Designer Look
Giving the Cold Sholder
July 31, 2009
I really like this new trend of the eighties throwback to the one-shoulder dress. It reminds me of a sophisticated take on the off-the-shoulder sweatshirt from Flashdance. It is an alluring look -- just-enough-sexy without being obvious. I prefer the shorter, slim, curve-hugging one-shoulder dresses, which look more modern than the long, flowing kind that tend to look like you are wearing a toga.

I'll Have the Gellato!
July 21, 2009
It has been officially summer for about a month now, and with temperatures reaching ridiculous high numbers in the Southwest (I'm talking 115, people!), I'm nearly ready for the season to end. The only thing that keeps me going is the bounty of gelato-colored fashions cooling off my senses. The scrumptious blueberry-colored shirts, tart tangerine frocks and shockingly bright lemony shoes are giving me a sugar high just thinking about them. So, you too can bask in the yumminess of summertime colors, here is a sampling of some delicious looks that go from gelato joint bargain buys to get your own gelato joint pricey.

Daydream Believin'
July 5, 2009
I've had quite the hectic work week -- non-stop activity and some very, very long hours at work. But as I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, I kept thinking about how great it would be to escape this hellish week by finding a remote island, where I could bask on a beach, sipping a Mai Tai and doing absolutely nothing.
Of course, this was only daydreaming, as I was awakened to the realization that my crazy week wasn't quite over. But that short mental vacation helped ease my weary, computer-hazed eyes and gave me a small pick-me-up for what may lay ahead. And even though my impossibly, delicious beach vacation is highly unlikely, I can still pretend by looking the part.
Here are some great beach-bum looks that ooze that relaxed, do nothing because I'm on vacation look.
