It's A Wrap

Scarves, wraps, and shawls oh my… to add a little flair to your wardrobe drop by your favorite shop and try them on. Scarves can be worn in many different ways. Wear them thrown around your shoulders for a weekend out with the girls, or drape a warm wool scarf around your neck with a cute denim jacket for a date night. Wraps and shawls are no longer for special evenings but can be worn with jeans and a cool tee or over a simple dress. Have fun with whatever choice you choose and express your style with interesting patterns and colors, and that’s a wrap!

The Hands Have It!

A great style makeover with very little cost is simply a manicure. Your hands are a direct reflection of you and no matter how hard we try we can't hide our hands. Nails for this season are cut short and well shaped with a clean polished finish. Dark colors such as Burgundy's, dark plums and even black still lead the way for this season. Invest in yourself a very small fee for a great deal of style, check out these great colors.

Bag Ladies, need an it Bag

This year has zoomed by and we are now rapidly approaching the fall and winter months. So, why not revise your style with a hot new bag. A handbag or purse should reflect who you are as well as meet your needs in it's purpose and function. There are some many great styles and looks to choose from, but to totally keep you hip and in style try selecting a bag this fall in a style or color you normally would not choose. Trend wise bigger is better but you be the judge of that however you decide, pick a bag that you love and a style that can't be missed.

Color your Style

It is all about color every where you look color is all around when it comes to fashion, gone away are the bleak dark colors. We all know that the economy is in a fix and not only have we noticed but designers as well. Designers such as Diane Von Furstenberg, and Anna Sui really used color and vivid prints in their collections for spring /09. (check out there sites for ideas) Color livens the mood and brightens any wardrobe. Pick bright colors to wake up and existing suit for instance if you already own a blue or black suit punch it up by adding vivid prints or bold hues of color. Colors such as pinks, greens, fuchsia's in the form of a camisole/shell or even in your shoe selection. Choose a shoe print that's explosive in color what a way to work a basic suit. If not in the shoes try the accessories any where you can add a splash of color do it, but remember not to much. Great style is all about just the right amount. Men can punch up the color in their tie selections a nice silk tie in pink, turquoise, lavenders paired with the perfect pocket square will definitely set your style off. So remember to pick up one item that's exploding with color to add to your wardrobe and watch all the comments come your way.

Happy 4th!!!!!

Happy 4 Th of July! hope your enjoying yourselves and not eating to much yeah right ! It's official we are in the heat of summer and everyone is gearing up for cookouts and outside fun. Here are a few tips I think you may find helpful this summer.

1. Remember if outside for long periods of time please take along water to stay hydrated water and Gatorade are a must in the summer heat the last thing we want is to see you passed out by the pool (not cool) water, water, water.

2. Although yes it is summer and the vibe is a more relaxed please pull out the iron if necessary we often want to skip this in the summer because hey.. it's summer but style takes effort people so put some heat on those clothes it's all about the details.

3.When invited to a cookout or summer party even if the host insist you bring nothing, by all means do so. It's just plain good etiquette and the least you can do, you don't have to break the bank but a little something, something will not only set you apart from the other guest but let them know that you appreciate the invite.

4. The one item that you must update and revise this summer is the Sun Glasses/Shades
they must be huge, large did I say enormous, as big as you can find that fit and flatter your face
If budget conscious check out Target the have a huge selection and most of the latest trends. The big Jackie O inspired sun glasses truly one of the hottest trends this summer. Ray Bans from the 80's (vintage ) are also hot if you happened to have held on to yours lucky you, pull them out and rock them. Rain or shine don't get caught without them.

Hot Item of the week!!

I want to share with you what I'm calling the style item of the week it is Bath and Body Works C.O Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint it's a great product and I've fallen in love with it. It contains real mint so it gives your lips that tingly feeling and it gives a Fabulous shine, if you suffer from those tiny little cracks in the corners of your mouth it also helps with that. My personal favorites are Pink Mint and most recently Bare Mint. they retail for about $7.50 and are absolutely wonderful go in and check them out choose the color of your choice and I guarantee you will be in love too. I feel both male and female can use this product men if purchasing only apply a small dab because it really packs a shine. Have a great day!
