Hot Trend Alert!! Affordable Bandage skirts!!!!

   We all wish we could afford the expensive things in life but why if you don't have to?! The biggest trend last year was the bandage dress. This year it's the bandage skirt and instead of paying $8oo the fine makers of "Pleasure doing business" are practically giving them away at $88. It's a no brainer. Not only are bandage skirts slimming but they are extremely versatile. Pair with a loose tank or a dazzling top and you are good to go!

I have already blogged about jumpsuits and I'm here to endorse them again. They are so elegant and sexy at the same time. It's the perfect thing to throw on for a cocktail hour or dinner out on the town. Alice & Olivia has a stunning new jumpsuit pictured below. I would suggest wearing this with heels and a gold multicolored necklace for the perfect effect. It's so classy but you still feel sexy even though you aren't showing a ton of skin. This look is also a good investment because it's not seasonal. You can absolutely wear this for a holiday party/new years party in the Winter and bring it out again for the spring/summer.

I would like to give a shout out to one of my best friends Megan Carpenter for realizing the power of Justin Timberlake back in 1998. We were rocking to NSYNC and Justin ever since he came on the scen and why wouldn't we?! We emits hotness and talent. And I can't imagine a person who has evolved more fashionably then Justin. I believe when Megan and myself went to the meet and greet around 1999 or 2000 Justin was wearing a t-shirt and jeans but he had a puffer jacket in close vacinity. Gross but he was hot so we dealt with it. And sitting in the 5th row we couldn't complain. I can also remember JT's shirtless bod on the cover of Details mag in college. At the time I was an intern for Details and I took home 6 copies...one for each roommie! JT you still rock my world but let's not revisti the past. Like MC Hammer pants...just say no!!! Let's take a look at Justin's fashion sense as it's evolved over the years.

Scarves are the perfect accessory for any outfit. The considerable dress up an outfit as well as add color and pattern to a normal everyday outfit. I always throw on a scarf when I'm wearing a plain T-shirt and denim. Scarves are not just for Fall and Winter. They are year-round now. Just make sure for the hotter months you have a light weight scarf like the TDM Design scarf below!

The new Harry Potter movie is coming out as well is my fascination with Emma Watson. Talk about a classic beauty. She has really transformed into a classy young lady. Girls take note....this is what is attractive and sexy. We don't need to show everything to get noticed. Simple elegance is what keeps your star shining for amny years. Here are some pictures of Emma Watson/Hermione Granger from past to present. Go on with your cute self girl. I support you! Hogwart's would we proud.

We all get them. Those dreaded "fat" days when it's all in our bed but manifests on our bodies. These are the days when you just want to wear sweats all day and work it out. Well here are my go-to styles for "fatty days". I'd like to start off with leggings. Leggings are crucial but only if worn in the right way. They hug your curves i.e. suck in all the jelly. But you must remember this key point....you have to always wear a tunic with your leggings. You want to make sure you cover up all things wiggly and jiggly. My next go to is the caftan dress. Super stylish and very mod in appearance, this dress offers complete fashion without showing the buldge. Pair with a cute pair of heels and you'll be working out your legs all day long! Truly anything A-line works as well ladies. And remember...we only have a few "fat" days but make them count. The gym can wait but life is too short to wear sweats!!!

I know I always blog about easy outfits but who doesn't need them?! We all need easy throw on's because we have lives and time is precious people. Here is my new go-to outfit for summer. The romper. Look how cute this romper is! If you want to spice it up throw some gold jewelry around your neck and wedges on your feet. For a more casual look wear with gladiator sandals. I would also pair it with a cute belt as shown below. This will be my outfit for my first day on the islands with my hubby!
