If your body type is straight up and down you need to create curves by using different tools that I am going to tell you about. Tailoring, ruffles, pleating, draping and contrasting colors are all great tools from your tool box to use!
You want to avoid the tube top type neckline; meaning straight across. It flattens your chest and emphasizes the fact that you don't have a waist. A vneck is great for you or a rounded neckline. The sexiest thing you could wear is a deep v neck with draping. Bailey 44 usually has great pieces that fall into this category.
Stay away from solid colored dresses that have no shape. You need something more fitted and color blocking works great! Think cropped jackets and cropped sweaters with a slim tunic or fitted tee underneath. Pleated pants are a must to add shape, and stay away from the skinny jean. The skinny jean will give you a pencil shape and will add zero curves.
Instead go for a straight leg jean. Of course you can always rock the boot cut. Skirts are great for you! Straight up and downs usually have great legs, show them off! The legging with a riding boot, short vest and fitted tunic is a hot look for you! Remember you need to add design and when shopping look for items that will give you a waist! Victoria's Secret "Back Off Baby Low Back Bustier" is a convertible strapless shaper that helps manage your middle and create curves. It is $58 at http://www.victoriassecret.com/

White Jeans/Pants and Labor Day
Do you really need to stop wearing white after Labor Day? The answer to me depends on where you live. I love white pants, white jeans, and white skirts. White is clean, healthy, and bright. It does have a summer feel to it, some white clothing has a different weight to it and is not acceptable for a cold fall or winter day. Think linen! But you don't have to pack away your favorite whites if you live in certain parts of America.
So here in California it is 98 degrees today and will still be 98 degrees on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and most likely through the end of the month. I am sure the same goes for Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and other southern states. I can assure you that next Friday on my way to meet my girlfriends for cocktails on the outdoor patio at our favorite restaraunt I will wear my white capris if my heart desires. I think you should too! My rule for where I live is no white after October 1st. If you are in a warm climate you should live by the same rule. The only place you can get away with white all year long is Hawaii!
If I were still living in Chicago I would not wear white after Labor Day. I would not wear white in New York nor anywhere where it feels like fall. Do you wonder where this rule started? The roots of the idea that people should not wear white after Labor Day appear to be shrouded in mystery! No one really knows!
I do know the rule started out with white pumps and dresses. You know what I think about white pumps? They should never be worn at any time of the year, unless you are a bride! What is acceptable after Labor Day is winter whites. Winter whites is creme and ivory. I love a creme or ivory long wool coat! Yum!
Keep your passion for fashion alive and kicking and keep checking in with me for more fashion tips, how to's and advice that will keep you the envy of most!

Hot Colors For Fall....
I admit it; my favorite color to wear in fall, umm, winter, umm spring, and yes, summer is black. I think we all love to wear black. I am not going to try and say that I am going to start wearing color, that is a lie, I will always stay with black. But what I can do is add accent colors to go with my black. For instance a colored scarf or tee or blazer or hat or shirt will take you from your head to toe black and looking like you are heading to a funeral to looking like you are the sunshine in the cloudy day.
Some of my favorite fall accent colors are red, camel, grey, and purple. Camel and black are super sophisticated and classy together. Find a rocking camel blazer, put on a fitted tee or black turtleneck underneath, add a pair of skinny jeans, high boots and you are Yale smart and New York chic!
I love grey oversized sweaters. Take a grey sweater and pair it with a pair of black ponte pants or legging and tall riding boot and you scream sexy and confident. Grey is a hard color for some to wear, if you are one of the people that can't wear grey try chocolate brown or charcoal grey. Charcoal grey is almost black. It is a great alternative to heather grey.
Purple is one of my favorite colors to wear. I am talking deep purple, think plum. I love purple in a crisp shirt or sweater or even a leather jacket. Almost everyone can wear purple. Purple doesn't wash you out and looks great with denim and black!
Red and black is simply sexy! My favorite color is red and I love wearing it with black! The sexiest thing a woman can wear, in my opinion, is a red dress with a black stiletto. I love a black leather jacket with ponte pants, and a red tee, add some stiletto boots and you are sexier than Beyonce on stage shacking it for the world.
Green is gorgeous, orange is another favorite, you need to decide what color works best with your skin and hair color. While wearing all black is hot and sexy, you have to mix it up, make it your own, and have fun with your passion for fashion!

2 sites=DEALS DEALS DEALS
I love deals and steals almost more than chocolate! There are plenty of sites out there that you have to join, but my two favorites just require you to get your mouse and click on their web domain and start shopping.
This first site is http://www.theoutnet.com/. Now the merchandise is end of the season merch, or last years styles, and they do have limited sizes, BUT if you find your size and a piece you love, you have SCORED! They carry the best of the best designers and fabulous styles; I don't care if they are two years ago or end of the season, they have some great stuff. You can't go wrong when you have the potential to own James Perse, Jimmy Choo, Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs, Vince, Dolce & Gabbana, and 7 for all mankind for 40-60% off! I only named a miniscule amount of lines; there are plenty more of the lines available that we all love and just wish we could buy; now you can!
The second site is http://www.metroparkusa.com/. Metropark also has brick and mortar stores. When you get to their website click on store locator and see if there is a store near you!
So why do I love this site and store? Because you can get great trends for under $100! The denim is regular priced; the True Religion is still $268, but they have other great denim lines for around the $100 price tag. I searched the site this morning for you. I am so good at finding the deals that will seal your look! Here is a list of the following must haves at metroparkusa right now!
Chambray Pleat Dress $64
Tiered Ruffle Dress $69
Ruched Asymmetrical Dress $64
Olive Tube Button Dress $64
Grey Off The Shoulder Tee $19.50
3/4 Slouch Tee $21.75
Olive Crop Tee $19.50
New Benatar Daisy Vest $49.99
Beaded Ruffle Top $48
Sequin Bandaeu Bra Top $19.50 this bandeau will make you sizzle under an overized tank or vest or blazer
Cross Back Tunic $54
Reverse Seam Tunic $54
Euro Cut Out top $36.75
Now for the must have accessorie: Camo Print Scarf for $12
The only thing I have a hard time recommending on sites unless they are from a known designer or are cashmere is sweaters and knits. I am a big believer in investing in a few good cashmere or a great cotton sweater for the fall and winter. You need a fitted cardigan, a long cardigan, maybe an oversized sweater and a great v-neck. The other styles of sweaters, especially the hoodie, is just cake and you can eat those up too after you have the basics. The problem with cheap sweaters and knits is they look cheap, they get holes and they pill! Leave them alone. You need to really feel the sweater and look at it, unless it is cashmere or from a well know designer!

Shopbop.com, simply the best.....
I have to dedicate this entire blog to http://www.shopbop.com/ I have shopped this site for years and years. This site is not a discount site, but they do have great sales! You can find every designer from A to Z on this site. I do love looking at the True Religions, the Citizens, Diane, and my friend Robert, but what I really love are the designers on the site that you can't find everywhere. I am going to tell you about a few lines that I love that you can find at shopbop but maybe not at your local boutique or department store.
I fell in love with Only Hearts and Cosabella years ago when I lived in Santa Fe, NM. A few small boutiques carried them and I have been wearing them ever since. When I opened my store I knew Only Hearts was a must. The following are a few of my favorite pieces that are on shopbop.com right now!
Bouquet Bralette, $55 and gorgeous! You want to wear this with a vest or a low cut tank.
Venice Thong, $40, pretty and pricey, but worth it!
Leah Lace Chemise, $75, this is made for a weekend away with your man!
I swear by Cosabella panties. They are comfortable and last forever. Go for the Never Say Never Cutie Low Rise for $18. The Soire Low Rider Thong is $17 and hot like it is 104 degrees out! The Ever Low Rise Hot Pants for $30 screams come hither. Finally, you can't miss with the Talco G String for $17.
I have loved pieces by Foley & Corrina for years. Right now the Peplum Dress for $425 is a must!
Genetic denim is like wearing butter. The fit and feel is soft and luxurious. The Liam Straight Leg is so sophisticated and a must have. The Share Cigarette Jean is sure a hit. Check them out!
Shopbop carries my favorite rain boot, Hunter. Stick with the original Gloss Rain for $125.
Lets talk about Velvet for a minute. Velvet and I started our love affair at the boutique Bodhi Bazaar in Santa Fe, NM. I knew when I opened my boutique Velvet would be a hit with my clients, and boy was I right. Velvet is quality cottons and cashmere. The fit is unbelievable, the prices and unbeatable, and make you say, "No way!" And I say, "Yes way!" Lets talk about Velvet must haves for right now!
Mailla Top $93
Maribeth Shirt $99
Mahlee Dress $119
Do you want the sexy dress that will make the room stop to look at you when you enter? Then you need the Finn Dress for the wonderful price of $128
The cashmere sweaters are glorious and the prices are great! Don't miss this deliveries merchandise!
Anything by Susana Monaco is wonderful. The fits are sexy, and they last for years. Rebecca Taylor is a must also. Her pieces are sexy and feminine. I love her dresses! You want gym clothes that make your butt look better than J Lo's, go for the So Low's! You can leave the gym and go about your day without ever changing.
You can never miss with James Perse, Vince, and Tory Burch is a sure hit when it comes to bags, shoes, and trendy, but conservative pieces. I do love Ella Moss, but items seem to fall apart or lose their shape in the wash. My new favorite is Soft Joie! The Ariel and Mesa top are must haves, and the Irwin Hoodie gave me goosebumps.

Online shopping........I am your guide!
You must realize I love to shop! I love fashion, I love shoes, I love styling women, and I love cruising the internet looking for deals, finding steals, and figuring out the best sites to shop from. I consider a website worth my time, my money and my clients money if they meet three of my criterias:
1. Their merchandise has to be stylish, hip and have a variety of merch to choose from.
2. Prices need to be reasonable, affordable, and never over the top. If I want to shop pricey I will head to Nordstrom or Neimans.com
3. I have to get a good clear picture of the merchandise. If the photograph is blurry or they don't show a close up or photograph the model or show from different views I am out of there. I need to know how the product looks from close up and different angles.
I am going to start our online shopping guide with three sites I recommend. I will add another three tomorrow. Lets get started!
One of my first go to sites is http://www.lulus.com/ Trendy, hip, and cool! This site is perfect for the twentysomethings and the thirty and fortysomethings can pick up a few pieces. Did I mention cheap and way reasonable? Prices are extraordinary. My three must haves from this site:
Kiss of Noveau Dress! HOT HOT HOT
$34, yes you read that right, $34. It would be smokin with a pair of high boots, even thigh highs. I want this dress!
The Runaway Denim Vest: COOL, HIP, and TRENDY
$50. Pair this vest with a white tee, a pair of ponte pants, or dark skinny jean, add some sexy tie up boots and you are ready for the pub crawl. Or take this look to the movies, or dinner out with some girlfriends.
The Gallerist Black Top
$46 and you will wow your spouse or boyfriend. Throw on some sexy heels with the skinny jean and you will be throwing this outfit off by the time you get home if you make it out the door. Add sexy hair and make-up and you are ready for anything.
I am not impressed with any of the sweaters on this site. Leave the denim there too; we can do better elsewhere.
Moving on to http://www.madewell.com/ I love this site. Free shipping and returns on all jeans. Lets start with the jeans. They have great styles and amazing prices.
Vintage Low Flare. It is flared and it is fabulous and it is only $95.
Bootlegger jeans in madewell wash. This comes in @ $89.50 and needs to shipped out to your closet!
Skinny Boyfriend jean is a must have. $98.50
They have shoes! I am in lust with the Ilse Jacobsen short rain boot! Grab the blue, black or pink, they cost $154. The archive leather boot in English Saddle for $298 is luxurious. The site tries to sell you on the slouch sweatpants and the shrunken leather jacket; don't buy them! Go to target and get some hanes sweatpants and no one needs a leather jacket that doesn't fit properly!
The last site I will review right now is all about shoes: http://www.piperlime.com/ If you love shoes you will feel like you have died and gone to heaven. They have every kind of shoe. They are quality and affordable. Lets get this shoe show on the road!
Steve Madden A-Roxana Boot $169 HOT
Kelsi Dagger Brotute $140 Fashionable Fabulous
Steve Madden Londerman $109 Moto Hip, I must have
MUST HAVE PUMPS
Joan & David Flip $149-$200 Dark Red Paint

What looks have come back from the past?
Clogs are back! I love clogs. I think clogs are sexy, sophisticated, and versatile. The clog can actually make the ankle look hot; the best look to me is a clog with a capri boyfriend jean. That is smokin! Of course ladies I am talking about a clog with a heel; one without a heel screams I am wanting to be a nun or heading to a job where comfort is what it is all about. Now, that's ok, but not to meet a girlfriend for lunch, or a trip to the city for shopping, or happy hour with the hubby. The clog looks best when shown off with the hip outfit. Think loose denim, maybe a few rips, a great white tee and a fabulous blazer paired with a sexy clog. Lauren by Ralph Lauren makes a hot clog called "Stasia". It is $98 and a combo of leather and suede. I love the "Fawn" clog by Diane Von Furstenberg for $295. You can find them at http://www.net-a-porter.com/
The Messenger Bag is back and has a message, she is here to stay! The messenger bag has never left my closet. I love this bag for it's versatility and ability to hold anything from work needs to your favorite Chanel lipstick.
One of my favorite looks and color to wear is army, army green! In for fall, and the bandwagon you should jump on is the army jacket. There is nothing fancy or dressy about the army jacket; it is a casual but cool jacket. It looks fantastic with the ripped skinny or straight jean with a fabulous boot. You can go long, short, or regular length. Stay away from the cropped. Check out Gap and JCRew for cool looks with great prices for this jacket. I love the "summer surplus" linen cotton jacket at http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/ It is pricey, $650, but check it out and the look around for the same look for less.
Denim jackets are super hot again. I just pulled my Juicy denim jacket out that I purchased five years ago! Denim jackets go in and out, but when they are in, you need to jump on this boat and depart when the ride is over. When you get off board hopefully you have a great denim jacket that you can pack away for it's next trip, like mine, whether 2, 3 or 4 years later. The key to having that perfect denim jacket is staying classic with the look. No patches, or too many rips, all you need is a great wash to keep bringing this jacket back. I love the dark wash denim jacket, the faded, and the classic or slim fit. You can always find a great jean jacket from Levi's, http://www.levi.com/ for a very reasonable price. Of course you will find a fabulous jean jacket from a lot of the premier denim lines.
The clog will look great with any of these jackets while sporting the totally cool messenger bag. Guys have fun with these looks, and make them your own!

Of course you will find a fabulous jean jacket from a lot of the premier denim lines.
The clog will look great with any of these jackets while sporting the totally cool messenger bag. Guys have fun with these looks, and make them your own!
