Disney World: What to Pack

I definitely pack a straw fedora whenever I can. It's perfectly suited for any summer vacation and goes well with anything from shorts to dresses. Speaking of shorts, these are coming with me!

Other vacation staples for me? Bright colours and comfy shoes. And, if you're looking for good vacation shoes, be sure to check out Clare's post. I also recommend these.

I'm off to Disney World but you can follow me via Instagram (hoggerandco) or Twitter, as I'll be using both while I'm there!

Hogger & Co. Style Profile: Dave Chen

I'm so excited to be introducing a new series on Hogger & Co., called "Style Profile" which will feature some of the incredibly talented and creative people I've had the pleasure of meeting in Boston and around the world.

Ecstatic to be starting off the series with Neiman Marcus Style Advisor:

 

While I only assumed the newly established role of Style Advisor within Neiman Marcus last year, I've been styling clients for their wardrobe needs for years.

 

Before that I was a YSL specialist and Valentino Specialist and have been at Neiman Marcus since 2008.

 

9 years and was in Honolulu before that for 7 years.

 

I think Boston is a cultured city of tradition and history and that
reflects on it's citizen's fashion sensibility. There is a great
appreciation for quality, craftsmanship, and timelessness. And with the
constant infusion of students from the world over, Bostonians also love
to embrace new ideas and fashion directions.

 

I went to Boston University and majored in marketing.

 

I train with Ken Downing, our corporate Fashion Director and fabulous guest judge on Project Runway. He educates us on the hottest trends of the season and the directional looks of seaons to come from fashion shows in Paris, Milan, NYC. He empowers us to deliver all the inside fashion tidbits to our clients. I also assist other associates in fitting room events that create an exceptional shopping experience that epitomizes Neiman Marcus customer service. Lastly, I also pull model looks for many of our exciting events.

 

Would have loved to have been at Alexander McQueen where Kate Moss was a holographic projection. Now, it would be Tom Ford.

 

Weatlhy and retired. Or a fashion journalist.

 

  1. Crisp white blouse.
  2. Floor length black evening skirt
  3. Perfectly tailored navy suit
  4. Short black trench coat
  5. Fabulous red dress
  6. Nude stilletto pumps
  7. Neutral leather jacket
  8. Tuxedo blazer
  9. Waterproof mascara
  10. Signature fragrance

 

Seeing a client go from "Oh no, I can never do that!" to, "OMG, I love it!"

 

  1. Friends and Family
  2. Carbs
  3. Kiehl's Argan Dry Oil
  4. White shirt
  5. YSL jeans

 

 

"My style philosophy is knowing what is appropriate--be it occasion, budget, or personality--and embracing that propriety with exuberence."

 

Thank you Dave for being the first to take part of Hogger & Co.'s Style Profile Series!

Greece: Santorini, Stripes

You know how the Greek flag has stripes on it? I gravitated towards that but switched up the colour.

Greece: Mykonos, Cobalt

When you think of Greece, don't you immediately think white and blue? I do, and did.

I paired a cobalt maxi skirt (that had some mirror-work) with a white cowl neck T-shirt for a night on the town. More bright hues for the Spring and into Summer.
