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.

Those were the only sharks we saw on our most recent trip to Florida.
New Smyrna Beach in May, had a shark alert. So when I took my little guys to the beach, I was on the look out as well.
I was relieved to see the population, when we arrived at the beautiful white beach.
Boys at the beach need, not just water and sand, but always toys!! Water guns are among this mom’s favs.
No apologies necessary. I do have typical little boys. The black tank, perfect cover-up for the fun-loving mom! But time to get a new suite, and a tan.
It was a perfect day! We found tiny fish, not sharks at New Smyrna Beach.
After spending all day at the beach, there was nothing better to sit down to with sandy shoes and wet suits, than the Dolphin View. Tucked away on North Riverside Drive, New Smyrna, is the best fresh fish! My tired fellas were highly entertained by the fisherman butchering the day’s catch right on the dock, while we waited for our dinner.
New Smyrna Beach, Florida in May. We’ll be back!

The last few summers, white shades have caught my eye. I love it! I don’t see white too often but when I do… “Guy, you look HOT!”
With the new crazy shade styles out now, white is a great move!
I saw a cool dude today sporting what looked like a pair of Spy Optic’s. Very Nice!
My Picks:
Spy Optic Quanta
If White is your style, then check out Clear!
Oakley Polarized Crankcase
Not every guy should wear white sunglasses. Fall in the age range of teens to 40’s and you can pull them off with hot style!
Tip: If your body looks like it has less muscle than fat, then stay away from wearing white. Choose shades of grey or black to look your cool.

There are some nice selections out for spring and summer wear. Now that the West Coast heat wave is hitting early, I’m having fun sporting my sandals every day.
On a recent trip down the coast, I had the opportunity to view many who tread the path of cool California footwear.
The ones that got an immediate red flag… Crocs.
In very recent years, I have seen less and less of these brightly-colored clown shoes where I live. But they keep showing up!
Parents, C’mon! Have a little taste! Unlike the sizes suggest, in my opinion they are NOT for the entire family. At least not in public!
Save your dollars for a cooler pair of summer shoes.
I came across Amphibian shoes years ago and I still like them just the same! They are my first choice for beach, hiking, trips to Disneyland and the like.
Try this tasteful alternative that supports comfort, in any active setting.
My Picks:
Salomon Techamphibian 3
for him
The NorthFace Hedgefrog 2
for her

The Leather Jacket is a classy look for both men and women. How you wear yours, is your ticket to sophistication and … cool.
There are many styles that look great and with a little help, you can find the one that is right for you.
While searching, know your styles well. Not everyone can pull off a leather utility jacket.
Keep in mind fit, as well as comfort. A Leather Jacket may allow for a little more room in the body and arms, but the fit should be right on the shoulders.
When I was a young girl, my Dad sported a grey Leather Bomber. While it fit his mid-section well, the shoulders were not quite right.
Tip: Get your Jacket tailored to help with any problem areas.
A quality Leather Jacket is an investment and with care, yours can last for years.
My Picks:
Diesel Laurence
Delusion Straight Leather
7 Diamonds Tokyo

Accessorizing is a great way to add style. Here, a straw Fedora is worn by this stylish mom.
Heels, scarf, jewelry, handbag, you can add color to any outfit and look fabulous!
Hats are perfect for warmer weather looks and the Fedora is a sure classic!
Developing your own personal style is a fun learning process. Your choice of accessories is an extension of You.
I prefer to go light on my accessories. Keeping it simple adds to my look. Some personal favorites are a pair of gorgeous heels, chunky bangles, and a bright purse. I also like to mix it up with a hat, belt or scarf.
Tip:Choose 2 or 3 accessory pieces to show off your taste. Too many can be overkill.
Remember to keep an open mind while shopping. You may discover how fabulous you look in a hat!
