time to shine

Balmain

With the festive season approaching quickly,its time to add some sparkle and shine to your style.Sequin is this seasons must have embellishment.Designers included sparkling pieces to their collections and my favorite on the runway was Balmain..

 If you wear a little bit of sparkle this holiday season don't overdue it with too many sparkling pieces.If a sparkling dress is your choice for the holidays, let it shine by adding  minimal accessories to your attire.

dress Marchesa

I really didn't watch the Oscars this year,but I really enjoyed my favorite part...the red carpet.It was so exciting to see who was best dress and worst dress.I had a couple of favorites,but my number one choice was  Halle Berry.Halle can pull off any look,she looks fabulous in everything. I would love this dress as a wedding dress....sexy but elegant.

Who did you think was the best dressed at the Oscars?

Green with Envy

The color green was the color of the night at the 2011 Golden Globes. I thought everyone wearing this color looked beautiful,but I wish Julianne Moore would have pulled this shade off again.The dress she wore wasn't flattering on her,the color was nice,click to see....Julianne Moore in pink. I like this green dress,she wore at the 2009 international film festival,green compliments her skin and hair color.

The Little Black Dress

My fascination with fashion,has always been the little black dress.Every woman should have a little black dress in their closet.Growing up black has always been one of my  favorite colors,I would wear black all the time. I always wanted a shop called the little black dress,another one of my business ventures...maybe in the works again.

Prints

Today I spent some time organizing and preparing to go back to work, after a two week holiday break.I'm back with the kiddies,schools in session.I'm also trying to get my new shop open,which hasn't happened yet.I packed the wrapping paper,ornaments and cards away...ready for Spring. I love last years spring  prints.I wonder whats in store for this years spring prints.

Trend Report..Camel

Sex Kitten by myfavoritepieces featuring leather tote bag

If you buy a coat this season make sure it's a camel coat There will be an array of styles this winter from princess cuts, military, double breasted straight cuts, belted styles and capes.This classic timeless staple is making a comeback again, so shop your closet for a camel coat. Lately I've been on the hunt for vintage camel coats for shop My Favorite Pieces. I found a gorgeous vintage camel coat last year, hope I can find a home for it this fall.
 The one thing I like about the color camel is it's versatility, it works well with anything. I love wearing my camel coat accessorized with reds and leopard prints.I pulled together the red and camel combo above,classic with a touch of vintage.The cat glasses and bracelet are both vintage pieces.I really love the red Mulberry handbag, which would be a splurge for me. I'm sure I'll find a similar steal on my thrifty shopping spree instead.

Alex and Chloe sale $36

red, white and blue

Hope everyone is ready for the forth, I know I am. I really haven't decided what my plans will be. I might go out of town with my beau, or stay home. If I stay home, I'll probably watch fireworks and plan a barbecue cookout, if I have time. It's so hard to make a decision, I'm so indecisive. Another thing I'm having problems with is, deciding what to wear. There are so many cute picks out there. Here are a few of my cute picks from a few online shops.

Don't break the bank this forth of  July , below are some great deals and one splurge. My favorite is the chiffon dress, I think this will be my forth of July pick, next search for a pair of cute sandals.
