3 things right now...
1. Liquid leggins-they are very Rihanna and I love them! Liquid leggings are skin tight leggings that appear to be leather but they are made of a stretchy material. I got mine at Intermix but I know you can find them online
2. Big chunky rings-wear them on your first finger. It will make a statement and update your wardrobe!
3. Colored ankle booties-you can find them anywhere from Steve Madden to Nordstrom. Wear them with your leggings or skinny jeans tucked in.

Yes I am going there...
I have had it up to here (visualize my hand way above my head) with panty lines, bra straps, seeing women's rippling bra through their tops, and women showing EVERYTHING that goes on under your clothes...YUCK!
This might be the most important (and personal) convo we will have but it has to be done. The quickest way to ruin your clothes is to ignore your undergarments. Bras and panties are the foundation on which your clothing is established. If your foundation is shaky then your whole outfit is shot. First things first, always wear a smooth bra no matter what type of fabric your top is...save those lacy, see through, or patterned bras for the bedroom. When in doubt your safest bet is to go for a nude smooth bra. Body by Victoria® has some amazing bras now that will fit every shape and size. I love the new ipex wireless bra its great for all fabrics. Check out this web site for more selections and info http://www2.victoriassecret.com/collection/?cgname=OSBRPMWLZZZ&cgnbr=OSBRPMWLZZZ&page=all&nopaging=true&rfnbr=4606 Also, I am in love with the stick on boobies...I can honestly say they changed my life (and I am not being dramatic) they changed the way all my clothes fit. I got mine at Dillards but they are also available in most lingerie departments. Its a great alternative to the dreaded strapless bra and once it is on you do not feel it. Im telling you it is an amazing product.
As for the southern region...I can not say it enough...SPANX!!!! Every women needs to own a pair of Spanx! No matter if you are a size 0 or a size 24 you must own at least one pair of body shapers. I wear them almost every day under everything from jeans to sweater dresses. It will take you down about 10 lbs. and you will appear at least one size smaller. Your clothes will fit better and you will never have the dreaded panty line which is the culprit for most wardrobe homicides. There are tons of different brands of body shapers out there. You can find them at Target, Nordstorm, Neimans, Dillards, Victoria Secret, or online. I personally like Spanx because I feel they give the most support and they suck my side fat in the best.
I will tell you a quick story that inspired me to touch on this topic. I was at a really posh event last week for an amazing new charity (I totally felt like I was walking into a house on MTV cribs or Gossip Girl). My first thought was OMG what the heck they have a pool in their living room????? Then we sat down and a beautiful lady stood up to talk she was a mix between Naomi Campbell and Iman...she was drop dead gorgeous. I could only assume she came straight in off the runways in Paris. Well, she stood up and she had on this knock out clingy black dress and my eyes went straight to her panty line. It ruined her whole outfit. It was a tragic mistake and one that led me to share this issue with you.
***note the names and locations of this incident have been changed to protect the innocent and the fashion victim of this horrible messy crime.
To sum it all up for you...next time you get dressed take a moment to evaluate your bras and panties from all angles. The public wants to see your clothes not your thong string!

To wear white? or not to wear white? That is the question...
This time of year drums up the age old question all women around the U.S. ponder...is it ok to wear white after labor day? My answer in one word. YES! Go for it! This dated rule went out the window about the time women started burning their bras in protest. My advice when wearing white in the fall and winter would be to make sure the item is made from a fall/winter fabric and is lined. This means that the item should be a heavier fabric. Do not wear anything thing in white that is made from linen, denim, light weight cotton, nylon, poly jersey, or knit. When wearing white pants make sure they are lined. Be sure to mix your white clothing item with a deep color like berry or black. You can carry any shade of white purse just tie a fall colored scarf around the handle and you will create a great look. I would stay away from white shoes although it is not against the "rules" I just find that most white shoes are made for a spring/summer look. Be daring, be modern, and be careful to not show your panties and bra when wearing your winter white garments! Good luck!

Fall must haves...
Fall 2008 Must Haves:
1. The feminine blouse
2. All things berry colored
3. The soft satchel
4. The standout coat
5. The skinny belt
6. The statement necklace
7. The bootie shoe
8. A touch of plaid
9. The short jacket
10. Anything with lace
Ladies listen up...fall is almost here. Now is the time to stop buying summer items and start focusing on fall and winter pieces. As you may have noticed fall items have already made their way into most stores. With the arrival of fall also comes a shift in wardrobe. This does not mean you need to go through your closet and trash all your existing fall/winter items this just means its time to update and rework your clothes to fit the new trends. It may sound like a daunting task but take a deep breath and let me walk you through it. With these 3 easy steps you will look trendy and fashionable for the upcoming season. First things first evaluate your fall/winter wardrobe and group together everything that fits NOW and evaluate then toss/donate items that look tired or too worn. Next, group all similar pieces together for example put all long sleeve shirts together, skirts, pants, jeans...ect. This will help ease the frustration in the mornings when trying to pick something to wear. Finally, take this list of 10 must haves for fall and cross check it with your existing wardrobe. You will find that you probably already have at least a couple of these items. This list is here to help you buy efficiently for the upcoming season. You do not have to spend tons of money just pick what feels comfortable for you and mix these new items with your current items and you will find you now have a whole new modern fashionable wardrobe as easy as 1,2,3!
