while i have met some men who love to shop...ok...maybe love is a bit strong of a word to use...but men who don't mind shopping...but then there are those who absolutely hate to shop...don't want to be near a mall...store...or anything closely resembling retail...come to think of it...i even know a few women who do...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
not loving to shop...is not an excuse to still be wearing shorts that you wore 8 years ago...time to update update update...and if you can't seem to get yourself to a store...get a friend to help...or...get a wardrobe stylist to shop for you...you would be amazed at what can be created for you (in way of a new wardrobe) in no time at all...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but if you plan on venturing out there...let's update to some new shorts...and while it is SO easy to go for basic black, brown, navy blue or khaki...let's step out a bit more...isn't summer all about fun in the sun? your wardrobe should reflect some of that...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so...try a pattern...doesn't have to be bold...but it sure gives some interest...don't you think?</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
and one piece where i see the most non thought about area...would be the workout wear...i think...if you look good...you feel good...and who doesn't want to look & feel good while working out? why should you just plop on an old ratty t-shirt and bottoms? think of your workout gear as being your coach & cheerleader...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so take a look at what you currently wear to workout...has your sports bra lost its elastic give? are your yoga pants so low cut that when you go to do your downward dog...you're showing more of your anatomy than you'd like? do your running shoes have any tread left? are there armpit stains on your t-shirts?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
time to go shopping!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so what to look for? one of the most important things is to look at fabric content...fabric that pulls moisture away from your skin...this will keep you comfortable during your workouts...and as always...look for a good fit...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and remember...workout clothes do not need to be boring...try some fun colors...prints or fun textures...just as there is interest in your everyday clothing...bring it into your workout wear to express your style...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
layering is key...when weather is unpredictable...and you need to shed clothes or add clothes...this is the easiest way...a hat...a vest...a thin layer long sleeved t-shirt...and a windbreaker are some great layering pieces...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
on one of our shopping trips...a colleague had raved about her <a href="http://www.lucy.com/Perfect-Core-Knee-Pant/214264,default,pd.html&dwvar_214264_color=LUCY%20BLACK">lucy perfect core knee pant</a>...shown below...while it was a bit pricey for me...i gave them a try...and have to admit...they are pretty comfortable...and wear really well...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i am here to help you and support your efforts...we can shop for your workout wardrobe and put together great outfits that will make you feel confident and eager to work up a sweat...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
do you have some faves to share? </div>

as america gets ready to celebrate 4th of july...i thought i would share a few ways to dress in the red, white & blue...without looking like...well...a flag! depending on where you live...based on the level of heat in your area...these ideas can be modified...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i saw this look on pinterest...and thought it was a perfect example of how to wear red, white & blue...she looks chic...put together...patriotic...and ready to have some 4th of july fun...now for some of you...who are not into wearing shorts anymore...no problem...this look can look just as great with a pair of pants...or skirt...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the 4th of july is about spending time with family and friends...there will most likely be bbq's, picnics & fun...why not add a cute dress into the mix? how adorable is this halter dress? a little bit of blue & white...and if you are keen into adding that last element of red...try some red flats...or a red cardigan for when the evening coolness sets in...<br />
<br />

it is all about being cool & comfortable...a simple red pant & white tank top or t-shirt will do the trick...it can be a variation of two of the colors...and you will still stand out as patriotic & chic...<br />

it can be as simple as adding a fun scarf...with stripes and/or stars...a simple tee...so go on...be festive...be fun...be stylish this 4th of july weekend...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392183274960452367.post-78413705858830241562013-07-01T17:47:00.003-07:002013-07-01T17:47:42.792-07:00the event that needs a dress...it is always bound to happen...you get the invite in the mail...dressy event...and you start pondering that age old question...what will i wear? now most of us head out shopping for a special occasion dress...but there is added pressure...as the event is looming near...and we have yet to find a dress...<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
a better way...or i should say...another strategy...shopping for those evening dresses when there are no invitations in the mail...at least not yet...now keep in mind...you know your lifestyle...if you don't go to fancy events...then this is a no brainer...and really...no reason to stock up your closet with special occasion dresses...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i always tell my clients (and girlfriends) to be on the lookout when they are shopping...the best time of course is post holiday sales...but let's face it...dresses are always going on sale...but most don't think about it...because there is no event looming in the horizon...but wouldn't it be much better to stumble upon a dress that it pretty much perfect...and looks fabulous on you...and possibly on sale??</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
always have an eye out for a great evening dress...i would stick to more classic shape, style and color...because wouldn't it be great to have that dress hanging in the closet...tailored and ready to wear...when the invitation arrives?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when you open up that invite...your question won't be...what will i wear...as you will already be prepared...</div>

when we think of summer...we think of sun...fun...and color...but many still have a hard time figuring out how to incorporate color into their summer wardrobe...now for those that for whatever reason...don't like color...no problem...i have several clients who prefer to stay in their neutrals...and that is ok...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but for those wanting to have a little bit of a colorful impact on their wardrobe this season...here are some simple solutions for you...and the great thing...is you can just add one of these items...and have instant color success...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. how about adding a vibrant colorful handbag for this season...this one below is the one i got myself...but in a neon pink...the tangerine was my second choice...and believe me...it goes with almost everything i wear...i literally have been using it for months...and get lots of compliments on it...which color to pick? whichever one speaks to you...the pink was screaming my name...so i went for it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
2 a big trend that has been staying strong for quite some time...is the colored jeans...or in this case...a nice cool cropped pant...and yes...i have a similar pair...and i love them...wear them often...with so much...i've paired them with a black & white graphic summer coat...a simple tee...a floral blouse...on and on....add a blazer - wear it to the office... <br />
<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://nordstrom.com/">nordstrom.com</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
3. same as above - but in a skirt...depending on what you are looking for...as far as casual or business...the colored skirt can be incorporated in either setting...this one is a casual cotton skirt...perfect for running around town...going to the movies with friends...or meeting up with the gal pals for drinks...add a fun white tee...cute espadrilles and you are set...<br />
<br />

<br />
4. add a little color to your shoes...there are such fun loafers out now...flats...in vibrant colors...or pastels...such an easy way to add color when wearing a skirt or your jeans...<br />
<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
but of course...don't just think of your flats...how about a fun color in a pair of pumps...a yellow? blue? how fun to wear with your jeans...can't go wrong with a fun colorful pair of espadrilles...or for something a little dressier...lovely mint green slingbacks...for those that want a little color...not to bright...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />

7. and last...but certainly not least...a simple add of a colorful scarf...add that to your neutrals...your blacks...or your all whites...and you are fabulously set for a wardrobe with a splash of color...<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
now i realize that all my examples are showing solids...but don't stop there...there are amazing colorful prints out there...that would do wonders in adding color to your summer wardrobe as well...</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
you need to know! the collaboration started when cole haan shoes were made with the comfort of nike shoes...cole haan has every heel height...with this hidden nike air technology...pure genius...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so next time you are shopping for some "high-heeled" shoes...check out all the wonderful styles that cole haan offers...and then look for the "nike air"...i have several pairs in different heights...and i tell you...i feel like i am walking on pillows...so so comfortable...the nike air padding is concealed inside the platform portion of the shoe under the ball of the foot and in the heels...and while i show a pic of a cute summer sandal...it doesn't stop there...you can find cole haan nike air in dressy shoes too...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
have you tried cole haan with nike air technology? <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br /></div>
<div>
this film covers so much of life within the walls of bergdorf goodman...the new up & coming designers trying to get in to a coveted spot...the work it takes to do up the magnificent window displays...to the personal stylists who cater to their clientele...the background of how it all began...interviews with so many of the designers who have been accepted into the elite group...a truly incredible documentary...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i give it 5 stars! a must see for all fashion loving peeps...<br /><div>

<br /></div>
<div>
having been through my share of closets...what i usually find are racks full of clothes of items that should never have been purchased...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"it was a great deal"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"but look at the designer name"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"i still hope to fit into it"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"i'm sure i will find something to wear with it"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
believe me...i've made the same mistakes...and cleaning out my closet is no fun task...but as i have been purging and purging...i can see the items that should have never made there way home to my closet as well...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
first things first...it just doesn't matter whose name is on that label...and it surely doesn't matter what the price of the item was...even if it was marked down 10 times...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
what matters...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
do you love this piece? does it flatter you...now...does it make you feel confident...powerful...beautiful...thinner...(fill in the blank)...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
that's what matters...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when it comes to shopping...buy what you truly love...buy what truly fits you...buy less...buy better...be picky about your selections...in the end...you will have a closet full of endless potential...trust me...</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
but serious? meggings? maybe for some young artsy guy...i could see it...but i truly do not think that this "trend" is anywhere near "taking off"...at least not in my neck of the woods...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
leggings in general...are not pants...now before i get a backlash from some readers on this statement...let me clarify...while they do work for some...the general public should not be in leggings...and definitely not wearing them as pants...makes no sense...while i have seen some great looks in leggings...the list is not very long...</div>
<div>
