Oh Baby! Look Great Pregnant

Thursday, June 21st, 2012

Congratulations, you’re pregnant!  Whether you’re 2 months or 7 months, you want to look great the whole pregnancy. Is that achievable? Without wearing tents in the later months? Yes to both.

Oh yeah, and I don’t want to spend a fortune since I won’t be wearing these clothes on an ongoing basis. Done.

It’s important during this time in your life when your body doesn’t look like it even belongs to you, to feel and look as good as you can. This will help keep your spirits up when what your body is doing is getting you down (stretching, shifting).

How do we make getting you dressed in the morning, when you may be nauseous, as easy as possible? A dress of course! There’s nothing easier than putting on one piece of clothing that counts for a whole outfit. Then we just add accessories to finish off your look, which looks polished and pretty.

Back to your request of this not costing a ton of money. The dress pictured is from H&M which is a store and website with trendy, fun maternity clothes at great prices. https://www.hm.com/us/subdepartment/LADIES?Nr=4294928857

This may be a dress from last season so it may not be available now, but there are plenty of other cute options. This dress has long sleeves but obviously with summer coming, you can find dresses with short sleeves.

I chose 2 different styles of shoes for you in case you want either a lower wedge or a higher one. A wedge will probably be the most comfortable option in heels for you.

Add a versatile bag that you can use after the baby comes, and some fun jewelry, and you’re all set.

Looking great during pregnancy is doable and affordable. Try something you normally wouldn’t. You may just create a brand new look for you. Congrats!

Jewelry, Fashion & Accessories Show in Chicago

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

I just got back from the Jewelry, Fashion & Accessories show in Chicago (Rosemont) and wanted to share the fun with you. This is a huge show in Rosemont, which features hundreds of exhibitors that all all kinds of jewelry, from fashion to fine (read: large diamonds!); fashion-I use this word loosely because I didn’t see anything I’d buy for myself or my clients, except some leather coats and accessories. There are any and all kinds of accessories you can think of including scarves, beauty products, hair styling products, handbags and many other things.

I invited my friend to go and she was excited because she had never been before. She’s a fashion pro so she was ready for whatever was in store. Tip: bring a rolling suitcase so you can lug all of your purchases around in that instead of trying to carry it all and having your arm fall off.

Some of the highlights were beads by the string with hundreds and hundreds of kinds to choose from. A beader’s paradise. Beautifully handmade leather coats-the leather is like butter-lovely. Handbags of every kind including blinged out and handmade leather bags of all shapes and sizes. You can tell these artisans really care about their handy work. Swarovski crystal blinged out sunglasses in every color and pattern. Last but not least, rows and rows of fine jewelers including estate, vintage and brand new gems and precious metals of all shapes, sizes, styles and designs. This is my favorite category of the show. My friend tried on a $94,000 diamond bracelet with 25 karats. Major drool.

We both had a great time and will be back for more fun in the future. Check out my pictures for the highlights.

Prada’s Fall 2012 Collection at Milan Fashion Week

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Prada’s collection for fall 2012 is so spectacular, that was shown today at Milan Fashion Week, that I have to share the video with you. They used gorgeous geometric mosaic patterns and brilliant colors such as purple, red and orange. Almost every piece, including the pants, were embellished with beautiful beads and crystals. Since I’m a bling lover, this made me extremely happy.

Miuccia Prada has an impeccable eye for color and design, and it really shows with this collection. The shoes and bags are also amazing. You can check out some closeups on my Pinterest boards-Fashion shows, Shoes & Handbags: www.pinterest.com/impeccableimage You can also check out closeups of the embellishments. Unbelievable.

The hair and makeup was interesting to say the least. The hair was dip dyed with 2 different colors and the makeup, specifically eyeshadow, was bright and multi-colored, with 3 or more colors applied to perfection. Once again, you can see a closeup on my Pinterest boards of Make Me up and Hair Styles.

I would wear absolutely every single item in this collection.
