How should you wear Leggings for the holidays? You have certainly heard me talk about leggings at length. Wearing super tight leggings with a short top is far from attractive. Let’s face it, nobody wants to see your anatomy. Most leggings are actually just tights without feet . They rarely have the quality and thickness of a pant. They were initially made for athletics and dance and not for the “public” eye!

However, worn the proper way, leggings can be very chic and so comfy. They remain casual but you can glam them up a bit for the holidays. Not all parties or family reunions this season are dressy but you still want to look cute and festive. All these items are my Fabulous Finds from Amazon.com at incredible prices. Always consider the size guide before purchasing. You will find examples of How to Wear Leggings for the holidays here below. All the items can be found on Amazon.com at incredible pricing.

Everyone can look amazing in jeans if they find the right fit to feel confident and beautiful. Over the years, denim has evolved into the most versatile item of clothing in your closet.

Every woman needs a great pair of jeans, the indispensable wardrobe item. It is a challenge to find the perfect pair and many factors come into play. So once you have found the brand and style, stick to it. You will feel like a new woman. Here are a few things every woman should know when purchasing denim;

= The stretch enables the jean to hug you in all the right places. It also allows jeans to rebound better after multiple wearings without the binding of a non-stretch. I cannot believe we wore denim without stretch! I prefer a 1 to 2% stretch for comfort. If there is too much stretch, the fibers with the washes and wears will eventually loosen up and you will get saggy jeans.

IS AGE JUST A NUMBER?

How young or old someone feels really has an influence on their health and how people view them. I would say the contrary is also true. If you are unhealthy at a younger age, you will tend to feel older than you are and run down.

An article published in the Perspectives on Psychological Science suggests that feeling young can actually make you look young and have the health of a younger person too.

I believe in the Mind over Body concept. Research proves this over and over again. Age depends more on temperament and health. I have known young people to be “old”!  Read the rest of this entry

What does Self-Confidence mean to you?

Have you ever thought of who you really wanted to be? Have you visualized your life, your profession, your friends, what you would be wearing, how you would feel? How would others treat you?

Self-Confidence is really the key. Some may have difficulty believing it but I was more of an introvert and very reserved. I was always very impressed by confident people. They were so bold, outgoing and driven. So confident of their self worth, appearance and abilities. It is a very attractive trait and draws like-minded people to you. I have had to really work on this because it became a handicap for me, in my professional as well as in my personal life. Read the rest of this entry

How to control Our Image;

Our image is a tool to position ourselves both professionally or personally. It speaks long before people get to know you.

Did you know that only 7% of communication is verbal and we are evaluated by the image we project. Assumptions are made within 30 seconds, from our appearance. So much can be revealed;

= Our abilities and successes

= Our social status

= Our wealth & education

= Our mood & character

= And our Self Worth

Always start with the goal in mind, Who are you and How do you want to be perceived? What are your likes and dislikes?  Read the rest of this entry

Most women when shopping for clothes make the same mistakes, buy the same colors, not necessarily the ones that suit them, the same styles, not always adequate for their body shape and clothes that don’t fit their lifestyle nor activities. They have a wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear. You’ve certainly heard the saying before, “80% of women wear 20% of their wardrobe. If this is you, you are wasting time, money and closet real estate!

I can help you to save time, stress less and save money in the long run. My goal is that my customers wear 100% of their wardrobe. Contact me for details, I would be glad to help.

This season, Motorcycle Jackets have become very cool, with fresh colors, zippers, studs and contrasting sleeves.

The Moto Jacket will add interest to any outfit. It is often worn open and fitted. However, as with any jacket, make sure when purchasing it that you are able to close it, without it looking too tight.

You can find them in rich leather but also faux leathers equally chic and less costly. Be careful with “plastic” looking fabrics. They are not attractive, look cheap and do not wear well.

Marlon Brando made the black leather and jeans iconic in 1953. The Moto Jacket has a masculine look so it could be paired with more feminine and luxurious fabrics such as chiffon, velvet, brocade and silk.

There are many varieties, colors and textures. Choose a jacket to suit your personality and existing wardrobe.
