Maxi Dresses and Skirts!

Warm weather has hit New York this spring with highs of 85 in mid April.  I have a feeling we will have a very warm spring and summer this year so be sure to start stocking up on some cool breezy outfits.  A trend I love during the warmer months is Maxi skirts and dresses.  They are versatile, flattering, and comfortable.  Nearly every celebrity has been spotted in this look! 

A solid color Maxi skirt is perfect for those who love to accessorize! Pile on the belts, bangles and necklaces to spice up a plain dress or skirt. 

 V-Neck Maxi Dress

 Floral patterns are huge this spring, and look ever so feminine while flowing in the wind as you strut around in your maxi skirt. Make sure not to go overboard with the patterns, too much will cause chaos and ruin the look.  Try to pair a floral patterned skirt with a solid top.

The Ever Changing Hairstyles of Drew Barrymore

Everyone loves looking back at old photographs.  Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cringe and sometimes we find inspiration for future styles.  I thought it would be fun to take a look at the hairstyle evolution of Drew Barrymore.  This talented actress first encountered fame as child star in the classic movie ET and has become an inspirational Cover Girl.  To honor this talented women lets take a journey through her hairstyles past...

We begin in 1995 with a honey blonde pixie haircut.

In 1999 Drew rocked a hippie inspired headband.

In 2003 at the Hollywood premiere of
Charlie' s Angels, Drew looked stunning
with long blonde beach waves. 

At the 2004 premier of 50 First DatesDrew looked  angelic with her hair pulled
 back and accessorized with a delicate flower. 

At the2005 Academy Awards, her rich auburn hair
 color complemented the glamorous updo.

During Fashion Week 2006, Drew went for
 an edgy updo that caught every ones attention.

At the 2007 London premiere of 

Music and Lyrics she looked

 stunning in a metallic headband.

         In 2008 Drew attended a fund

 raiser event sporting loose tousled curls.

In 2009 at the premiere of Everybody’s Fine,
Drew showed off a short sassy new haircut.

In 2010 Drew keeps her straight blonde
 hairstyle simple and elegant.

In 2012 we see Drew showing off her in-style ombre hair color.
Stunning as always!

ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES

Tomorrow, April 10 2012 is One Day Without Shoe to raise awareness for the millions of children around the world who have to go barefoot every day. Join the cause and spread awareness.  Check out the video "ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES".  

Royal Blue Jeans For Every Budget!

The must have staple jean this season is the blue jean.  Whether you are going for a bold blast of colors or a nautical inspired look blue jeans are a must have.  I feel everyone needs a pair of blue jeans this season so I have collected a pair for a every price mark.  Also check out how your favorite celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Hillary Duff, Zoe Saldana, and Victoria Beckham wore their blue jeans for a bit of style inspiration.

Spring Fashion

Spring has officially arrived.  The sun is shining and everyone is eager to get out of the house and show off their new spring wardrobe.  Spring is the time to box up all the dark, bulky sweaters and introduce light pastels, vibrant bold colors, and loose whimsical tops.  Spring fever is in full swing so I thought it would be suiting to show off my favorite spring attire.

I am loving the hi-low skirt trend and a pastel will look fabulous with almost any top.  To get my favorite look for spring check out what is in my closet…

What Celebrities Really Look Like!

Ever wonder how all celebrities seem to have flawless skin? Why is it that we purchase the most expensive cosmetics and try absolutely everything out there but can never look like celebrities.

The answer is… Celebrities don’t look flawless! Photoshop is a wonderful tool celebrities use to appear flawless in print.  You too could look perfect just like a celebrity with a bit of photo editing. Check out these celebrities before and after shots.  You will be surprised to find that they don’t have the radiant flawless skin we all strive to obtain.  Look at what photo editing does for Fergie, George Clooney, Kim Kardashian and Kim Cattrall.
