White To A Wedding…To do, or not to do?

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Wedding season is about to be in full swing and many women are still wondering whether or not it is okay to wear white to the nuptials. While there are some people who still disagree, most etiquette experts say that it is in fact acceptable to for a female guest to wear white to a wedding. The rule is simply that is should not resemble a wedding gown or be too risque. Seems pretty easy to me.

Majestic, we just can never get enough!

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

We simply can never have enough Majestic in stock and I personally can never have enough in my own wardrobe! So to say the least, when more Majestic arrived today I was jumping for joy. Here is a quick tid bit about my favorite pieces.

If you thought your viscose and elasthane tee shirts were great, we assure you that you will want to never take off the dress. Available in Heather Grey, we have a v-neck sleeveless dress with Swarovski crystal details at the neckline. It is finished off with a tie at the waist that you can remove if you prefer. I swear it’s better than cashmere and the fit is great.

You love your leggings from Fall but Spring is here, so try the new Linen Cropped Leggings by Majestic. Available in chestnut brown, they are soft and scrumptious. We love the fit and the feel. A slightly wider waistband keeps them from rolling over. Pair the leggings with the Baby Doll Linen Dress which is equally delightful. It looks great on it’s own as well. You can even throw the Cropped Linen Henley over it if you need an extra layer. Knit linen must be the 7th wonder of the world!

Check Artfulwears.com for these items and more on Tuesday!

The Perfect Black Dress

Friday, March 28th, 2008

A little birdie once told me that anytime you find the perfect black dress, you should buy it! So I  did just that and bought enough to share with the Artfulwears.com faithful. I am convinced you will thank me later.

Just arrived from LTB, is the Rosean Dress. The Rosean Dress really has the WOW factor! It’s easy to dress up or down with shoes and accessories. Made of 100% viscose, it is luxuriously soft. This dress is loaded with details. The front of the dress has satin trim with hook and eye closure, as well as darts under the bust to create a beautiful shape. The beaded & sequined straps criss cross in the back. The bottom of the dress has some diagonal layers finished with black sequins and beads. Truly an exceptional dress for the price. It looks TOTALLY HOT on! Get one before they are gone.

White, to wear or not to wear?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Women around the country are still debating when it is ok to wear white. For many years it was believed that you could only wear white from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Well ladies, I have great news, the TIMES HAVE CHANGED! You can wear white all year long! So as you are standing in your closet staring at your white pants, white skirt, or white shoes at the end of March, I am here to assure it is ok to put them on and leave the house. White is crisp, fresh, and always looks great.

Wrap Tops, Why They Work For Everybody!

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Most women want to look as thin as possible, while still looking shapely. For this reason, we though we would share with you why a wrap top looks great on every woman.Majestic Wrap Tee

First, a wrap top creates a the illusion of a smaller because the visual line is at an angle. Second, a wrap top is going to have a v-neck/open neck line which is slimming. It narrows the waist and accentuates the smallest part of your body, under your bust. This works equally well for small busts or large busts, short or tall, larger or smaller bodies. So if you want to look thing, get a wrap top.

Artfulwears has this great Wrap Tee by Majestic. Made of their eco-friendly Viscose/Elasthane blend. It is soft, easy to wear, and a great fabric for all seasons. Available in White, Brown, and Black.

Switching Your Closet From Winter To Spring

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

With Spring just a few days away, you must be thinking about the somewhat daunting task of switching your closet(s) around from Winter to Spring. Strangely, I always enjoyed it but I have some strange love for cleaning out my closet. None the less, I want to share a few tips to make it easier.

First, go through all of the stuff in your closet. Try on anything that you think may not fit you anymore. If it doesn’t fit, put it in a pile to donate. Saving things in case they might fit you in the future is silly. Let’s face it, if you are 20 lbs thinner next Winter, aren’t you going to want NEW clothes? Also, donate anything you didn’t wear all Winter. Again, if you didn’t wear it this Winter, you probably won’t wear it next.

After you have cleared all the Winter stuff out, start slowly bringing the Spring clothes in, doing the same thing you did with the Winter clothes. Keep only the clothes that fit you NOW and get rid of anything you didn’t wear last Spring.

Happy Spring Cleaning!

Evelyn Knight has creative, modern, sleek jewelry that is wearable day or night. Did we mention it’s extremely affordable?

I love the nature inspired Leaf Cuff. It’s substantial, yet very versatile. I can see it with a great dress or a pair of jeans.

Bent Wire Cuff By Evelyn KnightThe Hammered Hoop Earrings with Cubic Zirconia are always greatHammered Hoop Earrings By Evelyn Knight with absolutely everything. The CZ’s give it a little sparkle, but not to dressy for the office.

The Semi-Precious Bent Wire Cuff has slightly more edge. The modern design combined with the semi-precious stones (many stones to choose from) gives these bracelets a very exotic look.
