Every fashionista or fashionisto needs to stay refreshed with a spring in their stylish step! With the hustle and bustle during Fashion Week it’s important to stay happy and hydrated. Leave it to entertainment blogger and media sensation Micah Jesse of MicahJesse.com to join forces with Pepsi during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week as one of their official sponsors. At the “Diet Pepsi Refresh Studio” inside Lincoln Center guests were able to enjoy a crisp Pepsi with specially designed colorful striped-straws by Jonathan Adler!

While on Diet Pepsi patrol Micah interviewed fashion icons such as Betsey Johnson, Richard Chai & BCBG, Carolina Herrera, center-stage at Reem Acra, Custo Barcelona, brunette beauty Maria Menounos, Debra Messing and supermodel Jessica White to name a few!

What was I drinking when I attended the shows at Lincoln Center? Well, Diet Pepsi of course! I found the Diet Pepsi station to be the perfect combination of upbeat, friendly, fun and fashionable! Cheers Micah to a job well-done. I’ll have another Pepsi, please. Enjoy these fabulous clips of the stylish action during the New York Fashion Week Pepsi extravaganza.

ELI MANNING WEARS ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA FOR GIANTS SUPER BOWL XLVI PARADE!

Eli Manning celebrates at the Super Bowl XLVI – New York Giants Victory Parade in Ermenegildo Zegna. The Giant’s quarterback and years MVP has been a long time supporter of the brand. Eli Manning wears a grey Elements jacket, patterned dress shirt, brown trousers, and grey suede belt by Ermenegildo Zegna. The best words used to describe this look: utterly handsome! Men, take note.

About Zegna: Ermenegildo Zegna is the world leader in luxury men’s clothing. The company was founded in 1910 in Trivero, in the Italian Biella Alps, by the young entrepreneur Ermenegildo, whose vision was to ethically create the world’s finest textiles through innovation, sourcing the noblest fibres directly from their markets of origin. Managed today by the fourth generation of the Zegna family, the company is led by CEO Ermenegildo Zegna, grandson of the Founder. Since the end of the 90s the company has accomplished a comprehensive strategy of verticalization, creating a Global Luxury Brand which now ranges from fabric to clothing to accessories – and focused on retailing, pioneering early entry in emerging luxury markets. In 2010, Zegna celebrated 100 years of excellence.

Worldwide there are over 560 Ermenegildo Zegna points of sale in 80 countries, of which over 330 are direct operating stores. www.zegna.com.

I think there isn’t anything quite as sexy as a guy that leaves a little to the imagination with his look. Women can admire and men – can take fashion notes (*wink). This is a relaxed way to look under-cover cool in 2012.

It’s time to give your old shoes the boot. This winter, kick it up a notch with boots in a variety of styles. According to Askmen.com, black ankle boots are great for office wear. Comfortable, simple, and sleek, these boots are a staple similar to a dress shoe, but provide a bit of extra warmth and durability. They also transition well from work to an evening out; just remove your blazer for a modern, dressed-down look.

For a classic style in a modern silhouette, try leather wingtip boots. Wingtips are characterized by a pointed toe cap with “W” shaped wings running along the sides of the shoe. The decorative perforations and serration along the edges provide interesting detail. Wingtip boots will give your look a touch of sophistication that is great for casual or business wear.

Another version of this season’s must-have shoe is the lace-up boot. The timeless military influences and thick rubber soles provide a rugged and cool feel. Just tuck your slim jeans into the boot and pair with chunky knits or flannel shirts for an easy weekend look that’s on-trend.

Complete your boot look with the trendsetting Marc Ecko Cut & Sew Private Eye. Futuristic and sleek, Private Eye is an oversized acetate sun style with a unique metal bridge décor and metal logo trim. Available in Blue Navy, Smoke Crystal Matte and Merlot, Private Eye features CR 39 UV 400 protective lenses.

‘Tis the season, and ’tis the delectable flavors! As we know, Ginger is one of the most celebrated flavors this time of year. Go ahead and spice up a glass of Champagne (be a mixologist at home). All you need is Champagne or Prosecco, pour Domaine De Canton, add a Wild Hibiscus flower and you have a million dollar cocktail (without the million dollar price-tag & no shaking required).  Another wonderful treat that will be certain to warm things up this season — Bourbon & Ginger make a great pair — is “The Winter Gold Rush” which consists of 1.5 Ounces of Domaine de Canton, 1 ounce of Makers 46, Half ounce of fresh lemon juice (shaken – strained into a martini glass and garnished with a luxardo cherry) with super premium ginger liqueur, Domaine de Canton. This Liqueur is very special, as it is made with rare baby Vietnams ginger. Domaine de Canton, can be served alone on ice or mixed with any spirit. The versatility in making cocktails is endless, as well as cooking with Domaine de Canton (you can find great recipes on the site). Liqueurs are historical descendants of herbal medicines; they were made in Italy as early as the 13th century and were often prepared by monks (how, interesting).  Nowadays, liqueurs are made worldwide and are served in many ways: by themselves, poured over ice, with coffee, mixed with cream or other mixers to create cocktails. Liqueurs are also used for cooking from savory to sweet. Cheers to a positive, healthy and happy New Year to all! This fashionista is certainly looking forward to trying out the recipes on the ultra-cool Domaine De Canton website!

Ring in the New Year with new ways to wear denim. Let’s face it, every lady is drawn to a sharp-dressed man! I just noticed these handsome new sunglasses from IZOD and ClearVision Optical. I just had to share it with the DailyFashionista.com readers and men out there — take note!

Denim shirts are a classic American piece, favored throughout the years by cowboys, rock stars, and lumberjacks alike. As versatile as jeans, denim shirts can be worn with khakis, corduroys, or even your favorite old blues for the double denim look.

Keep it casual by choosing a denim shirt with western-style snap buttons. Chambray, a lightweight fabric resembling denim, also gives a relaxed feel. According to Men’s Health, denim shirts can also be dressed up several ways. Pair yours with a slim tie that’s knit, wool, or cotton. Or, try a gray denim color for a unique, sophisticated look. Make a resolution to try this trend during the chilly days of January: wear your denim shirt under a sweater or topped with a cool blazer.

Complete any of these looks with IZOD LX 754, a stylish blend of classic design and modern luxe. This men’s Navigator style features a double bridge and custom leaf spring hinges that are as technically appealing as they are durable. The LX 754 is available in Chrome and Black. This look will be certain to turn heads! Let’s stroll into the New Year with confidence and style.

Just across the runway was Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Russell Simmons, Donna Karan, Orlando Bloom, actor Stephen Dorff, “True Blood” star Joe Manganiello (in G-Star), Alex Pettyfer, singer O’Neal McKnight, “Blondie” singer Debbie Harry, LaLa Vasquez, model Tyson Beckford and so many more!

Hi, everyone I had the opportunity to stop by the Emiliani Beauty event with celebrity make-up artist Carol Hanna.  I have to say, that I was overwhelmed by the presence of so many amazing beauty-brands, celebrities and industry professionals all gathered in one massive space!  OPI, Paul Mitchell and Moroccan Oil were just some of the fabulous companies that had their latest on display! Also, running all day were various fashion shows, and of course true to form this fashionista had to join in on some of the festivities. As most of you know, I hail from the Garden State and try to show my support for events that take place here as well as in New York City!  It was also great to see Tracy DiMarco one of my favorite stars of the E! and Style Network show ‘Jerseylicious’ along with some of my other favorite reality TV stars and radio personalities. A sincere thank-you to Maria Cucciniello and Chrissy Colombino from ‘The Hip Event’ for this stylish invitation!

Recently, Emiliani Enterprises hosted their annual Beauty Show, Vision Becomes Reality at the NJ Convention Center in Edison, NJ. The biggest and best hair stylists in the industry were in attendance: Michael O’Rourke, Phillip Wilson, and more. During the three day event guests were able to enjoy stage performances from their favorite hairdressers, and participate in education classes in the “hands on arena.” Throughout the day guests attended cutting and styling classes, and purchased the latest beauty products that top exhibitors were showcasing at discounted rates. The event kicked off Saturday, October 15th at 6:30pm with a charity reception for Project Ladybug founded by reality star Dina Manzo of HGTV’s Dina’s Party, former RHONJ star.  VIP guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and snacked on some hors d’ oeuvres while waiting for the amazing one hour presentation from Philip Wilson. Dina Manzo was presented a check from the Emiliani team for $5,000 dollars, from the money they raised by the cut-a-thon events participation salons hosted.  After the show all guests got an exclusive preview of the salon floor while some of today’s hottest Reality-TV stars stopped by the media booth like Anthony Lombardi and Christy Pereira from Jerseylicious, and Carla Marie from Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, NY’s hit radio station, Z100.
