Editors’ Picks: Five Fashion Collaborations Taking Spring 2025 by Storm

March 7, 2025 by Leave a Comment

This spring, cult classic, function-forward brands like The North Face, Barbour, and HOKA, are joining forces with brands like Cecilie Bahnsen, ERDEM, and Marni to fuse practicality with pretty. Other collaborations have their finger on the pulse of what is trending this season. A resurgence from one designer, and a collaboration with this spring’s hottest television show from another. Just in time for the vernal equinox, these collaborations will have you outfitted in the season’s best trends.

Cecilie Bahnsen X The North Face

Juxtaposition is always in fashion, and it has the best shock value when it comes to fashion collaborations. Take The North Face, an American outdoor clothing brand that has been long known for its weather-wicking gear best suited for bracing the elements. In contrast, Cecilie Bahnsen is a Danish womenswear brand known for using hyper-feminine, romantic, and delicately designed pieces. This spring, the two brands are blending The North Face’s expert technology with Bahnsen’s feminine flair for a delightfully fun collection of weather-proofed jackets, flouncy dresses, and accessories.

Sometimes, a fashion collaboration has the power to resurrect a beloved brand. After nearly two years since Christopher Kane closed the doors to his namesake brand, he is teaming up with London’s Self-portrait for a collection that feels very “Kane.” Inspiration was evidently gleaned from Christopher Kane’s spring 2007 collection. The color palette takes a much more muted approach than that of yesteryear, but harkens back to similar silhouettes and textures from 2007.

Marni X HOKA

The sportswear fashion girlies are excited about this one! Marni X Hoka is a shining example of function and fashion. Italian luxury brand Marni is not one to shy away from boldness. Bright colors, graphics, and textural contrasts are all hallmarks. Hoka, similarly playful in color and design, is a cult favorite for athletic sneaker lovers. The co-designed BONDI B3LS sneakers, will be available in four colorways: Poinciana (red), Bracken (charcoal), Tourmaline (blue), and Straw (beige).

Barbour x ERDEM

Going back to juxtaposition in fashion, we see it again with this splendid joining of English brands ERDEM and Barbour. ERDEM is another hyper-romantic womenswear brand created known for an emphasis on intricate floral and lacy motifs. Barbour is a classic, iconically British heritage brand known for its foolproof, weatherproof outerwear; namely the waxed cotton jacket.

In this collaboration, ERDEM’s feminine silhouettes introduce themselves to Barbour’s classic jacket. The collection features playful and peplum versions of the beloved British closet staple.

The White Lotus X CAMILLA

Every year that a new season of “The White Lotus” is released, it inspires quite a chorus of discussion regarding the mystery of the given season, but perhaps this season, the discourse will see an uptick in conversations about fashion, thanks to this collaboration. Australian swimwear brand CAMILLA partnered with the show team to create a collection of beachwear, fit for Thailand, where the show takes place this season. The CAMILLA team tapped Lezio Lopes, the Sydney-based artist behind the famous opening credits in seasons one and two.

March 3, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Spring is the season of renewal, and what better way to refresh your beauty routine than with some of the most exciting new launches and updated favorites? From luminous primers to long-lasting eyeliners, these must-have beauty products will have you looking effortlessly radiant all season long.

Burberry Beyond Radiance: The Glow-Boosting Primer

If you’re after that lit-from-within glow, Burberry Beyond Radiance is your new secret weapon. This lightweight, 80% water-based primer hydrates like a serum while delivering a beautiful glow that instantly brightens and evens out your complexion. The infusion of vitamin F from safflower oil locks in moisture, while antioxidants like rosa damascena and Darjeeling tea leaf extract provide environmental protection with anti-pollution benefits. Whether worn alone or under foundation, this oil-free, non-comedogenic primer creates a radiant, flawless base for any look.

Gucci Blush De Beauté: Your Multi-Use Pop of Color

Gucci’s first-ever powder blush is everything you need for a fresh, healthy flush. The buttery-soft formula blends effortlessly, thanks to emollient waxes and smoothing powders, while skin-loving ingredients like Shea Butter, Hyaluronic Acid, and Black Rose Oil keep your cheeks hydrated. The buildable pigment means you can go for a soft hint of color or layer it up for a bold, sculpted effect. Plus, it doubles as an eye shadow, making it a versatile addition to any makeup bag for on-the-go touchups.

Urban Decay All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Setting Spray: The Ultimate Glow Lock

Lock in your makeup with a radiant finish that lasts all day for truly “juicy” looking skin. Urban Decay’s All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Setting Spray keeps your look fresh for up to 16 hours while delivering all-day hydration. Infused with hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract, it plumps the skin, prevents makeup meltdowns, and leaves behind a dewy, luminous glow. The fresh watermelon scent will have you dreaming of summer. The micro-mist spray ensures an even application, and the waterproof, smudge-proof and transfer resistant formula guarantees your glam stays put all day and night without cracking, fading or flaking.

Burberry Eye Quad: A Chic, Everyday Essential

For an effortless yet striking eye look, the Burberry Eye Quad in Midnight No. 04 is a must. Inspired by classic Burberry heritage hues, this palette features four complementary shades that are richly pigmented, long-lasting, and blend beautifully with minimal fallout. Beginner friendly with four colors that can easily be mixed and matched to create dozens of looks for night or day.  The compact comes in the brand’s signature beige and gold case, complete with a mirror and applicator, making it the perfect luxury staple for on-the-go glam and one you’ll be proud to display on your vanity.

 

Revlon ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion: All-Over Radiance

Get ready to glow—literally, from head to toe. The Revlon ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion hydrates while delivering a natural, all-over luminosity. Infused with glycerin and superfruit extracts, this 80% water-infused gel formula provides a refreshing feel to the skin without the greasiness.  You’ll also love the fresh coconut scent, and four radiant shades all equipped with ultra-refined pearls for a multi-dimensional glow, which you can wear all over. 

Whether used alone, mixed with foundation, or applied as a highlighter or bronzer, this versatile glow-enhancer is a runway favorite—celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo used it to create a radiant, dewy finish for Christian Siriano’s New York Fashion Week show just last month  Oquendo explained he drenched the models in Face + Body Glow lotion in two shades mixed together with a blush brush to really make their skin shine.

Gucci Mascara Le Magnétisme: The Luxe Lash Lift

Lashes that mesmerize? Yes, please! Gucci’s Mascara Le Magnétisme delivers voluminous, fanned-out, curled lashes. The formula provides a weightless, creamy texture. The curved brush with spikes in different lengths ensures both volume and curl while capturing even the thinnest lashes, while the black and blue pigment blend intensifies lash definition.

The smudge-proof, flake-resistant formula stays put for up to 12 hours without clumping, making it a beauty essential. The sleek black tube with a gold Gucci logo adds an extra touch of sophistication and a little something special.

Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips: The Ultimate Statement Lip

Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips in Secret Salma is a deep rose-plum shade inspired by Salma Hayek, designed to complement brown eyes beautifully. This modern matte lipstick hydrates with Lipstick Tree Extract and Vitamin E, ensuring long-lasting color and a cashmere-soft finish. The square-angled tip is ideal for precise application, while 3D glowing pigments create the illusion of fuller, more luminous lips. Plus, the iconic rose-gold tube is as Insta-worthy as it gets!

Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Longwear Gel Eyeliner: Precision Meets Performance

For a rich, ultra-smooth eyeliner that glides on effortlessly, Rare Beauty’s Perfect Strokes Longwear Gel Eyeliner is a game-changer. This waterproof, smudge-proof formula lasts all day—even on the waterline—while staying creamy enough to blend before it sets without tugging or skipping (making it great for those who are less confident applying eyeliner.)

Available in True Black, True Brown, and Compassion (a chic burgundy), this twist-up pencil includes a built-in sharpener for a precise application every time. Both Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist-tested and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, this is the ultimate liner for drama and definition.

With these beauty must-haves, your spring makeup routine is about to get a serious upgrade. Whether you’re aiming for a dewy, glowing complexion, bold color, or effortlessly chic eye looks, these products are guaranteed to keep you looking fresh, flawless, and fabulous, all season long and well into summer!

2025 Red-Carpet Trends that Stun and Dazzle

January 25, 2025 by Leave a Comment

It’s 2025 and it is another Red-Carpet Award season and Fashion Reverie is bringing you the best looks from the carpet. From the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards to the Critics’ Choice Awards and the Grammys, the carpets are where all the action takes place.

Images courtesy of Amy Sussman/Getty Images

White always looks amazing on the red carpet and is trend on. Actress Auli’i Cravalho looked white hot in a House of Giles corseted and sheer couture gown. She’s giving the Goddess attributes.

Images courtesy of Norma Kamali and Louis Vuitton

Black and White gowns are having a moment on the red carpet. Cynthia Erivo in a black and white lace with paniers by Louis Vuitton. This is a showstopper and head turner! Check out this Norma Kamali gown. It’s perfect for the ladies who are not totally ready to commit to the exaggerated hips trend.

Images courtesy of Saint Laurent

Zoe Saldana wows in a chocolate, sequin gown with a plunging neckline and high front split by Saint Laurent. Normally this can run on the tacky side, but it simply looks amazing on her! A few shades darker than our 2025 Pantone color of the year, Mocha Mousse. This color on her skin with a plethora of sequins makes her glow.

Image courtesy of reddit.com

These metallic gowns are the trend that keeps on giving. Mindy Kaling stuns in a gold, metallic gown by Ashi Studios. Strapless with thigh-high splits covered in crystals is exactly what we want to see on the red carpet!

Image courtesy of LOEWE

But there were some other looks serving on the carpet and those were pant suits and jumpers! Peep Ayo Edebiri on the carpet in a gray pant suit by LOEWE and skinny gold metallic tie. Masculine and Feminine – Yin and Yang! Simply gorgeous!

Images courtesy of Pamella Roland and Schiaparelli

Naomi Watts in Schiaparelli channeling her inner Babe Paley and looks amazing on the red carpet. This black strapless, pleated ombre number is killer and so unexpected. We love the white pastel ombre against the black and had to find an option for you to rock. Simply put, this gown is a piece of Art!  Check out this strapless Pamella Roland option in red.

So now that we have our options covered, we need some shoes … and we need some Italian luxury brand shoes … Casadei report to the carpet please. Fashion Reverie loves Casadei. Whether you are a platform chunky heel girl or a nude, classic sling back girlie, the brand has the perfect pump for you. The nude pumps are neutral and will work with everything (well, almost). The platforms are sky high but have a cushion platform to make it easier for you to strike a pose in.           

Images courtesy of ANTY

What’s the final touch? So glad you asked! Jewels and I mean Statement Jewels! ANTY‘s latest jewelry collection, which reimagines the power and elegance of ancient Egypt for the modern wearer. Recently, Fashion Reverie had the opportunity to take an exclusive look at their latest 18K fine jewelry collection “Pharoah’s Grace.” It’s the piece de resistance to seal the red-carpet magic.

Editors’ Pick: A Ladies’ Winter Wonderland of Fashion

January 16, 2025 by Leave a Comment

When Winter rolls in, it’s not just about staying warm—it’s about looking effortlessly chic while keeping the chill out. Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa spiked with Baileys at a ski lodge in a cashmere sweater and a glittering mini skirt or making heads turn on the slopes in a Moncler puffer–or a slightly more affordable alternative, every cold-weather moment is an opportunity for a fashion statement. For this article Fashion Reverie has pulled together everything that screams après-ski glam–because nothing says ‘I belong here’ quite like a perfectly curated winter ensemble.

And let’s not forget the non-athletic Winter moments we all crave. If a winter party is on your docket this season, we know just what you should wear–a glittering dress and some heels. For a snowy walk—because we must romanticize our lives—a cozy coat draped over a creamy sweater set and some jeans will do the trick. And when it is time for a girls’ night, embrace your playful, feminine side with a satin dress and a stunning pink feather coat from Nana Jacqueline. Winter, darling, is not a season—it’s a style showcase.


The Ski Lodge: Jenni Kayne Cashmere ($195) Fran Skirt ($158)

For the coziest and chicest outfit to wear by the fireside, Fashion Reverie recommends a pair the Jenni Kayne ‘everyday sweater’ with Show me your Mumu’s sparkling, fur faux skirt. This outfit adds the perfect amount of drama to your ski lodge look, without doing too much. Complete the look with your choice of footwear. Fashion Reverie recommends you keep it cozy with a pair of warm shearling-lined boots or channel a Park Avenue meets Aspen-vibe with chic flats that prove you just came for these snowy pictures and the lodge’s spa.

Hitting the Slopes: Alo Winter Long Sleeve ($128) Half Days Soft Ski Pants ($285)

Yes, you could drop $4,000 on a Moncler ski suit and pray no one spills their spiked hot chocolate on you—but let’s be real, looking fabulous doesn’t have to come with a mortgage payment. Instead, start with Alo Yoga’s winter long sleeve, a sleek, moisture-wicking base layer that keeps you warm without the bulk (because Michelin Man chic is not the goal). Pair it with Halfdays’ Emma softshell ski pants, the perfect blend of stretch, and warmth—whether you’re carving down black diamonds or just posing for Instagram pics.

Winter Party: Aqua X Wicked Bubble ($118) Penely Sandal ($119)

Winter may be cold, but your outfit doesn’t have to be. Pair the flirty bubble dress from the Aqua x Wicked Collection with Vince Camuto’s pink feather heels for a fiery Winter party look. From the voluminous silhouette of the dress and fluffy feathers on your toes, nothing says I’m the main character more. Just be sure to grab a luxe faux fur stole before stepping outside—because elegance is freezing, but at least you’ll look stunning while you shiver.

 

Winter Walk: Vermont Sherpa Wrap ($280) Veronica Beard Flare Jeans ($298)

A winter walk is less about exercise and more about pretending you’re a born-again snow angel. In this outfit, the Veronica Beard flare jeans bring just the right amount of vintage cool, elongating your legs while still being practical (read: they fit over your warmest socks when the temperature hits freezing).

 After putting on a cozy sweater, bundle yourself in the Vermont Sherpa wrap coat, a rich burgundy-brown dream that looks like it was made for strolling through a snow-dusted town while contemplating something poetic. Finish the look with a pair of warm, snow-ready boots—because as glamorous as this walk may be, no one looks chic slipping on ice.

Images courtesy of the respective brands

Girls’ Night: Nana Jacqueline Pink Feather Coat ($510) Reformation Pike Satin Dress ($248)

The Nana Jacqueline Angelica feather coat is pure, unfiltered drama—the kind that turns sidewalks into runways and makes every entrance feel like a movie moment. Underneath, the Reformation Pike satin dress brings the perfect balance of sultry and sophisticated, because what’s a night out without a little satin shine? Finish the look with the Vince Camuto Penely pink feather heels from earlier because you might as well go all out.

Ladies’ Winter Coat Trends for the Winter 2025 Season

December 19, 2024 by Leave a Comment

The meteorologists are predicting a winter season filled with snow, rain and freezing temperatures and you are going to need a coat – and I mean a real coat! We know that a heavy, bulky coat is going to kill your fab, fashion esthetic. Not with these stylish coats that we have assembled for your viewing pleasure. Fashion Reverie has options that it’s going be impossible to resist.

Shearling coats are perfect to pair with jeans, a turtleneck, and boots. Whether you are purchasing from your local thrift or consignment shop for the perfect shearling that stops at your waist or a vintage shearling in your mother or grandmothers’ closet, what’s old is new again. Check out this reversible, shearling jacket by Maje.

Plaid coats fade away but always come back around. When we see a classic, gorgeous plaid, especially a red and black plaid coat, all you can do is smile. It’s a classic piece that will never go out of style. Check out this plaid coat by Morgan Clifford coat as seen on Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and author Rachel Platten.

The scarf coat is a great option for those who want a clean look. The scarf is attached to the coat so throw it around your neck, add your gloves, and hat and head out the door. This Erdem coat is a splurge but worth every dollar.

The oversized trench coat is a must have! You can shop the men in your life closets but why when you can head on over to Banana Republic and check out their latest collection made in Italy with a high neck collar. Plus, for a little razzle dazzle they have epaulets and storm flaps. Get it in transition cream white.

Cropped puffer coats are ideal for the city chic girl jumping on and off the train or in and out of Ubers. Short and to the waist providing maximum comfort and style. This coat will keep you warm and cute. Check out this little number by TUMI. This down filled, quilted, cropped puffer coat will be sure to turn heads.

Anyone remember barn jackets? Fashion Reverie does. Originally created for the French working class but still stylish for modern-day farmers and railroad workers to protect you from the cold, rain, and snow.  Fashion Reverie has its eye on this collaboration barn jacket by Barbour x GANNI in waxed leopard print that we just know is going to be a collector’s item!!

Images courtesy of the respective brands

The leather coat is a classic that just keeps on giving with so many options. Choose a neon color or patent leather, with fur or Persian lamb. Fashion Reverie gathered a few leather coats to select from. Bombers, biker, distressed oh my … choices galore from Diesel, Vince, and Prada.

Editors’ Picks: Seven Small, Luxurious (and affordable!) Stocking Stuffer Ideas

December 14, 2024 by Leave a Comment

The bells are ringing, the stars are twinkling, and cars are now officially carrying Christmas trees back to their respective yearly positions by the fireplace. In other words, it’s officially the Christmas season! As we enter the holiday season, treat your loved ones (or yourself) to a simple luxury added to a stocking.

From beautiful candles and lip balms to luxurious skincare and even a beautiful scarf for him—Fashion Reverie has you covered. Each of the elegant and sophisticated items are sure to make everyone shout with joy as these stuffers are pulled out of stockings on Christmas Day.

Nanor Collection’s Travel Candles–$20

Fashion Reverie knows there is nothing quite like opening and lighting a fresh candle on Christmas Day. If you happen to be traveling this holiday season, Nanor made it even easier with a beautiful travel collection of candles. With each product made out of soy wax, cruelty-free, and entirely sustainable, it’s impossible to not fall for their sweet scents.

Delight Naturals–$4

Another fantastic and easy option to add to a Christmas stocking is an all-natural set of chapsticks. This is excellent for the winter season when chapped lips become as common as family fights over spiked eggnog. Fashion Reverie’s favorite? Delight Naturals! A female-owned brand with holiday-themed scents to help us feel extra cozy this season.

Michael Andrews Bespoke Black and White Polka Dot Men’s Scarf –$129

When it comes to the holidays, The Night Before Christmas isn’t the only story circulating around. If you’re a man, or happen to be shopping for a man, how many times have you been told that men are impossible to shop for? And look, the ones out in their tool shed all day might pose a bit of trouble … but for the fashionable gentleman in your life, this scarf from Michael Andrews Bespoke is tres magnifque!

J.R. LIGGETT’S Lip Butter in Cocoa–$5.99

Similar to Fashion Reverie’s love of dropping a Delight Naturals chapstick into the stocking of a loved one … there’s something particularly cozy about a good lip butter, too. With many large cosmetic brands dropping cocoa-scented items, we’ve returned to our roots with our favorite lip butter from J.R. Liggett’s collection. Not only is the chocolate-y aroma perfect for this time of year, but the rich texture of the butter is perfect to use as a lip mask if you live in a cold climate.

Velvet Caviar’s Phone Case Collaboration with Peanuts–$25-$45

Please tell us we aren’t the only ones looking forward to sitting down and watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” … for us, this is the definition of the holiday spirit, and it seems that phone case brand Velvet Caviar agrees. Based out of Brooklyn, New York, the creative phone case company just debuted a collaboration for the Christmas season with our favorite Charlie Brown characters.

Coach Cherry Purse Charms–$95

As Jane Birkin-ifying your purses goes viral, so does the idea of bag charms. Coach snatched onto this idea with the too-cute idea of glittery cherry charms. Whether you wrap it up and set it into the booty of the stocking or attach it to the stocking itself, this little gift is a sure-fire winner for the fashionista girls.

Estee Lauder Gift Set– $90

There is truly nothing better to unwrap during the holidays than a beautiful holiday gift set. Not only does purchasing a luxurious item during this time of the year save you money, the packaging feels like a gift of its own. Fashion Reverie’s personal favorite is the gift set from Estee Lauder. While the total value would normally be $625, now you can get it for $90!

Editors’ Pick: Christopher John Rogers X J.Crew Capsule Collection

November 19, 2024 by Leave a Comment

There’s nothing quite like a collaboration between a designer and a clothing company known for more affordable options.  But it’s even better when the crossover causes both to step out of their comfort zone. This is exactly what happened with the collaboration between J.Crew and Christopher John Rogers (CJR). As many fashion lovers know, CJR is a bold and colorful designer, while J. Crew often colors inside the lines and sticks to more classic items. Due to this contrast, the capsule collection that debuted just earlier November is a stunning creative example of what an amazing collaboration can help to happen.

While it’s easy to note that collaborations are a dime a dozen, and Fashion Reverie has already rounded up our favorites for fall 2024; this one is unique and special. J.Crew is often timid when it comes to cross-pollinating with other designers or brands. However, as the brand is trying to revamp their image, we’ve been seeing collabs and crossovers pop-up with them more often.

For Rogers, collaborations are just another form of creativity. In 2021 CJR would create a capsule collection for Target and in 2023 CJR would create a collection of eyewear with Andy Wolf that would sell out in a matter of hours. Now with a J.Crew collaboration under their belt, it seems everyone from all walks of life can be a CJR girl.

Many of the items in the colorful collection are perfect for mixing and matching, and with a price range of $50 to $550 it’s more affordable and accessible to the average fashionista. Fashion Reverie’s personal favorites are CJR’s revamped versions of J.Crew classics, along with statement pieces that prove that maximalism is here to stay.
