Sexy and Sunny

Skys are clearing, flowers soon will be blooming, and the crisp air smelling like spring! Oh how we all can't wait! Those going away for spring break how envious I am. So make sure you are traveling in style!

Dresses are one of my obsessions and let me tell you the options for spring/summer 2011 are fantastic! Dresses are so much easier ladies! You don't have to worry about finding a top for that bottom or vice versa. A dress can easily be transformed from day to night and the amount of different looks you can create are overwhelming.

Throw a sweater over it, jacket, shawl, necklaces, bracelets, light weight scarves, belts, flats, heels, you name it! I find a dress to always be cute yet comfortable, casual yet dressy all at once. Sometimes even beats out a skirt in the best clothing option in my eyes.

Mini, Above the Knee, At the Knee, Below the Knee, to the Floor...

Take your pick and it will look sexy. Not only is it how you accessorize the dress, but carrying yourself with confidence will exude beauty.

People crave confidence. Remember confidence not cockiness. Look hot and know your hot! That is all there is to it!

Hunky Suiting

Listen up fellas! 2011 is all about the modern suits!

Two key factors when purchasing suits should be classicism and masculinity. Certain cuts flatter the male physique. Men want a suit that broadens the shoulders and trims the waist- showing off or giving the illusion of a fit body.

Need a suit? Look in to all of these factors:

Guys should also look into single breasted, double breasted, three piece suits, and sports coats.

Fabrics include: wool, cotton, linen, velvet

Patterns include: Glen Plaid, Damier Check, Herringbone, Harris Tweed, Pinstripe, Rope-stripe

Buttons: 1 button, 2 buttons, 3 buttons

Dresses and Skirts to the MAX

MAXI is back ladies!!! This spring/summer 2011 maxi dresses and skirts are the it things to be wearing!! Look sexy without showing too much leg, or any leg at all for that matter!

One thing about this fabulous trend is either you love the floor sweeping look or you hate it. Although I admire the women that so elegantly pull of this look effortlessly and look fab doing so, I am not so sure about the style for myself. Although I have the height for the dress, I do love showing off my long legs God gave me!! :) But that's just meee.

This trend is feminine and floaty! Power to the girls who pull off this trend oh so nicely! Who knows? Maybe I just may find myself rockin a maxi dress this season!!
