Vera Wang Made my Favorite Piece

A Favorite Piece: My Vera Wang + Swarovski Couture Belt

While working for Vera Wang in Boston, I had access to some of the most beautiful pieces. One of my favorites is this gorgeous belt that was given to me as a gift from corporate. It is made with hand-sewn Swarovski crystal and fits like a glove. Not only is it fabulous… it’s versatile.

Made to size with two snaps, and a bit of stretch, this is my go-to accessory for many outfits. Traditionally it was sold to be worn with a wedding gown, but I have always worn it with ready-to-wear ensembles. This belt can give a plain dress some sparkle or an elegant gown some punch!

I wear it the way SJP wore her spike belt throughout the first Sex and the City film. It’s a timeless piece that I know I’ll cherish forever. Who knows… maybe I’ll wear it when I get married in honor of my idol, Ms. Vera Wang!

TSO + PARKER
As a marketing manager, branding/PR professional and writer I am constantly looking for something to write with. As a stylist, it has to be fabulous.

When PARKER Pens gave me my gorgeous Ingenuity Slim in pearl with pink gold trim, it was more like a glamorous piece of jewelry than a writing instrument… I was hooked.

I love using it when doing interviews, jotting down ideas for articles and creating illustrations. Now, we want to give you all the chance to have one too! PARKER Pens is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year and, if I may say, this is their best collection yet.

Good luck Stylish Ones!

Love,

Julie
