They keep coming back!
I like polka-dots! They have stood the test of time and are back on the racks this Fall!
As a young girl, I remember a particular dress I chose for Easter. White ruffled skirt with black polka-dots and a black cap-sleeve button up top. I loved it! Sadly, I have not donned the dots in years.
The Dots out there now however, have certainly caught my eye!
Rachel Zoe Polka-dot Scarf Top
Kate Spade Maya Dot-print Shift Dress
Kate Spade Cap-Sleeve Top
The power of the Dot is contagious…
So why not brighten up your wardrobe with a few Dots this Fall?!! I certainly will!

On a Girl’s Night Out, I discovered that there were a lot of men who do not know how to dress. It’s time to get a little personal Fellas!
When dressing for a Friday night out, plan a little sex-appeal into your wardrobe. That’s right!!
She’ll take in the whole package instantly, shirt to shoes. If you have great style, you’ll bag more than brownie points!
Most men I’ve seen go with the long sleeve button up. Don’t do that! Try a different approach.
The V-Neck.
This is probably the sexiest style made for MAN. In every shade, the V-Neck takes casual to class!
The great thing I love about the V-Neck is, versatility.
Dress it up with a dark blazer on cooler nights or wear it alone. You can’t go wrong!
V-Neck sweaters are a nice alternative this Fall, but choose Cashmere to show off your muscle.
Date Tip~ Don’t shave it off! Keep a little scruff. We like it and want to touch it!
Why not draw her attention to you?!
Give yourself an upgrade the next time you go out. Put on the V-Neck.

What to wear?!!!
When planning an outfit for a date, I give it some extra thought. I love to feel fabulous and sexy, so I choose my pieces carefully.
I chose a white ribbed tank and layered it with a fabulous Armani Exchange moto shirt.
Keeping my look simple, I wore black 4″ heel booties to add height and style.
Silver and burgundy stone earrings gave me the splash of color I needed.
The look I achieved was simple and sexy for my hot date!
He wore a slim-fit Tommy Hilfiger oxford and gray Geoffrey Beene slacks.
To dress up his look, he chose fashionable black Frattelli boots.
For a touch of class and sex-appeal, he rolled his sleeves the Italian way.
The Italian Way -
1. Unbutton the cuff.
2. Take the edge of the cuff and flip the whole cuff back.
3. Drag the cuff slowly up past your elbow until the bottom seam of the cuff is in your elbow pit.
4. Fold the extra 3-5 inches of sleeve up, to secure the cuff above your elbow.
The cuff won’t come undone and the look is timeless Class.
On this date, both of us chose to keep our looks simple. By this, we emphasized our figures and drew attention to only one piece.

Sandals are the first choice in shoe fashion where I live in California. Wedges are EVERYWHERE!
I love mine and have several pairs to choose from. But… I always need more!
At a recent Wine and Chocolate Stroll in fashionable downtown Danville, women were out in their cute wedges for some guaranteed night fun. I had on my preferred heels, but what I saw, I loved!
I normally choose my colorful wedges for day-wear, however I think I’ll pull out a pair the next time I’m out at night as well!
Here’s to finding the versatile wedge!
My Picks:
Chinese Laundry
Lucky Brand
Naughty Monkey at Zappos
Seychelles
and my absolute favorite
Cesare Paciotti
Of course I’d wear those Cesare Paciotti’s anywhere! But for the casual fun in my downtown, I’d have to choose Naughty Monkey for their flare.

With the new Spring Trends stocking every closet and drawer across the fashion globe, the shoe that spans the spectrum is “Nudes”.
Dressed for work or play, nude shoes can be worn with everything!
These Beauties add length to legs and since they go with everything, why not make them a staple in your shoe collection?!
Tip: The key to buying “nudes” is to make sure they go with your skin tone.
My Picks:
INC International Concepts
Michael Kors
BCBGeneration
Ivanka Trump
Via Spiga
Boutique 9

Pastels are IN! From pinks to shades of yellows, Jeans have been given a tried and true bold wash. For the Trend-setter, these colors are a gold mine! The options are endless!
This time last year, I noticed few ladies braving the colorful denim. These colors are not new so I expect a greater population of bold legs will be showing off their fun fashion this year.
As most of us know, lighter colors add width, darker colors slim down. You know your body better than anyone, so choose your shade to your shape.
My Picks:
Citizens of Humanity
BCBG
Joe’s Jeans
VS
7 For All Mankind

This past fall and winter, I have noticed some frumpy looks while out and about.
Putting a little thought into choosing a style of maxi skirt will be to your advantage!
So here are my 2 cents:
If you are petite, it’s a little tricky; however you can beautifully pull off a maxi skirt.
Select a style that is well-cut and fits snugly to your figure. A lot of fabric can make you look shorter and frumpy, which you should avoid at all cost!
Choose patterns and colors that elongate, like vertical lines and dark colors. White will not do.
Heels and wedges add height. Stay away from flat sandals.
What you wear on top can add to your look. For example, a longer jacket will add height and also can hide.
If you are of average height or tall, you can’t go wrong with a maxi. You can wear flowing styles or snug.
Flat sandals, wedges, anything goes.
A rule of thumb when looking at design: Horizontal patterns add width. Vertical patterns add height. Angular patterns detract from width and can add height.
I really like the hi-lo style of maxi. It’s versatile. Tall and petite can wear this look! Pair it with some cute wedges and you’re set!
With the right style for your shape, you can look fabulous in a Maxi!
