Two words people.  No, really a letter and a word.....J CREW!!!  I was shopping for a client today (what I like to call a business trip to Easton) and went in to see their spring collection.  I was blown away-absolutely beautiful!  The colors were light and soft.  It was like walking into an ice cream shop!  There were so many ruffles that I didn't know where to look first.  Ruffles on sweaters, tank tops, t-shirts, jackets and dresses.  There was a lot of khaki and EVERYTHING was rolled-pant bottoms, sleeves on blouses and sweaters and even shorts.  The jackets were shorter and fitted with really interesting details. The look was casual, comfortable and flattering.  Nothing was too tight or too short, just very wearable.  I attached pictures of some of my favorite looks. The lavender shirt incorporates everything I love in a shirt-soft, ruffles and it comes in a shade of purple!  The belt is truly the belt of the season-skinny and studded.  Hope you enjoy the Fancy Nancy recommendations! 

Have a fabulously fashionable day!

I am sitting home for the FOURTH day in a row with a sick child and in between the temperature taking and general caretaking I am dreaming about SUMMER!!!  This might also have something to do with the 10 inches of snow on the ground...but I digress...back to fashion.

Just wanted to share a pic of these adorable sandals.  Dump those boring flip-flops and "step" into something much more fashionable.  I think shoes like these could put anyone in the mood for sitting outside with the warm sun on your back enjoying a grapetini with a sugar rim (a Fancy Nancy fave)!  Ahhhhhh, a girl can dream can't she??  This sandal comes in brown and gray which are both great neutrals that will go with all of the exciting new trends for spring 2010.  I am rather partial to the gray myself, but that's just moi.  Now here is the best part....are you ready??  They are from the Gap and are $34.50!!!!  What a perfect way to jump start your spring/summer wardrobe and at such an affordable price!  Now I can start dreaming about what color to paint my toenails......

Enjoy!

Can we please discuss tassels?? Ok good, because they are not just for your furniture and drapes anymore!! Tassels happen to be the newest look for earrings. Kate Hudson wore them at the Golden Globes with that amazing white, structured, strapless dress and they were the perfect finishing touch. Well, I just saw the most beautiful pair and had to share. At $350 they are a little pricey, but this style can be found in all different price ranges. Start looking and you will see them everywhere! The great thing is that I think they will look FAB with dressy looks and just as FAB with jeans. You know, in a "I'm so cool I can wear my tassels with anything" sort of way.

Have a fabulously fashionable day....and wear your tassel earrings to the grocery store!

p.s. Check out a friend's website.  She is an unbelievably talented beader and jewelry maker-julieglasser.com.  Maybe we should encourage her to try tassels......

It's official-I am sending out the email announcing my new business today! I am so excited to start helping people feel fabulous! Last night I auctioned off 5 hours of my time in a fundraiser for my kids' school and I am so excited to work with the lucky winner of ME! It was so much fun to talk to people about my new adventure and really make it official. Everyone was very receptive and I even gained some new customers.

Of course I had to spend some time checking out everyone's fashions...the runaway winner of best look of the night was my very fabbie friend who was wearing a navy silk dress with ruffles in the front, black opaque tights (naturally) and black pumps-but the BEST part of the ensemble was the black biker jacket that was the absolute piece de resistance (please say that with a French accent). She truly had it going on! Also spotted in the crowd was lots of sparkle-subtle and not so subtle, but it was all working. Many women were also sporting their black riding boots which made me very happy-they work with pretty much everything. Other special touches were ruffled blouses, wide belts, handmade felted purses and gorgeous jewelry.

Speaking of special, I recently came across this really cool necklace (see above) while perusing Facebook one day. The website is samanthas-closet.com and she has a small but lovely collection of simple, reasonably priced necklaces that are very Carrie Bradshaw!

Enjoy!
