Sashay Your Way Towards Fall

Ok, some of us aren’t looking forward to Fall with Winter being the end point. However, there are some that look to relief in the skies. Maybe not true Fall weather, but the hopes of temps tumbling out of the 90’s would be nice.

Cute shorts, bright and kick-ass booties, along with a athleisure bomber jacket and the line starts to blur which is about to be crossed into Autumn…or some sense of it. The choice of a bright orange-red with a background bass of black, keeps it light but hopeful. The fun and funky accessories keep it interesting.

Four Ways to Style a Shirtdress

I adore this belted denim shirtdress by Michael Kors. With some interesting and neutral accessories, you can wear this a myriad of ways by mixing up pieces like those below. Here are a few ideas.

I kept the palette clean to interchange, but you can easily add any colors and styles you prefer.

Look 1: Wear the shirtdress by itself. Add the bag, sandals, a necklace, roll up the sleeves and add the bangles.

Look 2: Wear the shirtdress as a duster. Dress in a top and the skirt, add accessories. Top off the look with the unbuttoned shirtdress, and enjoy the flow of the duster jacket.

Look 3: Wear a tank and jeans, put on shirtdress and only button 2 buttons at the waist. Wrap the belt around the shirtdress, blouse it out, pop the collar, roll the sleeves up and add accessories.

Look 4: Wear the top and shorts, put on the shirtdress. Button up a few buttons from the waist up, then take the front shirt tails and tie in front (over hips). Leave the back fall. Accessorize. I would love this look with a pair of low Converse.

Change this up with your favorite accessories, this is just a guideline. Have at it!

Fresh and Sexy Mondays

Spring fresh on a Monday because if you look good, you feel good. Especially due to the time change over the weekend, it messes with your mood! Well, what is more fresh and happy than light blue and white stripes?! An off-the-shoulder detail and smooth pencil skirt, give you a sweet combination of ladylike hotness. Mocha colored pumps, a detailed metal bag and earrings, light colored shades, and pops of pink beauty add a classic, high-end look.

Sashay your way in to Monday.

Balmain FW16 Bliss

Oh Olivier, you are a freaking master of detail. Detail is the main reason I fall for Balmain every season. Fall/Winter 2016 came correct bringing the heart palpitations! The rose quartz pallette entranced me.

Of course, the black and gold stoled my heart. Just look at the scrumptiousness of it all!

The entire collection was dramatic and feminine, and the structure of many of the short skirts emphasized a small waist and accentuated the hips and derriere. Hmmm…..who does that silhouette remind you of? 😉 Ladies, get your tech necks in shape. High necks and big chokers are what’s up and I love it. Nonetheless, or more, Olivier Rousteing and the Balmain FW16 designs were amazing, per usual.

V-day 70’s Style – Do YOU!

Do The Hustle! I couldn’t resist these jeans and had to build a look around them. Those ARE heart cutouts and wide legs, so of course it lent itself to a 70’s vibe. I adore the red platform sandal with the studwork up the heel. Bring in some hoops and off-the-shoulder smolder, red lips, and you’re ready for Valentine’s weekend.

You don’t need a Valentine to celebrate. You love yourself, so go treat yo self! Candy, mani, massage, amazing food, clothes, jewels. Whatever is special to you! It should be a bright and cheery day, you make sure it is..for YOU!

Lots of LOVE!  XO, Avery

National Wear RED Day is Feb 5th

Go Red for Women and National Wear RED Day is fast approaching. Please wear red on Friday, February 5th, 2016 in support of women’s heart health awareness. The numbers are staggering as to how many women die from heart attacks or strokes everyday. Go to http://goredforwomen.org and learn what the signs are, they are very different from the signs for men. Please do it for yourself, your mom, grandmother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, friend. Also, http://heart.org for the American Heart Association. You need to know!

Yes, this is personal. I lost my dad to Congestive Heart Failure, my mom has been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, and I was born with a Heart Murmur. It is a very personal cause.

Have a heart, save a life.

Love, Avery

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boss Lady Chic

This ensemble will command attention. A true Boss Lady look whether you’re at the office or elsewhere. You could stick with a winter white and black theme with your accessories, but that’s easy. This demands attention, attention to detail. Find a complimentary color and go with it! Beware, some bright colors may cheapen it. Think rich.

Strong, but feminine. Screaming money. Pulled together. Highly wearable…unless you have a toddler on your hip eating chocolate. Head-to-toe love.

Add good posture and smile, and you’re set to kick ass and take names.

I’m a shoe addict from waaaaay back and I’m coo coo for these Choos! Classic pumps in grey with a killer white heel. Tres’ chic with a winter white pant, white jeans, hot pencil skirt. Yeow-y meow-y!

Definitely a Strut-n-Slay moment.

Apres Ski. Aspen Ready!

Apres ski is more and before any Reality tv show. Now that it is December, visions of Aspen and snowy glamour dance in my head. I used to ski, but now I’m just a Social Snowbunny. After a skiing accident long ago, I decided I still needed the ambiance the glorious ski resorts offer. So naturally, shopping, lunching, drinks by the fire, gondola rides, hot tubbing and the clothes, oh the clothes….were my ticket to snowy happiness.

Cream, winter white, soft beige and grey, with furry trim and minimal jewelry is the palette and silhouette that will take you everywhere on your social calendar during the wintery day. Incredible look.
