Celebrity Redo: Eva Longoria

I’m not going to trash Eva because the girl looks fine 99.9% of the time.   And the dress isn’t really ugly; it just has this grandma-vibe to it.  So I swapped out the flowered wrap dress for a sexy but simple tube dress.  I also  added a funky red clutch (that I LOVE) which can also be used as a cross bodybag and kept within the look of her accessories.  What do you think of Eva’s look….hot or not?

Celebrity Redo: Beyonce Knowles

Shoes hot.  Shorts cute.  But when put together with a safari-like jacket it just doesn’t work for the everyday gal.  Beyonce looks great, of course, but the outfit just seems too Hollywood. The shoes are a bit overpowering for the outfit and the shorts simply look out of place.  So I went ahead and swapped Beyonce’s denim shorts for a denim pencil skirt and added shoes that were more understated.  What do you think of Beyonce’s outfit?

Celebrity Redo: Get Victoria Beckham’s Look for Under $100!

I love it when Victoria Beckham dresses down.  To me, she looks just as chic even without the expensive designer outfits.   These baggy boyfriend jeans are the perfect example (I wonder if they’re David’s?).   I decided to break down her outfit in two ways: one with the strapless top and the other without for those of you who deplore going strapless (you’ll notice that for this option I swapped out the strapless top with a spaghetti strap tank and cropped jacket, but kept the rest of her ruggedly chic look intact.  Each outfit is under $100. Hope you like it!

Fall Trends For Every Shape

Curvy women look best in fitted clothing.  The idea is to play up your shape. One way of showing off your figure is to highlight your waist and streamline your silhouette.  Belts and heels can work wonders for your appearance (they help show off your waist and balance your curves).

This season pear shaped women will look best in A-line skirts, boot cut jeans, and ruffled tops.

Women with boyish figures can take advantage of layered looks to create a waist.  Don’t forget to rock some skinny jeans to make your hips and booty look rounder.

Big busted women look great in dresses that emphasize their waist. This season you can wear dark colors like Plum, Black, and charcoal Gray.

Women who are petite should stick to simple cuts and shapes. Keep cuts close to the body and hem lines longer if the fit is loose (and shorter if fitted). Oh, and don’t forget to throw on some heels to add some height!

Summer Chic

The Summer is not just about tanks and shorts anymore. Shorts can make an outfit sexy and laid back. The old ripped and torn look of jean shorts are long gone. Todays shorts are modern and versatile. Where them to the park and change your top for the evening, throw on a chic blouse with a pair of heels and voila…Summer chic. There is no excuse not to look chic in shorts. We have an enormous amount of options available to us. My favorite stores are Top Shop, H&M, and Nordstrom. These stores have all different types of styles and price ranges.
