More Spring Time Obsessions

When you're surrounded by clothes, shoes and accessories all day, magic happens. I am always inspired by what I see on the job - here's another taste of what I'm into today.
Right now I absolutely love:
  • basics with bold patterned jackets - make a statement
  • maxis (see below) and midis for day - leave a little something to the imagination, save the minis for late night partying in Hollywood
  • pink lip gloss - so fresh and natural, plus it looks great on any skin tone
  • bright bangles, and lots of them - the more the better
Things that can work, in moderation:
  • boho and tribal prints - a little goes a long way, too much looks sloppy and calculated
  • floral - if you're going to go there, make sure the size of the print complements your frame
Things that both you and I can do without:
  • unflattering shapes - work with your body type and wear what flatters your figure... If you're not sure what works for you, come visit me in Savvy! I promise you'll leave looking and feeling amazing
Have fun with your wardrobe and experiment, experience the joys that fashion brings...
Stay tuned and always stay stylish

It's Official!

Good news... I'm employed!
Nordstrom's Savvy is my new home. Selling high-priced contemporary fashion to South Bay residents sounds right up my alley. I can't wait to share all of my newfound knowledge with you.
There will be much more to come, so get ready.
Stay tuned and as always, stay stylish

Taste of Spring

Spring is in the air!
The temperatures are rising, flowers are blooming, and...my most favorite of all indicators of spring, FASHION. While couture designers are debuting their fall and winter collections, department stores are making way for dresses, skirts, sandals and swimsuits. Where to begin?
As of today, my spring essentials include:
  • Maxi dresses - I absolutely LOVE these!! Not only are they flattering on most figures, some even come short enough for those of us with petite frames. p.s. They look fab with flat sandals
  • Slouchy white trousers - pair perfectly with a crisp, vertically striped oxford shirt for a carefree, causal look
  • Gladiator sandals - If your not leggy, try a pair with fewer and thinner straps, preferably in a metallic or neutral shade
  • Scarfs - I'm a little biased because this is my favorite go-to accessory of all time (especially when its silk and Pucci), but when the colors are bright and the print bold, this makes any outfit pop
There will undoubtedly be more to come, and there's a good chance I will change my mind at the drop of a large, floppy straw sun hat...
That being said, stay tuned and always stay stylish
