Dolce Vita

The company has already fulfilled its recent pledge to acquire more footwear brands.

From strappy sandals to bright makeup, these are the pieces we can't wait to wear when the sun finally comes out.

The first official day of "spring" is tomorrow. Apparently. (With another snow day yesterday we're starting to doubt spring will ever come.) Even t

Name: Kathryn What do you do? I work for Dolce Vita. What was the last thing you bought? A Misfits t-shirt. What was the last song you listened to? "Me and James" by Gus + Scout. What would you never be caught wearing? Anything 'gemmy' or bedazzled. What are you wearing?

Another year, another New Year's Eve--and that means another New Year's Eve wardrobe dilemma.

Name: Johanna Occupation: Model What was the last thing you bought? A chai latte. What is your go-to stylish way to stay warm? I always wear my little jacket, it's my foundation for warmth and this June fox vest. What's your favorite restaurant in NYC? Catch NYC. What's the most prominent color in your wardrobe? Black. What are you wearing?

Name: Cara Occupation: Works for Dolce Vita What was the last thing you bought? This scarf. What would you never be caught wearing? Uggs. What's your next purchase? Are you on the look-out for anything in particular? A pair of cute camo pants. How do you keep warm? Do you have a go-to drink? Coffee with Bailey's. What are you wearing?

Everyone always goes on and on about the necessity of a good LBD but for me, it's all about the LWD (little white dress). And after some serious retail research (and maybe one or two missteps) I am happy to report that I've found the perfect one: Voila, Dolce Vita's Valentina dress.

Taking fuddy duddy, traditionally American things and turning them into high fashion seems to be a budding trend. (See: Glamping.) The latest target of the luxury fashion world's makeover is everyone's favorite holiday tradition: The Christmas Sweater. Somewhere between classy (as defined by Derek Blasberg) and campy (as defined by Corky St. Clair) is this list of Christmas sweaters from big name designers like Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs. It's the best new mix of high and low, plus you'll probably wear these Christmas sweaters again, as opposed to the one your mom made you with yarn and a hot glue gun. (Sorry, Mom!) Check out the festive options available for Christmas and get in the holiday spirit!
