a stunningly attractive woman. (part I of V)


yeah, i said it. 

are we supposed to be obsessed with our looks? of course not.

but we better be attractive to our husbands! (and hey, ourselves.)

sooooo...

let's dress like babes! 

as a fashion designer, i am constantly getting asked my style advice. my style is super eclectic (i love every style of dress, so what's a girl to do but wear it all?!)

this advice isn't just for young chicks-every woman can benefit. after all, who do you think dresses my mom? seriously.

alright, here are my top 10 items every woman needs in her wardrobe.(or at least the first 2. more commin’ at ya soon.)


1.an understated piece of jewelry (or two)

this doesn't mean it's small and boring. example: i have a vintage mustard-colored bakelite bangle that i wear every single day. i've worn it for the past year and a half, and still look forward to putting it on. i have a clear plastic heart cocktail ring i wear daily as well. both pieces blend but pop nicely with every color and outfit, and i have grown to feel like they are a part of who i am. as silly as that may sound, it's nice to wear a piece that we feel represents us and reminds us of how special and unique we are. whether i'm washing the dishes or am at a major fashion event, i'm wearing them.



2. a shoulder bag.

if the right one is found, this is another must-have piece. every girl needs a big bag to carry all the necessities of life. carrying it diagonally over the body creates a nice slimming line, as well as allows two free hands. you won't know how you ever got around with that annoying little handbag.




notice the illusion of height the lines from wearing the bag diagonally give to my short frame. even if you don't know what i'm talking about, i promise you i'm right. :) i especially love the chartreuse color-i wear this bag with everything.

alrighty, there are 2 very necessary wardrobe components out of 10. go on a mission to find your perfect pieces. there'll be more coming soon-you don't want to miss it!
