Dear Fashionistas ~ I know we are all waiting (if you’re on the East or West Coast) and ready for Spring and Summer to really get here!  Enough of the 40s and 50s – we want 80!  Most people especially the glam-conscious have a favorite color but you may not know how to incorporate it into your wardrobe.  Am I right? 

If you know how to wear color clothing, there are easy and inexpensive ways to brighten your look and make yourself appear more approachable! 

Try combining contrasting colors together. Try different shades until you get a look you like.

Add bursts of color through your accessories. A plain outfit will get more personality when you add a red handbag or yellow shoes.

Invest in great pieces, such as a well-cut red trench coat, an apple-green colored blazer or hot pink boots. Such items are funky yet still classic, so you will have them forever.

and fashionistas please don’t forget to combine stuff  you already own in “new ways”.  Think an orange cardigan with a pink skirt!

Until the next style adventure,

The Purple Shoe Has Arrived!

Dear girlfriends,

As I was riding the train home this evening, I saw a commuter with red shoes and jeans and thought that was pretty hot and sexy on a rainy Wednesday evening.  After a longs day work and with a few thoughts of my own, I know that wearing purple with dark denim or white jeans this Spring will be even hotter!

My beauty and style persona is looking forward to exploring the purple shoe with you.  Don’t be afraid to paint the town red in this sexy fashion forward sandal. Layered platform sandal with leather and fabric combination on a wood heel and platform sole.

When you get bored of all the options that you have in your wardrobe and want to add some interesting yet smart options to it, purple may be a color worth considering. Even though the first thought that may come to your mind while reading this is that the I am out of his mind, read on and think again. Many of you are choosing to adopt the unconventional purple because it makes an elegant and strong fashion statement.

You’re sure to turn heads when you strut out in these sexy sandals.

Its suede and snake-print fabrication has a richness you’ll love, but the flirt factor hasn’t been forgotten: The high heel and metallic-accented platform make it sexy, too.  A beautiful grosgrain bow centers a playful sandal accented with tonal rhinestones along the narrow satin straps.
