Summer fashions are fun, flirty and empowering. This summer season is no different. Bring on the gorgeous summer fashions, for I am ready to style.
One of my favorite classics is also once again trendy- LACE. Lace can be sweet, girly and sexy. Lace tops, lace dresses, lace accessories- they are all perfect for summer wear. TRY IT: Combine a lace piece with a menswear piece, add a statement accessory and talk about a fabulous contrast that will turn heads.
Fashion is art. It is a personal and cultural expression. Fashion is creative, inspiring, expressive, dynamic and functional. Fashions fade, and fashions trend. Decade-specific fashions are a common inspiration for current designers, so it is no surprise that often the decade-specific fashions reemerge with new life. This summer 50s, 60s and 70s fashions are showcased. We may not all be fans of every retro-reincarnation, but subtly adding decade-specific (authentic or new) pieces into our summer wardrobe can be fun. Shopping for vintage pieces is definitely a perfect way to spend a beautiful afternoon with friends.
In addition to lace treasures and 50s/60s/70s retro finds, expect to see bold stripes, bright colors, funky wedges, feminine shaping, funky-chic patterns, bright nail color and lots of personality. Wear what speaks to you, and have fun.

Welcoming Spring Into Your Wardrobe
Spring 2011 is upon us, yay! Let the sunshine pour in the windows (on days the rain subsides). Spring is a time of rebirth, reawakening and really bright, beautiful colors and styles. Spring is beautiful in nature and in fashion. Is your wardrobe spring ready? If not, it's time to reinvigorate your closet.
Spring 2011 trends include, but are not limited to, caramel browns (especially for shoes), nudes (for every skintone), florals, lace, 70s inspired flavors, Bohemian updates, mini dresses, updated maxi dresses and tea length skirts. Braids and beach-wave hair are definitely a do when styled accordingly for the occasion. Small barrettes are the hot hair accessory of the moment. Spring makeup is generally more sun-kissed and fresh, but bright eyeshadow is perfect for spring (and summer).
While shopping for spring clothing and accessories, remember to have fun and be positive. You are beautiful, and your body is unique to YOU. You may try on several items that may not work for you, but you may also find several items that do! So keep that last part in mind. Please don't worry about the size tags. Focus on clothing that fits, flatters and boosts your confidence. The ultimate goal is to look and feel fabulous, not to worry about what size you wear. We are usually our toughest critics, but show yourself some love. You are amazing so your clothes should emphasize just that.
And you have standards. When trying on different pieces, remember to aim for only purchasing clothing that rates at least an 8.5 out of a 10 scale. L-O-V-E each piece you buy; otherwise it may just sit in your closet taking up the very valuable boutique closet space.
Speaking of closet space, how much clothing do you have stuffed in your closet that just doesn't fit quite right? If you do not already have a tailor, I highly recommend hiring one- definitely worth the small investment. Some dry-cleaners, clothing stores and tux rental shops have tailors on hand. A tailor can help you transform an ill-fitting piece of clothing into a custom-like favorite, if there is enough material to do so.
Have a very happy and fabulous spring! As always, please email me at cs.stylelife@yahoo.com with any questions, comments or to schedule an appointment with me. Thank you.
