Spring 2010: Flower Shop

Florals are one of my favorite prints it gives me a lovely vintage spirit. Some may call it "old lady" but I see nothing grandma about wearing a floral mini! Everyone has a different vision and attitude on how they work their pieces. Florals as Aging Diva or Vintage Queen, either way it's definitely on the radar this spring/summer season.

Don't own any floral prints? For fun old school fits and styles go to a thrift shop near you. Don't know any shops? Go to google and search, you'll be sure to find one).

Spring 2010: The Wedge!

Nothing screams comfort and sexy more than a pair of flirty wedges.. this spring and summer it is all about wedges rather your sport them down or spike them up, be sure to add them on your top ten list.

TIP: Use the R Factor (Reuse, Revamp to Rework) for some of old wedges you may have hiding in your closet. Tired of the ones you have? Well have a swap party with friends and family to get new looks!

What I'll be Reworking this spring and summer? My Nine West wedges that I had since 05. They are super comfortable and each year I get a kick out of wearing them.

Your Evening Tea: Intimate Obsessions

I hope you're not waiting for Valentines day just to be sexy! You should always have fabulous nightwear no matter if you're single or taken. As a intimates expert and manager at Victoria's Secret I always tell my clients to invest in bras, panties, baby dolls, night gowns, robes etc. Ladies if your not pampering and spoiling yourself who will? It's starts with simplicity, like wearing a soft robe and cute slippers around your home will have you feeling prim. Take the time to run your own bubble bath, turn on the slow jams or the party pumpers and pour yourself some red wine. If you do this at least three times a month I promise you a change in your mood.I'm ordering you to get obsessed with yourself stop worrying about everything else, stress kills!

Leopard Balconette Bra, $8.80
Leopard Lace Thong Panties, $3

Ladies Night Out @ Pranna

Restaurant Week in NYC is one of my favorite events, you get three course meals for great prices. One of my friends made reservations for the ladies @ Pranna restaurant, on Madison avenue in lower Manhattan. The decor of the place is fabulous, music is upbeat and the food is great. Of course the most spectacular of the night is being out with my fabulous ladies Essence, Tia, Tiffany, Kiki and Naadira. Luv ya!
