Yellow Fever

My latest obsession...YELLOW! Anything yellow! From kitchy accessories to fabulous handbags, shoes and gorgeous gowns....I can't get enough!
Attention Style Mavens, while wearing yellow can be a challenge for some skin tones, that doesn't mean you can't wear it; try pairing a fabulous yellow shoe with your favorite jeans or with navy or black pants. You'll look chic and on-trend, without sacrificing skin tone! (Calvin Klein ballet flats, $98 Bloomingdales)
Wanna go all out...take a cue from Paula Patton who looked absolutely stunning in yellow at this year's Golden Globes

Adding a touch of yellow to your wardrobe can be just the thing you need to take you from the dreary days of winter to the sunny days of spring.
Pick up this Kate Spade iphone cover ($40 at Bloomingdales) and put a smile on your face!

Stylish Resolutions for the New Year

A new year and a new more stylish you! Developing your own personal style can be your greatest asset. It lets the world know who you are and how much you value yourself.

Personal style stems from confidence; it comes from knowing who you are and accepting yourself. It does not come from wanting to be somebody else or from wanting to be taller, thinner, shorter, prettier, blonder, etc. Loving yourself, embracing your imperfections, and projecting self-confidence are the foundations of good style.

Style Maven Resolutions:
1. Dress the body you have, not the body you wish you had
2. Wear perfume everyday
3. Find a good tailor - no more buying petite pants because you don't want to pay to alter them! Or wearing sleeves that are too long, or skirts/dresses that hit you at the least flattering part of the leg. "A good tailor is like a good pair of shoes-necessary, worth every penny, and capable of making you look ten pounds thinner." (Little Black Book of Style)
4. Always buy the best quality you can afford (having great personal style does not have to cost alot of money....remember confidence and good fit are the most important)
5. Invest in a great pair of black pumps...with the highest heel you can stand-they're great with jeans or a sexy dress and they make your legs look long and lean.
