4th of July Swimwear!

It's the last day of June (sigh). Summer is moving along quickly, but the 4th of July coming up this weekend! Do you have your best swimwear to celebrate our country's independence in? My favorite place to turn for cute swimwear on a budget is of course Target!

If you are trendy....

...try this asymmetrical monokini by Xhiliration.

If you are tradional...

...try this bandeau bikini by Xhiliration 

(comes with a strap to make it a halter).

If you have a vintage flare...

...try this one piece by Merona with a little more coverage 

and a 1960's feel to it.

If you are an individualist...

...try this gold bikini by Zac Posen for Target. You will definitely 

stand out at the beach!

Also, for a unique look try mixing patterns on the top and bottom pieces with the same color story. 

Tie in the black and white polka dots from the top into these bottoms with 

black and white polka dot trim.

Enjoy!

Celeb Spotting: Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue was wearing something quite tragic on a TV show in London to promote her new album. I like the idea of the dress, but hate the fabric combination.

Thoughts?

June Shoe of the Month

This month's shoe of the month goes to Aldo's Caudle wedge sandal. I love to wear wedges because they give so much more support than a smaller stiletto heel. This shoe comes in Cognac (shown) and black. I love the cognac color because it's not quite a brown and you can still wear it with black ensembles.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to the BRA!

Doutzen Kroes at the 2009 Victoria's Secret runway show.

Forget chocolate! Never mind diamonds! A woman's true best friend is a bra! Nothing gives you support like a well fit bra. Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the bra's invention by getting yourself fitted for a bra. Go buy the best push-up bra money can buy! You deserve it!

Hollywood Glamour

Eva Longoria-Parker looked absolutely stunning at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in a romantic, white Pucci gown! She is the epitome of Hollywood glamour and definitely a fashion icon.

MUST SEE!!!!!

You have to check out the Fall 2010 runway show from Viktor and Rolf! This show is the most creative and inventive fashion show I have seen. Designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren transform their pieces into different looks right there on the runway. As they undress one model, they create a new look on another model by using zippers, ties and belts. It's unique because it makes you feel like you're backstage at the show watching the models get changed into other looks.

Here is the starting look. Model Kristen McMenamy is probably wearing her weight in clothes.

 Look carefully. This coat is transformed into a dress. The zippers below her hands are undone and zipped to zippers in the back to make a skirt and sleeves.

The extra long sleeves are rolled up and a belt is the final touch to tie in the waist.

The final look is breathtaking, just as any final look should be. Worn as a skirt first...

...Viktor and Rolf transform it into an exaggerated cape.

The complete runway show is a must see! You have to witness the transformations for yourself! Go to http://www.viktor-rolf.com/ and then click on fashion to watch the show.

Enjoy!

True Love!

Today, I fell in love! My soul mate, or should I say 'sole' mate is from Nina Ricci's Fall 2010 collection. This girly, pink, peep-toe mule is to die for! Not only are they feminine and pretty, but they're interesting to look at. It's almost like a small piece of architecture! The velvet, flower detail and animal skin all together give it great techture.

Check out the rest of Nina Ricci's Fall 2010 collection at http://www.ninaricci.com/. You'll fall in love with it all!

Enjoy!
