Celebrity Style Watch: Halle Berry’s Tunics

May 10th, 2012 | No Comments »

Recreate this look with Guru's Tara Dress and Sofia Sandals in Gold!

There are few women in the world more beautiful than the Bond-Girl Halle Berry.  Not too long ago I was gossiping with a celebrity make-up artist here in NYC. She was telling me about how different stars are when they come in sans make-up to see her, their table manners… you know, the juicy things we wish we didn’t talk about? Well, she then said that the one woman that she has worked with and that she believes is the most stunning, and is even more beautiful all-naturale, is our style icon of the day: Ms. Halle Berry.

Order this Alexandra Dress in White to recreate Halle's look!

And the one clothing piece that Halle seems to not ever be without is the tunic.  Needless to say, we at Guru totally agree! She wears them casual, at the beach, as a blouse, as a dress, out shopping, anywhere! She also does an amazing job accessorizing her tunics in a way to fit the appropriate occasion.

Guru's Sofia Sandals in Gold -handstitched and organic leather

Another favorite look (above) shows Berry in a flirty, comfortable baby-doll dress. Again, she hits an accessory home run with metallic sandals and an over-sized boho bag to complement the simplicity of the dress.  How can a woman be so sexy and so cute at the same time?!

Recreate Halle’s look above for a fraction of the price by pairing Guru’s Alexandra Dress in white cotton voile with Guru’s Sofia Sandals in Gold!

For help recreating looks like these, please email me at lauren@guru-nyc.com!

Happy Living!

Spring/Summer 2012 Trend Report: “Sheer” Madness

April 29th, 2012 | No Comments »

Audrina Patridge joins the "sheer" trend by pairing a black bra under a sheer white blouse, creating a fun outfit that is both classic and sexy.

With every season comes popular trends that I either love or hate.  Let’s be honest: we all have our favorites, right? Well this season, one of the trends that I can’t help but absolutely love is the embrace of sheer fabrics.  For many people, the idea of anything sheer is scary. It doest have to be! Now anyone can join the “sheer” madness if they know how to do it. Designers have incorporated this trend into their new collection with blouses, dresses, gowns, and even pants.

The Inga Top by Guru

Wearing sheer allows us the coverage we want, but gives a light, effervescent look that is perfect for Spring and Summer.  A great attribute for sheer clothing is that it looks effortless.  For a fun Spring sheer look: Try adding a soft, airy piece of sheer clothing, like Guru’s Inga Top,

to a very structured skinny pant to create a look that is put-together, but comfortable and inviting.

Combining a sheer blouse and a 'peek-a-boo" bra can also be playful and fun as seen here with the Maha Top by Guru.

Another way to rock this look is to play up the sexiness by adding a “peek-a-boo” statement bra or cami under a sheer blouse.  Black and gold sheers bring in added drama for a more daring, provocative look.

To get in on this trend, check out Guru’s New Riviera Line.  Adding the Inga Top or the Maha Top in one of our lighter color voiles is a sure bet to get your Summer wardrobe on the “it” list.

For a list of locations where you can purchase the Riviera Line by Guru or to place a special order, please contact shop@guru-nyc.com.

Where did the Paisley come from?

June 16th, 2011 | No Comments »

Giving us an impromptu demonstration during our tour, the owner of a small textiles unit in Jaipur, India, set out a square of natural handloom cotton on the table, dipped the side of his palm into freshly made vegetable paint, and rolled the side of  his palm, bottom touching first, then up towards his curled pinky, leaving behind an indigo paisley shape. “People didn’t have tools to create intricate designs…so they used what was readily available…their hands.”  The paisley element is seen in Indo-Pak culture since the beginning of time.  ”It represents the mango (a symbol of prosperity and fertility) as it is shaped like the variety of mangoes we have here in this region.”
