Astoria Spring 2015 Fashion Preview

New York Fashion week is in full swing, which made us want to give you a taste of local fashion, as we impatiently look forward to spring.  Here, we’ve asked Astoria’s top retailers and boutiques about their spring must-wear items and they’ve delighted us with their expertise:

Loveday 31

Mixing bright and bold prints – delicate stripes are always on point and a nautical theme is always a spring/summer classic.

The 70’s are making a huge comeback for both spring and fall 2015 and this easy bohemian number is simply flawless.

You can’t go wrong with a jumpsuit!  They are super stylish and flattering and transition effortlessly from day to evening.

Delicate yet edgy, double sided sparkling earrings are a spring must and a bestseller.

Loveday 31 – 33-06 31st Avenue, Astoria. 718.728.4057

Lockwood Style

Break away from the traditional khaki hued trench and opt for this soft to the touch, perfectly cut, blush spring staple from JACK. This jacket is one of Lockwood Style’s most coveted items & rose toned outerwear is all the rage this year! ($90)

We can’t seem to comprehend how we ever lived without this sandal from Swedish Hasbeens! These sturdy, well-made beauties pair perfectly with virtually anything and Lockwood Style is picking them up in three beautiful colors: black, red & nature. ($249)

They’ve coined this high quality, vegan leather Moda-Luxe Dandy Crossbody Bag “2 Chainz.” This Lockwood Style best-seller comes with the option of a solid strap and a chain strap. Available in 6 Spring-perfect shades. ($60)

Lockwood Style – 32-15 33rd Street, Astoria. 718.626.6030

The Brass Owl

As already noted, the 70’s are going to be a big trend for 2015 and for footwear that means espadrille flats and wedges such as these beauties from Dolce Vita.

Personalization is always on trend, and jewelry makers are always finding new ways for us to express our individuality. The Brass Owl loves “Mantra jewelry” with great sayings that are hand etched, and work back to layered jewelry looks.

Now we take it back to the 60’s, and round, boho-chic sunglasses are HOT! It’s a very cool look to update your eyewear this summer.

The Brass Owl – 36-19 Ditmars Blvd, Astoria. 347.848.0905
