steady Doesn’t Always Win the Race But Simply Stunning Does

Turn heads this holiday season. It’s like I said, while slow and steady may not always win the race what does is simple and sophisticated. Let’s throw in a sexy while we’re at it, too. People love prints and wild clothing, something that stands out from the rest but sometimes, less is more. This is something I have come to realize and what a big difference it can make. We all know the people are always on the cutting edge of fashion, wearing something stunning yet just a bit the edge.  I love that style!  Especially when it comes to mixing my favorite fashion color with something as exciting and festive as the color Red, probably my second favorite fashion color.

Red leather gloves against the sophistication of a black leather handbag, wool jacket and cashmere scarf is almost literally like the cherry on top of a black forest chocolate cake . . . divine.  I willl be dressing my Holiday outfit with the classical touch of Christmas red and since I am heading back to sunshine all year long (instead of frost covered Florence, Tuscany) I am dreaming of an off the shoulder dress, black patent leather pumps and an easy to carry black leather handbag.  What will you be wearing this holiday?

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas From Pierotucci!

Marco Buggiani, a constant companion and going strong

Cont’d  Pierotucci is not made up of only leather craftsman!  We have a large showroom with all of our jackets, bags and accessories and in this shop we have an informed bi (and sometimes tri) lingual sales staff.  They are the ambassadors for Pierotucci and we depend on them to know the details of each bag as if they had made each one.  Since they are a little camera shy… we have enticed them to select their favorite bag.

Some come for the beauty of Italy and some never leave for the same reason.  Naoko landed in Italy to learn the language and has remained because . . . well does there always need to be a because.  She has been with Pierotucci for over three years and is extremely knowledgeable about all of our products.  When she isn’t organizing our leather accessory displays or selling handbags you can find her basking in the sun reading a good book.

Naoko chose one of our many Marco Buggiani bags . . . actually this is her bag and she chose it last year.  When I asked her why – she said, “I use it every day and it keeps its shape and hasn’t lost its color.”  Not only do these bags stand up to the constant wear but they are practical and a good bargain!  But what she really likes about her bag is that it has an outside pocket with a zipper.
