Getting Out Of A Wedge

Wedges are a great way for a woman to be comfortable while still being fun. The wedge still gives the height of a stiletto but the comfort of a flat. Wedges are flirty, cute and still very stylish. You can wear them casual with a pair of carpi's and a t-shirt or flirty with a cute sundress.

Cut It Short

Bermuda Shorts

Denim Cutoffs

Sailor Shorts

It is time to show off those legs. The best way to do that is by wearing shorts. They come in all colors and styles. A woman who doesn't want to show too much can wear Bermuda shorts. A woman that is more daring can wear denim cut-offs ala Megan Fox. A trend that is real hot this summer is sailor shorts, they flatter all shapes so every woman can give them a try.

Protection Is Perfection

It is summer and it is scorching hot. No matter what your skin tone you must wear sunblock. The sun rays are harmful and can cause immediate and later damage. Also make sure to re-apply it every hour. The best is to have a sunblock with a 30spf for everyday and a 50spf for the pool and the beach. It will keep your skin looking younger and healthier for more years to come.

Suit Up

Summer is here, so that means bathing suit time. This can be a stressful season for some women but not to worry, it can be easy and painless. First and foremost find a style that fits your body type. A halter top is best for a busty woman. A woman who has more on the bottom can benefit from a bottom with a skirt. Sometimes we can feel like we are showing too much so we can always cover up with a tee or some shorts.

Every Gift Needs To Be Wrapped With A Bow

Bows are a way that a woman can bring the inner "girl" out of her but still in a fashionable and adult way. Bows are a a cute way to add color, style and can even be use to accentuate the waist line of an outfit. Bows can add flare on the shoe and can add fun to the hair. You can find bow designs for necklaces, earrings and bracelets if you just want to test drive the trend.

We Need To Band Together

The summer is fast approaching so therefore hairstyle ideas need to change. Summer styles tend to be more free flowing and loose. A good suggestion is the bohemian headband. It is a way to add style to your hair without really messing with it. You can part your hair any way and it works on all hair textures. The headbeands come in all colors, textures and sizes. There is a headband for a flashy woman and a headband for a woman that is more laidback.

Red Bottoms

     Christian Louboutin is a French footwear designer who launched his line of high-end women footwear in France in 1991. Louboutin's designs incorporate the red-lacquered sole that became his signature. he states that  "In 1992 I incorporated the red sole into the design of my shoes. This happened by accident as I felt that the shoes lacked energy so I applied red nail polish to the sole of a shoe. This was such a success that it became a permanent fixture." Louboutin trademarked the red bottom sole on March 27, 2007.
     Louboutin helped bring stilettos back in fashion in the 90's and the 2000's. The height of his stilettos begin at 4.72 inches and higher. Louboutin's professed goal is to "make a woman feel sexy, beautiful and to make her legs look as long as he can"

Underneath It All

No one is perfect, not matter how fashionable or stylish. Even though we aren't perfect we have found tricks to faking it. The essential tips are those with undergarments. No matter how fly the outfit looks if you have panty lines or the wrong bra, the effort to looking good is lost. When it comes to bras, always get the right size. Sometimes we may not know our size so the best thing to do is to go into a place like Victoria Secret and have them measure you. They do it for free. Every women should own these bras : a push-up, a strapless and a bra that has movable straps. When it comes to panties the same thing applies, find your correct size. Everyone should have a thong, seamless boy shorts and bikini cuts too. Whenever you are wearing white whether top or bottom, wear a nude bra or pair of panties.

Bring out the ANIMAL in you !

Animal print use to be seen as more of a outing or casual attire but now because of the change in fashion, animal print can be worn stylishly to the office. The neutral base colors add class while the patterns add wild edge. To not over do the trend, pick one piece to wear such as, a nice blazer with a leopard print pencil skirt or an all black dress with zebra print shoes. If you want to spice it up for the weekend, wear colorful accessories.

Time To Take It Higher

High-waisted pants are a fashion necessity for all women. They cinch the waist and show off your curves without revealing too much. They come in many colors, fabrics and styles. You can also find high-waisted skirts and shorts. They give off a classic retro feel but are still modern.

A Game Of Polo, Anyone ?

Polo shirts are absolutely amazing. They can be worn with just about anything and come in every color. The most famous retailers that hold them are Lacoste and Ralph Lauren but you don't have to spend the big bucks to have this classic look. You can find this style of shirt in American Eagle to Wal-mart. A woman with a classic style can wear one with pearls and Bermuda shorts. A college student could wear a polo with ripped jeans and flip-flops. They instantly pull an outfit together and look good on everyone.

It Is Time To Get Grounded

Everywhere you turn in fashion these days all you see is sky high stiletto heels. They, of course, are fabulous but sometimes can be impractical for everyday life. A lot of us stand on our feet all day and we want comfort. The problem is we lose the chicness to gain comfort but it doesn't have to be that way. A quick and easy solution is to load up on flats. They are inexpensive, chic and so comfortable. They can be found anywhere and come in a range of colors and patterns. Flats can be worn with skinny jeans and skirts and are appropriate for any event such as a wedding or even a date.

Add A Layer

Its the spring time, it may be hot one day and then it maybe chilly the next day. The way to be prepared for that is to have a cardigan with you. It will add warmth to an outfit without changing the entire feel. It is a piece that is inexpensive yet will always come in handy. They come in all colors and styles so every woman can find one to match her particular style. A quick tip for every woman is to get a buttoned up black cardigan, that will always be in style.

Let's Keep It Light

Easter weekend is upon us and with this holiday comes wonderful pastels. Pastels are the ultimate spring trend that can be worn in the summer as well. The colors are soft and inviting. They will put you in a better mood when you wear them also. A great way to wear this trend is as a dress with a thin belt in a bold color around the waist. Keep the hair, makeup and shoes simple so that the pastel can speak. If that is too much you can aways sweeten up an all black outfit with pastel colored shoes and/or a purse.

Can You See Through All That Smoke?

Today we are going to switch gears a little bit to makeup. The trend is the smokey eye. Some say that this look is way to hard to pull off but it isn't, you just need the right tools and the confidence to pull it off. There is many ways to achieve the smokey eye look but we will start with the basics. The first order of business is finding the right colors that go with your skin tone. Lighter skin tones should stay with grays and browns, black may look to harsh on your skin. Tan and Darker skin tones can use the grays, browns and black. The other toold needed are a shimmering natural color( a color closest to your skin tone), mascara and eyeliner. Take the natural color and apply it to the inner corner of your eyes to the middle of your eyelid. Then take the darker color of your choosing( gray, black or brown) and apply it from the mid lid to the end of your eye. Blend the two colors together and then line your eye ( top & bottom ). Finish with a lot of volumizing mascara. Keep the rest of your makeup simple. This makeup trick can be used with a lot of different colors but its best to get the basic coloring down first before you go crazy. After this is mastered do not be afraid to move on to the purples, greens and blues. Remember a woman leader isn't afraid to try something new.
