Five tips to help you keep your New Years Style Resolutions

1. Making more room in my closet:
Take it one step at a time. Start by simply moving out anything in your closet that isn’t actually clothes or accessories.

2. I want to wear more of the clothes I have:
Pull out three pieces you never wear every week and make a commitment to wear them that week. If you have nothing to wear with an item, start a shopping list. Make it work, or get rid of it!

3. I would like to be able to put together more stylish outfits:
Make sure that everything you wear out the door is completed with details. Jewelry, belts, scarves, and shoes that actually work with what you are wearing will make all the difference. If you pay attention to the details it will look like you made that extra effort.

4. I want to feel great in everything I wear:
If you don’t love it get rid of it. If it just serves a functional purpose but doesn’t make you feel great then find a replacement for the piece that serves the same function but makes you feel like a million bucks!

5. I want to get dressed up more often, and not always end up in the same boring look:
When you find yourself reaching for the same old Jeans, try a casual skirt instead; grab a fun Jacket instead of the same old fleece.

Holiday Luxury!

‘Tis the season for dressing up. So have some fun getting ready for those Holiday parties. Enjoy the process of going all out and getting out your finest.

This year it really is all about Luxury. Think shiny silk, lace, soft velvet and especially fur. Fur is the Ultimate in Luxury is seen everywhere; from big dramatic capes to trim on a bracelet.

And if you are not into real fur, don’t worry the imitation stuff is just as easy to find as the real thing.
With Luxury, you also need Glamour. Think Sparkle and color.

Sequins are everywhere this season; they are being worn with Jeans as well as cocktail dresses. It’s a delightful trend as far as I’m concerned…after all, what girl doesn’t like a bit of sparkle!
While a bit of Bling may not be new for the holidays, this Season we are seeing a lot of bold bright color paired with the sparkle.

This is not the season for the meek or even the subtle, if there ever was a time to embrace true luxury and Glamour, this is the season!


Look for:
Lux materials like fur, exotic, silk, velvet.
Lace
Sparkle detail
Bold color.

Pieces that are Perfect for the season:
Fur wraps, big, volumous, Dramatic
Floor length skirts to match with all sorts of things
Sparkle shrugs, wraps and hair pieces
Silhouette: 70’s glam is still big. Elongated leg, shorter torso. Capes are a huge trend which works well for a formal cover –up. Especially one trimmed in fur!
Draped pieces matched with structure

So go for it. Have fun, and think Luxury this holiday season!
