This season, a coat is not only an accessory, it's a necessity! If you are lucky enough to be in a warm climate this month - lucky you!

OFF THE SHELVES - & RIGHT ON TREND!
2014 is bound to be a palette cleanser with color blocks and silhouettes that are less costume-like, with more lifestyle simplicity. We saw a Gatsby era tribute to the 1920's and 30's in the last few years, but the next trend celebrates earlier looks of the 20's created by the likes of Coco Chanel and other designers giving women freedom from corseted tailoring. Think comfortable cardigans and over the knee skirts of silk, wool, or cashmere. 
Chloe, Salvatore Ferragamo, & Reed Krakoff - Colorblock in the new year! Vogue Magazine's January feature - Razor's Edge shot by David Sims takes focus on pleated skirts of all varieties. A soft Blush palette from Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Dior, and Christopher Kane, are feminine, slightly bohemian, and easy to wear.
Carrying on the soft Color concept for Spring 2014 is Elle Magazine's "Block Party" featuring the best color blocked bags of the season. Salvatore Ferragamo's Sofia in Peach, Bisque, and Cream is a breath of fresh air for any Spring wardrobe! Another black bag just seems so 2013 when there are so many colorful options in the new year. Additionally, a mix of color has never been more relevant. Combining two or three colors has become a new neutral.
**Take the opportunity to introduce new looks into every shoppers wardrobe. The new year is a great time to turn over a new fashion leaf. Nothing can boost your ego like a whole new look!

LEGACY OF LUXURY - CJ TAKES CENTER STAGE
When speaking of jewelry in the world of luxury fashion, it might surprise some that often the conversation is about Costume Jewelry. We've talked about the relevance of Costume Jewelry or CJ before - but never has the category 
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO CJ CUFF IN ELLE MAGAZINEbeen more highlighted and editorialized than right now. While the biggest names in fashion have Fine Jewelry collections, it's the CJ that has become one of the hottest accessory categories.
As with most collections, Salvatore Ferragamo is among an elite few that creates handcrafted costume jewelry in the same manner it creates fine jewelry or fine leather goods. Made in Italy quality is probably most evident in an item like costume jewelry. The small details speak for themselves. It is amazing to see the editorial coverage that one bracelet from the Spring Collection has received month after month. Lucite and color blocking have made this cuff the star of countless magazine spreads. Let this one item be a reminder that CJ is an excellent suggestion for any gift giver, or a whole new accessory category for the fashion forward shopper.
