The Square

Guys, add some punch to that gray, navy, or black suit! If you are not bold enough to wear a crazy tie or bright colored shirt, then do it with your pocket square.

Pocket Squares can really add a wow factor to your suit. Not only can you use one but you can twist two together to contrast each other. Pocket Squares are a simple yet fancy way to jazz up your suits!!!

You can choose cotton or silk, just make sure you stay away from the super shiny silk. If you don't think you can stray away from white, we always love white so it's not a problem! :)

Most important Accessory: Ladies HAIR!!!

Hair is more important than you think. Up, Down,Straight, Wavy, Curly, Long, Short, Black, Brown, Red, Blonde.....it all matters!! Believe it or not many people don't care about what their hair looks like. I must admit it is hard to keep up with when you are the everyday consumer working hard and busy as ever. Many of us are just too tired to keep up with our Do. But that is a big mistake!

Halle Berry cute short cut with Highlights

Yes we don't have hairstylists surrounding us touching up hair and makeup after every step we take. I am well aware trust me. But no one is saying you need a professional hairdresser or makeup artist to look fabulous. There are ways to cheat...and you should take advantage of them.

Jen Aniston's long Golden Locks look sleek and straight with some body

By now we all know what type of hair we have: whether it is manageable or not, frizzy, flat, fast drying, thick, thin...I am sure you all have a pretty good idea. If you know you are the type of person that will not get up in the morning before school or work to do your hair than get a cut that is manageable.

Talk to your hairdresser- I know this statement is very intimidating for many of us. I can relate. To be honest I myself do not have one hairdresser I go to. I change it up constantly as does my mother....and some get very scissor happy. BUT THAT IS NOT THEIR JOB!! Their job is to cut your hair the way you want it!!! Let them know that you want something easy to manage and a product that can make that possible.

Mischa Barton looks sultry with her reddish brown wavy locks

 Know yourself and whether you are going to get up in the morning and dry your hair, put rollers in it, or want to roll out of the shower or bed and put a product in it to be good to go.

Reese Witherspoon looks like a blonde goddess with her cute short bob.

Ladies, Men love a natural look. Hair full with body has been proven in surveys that it turns on a man. Don't over process yourselves with highlights. Many of you don't need them and unless you can afford to constantly upkeep them, don't ruin your natural color.

My label junkies and bargain shoppers can both check out to find a salon near you:

Don't be lazy and let your hair go. Do up your Do!!

Ladies wearin the Pants

Hello Ladies! So the other night I had a formal to attend. Felt gross, as usual I had nothing to wear. Kept thinking about all the fabulous dresses and killer heels all the ladies would be wearing. Dress after dress, skirt after skirt nothing was fitting or looking quite right.

Then it hit me....Pants! Why not? Ladies can look sexy in a pant suit. It screams confidence, power, and sophistication. The Skinny black dress pants from the gap, a sexy top, and a fitted black blazer was the perfect eye catcher of the night.

You want to be different ladies and still look sexy?! Go for the skinny dressy pant look. You certainly wont have to worry about your butts hanging out and you can get away with wearing flats in you would like. Yes, I was the only girl in the room with pants on....yet I was still a hottie patottie. Many compliments from men...so be daring and go for the pant suit! It's sexy and shows you are not afraid to stand out!!!!

Nutty Neon

NEON NEON NEON!! How can ya not love neon??!! Ever since a small child I have loved the bright highlighter colors! They look fabulous with black or white. Neon shades are great statement pieces to spice up an outfit.

Bathing suits, summer scarves, sunglasses, cardigans, tees, shorts, skirts, dresses, pants, shoes, nail polish, accessories, and pretty much anything else you can think of can act as your statement pieces.

Neon can be refreshing, edgy, and breath of fresh air. Be daring and bold in these fantastic colors!

Men in Shorts

Shorts are not only great for women, but men as well. They are comfortable and keep you cool. Guys, I would not recommend a night out on the town wearing shorts. Many places require pants. But if you are going a friend's place or pool party then knock yourself out.

Lets keep another thing in mind, lets not go too short in length. Although it's socially acceptable in some places, for the majority it is not. Save the leg for the bedroom boys! Also keep in mind that you don't want them too long either. If they are too long they may look like capris. We know women wear ankle pants and capris but that doesn't mean men should.

David Beckham

Gym shorts, plaid, khaki, chino, cargo, take your pick. Although denim shorts do exist I am not sure how I feel about them on men. It depends on the style, wash, and person wearing them. For the little kids they are adorable, but adults....in my eyes not so much.

Guys, I would recommend wearing shorts with boat shoes such as Sperrys, Tods, general loafers, maybe sneakers, flip flops if you have that cool factor to get away with the look. Boots-no way! Put the Tims away if your not hiking.
