BOLD STRIPES
Stripes aren’t just for the nautically enthused. Take a lesson from Coco Chanel and turn stripes into a chic and modern wardrobe classic. REMINDER: Horizontal stripes can be very flattering. The trick is choosing a garment with great shape.
FLATS
These shoes are made for walking—Hooray! This season flats and low heels are making a comeback. Punch up your spring style with a flat shoe in a bold hue. Look for a brand like Cole Haan for comfort and style.
PEPLUM TOPS
This 19th Century fashion has made it’s way back onto the style scene. It’s a chic way to add a modern touch to a professional look. Pair a peplum top with your favorite pencil skirt. Best of all it’s a great way to accentuate a waist and hide a tummy.
GLOBE TROTTER
Ethnic prints and inspirations make up this seasons Globe Trotter trend. Swap out your traditional blazer for a funky patterned version.

There’s an art to traveling in style and it starts with your carry on bag. Use these tips the next time youlook for the perfect bag.
Choose a bag that is well constructed so it can handle the weight of the items you plan to put in it. Nothing is worse than having a bag malfunction because you put too much weight in a bag that wasn’t built to withstand it. I speak from experience on this one. A year ago I had a handle break on my carry on bag. Not fun!
The most important part of the bag is the handle. Too thin and it will dig intoyourshoulder leaving you wishing you left it at home. Look for a bag with a thick strap that feels comfortable and sturdy. The best situation is a bag with both a shoulder strapandhandles.
Know the measurements of your must-have carry on items. For instance if you always travel with your laptop be sure to measure your laptop and the width of your potential bag before purchasing it.
Choose a color that goes with everything. Space is valuable on a trip so most of the time your carry on bag can double as your day bag once you’ve reached your destination. I love a tan bag or even a great colored bag in a color like purple, red, or yellow.
(and you will look great, too)!
Last week during a closet edit I made over 40 “NEW” outfits using what was already in someone’s closet. Every closet I go in has more potential than it’s owner can see. The trick to shaking things up in your closet is playing dress up. Walk into your closet and force yourself to find an outfit you’ve never worn before. An easy way to do this is to pretend like you’re putting an outfit together for someone else. It takes the “I could never wear that” feeling out of the equation.Dress up is a powerful exercise. (And a common occurrence in my house.) You played dress up completely uninhibited as a kid and wore only what you liked and what made you feel fun. Here’s the secret…It’s the same thing as an adult. Read on to learn the formula for putting together the perfect outfit. Dress up! Have fun! And here’s to your style! |
