An Experiment In Geometry

BLACKSEA recently introduced their debut collection for Spring 2014 of luxury handbags for "the sophisticated, cosmopolitan girl about town." Designed and produced in New York using the finest materials and Italian leathers, BLACKSEA’s debut capsule collection is an experiment in geometry and color.

Named for and influenced by the childhood home of the Creative Director, the nautical influences of the Black Sea and its rich shipping heritage prevail. The shades of navy and white abound throughout SS14 and are reminiscent of the Odessan seafarers and sailors, a popular lifestyle and career choice for natives of the region. Sand and blue tones appear in the collection reminiscent of the golden sand beaches and various shades of the Black Sea itself, while black and white add a cosmopolitan edge.

Founded in 2013, BLACKSEA uses a juxtaposition (I love that word) of textures and fabrics to create accessories that are bold and understated at the same time, utilitarian and undeniably stylish- cotton weave and durable canvas add versatility and functionality. A youthful fascination with geometry and almost mathematical precision belies the meticulous craftsmanship of design. Structured shapes, bold colors, and balanced proportions define a collection that centers on the classic, versatile clutch.

Prices for the Spring 2014 collection range from $329 - $699; For more information on BLACKSEA or to view the full Spring 2014 collection, please visit www.BlackseaCollection.com.

Nautica Gifts

What I really love this time of year is how excited everyone seems to get about gift giving. Sure, I know there's the madness of Black Friday and the craziness of Cyber Monday but it's all for a good cause right? It's all about giving! At least that's what I keep telling myself but thanks to Nautica, I was able to enjoy and casual shopping experience full of lots of fabulous items.

Last night, I attended the Nautica gifting suite and to my surprise and ultimate dismay, I found lots of stylish pieces I would love to have for myself as well as give away but I wasn't allowed to say my famous statement, "I'll take one of each please and thank you." However, I am quite thankful for what I was able to pick up.

If you haven't completed your Christmas shopping or even if you have (and if so, you must be like Superwoman or something!), stop by Nautica and get a few more things. I promise...it will be worth it!

 Thanks for an awesome event Nautica!

And the added bonus was getting a few awesome shots of the Christmas Tree and skating rink from the view at the Bryant Park Hotel. My camera is so awesome!

Hilarious Holiday - Target

So...When I first heard about the "Ugly Christmas Sweaters" at Target, I thought, "Why on Earth would I want one of those?" Then, to my surprise, it seems the whole world is going nuts for ugly Christmas sweaters, actually ugly sweaters in general...go figure! Even my Hubby says he wants one!

So...in great StyleMayvin fashion I felt it was my duty to head on over to my local Target and play around in the dressing room.  Although not every sweater has a Christmas theme, I do believe they just might ALL fit into the I'm-so-Ugly-I'm-cute category. Meanwhile, I'm quite sure the other shoppers found my little excursion either extremely entertaining or beyond annoying. Either way, I had a blast! Thanks Target! This just might be the most fun I've ever had prepping for a blog post!

Leather gloves...Patterns, Stripes, Black & White with a pop of color!

Pop, Pop, Pop...just like popcorn to string up and add to your super gaudy Christmas tree!

THIS...really is my Ugly (and Scary...hence the "paws out" stance) Christmas Sweater!

I'm so not a cat person but I couldn't resist the actual bell sewn into the sweater! Playing it sassy and...

 .
..playing it cool. This is multi functional sweater, just in case you didn't know.

And quite possibly my absolute favorite sweater! #SELFIE! Because no one does a selfie better than StyleMayvin!

Virtual Fitting Room?

With the news of the innovative 'virtual fitting room' App, Stylewhile, now I can truly say there's an app for everything! Launched in partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, Stylewhile has just announced the addition of Accessories and Shoes to the App. 

The App, which initially launched in September, has been changing the face of online shopping by allowing users of various sizes to virtually 'try on' clothes before purchase.  Sounds so cool right?  It is!

With the new version of the App, shoes and bags from the likes of Rebecca Minkoff, Jimmy Choo, Diane von Furstenberg,  Marc by Marc Jacobs and Kate Spade, and jewelry from Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Oscar de la Renta and many others will be available.

It is estimated that in the near future 25% of all retail shopping will move online. Stylewhile is anticipating this move by creating an entirely new way for customers to interact with online stores, offering a highly personalized experience that allows and encourages creativity while shopping online, while also ensuring that consumers are buying the right clothes for their personality and body type. 

"Our dream is to build an App that helps women to find and buy the right items so that there would be a lot less of those ’I have nothing to wear’ moments or ‘this looks differently in person than it did online’!", says Stylewhile Founder and CEO, Jutta Haaramo “

Stylewhile is available in the App Store for iPads operating with IOS 6/7. The App is free to purchase.

Evening Of Style - StyleMayvin In LA

Lincoln Motor Company and actress Nia Long celebrated an “Evening of Style” in Los Angeles for the LA Auto Show kickoff and as always, I was honored to attend as one of Lincoln's VIP guests! The event, which took place at Hollywood’s Siren Studios, played host to the celebration of art, design and culture as well as the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC small premium utility vehicle. 

Nia Long arrived in style in yet another one of my newest Lincoln favorites...the MKZ.

Gotta love a red carpet event...

...I know I do!

The “Evening of Style” was hosted by actress Nia Long and guest attendees included Daphne Wayans and many more. 

Additionally, Lincoln MKC Brand Manager Jeff Reid also held an in depth discussion moderated by Automotive Rhythms president and publisher Kimatni D. Rawlins. 

Guests enjoyed fashion, specialty drinks and the soul and garagefunk sounds of BLACK WAAT3R.

Meanwhile...I do believe the MKC is the perfect look for me right?

Other stylish attendees included...

Terrell Tilford (Actor, The Guiding Light)

 Zena Foster (Corespondent)

Kel Mitchell (Actor, Good Burger) 

Eddie George (Former Professional Football Player)

Pooche Hall (The Game) and Eddie George 

The 2015 MKC is set to debut this summer and is the second of four all-new Lincoln vehicles to be introduced by 2016. Lincoln MKC first appeared as a concept vehicle at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit last January, and was warmly received by media and consumers alike. The production version was revealed to the media last week in New York City, making the L.A. Auto Show the first chance for consumers to see the vehicle up close. 

On the heels of the 2013 MKZ sedan, MKC is the second of four all-new Lincoln vehicles to be introduced by 2016. It becomes the newest entry in the small premium utility segment, the fastest-growing luxury segment that has seen more than 200 percent growth since 2009.
