How To Wear Leggings

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Leggings can be a bit tricky and we want to make sure you are wearing leggings appropriately. The best way to wear leggings is with a tunic or a shorter dress (mid-calf or above). You can also pair them with a longer length sweater. Belts are a great accessory with leggings. Leggings should never be worn as pants ladies! Think of them as an alternative to hosiery.

Beach Pocket Tunic Language L.A.Steel Floral Tunic by Language L.A.
We love these two tunics from Language Los Angeles that both work really well with leggings. The Bamboo Beach Pocket Tunic looks great with white, grey, or brown. The Steel Floral Tunic works well with either grey or white.

Being Trend Savvy

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Without fail, there are new trends for every season. We women relish in this tradition. We RUN to the mailbox to see what the fashion magazines are showing as the next “big thing”. While I feel you should embrace trends, you have to choose which ones are right for you. For the last two seasons, high-waisted jeans and skirts have been in style. This look unfortunately doesn’t work for everybody. Metallics are also trendy can easily be worked into anyones wardrobe. I could go on for days about each trend but the point is, before you embrace the trend look in the mirror and ask yourself if this trend really works for you. You will always find many that do and a few that don’t. Last tip: you don’t have to combine multiple trends with every outfit.

Hooray For Flats

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Heels are sexy, no one will argue that. Well if they do argue it, they will lose. However, heels are not always comfortable and sometimes not even the best look for your outfit. Many women with back, ankle, or foot problems need an alternative to heels. Other women, simply want to be comfortable. We have good news, there are great choices in flats these days and you don’t even have to trade style for comfort. Plus, you can wear flats for evening and still look hot. If you are looking to do flats with an outfit for evening, we suggest going with a great metallic, embellished, or satin look. These will generally bring a little more glamour and dress-up factor to the shoe.

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!

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.

Every girl needs a great dress…

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

So we know every girl needs a great dress, I need at least 20! However, I truly love this Beaded 2 Layer Dress by Interlud. If I had to pick just one, this just might be IT.

There are so many unique features to this dress. It is made of a blend of lyocelle and silk chiffon, that creates a deliciously soft knit. It feels GREAT against the body. Adorned with great silver beads that create a contemporary modern look. Basically, you can look great and feel great too. We love the muted plum color.
