Lovely skirts, oh lala....

This new trend of stripped skirts is oh so fab....

God how I love these new skirts they are so cute. They are short but yet so classy, I love how you can mix and match with other knits. 

I added this set I put together on polyvore to show different textures.

Here in this set I combined a stripped skirt with a Victoria Beckham Satin blouse. I added the Patent Black heels to give the feel of sexiness, but also added the black Michael Kors bag for sophistication. The Bag has details of gold so I added the gold Juicy Couture watch and a black bracelet with gold details to finish this outfit. I love details, enhancing with small pieces or accessories enhances the look. Below I added the link, it will show you the brand and where to shop for similar pieces...

Ok, so here is a stripped dress in blue, isn't lovely??....

What I love about these is, you can dress them up or down. You can wear sandals and a straw hat or add heels, cute bag to these stripped beauties...   

 

This bottom picture is the same pattern in a bit longer version. I love how it flows, this bottom picture is mixed with another pattern, so chic and trendy, it's paired with nude heels and a tan bag. I love this look...

Happy holidays...Glimmer and shimmer galore!!!

 Happy Holidays ladies and New Year!!!!
Excited to share this weeks blog, as my vacation from blogging was far to long...I'm starting the new year strong. I have new and exciting things to share. So how about ending and beginning the year with great style...I have gathered some pictures of delightful outfits. From your basic blacks to the most shimmering gorgeous outfits. Stating top left, legendary black tea skirt, put together with a plain long black blouse. Adding a gorgeous gold piece of jewelry OMG, smashing!
The look to the right is gorgeous ruffled dress. Paired with amazing rhinestone heels. I love this look, I found similar dresses at Macy's.

This next one is soooo pretty. I know if I had a smaller waist this would be my dress. I have broad shoulders and a big back, although I wear a jacket on top I love the way it looks bare. Adding gold heels and a gold clutch, Oh la, la!!!

 Next are the Reds.. For all you hotties, that love to wear red, how about this wrap dress. Paired with nude heels and gold clutch..This outfit can also be paired with black heels and black clutch. Or red heels and gold or black clutch. Have fun with red!!

 This red outfit is very classy and sophisticated, adding red, red and more red with pearls. A ladies dream night...I choose this look for women who are more conservative, who want to look amazing and not have to be to showy. Most of these dresses where found at Macy's. Bottom left, this beautiful red is very chic, if your going for a first time family party, I would definitely stick to this. I love short sequins but for first impressions on family I would suggest this look. Super hot but yet so classy...

Now for glitter and shimmer galore!!!!

Ahhhh, shimmery dresses, oh mama!! How can you say No, to these. I know, I can hear the excuse already, but it's 2014 and your still alive. According to predictions we were supposed be dead many times over. So celebrate that your alive another year in SEQUINS'...This dress to the left is very simple and all you have to add are small earrings and heels and your done. The Blue at bottom is great if you have more curves, if you feel like you have to add a girdle then this is your dress. One thing about a dress like this, it will suck you in, meaning it will make you look good in all the right places. For more flavor add gold accessories, to play it down black clutch and heels..

 This gorgeous dress to the left is amazingly beautiful, adding a black jacket and small clutch is all you need. Shoes, go with black strap sandal heels or patent black heels. It's too much gold to add more shimmer. Different than the blue on top. This beauty would be better in non-glimmer shoes!
The look to the right is simply adorable, it's so simple yet so pretty. It's a plain long skirt with a sequins spaghetti top. What makes it pop? The accessories, adding a big bracelet and pretty clutch makes all the difference.

  Now let's look at our casual looks. I know that now everyone will attend a big event, a huge party.
 I know, although I get invited to glam parties, this year I want to stay in with family.
 I added some simple yet glamorous looks. Jeans we all have in our closet. Heels, well you decide how much you want to glam it up. Nude, gold, black. Have fun, remember you want to end the year in style. All these tops can be found at either, H & M, Forever 21, Norstrom, Bloomingdale's, Kolh's...The heels also, you can try Steve Madden as well.

I've added the following site for your help. Enjoy!!!

Scarfs, tight for the holidays and my own creations...

 Scarfs, tight and boots for the fall and holidays season

How fun is dressing during the fall season, boots, scarfs and tights have not gone out of fashion. I added tights to my outfit pairing it with boots a long button down with a jacket. Although it might not seem that tights are appropriate for the office I added a long button down to make sure I covered my butt. I looked professional and fashionable. Tights and jacket are from forever 21, boots are Nine West. Button down from my closet...

This season is for wearing wild prints and lot's of boots, it's always great to experience an outfit once it's all put together. I know I envision my outfits at night..lol, my craziness!!! With the cold weather in the air and skinny jeans it's not hard to dress them up, I have several pairs of tights I tend to layer clothing during the cold season, if I'm wearing a dress I add tights or long shirt. Mix it up...



 Next scarfs.....While practicing my sewing I created a leopard skirt that didn't come out as I wished and while playing around I put it around my head, guess what WALLA.. a scarf was born. More like a bib scarf, non the less it looked really cute. I paired it with my favorite skinny jeans and skinny belt, to compliment my casual chic look I wore my boot cut shoes that I just love...My shoes are Carlos Santana, my skinny belt and white button down shirt are from H&M my sweater is vintage, bib scarf my own creation.

                  

 

The next scarf for the Holiday season again this is just a long piece of material that I sewed at the ends creating a chic look. I go for looking fashionable and making the most out of my projects. I just wanted to share that although you might think a piece of clothing is ready to be thrown out try recycling and see what you get. (Same day changed out the scarf).

Thanks for taking the time to look over my blog this week. I hope to bring creativity and invite you to have fun with your clothes. You never know what you can create. Usually the clothing that will look stupid is the chic look you are hiding within you.

Fashionable attire..Skirts oh la la!

Where skirts meet Gorgeous looks....

 Oh my god, Skirts!

Although my love for pencil skirts is my favorite, this new trend with tea lenght  skirts is pretty cute. Wow!, here is a picture of  Lauren Conrad wearing a green skirt with a lovely sleeveless top, black heels looking super glam.

 

  

                                                                                 Same skirt in a different color, Red with a lace top and nude heel. You can definitely take this skirt from a summer to fall look. Adding a cardigan or long sleeve. This look will look amazing for an evening holiday party...

 Another lace top with a Tull (tutu) skirt, although not everyone is willing to wear a Tull skirt as lovely as it is the right version has a Tull underneath, wearing a light- weight sweater can make you look feminine and chic. For all these look the traditional heel is used.
 I believe in mixing things up, play with your heels or flats you might just create an amazing look. 



Here is another version of a Tull tutu skirt, a lot fuller but you can't deny the playfulness in this look. The picture on the left she is wearing black flats with a big belt, very girly!! The girl on the right is wearing a fitted simple tee with a lace tutu and heels. What a difference it makes. This would be a great outfit for the Holiday season.

Thank you for looking into this weeks blog for a fashionable attire. Enjoy, have fun, be different, be you!

What to wear on Thanksgiving...

Happy early Turkey day!!!!

Good day ladies, for today's blog I just wanted to share some fashion inspirations for cute outfits...
I love wearing something new for Thanksgiving, it's my way of being thankful.
It's a celebration that deserves dressing up. I feel like when I was a kid going to church putting on your Sunday's best dress..
So celebrate in your cutest outfit.
What are you thankful for?
and what will you be wearing?

Here are a few outfits to help you coordinate an outfit. Top right outfit, since leggings are still going add a cute sweater and boots.
You can add large sweaters or Poncho..Walla! remember to add accessories.

Side right. Want to be comfy in jeans, add a cute top and heels. Belt can be optional, heels will change the look to any outfit. Although not pictured here, if you are in cold weather, adding boots to these skinny jeans is definitely do-able, adding a blazer jacket will be a plus.




Side left, love this trench coat, if you have chilly weather a sweater dress and boots can really make you stand out. The trench coat gives you that final look. coordinating accessories will only add to this outfit, you can also layer a scarf and skip on earrings, too much will be too much!!!

Green skinnies, YUP!, color skinny jeans are so fab, it's great for the holidays. What a simple look, yet so cute and fabulous. All she did was add a jacket, leather optional; a scarf, booties and DONE!
Yes, ladies you too can look this cute in a matter of seconds.

Last but not least, if you are still having warm weather like us Californians. Look for a dress with floral print. A skinny belt to make your colors pop, add a cardigan sweater or a cropped jacket. Adding heels to this look, will make you look amazing. Boots can be added to this look keep them short under the knee. You don't want to over kill this look. 










Thank you for stopping in this week for fashion inspirations, hope this has helped. Sending you blessings for a Happy Thanksgiving, Enjoy your family, friends and eat lot's of Turkey!!

4 Simple ways to Mix and Match and outfit...

Mix and Match the new trend...

With Fall in the air it's easy to have fun coordinating your outfits. 

Have you noticed that matching an outfit doesn't have to be necessary? 

Ah yes, I remember the day of matching my jacket with my shoes. (LOL)

The fun thing about trend setting this season is that's playable... So let's begin.

1. Not only is layering in, but adding a plaid shirt with a sweater and jacket...Add this look to jeans or skirt.

Or  add a plain dress with long sleeves, add a sweater, heels and wallaa!!!

The picture below she's wearing a long sleeve denim shirt with a leopard sleeveless dress, tights and brown booties. Talk about mix and match. Too cute!

2.  Stripe it up.. What's so different in this look?. The trend is wearing stripes on stripes. The more dimensions the better. Vertical, horizontal stripes, mix them up and have fun.

3. Look number 3 is "Smart" wear shorts all year long.

 That's right ladies.... love shorts???, then add tights and there you go. Adding a sweater or jacket accents your look. Looking super fab and trendy.

4. Look number 4 is SWEATERS....sweaters have always been in but the look this season is to cute, animals, dots, bows, you name it, it's in. Funny but really, mixing is so much in that you just have to join the crowd on this. Don't be afraid to go into your closet pull out an old sweater and add cute jeans, skirt.

Get creative..

Thank you for taking the time to read this weeks blog. Look forward to the coming weeks. The holidays are my favorite...Parties galore!

As always stay classy. Till next time.

Looking good and feeling good...outfits that work for you!

Looking good and feeling good....

Why is it that when we are all dressed up we feel good??? 

Does our self-esteem rise, do we perform better.??

 I know for me, if I'm dressed to impress it's also important to feel comfortable..

   " If you feel good, you look good" 

Funny isn't it, it you look good you feel good, when the opposite works so much better. 

                                So today let's venture out seeking options...

         

Looking gorgeous while maintaining class

There is a fine line of being sexy, looking gorgeous and being classy. The old school rules come in play here. In the older days, the school rule was 2 inches above the knee anything higher was unacceptable. "Darling keep it classy not trashy" show respect for your body and this will maintain looking classy.

                 Followed by;

Choose clothes that emphasize your best assets and fit well

That's right ladies, just because you can put it on doesn't mean it fits...Too tight, yeah, major killer. If you can't sit comfortable, bend down appropriately, maybe it can sit in your closet. 

Remember this is where "feel good" comes in. I know sometimes you love the blouse the dress, those cute jeans or pretty heels. After 10 minutes of wearing OUCH! is what your body is saying.  If the skirt feels too short, and you’re self-conscious walking around in it and your constantly pulling at the hem, it probably too short.

Go for something longer and strut your outfit without having to adjust. As long as you feel good, you look good – and you don’t need to follow every single fad trend.

          Leading me to my next subject;

Looking great does not need to cost a fortune

Yes, that's right. For many we think I have to spend a lot of money on pricey clothing to look good. Ummm, not really!. Being a single mom I had to learn to cut corner and look presentable, as I started teaching I knew I had to look sharp. I first started at the basics because I like brand name clothes. Ross, Marshall's. Then  I didn't care, so I went fashionable. Cute stuff at Forever 21, Vintage, The Rack, H & M, Macy's outlet..or Clearance rack. Don't be ashamed ladies, looking good has nothing to do with how expensive your outfit is. 

At the end of the day it's how you feel, not how much was your outfit.

I get compliments all the time. Sometimes it's a mix and combinations. Do what works...

 Following with;

Develop your own sense of style, and invest in a few quality pieces

Figure out what looks good on you,what do you like, what feels good to wear, and what compliments your personality and body in terms of colours, flow of the clothing, size and fit. Then, experiment! Have fun! Remember playing dress up begins at 5, but truly never ends....

 Heels too tight..Try another pair!

Jeans don't fit, wear a dress instead...

The right fit, and color can make a difference...

Happy outfitting!!!
