Ryzenberg On: Cut it Out

 Sexy silhouettes is what the warmer months are all about. Now that April is here, time to take a look at the closet and do some major spring cleaning. Get rid of those boots, sweaters and heavy scarves and prepare to don a little bit more skin.

One of the biggest trends from the runway is the cutout and you will see it everywhere from arms, chest and even abs. What’s great about this look is how the cutouts automatically give the illusion of a slender figure. When done with the perfect material, this is dynamite look!

Check out how some of the pros are embracing it.

Victoria Beckham: This trendsetter takes style to a whole new level. Mean, the neutrals, booties and peek-a-boo make this look ladylike without being too trashy. Such a perfect evening spring wedding look.

Bagdley Mishka: Feminine, flirty and fun. That lavender is to die for and the flowy material gives it an etherial feel.

Cushine et Ochs: These gals gave the trend a futuristic spin creating a fun dress that’s sexy and pops at all the right places. Also, simple sandals and perhaps a cuff is perfect as most of the attention will be drawn to the chest!

Versace: Hello sex appeal! Donatella simply added magic to this peek-a-boo look, perfect for a beach wedding or even date night. This is the type of dress celebrities will flock to wear to a movie premiere, awards show or even editorial fashion shoots. Just divine!

Ryzenberg On: Hello Sunshine

 Longer days, warmer air and blooms are back in full force! Welcome spring. I know that for many of us this means allergies also make an appearance, but hey, it’s time for a closet clean-up, change of style and softer hues.

So without further ado, I give you a few things I am certainly planning on donning this season. Of course, my signature (referring to my stacks) looks will make a cameo, and so will sunglasses, bold prints and sexy sandals. 

What I love about this season’s sartorialisms is the return to the 1950s, a time where women often went for ladylike silhouettes, yet still evoked a je ne sais quoi feel, like sporting a crop top while on vacation, or even contrasting fantastic prints and textures.

Ryzenberg On: Merry Moments

Wishing everyone who celebrates a Merry Christmas filled with love, joy and laughter. 

For me, Christmas has always been a day of new beginnings celebrations and learning new traditions. Growing up in a Catholic country, everything was ‘Papa Noel,’ Navidad and Noche Buena celebrations filled with fireworks and warm nights.

It all changed in 1990 when my family moved to America and I slowly learned about American traditions, white Christmases and lots of pre and post sales!

Enjoy today and for those in the Northern Hemisphere, bundle up…

Ryzenberg On: Greatest Stacks

So another month comes to an end, (hello July) and the dog days of Summer are officially on — albeit, I would prefer it was an endless summer.

I must say that the long summer days are indeed my favorite time of year! I mean, who doesn’t like long days, 9pm sunsets (even in SF) and opening your window for a nice breeze every morning.

Living in the Bay Area, the weather can be a bit schizophrenic, but one thing that I am loyal to rain or shine, is my signature ‘stack’ on my left arm. I often change it and add some bold bracelets or keep it simple for an elegant feel. It’s rather polarizing as most people either love it, or simply keep mum, but to me, it’s just an easy form of expression and a way of combining different styles.

Here are the four stunners I wore last month
