Love the Emmys

hey Ladies,
I had the best time watching the Emmy's last night. I love checking out all the gorgeous and unique dresses that our favorite stars have on. I will say...their were a few that were very questionable. But , it wouldn't be Hollywood if you didn't step out of the box a little. SO cheers!!! to the ladies and men who decided to go for a different rout in their style selection. Some good and some bad. I love fashion, and I love to see how each designer comes up with something different for every event. What fun!!!

Try something new to your wardrobe,you might be surprised, you too could set a new trend. Love yourself and what you are wearing. Confidence is the key!!!!

Have a great week and know that God loves you unconditionally. Love Laura

I love Fall!!!

I love fall, I guess it's because it reminds me of back to school shopping and getting new clothes! I also love the cooler weather, the thrill of all the friends gearing up for football,and last but not least the fun fall colors!!!
We all have so much to look forward to when it comes to the fun Fall fashion this year and many of us already have bits and pieces of the fall items in our closets. Fun game day outfits, bold new colors, warmer clothing, and brand new outfits for those fun fall activities.

Here are a few tips to get yourself ready, a geared up for the festive season-
Keep your plaid Shirts-wear it with legging or jeans. Mix it up with a scarf for those cool football nights.
Fall Florals-yes, I am sure everyone has a floral dress in their closets. Take that dress and put a classic blazer over it, or nice fitted cardigan with some great short boots or even long.
Simple Sweaters-Add a little pop of color to those simple sweaters, and let the color flow from underneath or up top.
Ruffles-instead of your ruffled top, keep it simple and make it a ruffled cardigan.
Bold Colors-Be sure to add contrasting colors to your simple bold dress. Gold is a great start if you do not want to go too extreme!!
Layer-Layer,Layer,Layer..this is such a fun way to dress your outfit up or dress it down for a fun football game. Be sure to layer your colors as well.

Ladies, I know we can all get really excited about the cooler weather in the fall, be sure to dress appropriate for the weather, and do not wear anything that is going to make you look bigger then you really are. Cardigans,Jeans, Sweaters and tops need to fit your body type perfectly. So be careful when you are picking out these fun fall items. Work to where it fits your body type. Belts and ties can also play a major role in keeping you looking nice and proportioned.

Have a happy Fall!! and God Bless

Just so you know I took a lot of their clothes and made them very transitional. You can tell how I changed something as simple as the mustard patterned top, with pants, and then with a cute black skirt. That made it a little dressier.
I also took a strapless multicolored silk top that was paired with some skinny jeans, and a cardigan, and then transitioned it into a cute skirt. I then paired it with a lace top, and belted it. You can add some great camel boots for the fall.
And big thanks to my sweet, gorgeous model Melissa. You are just precious!!!

Thought for the day

Ok Ladies, here is a idea for your clothing style. If you are small at the bottom makes sure you wear a more body fitting pant or skirt. Make your top a little bigger. This will make you look evenly proportioned. And vice versa, if you are small at top you want to wear a fitted top, and keep your pants or skirts a bit loose. This will draw attention to the right area's of your body.

remember,
no one has a "perfect" body; I have met many women who are ready to tell you exactly what they don't like about their bodies.
It is extremely important to determine our body type - first and foremost- as it helps us to visualize a certain shape; then, we chose what to wear to best suit our body shape, making therefore, the most of our body by creating an illusion of a well balanced figure.

Great way to Shop

Great little boutique,that has started their own website. What a great way to have easy access shopping, for cute, trendy clothes. Makes life easier for us busy women. Enjoy!!!!

I love Denim!!!

Ok Ladies,
We all have this in our closet, so we all know that we are in the trend for the fall season. But, we need to figure out how and and what to wear with it. I love my jeans. We can all get a little boring when it come to wearing just our basic tops, or sweaters with them. Be sure to look beyond that. First, You can make a pair of jeans stand out by adding a pop of color. Second, be sure to pull out that old Denim Jacket, what fun!!! I just love my jacket! You can wear it over a dress,skirt, and yes, I am going to say it..even with Denim jeans. Here are a few pics of the latest Denim trends.

5 way to feel confident

Hey Ladies I found this article and I could not of said it better myself. Be sure to read this. We could all use a little bit of confidence. Remember, you need to feel good about yourself to look good. And each and everyone of you have beauty in you. So let's all use it!!!!


Studies show that when you feel good about yourself, and are confident, you look better to other people. I know for a fact that my girlfriends look a whole lot better when they stand up tall and are proud of the way they look, whether they are curvy, skinny, or anything in between. And I know when I feel confident in myself, I seem to attract more men without even trying. But how, you ask, when faced with Heidi Klum and her post-baby bod, or Adrianna Lima and her flawless skin, can you feel beautiful? After all, I might have a bit of a tummy, or my hair may not be washed, and I have a wrinkle here or there. But honestly, I know you’ve heard this a hundred times, you are your body’s worst critic. I can guarantee you he never notices those little things (unless you point it out to him). Still not convinced? Here are ten ways to make yourself feel more confident and sexy when you walk out of the house.

Wear Flattering Clothes
I bet at the time you’re sitting there in front of the mirror, pointing out all of your little flaws, you’re in your baggy sweats and old t-shirt. But if you wear clothes that flatter your body, you will feel a hundred times better. As my friend Sadie always says “Clothes make the body”. And it’s true. For me, I know I have a bit of a tummy, so I enjoy wearing belted dresses, cropped jackets, and low cut jeans. Those things make me appear to lose almost five pounds, and take attention away from my belly. I never go near any tight fitting shirts or dresses, because that would only accentuate, and you want to do that to your good parts, not your bad parts. Look online or in some magazines for articles on clothes for your body type.

Make a List of All the Good Things About Yourself
Sure, this might sound like something out of a t.v show (Full House, anyone?)¸but it works wonders. Feeling down on yourself? Not liking the way a certain body part looks? Don’t just sit there and focus on it, find something good about yourself! Do you think your pores are too big? Well, you have a beautiful smile! Chest too flat? But you have some gorgeous hair! Every time you find something wrong, find something right and put it on the list. Then, repeat the things on your list to yourself when you feel crappy. Voila!


Stand Up Straight
Not only does this make you appear more confident, but its actually good for your figure! I read in a health book once that keeping your back up and your abs tight is actually a good way to keep them that way (of course its no replacement for actual exercise). When you have bad posture, it makes you look shorter, fatter, and unapproachable. Who would you rather approach of two men? The guy who was standing up straight, or the guy whose back and shoulders were hunched over? I rest my case.

Eat Healthy/Exercise
Yeah, yeah, sure. We’ve all heard this spiel before. Eat right, exercise, and your world will be perfect, yada yada yada. But honestly, do you feel better after eating a bunch of fast food, or after eating something healthy, yet satisfying? That’s because if you eat something that is anti-bloat, like yogurt for instance, not only do you feel proud of yourself for making the right choice, but your body literally thanks you. Unhealthy and fatty foods upset your tummy, make you feel crummy, and are just blech. Same goes for exercise. You’re proud of yourself, and that little high you get after exercising makes you happy. Did you know that exercising causes a release of endorphins, which make you feel happy, thus confident. Cool, huh?

Get Some Good Friends
This one should be a given. I’ve had some really unhealthy friendships in the past, and all they made me do was feel bad about myself. These girls who were supposedly my friends would make subtle hints about my body. Things like “Do you really think you should eat that?” or “You know, I heard about these really good diet pills…”. And I know women, after all, I am one. For some reason, we seem to be attracted to “friends” who talk behind our backs, and are just plain catty. Friendships should make you feel good about yourself, not make you feel down. Oh, and those girls who recommended the diet pills? Yeah, they’re in an ED clinic right now. It turned out they were so laser pointed on the so-called flaws on their own body, their minds couldn’t take it, so they had to put some of the burden on other people. So if a “friend” tells you these kind of things, chances are they’re just self-conscious



So now, we’ve gotten through the list, or the happy list as I like to call it. Just remember one thing as you leave here, you are all beautiful. Even if you don’t think so half of the time. None of us are perfect, so lets all remember that. This is a great list that can keep each and every one of us going through the day. Be sure to smile,and have a great self-esteem filled day!

Best Bet: The Red-Hot Silk Dress

Best Bet: The Red-Hot Silk Dress

Hey Friends,I just love the rich bold colors for the fall. Here is a great example of the red/orange colors for the upcoming season. This dress is perfect for day and night, and you can transition it into the spring. By adding different shoes, and a nice pop of color, and you have a entirely new outfit for a different season. Be sure you buy clothes that you can transition, it is certainly Worth the money!!!

Sweater/cardigan

Hey Friends,
I am going to post a website of all the latest fall trends. Check them out!!! I also want you to know that Oversized sweaters are in. You may have one, or two in your closet from last year. But if you don't be sure to stop by the gap, they have some great sweaters hanging up on their sale racks. I bought one for 12.00,it is a wonderful Grey color.And that can be worn with a lot!!!
closet this season. The newest sweater silhouette is an oversized sweater cardigan. Hitting anywhere from below the hip to knee-length, the chunky oversized sweater is the perfect cozy option for milder days; it is also perfect for indoor offices that are too chilly to go sweaterless.

Wear your oversized cardigan sweater with slimmer bottoms: skinny jeans or leggings tucked into tall boots are ideal. Because it's such a bold shape, you can easily carry off stronger pieces of jewelry with it like statement necklaces, layers of necklaces and big cuff bracelets. One way to look taller and slimmer is to wear a top (layering tee, long-sleeve tee or other top) in a matching color as the oversized cardigan. Be sure to pair it up with a great summer dress that you have in your closet and some Boots. Short boots or ankle boots.
