Do You Have the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift Yet?

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

What are you getting for your beloved mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend or other woman in your life for her special day?

Sometimes you just run out of ideas. I’ve got the perfect, easy one for you! Why don’t you give her the gifts of success and confidence in herself? You can when you give her the gift that instills those things in her while she is being pampered and cared for (which all women love but most won’t purchase for themselves).

I will caringly coach her in creating the perfect image that works in every area of her life, including professional and personal. This will create a confident woman who has a healthy self love and self respect which propagates success.

This may include color analysis, working in her closet to make it easy for her to choose outfits everyday, or shopping with her to take all stress out of the process. A pampered wife is a happy wife.

Either call or email me and I will create a customized gift certificate for you to present to her, based on the amount of time you want to give. Easy!

This is a perfect gift (and super easy) for all occasions including Mother’s Day, birthdays, graduation, prom, wedding, new job, and just because you care. She’ll love you for it!

All Saints Arrives in Chicago

Monday, August 8th, 2011

This past weekend I was in Chicago for a couple of days and spent time in one of my favorite spots, Michigan Avenue (okay it’s more than a spot, but you know what I mean). I saw a store I didn’t think I had been in before and ventured in right away. It’s called All Saints, a British brand, and just arrived in June of this year. It’s 11,000 square feet of awesomeness.

There is fashion for both women and men. They have everything from funky clothes to totally different shoes and intricate jewelry. I really thought it has a lot of Steampunk influence in it. It’s not quite as Victorian focused but has a lot of the technology as shown in the jewelry. Check out the picture of the necklace.

I spent almost an hour in there just perusing and enjoying. It was quite busy and rightfully so. Although, I’m sure they hope it will appeal to everyone, in my opinion, I think it will appeal the most, to a funkier personality. Classic dress personalities may think it’s a little too free flowing. Dramatic personalities should like it and there are enough flounces for the romantic personality to find some goodies. Bohemian and gypsy personalities will love it. No matter what your dressing personality, go check it out; you never know what may hit you.

The clothes aren’t cheap but what do you expect? It’s on Michigan Avenue.

Sequins!!

Last Saturday I attended Boston Store’s semi-annual fashion show called trendevous (trend a vou) that Jordan Chambers narrated (and did a great job). The 2010 spring trends are:

Beaded Tops

Beaded tops-the more embellishments the better. I love the wild, geometric design embellished with different colored beads. The scarf adds even more interest although some people may find it too much. Be sure you wear a neutral bottom with a shirt like this or it will be too much. The white capris she’s wearing are perfect with this. Chaudry tunic in fuschia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Men & Details

For men, details such as buttons, snaps and other embellishments are big this season. This jacket with the big pockets and snaps can be worn to many casual events. The scarf adds a bit of sophistication and the olive pants give the outfit some extra color. Nautica Jeans utility jacket

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Denim & Neutrals

Denim paired with neutrals is another spring trend. A neutral color, such as tan, is great to pair with demin and really makes the denim pop. Remember, you only want to wear one denim item at a time. No jeans with a denim jacket and a denim shirt. Too much!

Another spring trend that continues from previous seasons, and in my opinion will probably become a classic, is the neutral shoe. This makes your legs look longer and slimmer. Try it, you’ll like it!  Jessica Simpson belted dress in denim

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daytime Dress in Floral

Another beautiful spring trend is a daytime dress. This one is in a bright floral which is also a trend. I think this dress is exquisite and so lady like. It’s wonderful for all of your spring and summer social events. Jessica Simpson dress in floral multi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Shirt

Yet another trend, which really isn’t a trend at all but a very classic garment is the white shirt. The white shirt has been around for many years and is a classic for both men and women. Here it’s paired with pencil skirt which is another classic. Whenever you don’t know what to wear, put these two together and you’re guaranteed to look polished.  Jones New York Signature knotted front-tie shirt in white; Lauren by Ralph Lauren belted skirt in black

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Trench Coat

Trench coats are a classic that are trendy this spring. Trench coats were made popular by the military many years ago and have stayed an essential in wardrobes around the world since then. Since your trench is a staple and you will wear it many times and can have it for many years, invest in a quality one.

Statement Necklace

The last spring trend is the statement necklace. The statement necklace has been around for a couple of seasons now but it’s so popular it continues to show up in new styles.  The one shown uses faux pearls and is a bib necklace due to its bib structure.  Erica Lyons faux-pearl bib necklace

Enjoy the great trends of this new season! I’m happy to answer all questions you may have about them.
