Fashion is my Passion

1) Dress for the Life you want. Make the most of your everyday look but don't wear high heels to the playground and don't wear flip-flops to the office.

2) Love your Body - the one you currently have not the one you had in High School or the one you wish you had. Know how to hide your flaws and work your strengths.

3) Invest in Quality Key Pieces. Know what to spend money on and where to save. A great suit that will take you through many seasons is worth spending money on - a trendy top should be bought for a bargain.

4) Wear One Statement Item. Don't overdue it!!!
One bold piece of jewelry or One scarf or One pair of red shoes - not all of them at once!

5) Take a Picture! If you love your outfit - take a Polaroid and keep a little photo-album of all your favorite looks - it will be a great reference on those dreaded mornings where it seems as if there was nothing in your closet!

6) Keep it Simple. If you put too much effort in your outfit - it won't look effortless.

7) Look Presentable. You never know when you will run into your new boss at Starbucks - or your future husband!

8) Prepare before you Shop. Go through your closet - make a list of items needed. Come prepared: bring the right bra and belt and the shoes to go with it.

9) Befriend a Taylor and a Drycleaner. You will change sizes and you will spill - seek professional help when all else fails!

10) Hire an Image Consultant! Your girlfriends are LYING: those jeans DO make you look fat...let a professional help you and make you look like the gorgeous women you are!!!

Learn what's new and hip for MOMMY at the Playground this year:)

ADD FALL ACCESSORIES: Add a wide belt to a summer shirt and wear boots instead of flip flops with your pants, jeans or leggings

ADD SPLASH COLOR with the jacket for fall: a short peacoat sweater adds charm to black summer cami with jeans or even a summer dress.

ADD LAYERS: make your cami a modern twinset with a cardigan in deep fall colors like royal blue, purple, or pumpkin. You could also add layers like a silky or thin cotton long-sleeve underneath a tank cami to bring it into fall.

GO A SHADE DARKER on your jeans - replace summer faded ones with dark beautiful jeans.

DRESS UP your capris - instead of wearing them with slides or mules wear them with high heels or boots and pair them with ¾ sleeve sweaters and beautiful scarves.

OTHER FALL ACCESSORIES TO ADD: an oversized clutch for every day, tone on tone jewelry, colorful ballerina flats, shiny heels and bangles and beads!
