Meet me at the Opera...


























And dont forget your gloves!!!!! Ladies, every woman is in need of a pair of opera length, ladylike gloves (thanks J.P)! My friend has shown me how truly fabulous this look can be and so easy to pull off, especially with the trend of coats and sweaters being cropped sleeves. We gotta keep those arms warm!!!! And why not be ladylike and elegant while doing so? I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair and have had much success with my old faithful, Ebay!!! I searched for vintage leather opera gloves and bingo, Jackpot!!!! And great prices too!!!!

One of this seasons best accessory is all about the arm-length glove. And their are many colors and textures to chose from! I have found some sample looks just for you!





Go ahead, take a chance and the opera would be perfect with that special someone and the perfect accessory to match!!!!!

Tier it Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lamb: $365
















Isaac for Target: $20




















So, you're still looking for the perfect holiday dress or how about the perfect daytime dress for lunch with the girls? Haven't found the one that quite makes a statement? Well, try out the latest trend...Tiered Dresses!!!! Tiered dresses seem to be popping up all over the place, from Saks to Target!!!! Very similar to ruffles, but oh so flattering for covering up "not so flattering" areas, if you catch my mid-drift!!!! They are fun and flirty and I have found some interesting takes on the fashion trend! The designer, Mint by Jodi Arnold, has some of the cutest I have seen thus far! You can find Mint at http://www.shopbop.com/ and a ton of boutiques and high-end retailers( Nordstrom, Saks, Bergdorf's). So, maybe this might be the look you were searching for and just right for "Tiering" it up on the dance floor!!!!!!
ella moss: $189





















Erin Fetherstone for Target: $45





































free people: $70


Marc Jacobs: $548

Guide to Style's Essential's List!!!!!!











Tim Gunn's Guide to Style will be airing its season finale tonight, so what better time to present his Essential's List, which is the top 10 items every woman should have in her closet!!!! To give you a little background on the show which airs on the Bravo network, Thursday's at 10pm; it stars the Mr. Make-It Work man himself, Tim Gunn and the former supermodel Veronica Webb. The premise of the show is to give a fabulous make-over to a woman in need. Not only do they raid the target's closet, but they also address the undergarments, which are crucial to making an outfit work!!!! In addition, they address an issue or conflict that may be holding the individual back, which I think is ultra important. So, not only do they do an exterior make-over, but they work on the inside too!!! I love it!!!! You have to check it out and see what I mean!!!!


The best thing that I have taken away from this great show is the Essential's List, which I have put together to share with you!!!!! Check out what every fashion diva and diva in the making or just day to day woman, should have in her closet! Let's start!








1. Cashmere Sweater: Perfect for a cold winter day!
















2. Trench Coat: This season's hottest outerwear accessory!
















3. Sweatsuit Alternative: i.e. cute littlehoodie with leggins or jeans
















4. LBD: Little Black Dress
















5. Crisp White Shirt
















6. Blazer: Cropped Blazer's are really cute right now.
















7. Day Dress
















8. Skirt: A-lines are always very flattering
















9. Black Pants: Key advice...Ladies with hips, get those pockets sewn down or opt for pants without pockets.


























10. Jeans: Try on as many pairs until you find the right one for you. Wide legged, dark denim are always flattering.





























*Bonus: Trendy Item: i.e. Sequin dress, skinny pants or jeans or mini dress(they are sure to be a trend that won't last forever)






























So, now you are set and ready to get your wardrobe in order!!!!!
