Things I own and So SHOULD YOU!

Hi again! My fabulous friends and I love to stay on top of trends and often create trends by just being ourselves. In this posting, I will tell you what I have, how to rock it and where to get it!!! ... Well maybe I'll just tell you how to find it!!! Also, leave me comment about your body issues, I'd love to give you some advice!!!

This new year is going to have a tough time creating new trends trying to follow up the great trends of 2011. Although, everyone knows that fall and winter bring out the BEST trends of the year!!!

Ladies! Don't you just love layers? As the year goes on I'll tell you how to do this properly but as for now....

Well here are my must haves:

1.  My favorite purchase of the year has to be my BeBe wedges these range from $129.00 to $160.00, depends on where you get them. I got these wedge pumps for $60.00 thanks to a gift card from my sister, Nikki. Thanks SIS!!! These pumps come in Black and Gold and are super comfy. 

2. My second is a MUST have! A clutch! However, my pet peeve is the non-functional clutch and this one is VERY functional. This clutch by BCBG was $100.00 not sure how they range in price but this was one of the mid-range priced ones and I love it. My friend tries to steal it every time we go out! This clutch is SUPER functional and very fashionable! The one I currently own is pewter but this is my next steal! $98.00 and all things PINK!

3. A def Must MUST MUST have is a men's blazer! You can get a men's blazer for women just about anywhere or any site. I own several blazers and always have! With a blazer you can turn that late night club dress into a fuctional mid-day outfit. You can also turn a tank top and skinny jeans into a GREAT snazzy business wear in seconds!

4. My last Must have for the night is the wrap dress! A wrap dress is super comfortable! Super slimming! and SUPER VERSATILE! The wrap dress is my best friend!!! I purchased my wrap dress from Ralph Lauren for about half of the original price!!! How'd I do this? With my first couple of purchases they send you great promos! Also, with your first purchase if you fill out a short survey they send you a 10% off promo code! 

Tips!!!

Find a Tailor

Ladies!!! Taloring your clothes isn't just for men! Find a good tailor and get those old outfits to fit every curve of your body just right!!!  I love my tailor! She is absolutely the best! 

I know you're probably thinking, I don't want to spend even MORE on my outfit but ladies, you can get your dress completely tailored for as low as $15.00 and leave out in a MUCH better outfit!

If you don't have the money...

I'm not a millionaire and don't think many of you are either, right? Well, if you don't have bottomless funds here are some tips. 

• Shop clearance.
• Every store, including, Ralph Lauren, Coach, BCBG, etc. either has a clearance or an outlet store! Utilize these niceties! I do! Whether its 10% or 90% off I'm all for it!!!
• Make sure, when shopping clearance, you still shop in fashion, go for the basics. When in doubt pass it up until a later date or until you can research it on your phone!

• Put the money in your shoes!
• Your outfit doesn't have to cost a million dollars if you have a GREAT shoe!
• Again with this tip you want to make sure you still stay stylish and in season. 
• Sweat suits and Louboutins NEVER go together. However, a $10 little black dress and a GREAT pump will ALWAYS go together. 

Don't be afraid of color! But BE CAREFUL!

• I'm known for a neon yellow tank top with a black blazer and neutral/black pump or a hot pink cardigan and a leopard print skinny waist belt!
• You don't want to wear the hot pink, neon yellow, leopard print, and all of the other colors of the rainbow all together. Unless you're in the clown profession or just want to be seen.

Have a great night ladies!!!! Hopefully all of these things helped you! Happy Shopping!!!
