The White Shirt

My Dearest Beauties,

When in doubt, wear a white shirt! Use it to go to work, to emphasize your tan, to go on a casual lunch date, for an important meeting and even under the heating sun at the beach. The white shirt is a closet staple, in my opinion, a woman should not only own one classic white shirt but also have a couple (or more, because why not?) of sassy variations for those days when she is in the "I have nothing to wear" coma state. It is versatile enough that it will let you give your outfit and look whatever mood you have in mind; I mean white is pure so you're free to draw a smile, look confident, feel sexy or countless other emotions.

I would suggest have four good white shirts and depending on your coloring go for a snow white or an off white. So, get one that fits you perfectly for under your business suit and for those occasions when you want to feel feminine and sophisticated in your jeans or anything else you are pairing it with. A second loose and oversized one that looks like you stole it from a man's closet (maybe stealing one from your man's closet is not even a bad idea) to use at the beach or to pair with shorts. Go for a third one with some kind of embellishments or lace detailing or just any adornment or highlight that's trending. The fourth option, is not exactly a white shirt but rather a white T-shirt, because who doesn't need one to wear on the weekends or to simply pair with jeans to run errands around town.

I know this may sound like a whole philosophy class on the white shirt but believe me it is one good gem in every lady's closet.

Much Love,

Leather Trend is Going Strong For Fall & Winter 2013

My Dearest Beauties,

We've seen leather going strong the past couple of seasons, and it seems like it is only getting stronger. You can always find at least one piece made of leather (other than the must have biker leather jacket) in almost all collections out there.

I can see why it is so loved! Leather makes you look fierce in an understated kind of way. You add edge without having to go crazy. Be careful though, because over doing might be too much. One leather piece in your outfit of a subtle and neutral color will make you stylish in a snap. I say, a subtle and neutral color because that is the best way to start, but if you already are on the band wagon then experiment, what's stopping you?

Below I will show you some of the picks I made from the lovely online shopping website Net-A-Porter. The captions under the images are direct links in case you want to see more details on the pieces.
