Tip of the Week- Mixing and Matching Prints and Solids

It’s always fun to shake things up a bit by wearing a funky print, but NEVER EVER try and mix more than one print; it will just end up looking like a disaster! To keep things mutual and fresh try wearing a solid top with a fun printed jacket or vice versa. Also if wearing a printed top, opt for a solid bottom!

Beautiful Fall Boots

Fall is the IT season for boots! Boots are a must have accessory for the season! New must have styles are: Animal Print Boots Embellished Boots   Suede Boots (P)Leather Boots Metallic Boots Faux Shearling/Faux Fur Boots   Navajo Inspired Boots

Find the right boot for YOU

Men and women always have a hard time finding the right length boot that looks good for them, but by following these guidelines you can’t go wrong finding the right boot for this Fall! If you are short (women -5’4 and shorter; men-5’8 and shorter): try ankle boots or booties If you are medium height (women-5’5-5’8; men-5’9-5’11): try a mid length (hitting you calf) boot or ankle boots If you are tall (women-5’9 and taller; men-6’ and taller): try boots that come up to your knees or above your knees. Since you are taller you can get away with ankle and mid length boots as well.

Metallic

Metallic anything and everything is showing up everywhere, from make up to handbags to jewelry to belts to dresses! Metallic is the IT trend and accessory for this Fall 2011! Metallic Make Up The Sak and Elliott Lucca Metallic Handbags Metallic Jewelry J.CREW Metallic Belts Metallic Dresses  

Slimming Secret

A special little slimming secret for men and women is to wear the same color on the top and the bottom! It elongates the figure and gives the allusion of a slender physique.

Cowl Necks

Cowl neck sweaters can be worn so many multiple ways! One top- endless possibilities! Draped in the front Off the shoulder Boat neck (both sides off the shoulder) As a hood (if enough fabric allows, a cowl neck can be used as a hood!)

Tip of the Week- Long Cardigans

Ladies: Long cardigans can be worn other ways then just as a pull over. You can also wear a long cardigan as a dress simply by belting it or buttoning it all the way down   if there are buttons! Men: Long cardigans are a great alternative to the jacket and when belted gives a cozy yet put together look. 

Tip of the Week- Necklaces

Ladies, simply by wearing a long necklace(s) it helps to elongate the figure.

Tip of the Week

For men and women with shorter legs, or if you are just short in general, hightop shoes and sneakers gives the allusion of even shorter legs! It cuts off the lower part of the calf making the legs look even shorter than normal! To avoid this shortening effect stick with shoes and sneakers that are cut below the ankle bone!
