{Rockin} The Little Black Dress for New Years

admin — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:21:09 PST

Lord knows I love a great basic! My personal wardrobe stocked with them at all times or else I just can’t take my looks to the next level. I love playing with necklaces, bracelets, earrings, shoes, and handbag combinations. You will be surprised at how a new accessory will rejuvenate something you already owned. I truly believe if you get the basic silhouette right it’s only going to get better from there. Let’s face it, as women we are hard to fit as we get older. So when we find that amazing garment, and tailor it to perfection, it’s a big deal and sometimes no cheap!

So, if you have not found your New Years Eve outfit yet, or thinking of pulling something from the closet and jazzing it up…

Winter Outerwear {Wardrobe Audit}

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:17:54 PST

The first day of winter was yesterday, December 22^nd to be exact. So it’s definitely time for women around the Washington DC metro to make sure their winter outerwear wardrobe is together. As the temperatures drop, I urge you to audit your current closet to ensure the proper items are in your current wardrobe. This will ensure that your personal style does not suffer during the harsh winter weather. Remember, your personal image and how you’re present yourself to the public is important regardless of your lifestyle (Stay at home mom, working professional, or retiree).

I have listed the items you need to keep you warm and absolutely polished below, happy audit!

Heavy Coats: You need a coat that layers over a sweater of light weight sweater well. No need to feel like a sausage, go up a size.

Coordinating Hat, Scarf, and Gloves: Currently oversized scarves are the trend. I also love when the scarf is of a print in the proper scale and color to compliment a person’s natural coloring and features.

Boots: I recommend that you invest in 3 pair (1. Rain/Snow Boot, 2. Dress Boot, and 3. Casual Boot), this will ensure you have a shoe for every weather condition and situation. Also make sure they are comfortable, walking in uncomfortable shoes in the snow is the worst!

POLISHED Tip: Don’t be caught with clashing colors, fabrics and prints in public, which can send a message that reads unorganized, or worse low self worth. Try hanging your winter outerwear together in coordinated sets. This ensures that you can access it easily as your running out the door. These days everyone is on the go!

Dorothy Perkins belted coat, $89
MICHAEL Michael Kors genuine leather boots, $140
Camilla Skovgaard high heel booties, $435
Hunter sports shoes, $125
Burberry fringe scarve, $440
Armani Exchange wool knit glove, $58
Nixon hat, $30

The Style to {Rock} – Office Party Look…

admin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:37:18 PST

It’s that time of year again, Holiday Party Time!!!!!

I created this look for the individual that works for a traditional company, however still dares to be more then just another suit. It’s all in the special details ladies. You can be stylish, sexy and appropriate all in the same look. Save the short skirts, and low cleavage for a non-work related event.

2011 Emmy Style {Red}

admin — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:18:25 PDT

I truly loved all the red dresses that hit the red carpet during the 2011 Emmy Awards. Red is a hard color to wear, especially if the shade is wrong for your skin tone. But these lovely ladies definitely got it right.

My absolute fav is Kerry Washington {Work} it girl!
