Fall Into Autumn Colors

Fall is here ! Wondering what colors are hot this fall??? Turquoise and Coral that is. Add these cool but vibrant colors to your fall wardrobe. Add these colors to your browns and blacks for a pop of color and watch your outfit stand out !!

It's Time For Combat

Again the weather has changed and it is now fall. With the season changed, our fashion will change as well. A great way to make the transition is to add combat boots to your outfit. You can wear them with a nice dress and a sweater. They can also be worn with skinny jeans. You can wear the jeans ripped for a rocker look or fitted skinnies for a more put together look. Don't be afraid to try them in different colors and patterns.

The Romantic Era; Modern 1940's

Picture from whowhatwear.com.

The 1940's better known as the Romantic Era is very popular in fashion this year. It is a simple but elegant and glamorous look. Designers like Marc Jacobs, Louis Vutton, Natalie Lepore and many more are inspired by this era and included in their designs longer skirts, peplums, nipped waistlines and tailored jackets.
The 1940's lead to different varieties of silhouettes and styles which hit the runways for the Fall Fashion. So Ladies, go out and add the Romantic Era look to your fall wardrobe and watch heads turn !

Petit Chapeau

Looking for the right "topping" for your outfit? Try a Petit Chapeau ! It's a very versatile piece for the fall. You can wear it with a nice blazer and dress or to top off that men's wear look your are going for.

Key to Feeling and Looking Great !

Feel fatigued, or just don't like the way you look?? Exercise and your health and wellness is a key factor in everyday life and a big part of fashion. Putting on the right clothes or dressing in your own style is great but if you do not feel great about your body or how you look, none of that matters. Start out by walking around your neighborhood or local park to burn calories and get the heart pumping, then gradually increase your exercise as you go... You will not only lose weight but you will gain energy and stamina also.
So ladies, put away the pumps and gowns for this one and pull out the sneakers and sweats. This is the one time it is ok to wear the big t shirt and sweat pants in public.

Stand Above the Rest

Every couple of years Disney turns out a tween queen. A lot of the times they fall victim to pressures and stay trapped by the drugs and alcohol. This happened to Demi Lovato this year but instead she came back fighting. Her voice, presence and style is fiercer than ever. She is full of light and positivity and also has a wardobe some of us will die for. She is a woman leader at only nineteen and I can't wait to see what she will do next.

Michelle Obama, A Fierce Woman Leader

Today's blog is dedicated to the beautiful Michelle Obama. Our focus is on women leaders and she is one woman leader that has great style. Michelle Obama is known for shopping at J. Crew and her very "First Lady" look. She promotes physical fitness, which is important and key for looking and feeling great. She is a great wife, mother, and role model for women in America.
Hats off to you !!

A Little Curvier ???

A wrap dress is perfect for the curvier woman. It gives the waist a smaller appearance and shows off all of the curves giving a sexy grown woman look. A wrap dress is also great and easy item to throw on and be comfortable and still feel and look great.

A Wardrobe Must Have

A button down top is a must have in a woman's wardrobe. Whether its worn tucked in, flowed out, sheer, has flowers, etc. a button down is multi-functional with many different pieces.
Get out of the traditional way of wearing a button up; white button down shirt paired with grey, black or khaki slacks, A button down can be worn several ways but here are just a few ways to make it fun :

1. with shorts and ankle boots or even cowgirl boots
2. tucked into a pencil skirt
3. with genie pants
4. with leather pants or skirt
5. tucked into high waisted pants and suspenders

Pull out that button down and make it funky !

Pucker Up

Barbie Pink lipstick is in. It’s fun and girly. The look can be worn during the day or at night. Wear the lighter pink with pastels. The deeper hotter pink can be worn with blue eyeliner for a funkier look.

Balance A Ladylike Top With Leather Pieces

Feminine pieces are necessary in every woman's wardrobe and while ladylike separates obviously work well when worn together but add a little edge to those ladylike pieces with leather pieces.
Pairing blazers with leather leggings or buttons up with leather skirts. This keeps the class but still add the fun, edgy look.

That Outfit Is Far OUt, Man!

The late sixties and early seventies were a historical turning point in our country. The overall feel of America
changed. This fall that time period is influencing our way of dress again. Fashion designers are incorporating
the "flower child" feel to their lines. In almost any store you can find flare jeans, bohemian jewelry and crochet bags. If you want the head to toe feel just copy Mary-kate Olsen's entire outfit. If that is too much for you just add a turquoise bracelet and a crotchet bag.

$39,000 For A Back Pack??!!

Apparently not every one is being affected by this country's finical crisis. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a new crocodile bag for their line The Row. This item cost $39,000!! That sounds crazy to the average ear but what is even more astounding is that there has been two pre-orders placed for it already. Ashley is pictured with it and its a great looking bag but i don't know if its worth that price.

Elongate Your Legs !

Not only does nude shoes match everything but it is a perfect way to make your legs look longer. The tone of the shoe is so close to the tone of the skin it makes your legs look like they are cascading down to the floor instead of chopped off at the ankle.

It's Mini With Big Effects

The miniskirt is a wonderful addition to the closet. This should only used for a night out otherwise it might stop traffic. This season high waisted bright minis are in. They will look good with a crop top, tank top or even a nice blouse.

CoCo Chanel

Parisian Gabrielle "CoCo" Chanel, the founder of the famous fashion brand Chanel, is a French designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashion and pursuit of expensive simplicity made Chanel an important figure in the 20th century fashion. Chanel began an affair with French textile Balsan who showed her "the rich life": diamonds, dresses and pearls; Chanel began designing hats as a hobby, and after discovering her enjoyment of designing, she left Balsan. In 1909, Chanel began a relationship with Balsan's friend Chapel who financed and opened Chanel's first shop and his own clothing line. His jersey blazers inspired the creation of the Chanel look.
In 1924, Chanel made an agreement with the Wertheimer brothers, Pierre and Paul, directors of the eminent perfume house Bourgeois since 1917, creating a corporate entity, "Parfums Chanel." The Wertheimers agreed to provide full financing for production, marketing and distribution of Chanel No. 5.
