All Else Can Wait…

Hello Gorgeous,

In this post I will be addressing emails I have received asking me what I will be wearing most often this summer. So for all you gorgeous ladies…here goes.

I have blogged about so many trends over the past few months that if your head is in a bit of a tizzy, I don’t blame you. There ARE a few trends that stand out  for me…that I have shopped for and will be wearing over the next few months on repeat. The rest of it can wait. I’ll get to them… all in good time.

  1. Poplin shirts – I have always loved the fabric and find it chic and timeless.
  2. Deconstructed tops – I’m all over this trend. It is so different from what we have seen in a long time and I love how the designers have played with different fabrics and prints.
  3. Stripes – I am mixing them with everything. All I need now is my very own yacht, anyone feeling deliriously generous?
  4. Ruffles – Is there anything more feminine? I think NOT.
  5. Mommy/Flared jeans – I love my high waisted mommy jeans and as far as flared jeans go…I have been wearing them for years now, whether they were on trend or not!
  6. Kimonos – I find this so easy to throw over a tank and jeans.  
  7. Espadrilles, wedges, mules and platform sandals – saves my back a lot of heart/back ache. What is it? Age? I can’t balance on those stilettos anymore…can you?… and after a cocktail or two… I wouldn’t dare try. What did you think was gonna happen over the summer gorgeous? Tons of Rosé… that’s what’s gonna happen 😉
  8. Different sleeves – I am definitely experimenting with this, and am not doing the Sleeveless in Seattle thing this summer..YAWN!
  9. Denim skirt – IT’S back ladies…Madonna and I love it ! 😉
  10. Oversize denim jacket – mine says Lover on it ..what does yours say?  
  11. A Curling iron – this is not a garment… I am aware ! But I’m into waves of late and am trying to perfect them myself without getting glam squad involved on a daily basis.

So…these are the things that I have bought in multiples and the only things I will be wearing through the summer. Well maybe not the ONLY, but primarily. And of course I will continue giving you my unsolicited advice so you can keep your fashion game on point. This Summer is going to be great. Lots of FFF…family, friends and fun. Stay tuned, cause you know me…I WILL SHARE IF YOU SHOW ME LOVE…xoxo

Hello Gorgeous,

Calling all fashionistas 📢 Look at you over there… in that Zara top and J.Crew pants, looking as good if not better than the Gucci babe next to you 😉 . Yes Gorgeous! It is indeed possible… believe it. I am living proof (who knew!). This post will let you in on a few shop-till-you-drop websites that you have probably either missed or haven’t even heard of yet.

If you want to stay current with fashion trends (which will pass with the season) but don’t want to drop massive amounts of cash or max out your credit card… then this post is for you. So, take your screenshots right away. If you’re anything like how I used to be, and ShopBop, Revolve Clothing and Zara are your shopping haunts, you now have OPTIONS.  Don’t get me wrong, I still have their apps and browse through their new arrivals often (fine…daily!), but the following have become some of my go-tos if I want to look different, which is all the time.

And of course I wouldn’t share these websites with anyone but YOU. Having said that, I won’t reveal everything in one post…cause.. I still gotta look different. Hey we all have our issues… don’t judge 😉

Pixie Market – This is your go to for exaggerated shoulders and sleeves.

Front Row Shop  –  How do I put this? They know deconstructed and they know silhouettes, and most of all they know how to have fun with both.

Frankie Shop – So… it says high end when you open it up. It definitely LOOKS high end Gorgeous…isn’t that what we want? It’s called smart shopping.

& Other Stories – You’re going to enjoy yourself just browsing… that’s all I can say….besides clothing, the fun accessories and bags will make you hit that add to bag button pretty quick.

ASOS – I don’t know what you’re waiting for. If you haven’t been to ASOS…you have definitely  been living under a rock..get to it..PRONTO! Your party clothes are waiting.

You don’t have to spend a million bucks to look like it…ENOUGH SAID!

Now that you know where I shop (sometimes) and if we run into each other wearing the same thing… I’ll be glad to know that you’re reading 😉

It’s getting hot in here

Hello Gorgeous,

What did I tell you about the weather? Huh? Was I right or was I right? I could seriously moonlight as a weather forecaster 😉 . But don’t lose hope… our time will come and summer will be upon us sooner than you think. So, let’s take a quick run down at my list of summer must haves and if you’re missing any of these… you know what to do, as these items will fly off shelves and then you will be in panic mode! Save yourself the grief… RUN don’t WALK!

  1. Espadrilles – So fun, so comfortable, and pairs with everything other than your cocktail attire! These are the coolest shoes for the summer. Go out and get yourself a few colors.
  2. Straw bag – I’m going to use mine everyday, not only at the beach. In fact I’m going to ditch my everyday bag all together for a while and substitute it with one of these right now bags.
  3. Block/kitten heel – Giving my super high heels a rest. My feet are already thanking me 😉 .
  4. Striped shirt/tee shirt– Stripes are everywhere and a striped shirt/tee shirt is so versatile and will save you hours in decision making. It’s a no brainer.
  5. Start wearing that watch again – Did you give your watch a break for a few years? developed an unnatural attachment to your phone? (we can discuss that later)  I know I did. They are back gorgeous. Bring ‘em out and show ‘em off.
  6. Mules and slides –  So easy and yet so stylish; and for someone like me who can never find shoes that are comfortable, these are one of my go to’s at the moment.
  7. Logo tees – They are quite the rage right now… just give in… I did.
  8. High waisted jeans and denim shorts – There really is nothing to say. Can you open up a magazine or website without seeing these babies? Not really.
  9. Sunnies – the quirkier the better (for some). For me? I still love my over-sized Jackie O style sunglasses and I always will.
  10. All things pink (literally)….. Channel your inner 9 year old.
  11. An 80s inspired bathing suit – The high waist will help you (you know how 😉 )
  12. A logo belt – If there is one thing you need to get pronto..it’s a logo belt. Do I have to tell you which one?   

Happy shopping gorgeous. Hopefully some of you are vacationing right now or in the process of planning one. After all the running around, don’t forget to pack your new acquisitions. And most importantly, keep a good bottle of Rosé handy. It IS SUMMER after all….xoxo

Hello Gorgeous,

Are you one of the insanely stylish? Do you have it in ya? Well, do ya?

Jokes aside. These women have certain habits that they will not tell you about, and WHY SHOULD THEY?  But I will (cause I’m your closet stylist 😉 ). I will let you in on a few of these secret habits that help them be the uber stylish women that they are.  

  1. Plan Plan Plan  They plan their outfits days in advance(shoes and everything).They want to look stylish all the time. That means not having to rush. Some plan outfits for the entire week, others definitely the night before.
  2. They are not afraid of COLOR. These women know the importance of color and are confident enough to carry it off. Black is not their go-to! Shocker!!
  3. They dress for themselves not for others. They are not concerned with other people’s opinions of their sense of style. You have to be a bit of an égoïste (in a good way), if you know what I mean!
  4. They know that looking good is not about the price of something or the designer, but mixing and matching high end with affordable and fabulous brands. They are masters at mixing high-end labels with their local ones, and know how to spot a good deal.
  5. They are aware of what looks good on them and will not wear what is in the latest vogue in that exact ensemble just because ! They drive the trends in magazines and get Instagram’d.
  6. They experiment with different textures and find it utterly dull and boring playing it safe. No risk… No rewards!
  7. They don’t over accessorize and know that sometimes your outfit is the only accessory you need.
  8. They always take a last look at themselves before walking out the door, just to make sure 😉
  9. They are on a first name basis with their tailor. Who’s on your speed dial?
  10. They know that all they need to do each season is buy a few key pieces and since they are masters at putting it all together and can pretty much do it with their eyes closed..their fashion game is always on point.
  11. They know the names of all the affordable labels but will never tell. I won’t either…unless…unless the sun rises in the west or you become my bff . 😉
  12. They woke up like that! No gorgeous , they most certainly didn’t! It’s the HABITS they have cultivated that make the end result look effortless, yet still oh so stunning!

So we know you’re gorgeous… but are you UBER stylish? It’s never too late, adopt these habits. Make them a part of your life style and then…well then ..You’re pretty much THERE 🙂
