The Messenger Bag

The messenger is the ideal weekend, traveling bag, so it’s super convenient that it just happens to be such an in-style bag this season! Worn cross-body or over just one shoulder, you are going to love the comfort and practicality of this bag.
For $29, this faux snakeskin bag by Nine West has serious style. It [...]

Straw Totes…not just for the beach!

This summer, consider carrying a woven straw tote bag off the beach…and to a lunch date or shopping trip. Straw totes are certainly a bag trend this season, and an easy one to pull off effortlessly! Large or small, this year’s straw handbags come in virtually every price-point, color and by most every major bag [...]

Designer Cynthia Vincent for Target’s shoe collection has {finally} arrived at Target. As of today, there is a reported limited selection in stores, but the full collection is available online. This is collection is extremely fashion-forward and includes colorful african prints, funky leather wedges and studded gladiator sandals. Oh, and did I mention that this [...]

All about Asymmetrical

It’s all about asymmetrical sleeves on shirt and dresses this Spring. I love this unexpected look for going out at night or a dressy affair. If you try this look (which I think you should!), please promise me that you will wear a strapless bra and will not allow a gaudy bra-strap to show on [...]

Sold on Stripes!

Adding a striped top to your Spring Wardrobe  is an absolute “must!” Stripes happen to one of the most popular patterns this season and are also one of the most classic warm weather looks a girl can wear. If you purchase just one striped shirt this season, I recommend navy/white or black/white stripes for the [...]

Spring Shoe Trends #4:: Caged

By now you’ve probably noticed the Caged Shoe trend in shoe stores and fashion magazines. Defined, a caged shoe has a trellis-design that literally cages the foot. It differs from a gladiator shoe in that a gladiator usually involves a center strap and a caged shoe does not.
What I love about a caged shoe is [...]

In the words of Bette Midler:: “Give  girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”
This Spring, the must-have [...]

Men’s Style Monday:: Checks, please

Checkerd, gingham and plaid patterns continue as a trend for men’s shirts this Spring. Every guy needs a punch of pattern in his wardrobe, and this spring, checks, along with horizontal stripes, are the two “must-have” prints. Bloomingdales has several snazzy checkered shirts on sale online now.
I love the bold statement the Fairfax Check Shirt [...]

A Must-Have:: The Grand Ruffle Shell

If you haven’t yet bought into the ruffle trends of the past year, it’s time to bite the bullet. I find myself telling my clients all the time how flattering a center-ruffle is down a shirt. A vertical ruffle lengthens and slims, drawing the eye away from figure flaws such as a large chest or [...]

Crazy for Coral

What’s not to love about the color Coral? It’s bright and peppy, makes all skin tones appear tanner, and it’s been actually “proven” (don’t ask me by whom, but I have read it via several sources!) that the bright color can actually project energy and vitality onto those you encounter while wearing it. I’m so [...]
