A little SPARKLE and SHINE!!!






One thing that I LOVE and is really big this season is SEQUINS!!! You can dress them up or down. Wearing them to a dinner or an event is perfect. I love wearing sequins and I can honestly say that I have, and always will wear them no matter that the trend is. My philosophy is if you like it wear it and forget what people will say!!! Sequins can go anywhere from your jeans to your dress. I have even seen bras and panties with a few tidbits of sparkle on them. Another trend is sequin leggings, which I LOVE, my only concern with those is what is the sequins look like after all the wear of the thighs rubbing?? But at this point I DONT CARE cuz they are sooooo cute!!! As far as fitting your body type sequins can be worn by anyone it all depends on how you wear them. If you are a bigger girl and very curvy you dont want to wear a tight mini dress with sequins from head to toe. Not only will it make you look bigger but it will bring alot of attention to you which isnt what you want.


You might want to try a sequin blazer or maybe a dolman sleeve shirt (batwing looking sleeves) with sequin encrusted shoulders.

If you are the type with very broad shoulders and a very narrow hips you should try a deep v-neck tunic that hit right below the butt with sequins on the neckline.

If you are thin all over you can wear a sequin mini dress that isnt too tight but still flatters your shape.

Forget about your boyfriend...ya gotta get the blazer






THE BOYFRIEND BLAZER
Its one of the seasons MUST HAVES


Blazers are one of the easiest ways to add a little sophistication to an outfit. The best part of it is anyone and everyone can wear one; you can take them from work or class to night. You can pair a blazer with a dress, skirt, jeans, slacks, shorts, really anything you can think of and it will still look amazing!!!! The thing that makes a boyfriend blazer different is its a little more relaxed than the usual cropped or fitted blazer and it makes any outfit look chic. If you were to put a boyfriend blazer over a white v-neck t-shirt with a pair of dark wash jeans and some ankle booties you will be in the money!!! Just make sure that if you are on the busty side don't button it. If you button it you might look a bit squished in and the "GIRLS "might make you look a little heavier than you really are. In whatever you are wearing you want to conceal the negatives and accentuate the positives. I mean isn't that what all the celebrities do. They really don't look that perfect all the time. Everyone has flaws!!! Just make sure to conceal and accentuate while still dressing your body type because you want to dress for you body not for the trends. And ladies remember although looking your best is very important your attitude is the icing on the cake. Like my mom always said "The dress doesn't make the girl, the girl makes the dress." So why not have your cake and eat it too!!!

They made it WORK for them

These are a few people who made leggings work for them.....they look great and dressed to their body types. I hope you are having the same kind of success!!!

Nothin but legs.....Leggings that is!!




One of the must have items in your closet for fall is leggings! They were seen on all the runway shows from Versace to Gucci. Leggings are becoming a staple for your warbrobe and the best thing is they work for every body type. You could pair them with a long cardigan, a leather bomber, or even a mini. The most important thing to remember with leggings is not to give too much. If you are curvier you will want to wear a top that is not too tight fitting and doesnt hug the hips. If you are slim you can match it with a cropped blazer or a boyfriend t-shirt. If you have broad shoulders and narrow hips you should pair your leggings with a long cardigan so that you can draw that attention downward giving the appearance of narrow shoulders while still covering the hip area. See....leggings work for everyone all you have to do is find the one that work for you. Send me pics of you makin it work !!! You might find yourself posted on my blog!! Good luck and remember dress for your shape not the trend. If a trend doesnt work for you stick with things that do.
