"An Item That Is Needed"

Stylish cardigans are "it" and has been an essential piece in a women's wardrobe. There are many styles and colors to choose from. Had enough of those dull looking colors of gray and black. Bring in the bright and bold colors, that will liven up your attire! Cardigans are a timeless piece to own, especially when there is a uniquest about the structure of the garment and the design.

Try something new, like this dream tie-neck cardigan.

"Converse Making A Come-Back"

Converse "All-Star" shoes a decade ago was known as converse All Star shoe, has been around since 1917. Until Chuck Taylor known as the "salesmen." Literally took over the selling concept of the converse and really made it to what it is today!

In my generation, the early 1990's converse was "hot" and so popular to the hip hop culture. Everyone had there own personal way of making these shoes their very own, by dressing them up, wearing the converse with suits! Now the time has passed and converse "All Star" wanted to take it up a notch by designing these dazzling gold, silver, and pink, or I should say fuchsia, exclusive metallic sneaker.

Women these are especially made for us! With it's rustic look of metallic leather, and check this out satin lining, no need for socks, right? If that is not enough Neiman Marcus put their signature of two butterflies on the bottom of the sole!

These "hot" converse are my must-haves. Even if I don't wear them I will put them up as a collectible! Now if you do want to wear these $175.00 converse. You can easily dress them up! I would not dress them down at all. I would personally wear a chic blazer, nice top, some fitted jeans, and eye poping jewelry either if it's a bold necklace or a bold bracelet. You will definitely look "oh so" chic and sexy.

You can purchase these at Neiman Marcus for $175.00

"Here We Go Again"

I know that when a trend that seems to be "hot" doesn't really mean that it is. But, has for me I do like some trends that are out, as I am a trend setter. When I seen many designers with the "skinny pants" in their collections. I asked myself how would these skinny pants will work with women. Not every woman has no hips. The average woman hips are between 36 to 44 (in my book). Maybe not so true but, you get the point. Also height is a big factor. You can not be too short, and chunky legs. A bummer right? But, since they are many women that can wear this style I will show you how to wear them tastefully.

How to wear
Find the pair that fit the most close to your ankles.
Wear open socks to cover the whole ankle.
If you want to show your ankles, then wear high heels.

Perfect Look!

"Valentino"

This legendary classic designer among Oscar de la Renta, Chanel are my favorite designers of all time. It has been decades, thousands of fashion shows, photoshoots, and publicity. That has made them stay true to the art of fashion and how they see the "todays" woman. Valentino has evolved into everything that appeals to that trendy generation. If she is that jet-setter, business women, or even that socialite, that has to be in the latest collection.

From the classy lady to the oh so chic "it girl" in her 20's. Having designs that every woman can sport!

"My Little Red Bow"

I have this new love for purses "clutch." When I saw this clutch I was speechless my mouth dropped! This is the cutest clutch!

The "it" Dress

Turtleneck dresses are having huge hit for this season. Every brand and every store are selling these dresses like hot cakes! Stores are selling them in every budget that you can imagine. What is "hot" about the turtleneck dresses. Is it because they come in different sizes for every woman to wear. Or, just about every color that you could possibly want. Could it be those soft wool, rayon fabrics that they come in. Maybe because each team designer brings their own style, and unique look to it! In any case you will have plenty of choices to pick from.

Note: You would never go out of style with a turtleneck dress.
Wear it with a thin belts.
Wear some really killer heels or boots.
Plain leggings or design leggings.

"Art On Your Wrist"

Have you ever seen such an extraordinary design in one bracelet?
I rarely go shopping for bracelets. But, lately jewelry has become such a "new" necessity like never before. Where it is a must-have item to complete your look! Bracelets and cuffs has turned into it's own art form. Instead of paying thousands of dollars on "wall" art, or spending money on a statue, why not spend money on art that you can wear! Jewelry designers have made a way where you can put on and wear the art. Showing all of the intensive designs of details and long hours of hard labor all in one bracelet, made by hand.
If you are looking for a "bubble gum" machine bracelet, then you will not find it on this blog!

The bracelets that are shown below are my "hot picks."
