The Great Dress Exchange!!!!!!!! One more time, thanks to Blogger Glitch

 

Great Dress Exchange

How many of you have wondered "what will I do with that bridesmaids dress, I will never wear again?" Well, now you have a few options, 1) If the dress was one that fit you perfectly(very rare), but maybe the wrong length? Find a good tailor, have it shortened, dyed, and voila, you have the perfect evening dress or sexy formal! If this option doesn't work for you, how about turning in that old, closet-space stealer, for a new LBD(Little Black Dress), here!  NewlyMaid(thanks for putting me on, LMC) is a fantastic dress exchange which allows one to unload their not so treasured finds for perhaps, a much wearable option!!! To find out how it works, go here! Not only will your closet thank you, but your heart will too, as some dresses are recycled and others are donated to the Clothes4Souls organization! Giving and Getting...Not a bad trade!!! Check it out and let me know how you likey!!!

A New Twist On The Shift!!!!!!

What's old is new again-The Shift Dress

Shift your eyes to the new Shift Dress!!! This trend is definitely a classic and this season its taken a modern "mini" twist!!! Designers are mixing fabrics and patterns and shortening the length on this closet, straight laced, a-lined, staple! The shift is perfect for all occasions-from baby showers(I've got babies on the mind) to bridal showers to a first date! Go ahead and show some leg and arms too! Pair with a classic flat, like a Tory Burch or add some length and pair with a platform or a wedge! The options are, well you know, endless!!! Here are some of my picks:

The Best Wedge

Perfect Platform

Ethnic Shift

Classic Shift

Floral Shift

Nautical Shift

My Shoe!!!

May I introduce you to the...Toni!!!! Yes, Dolce Vita has named a wedge(spring/summer essential) in my honor, well, not really, but I can take the credit, right? In this case, I will because these little numbers are quite cute and the perfect spring addition!!! They pair perfectly with a colorful frock, like this one or with the other spring/summer wardrobe staple: the cargo pant or try the latest version, the short!!! Either way, you are sure to be saying something and have a nice little reminder of me, at your feet!!!!


Live Long and Get Spring Ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spring Vacation Recap!!!!!!!!!!!

Santa Monica Pier

Did you miss me??? I know I have been MIA for a few days, well a week, but for good reason! My family and I were on a Spring Vacation to my homeland of Los Angeles and then off to Vegas for a Very Special Vegas Wedding, Baby!!! And, my baby made his debut as the ring bearer du jour!!! (And he did a good job, too). Yes, I was in LaLa land and made it to all my favorite eateries, including In an; Out, Fatburger, and Roscoe's and even worked in a new spot, that was quite delish: Paul Martin's in El Segundo( which is truly the new it area in town). If you make it there, be sure and try the Linguine with Prawns...OH MY Lord, it was divine! My hubby and I also managed to work in a trip to the LA Zoo with our fabulous 2 year-old and Santa Monica Pier (I also checked out the new outdoor shopping center too--very nice, worth checking out). Then we were off to Vegas, where we stayed in the bright and attractive City Center at the Aria(rooms were fab, but the vanilla pumping through the lobby/casino drove me nuts, could be the pregnancy, but mostly it was just over the top). If you are all about the high-end retail, then City Center is for you! And if you are getting hitched anytime soon, and you want a Vegas wedding minus all the glitz and lights, you should definitely check out the Springs Preserve(which is where my friend's wedding was held--BEAUTIFUL and unexpected for Vegas). It was an amazing, relaxing, tummy-filling trip! Makes me want to be on Spring Break at least once a month!!!

Before signing off, I have to send out a great big ol' congratulations to the newlyweds, Dyan and Derrick! It was a perfect affair and we wish you all the best in Love and Life as you venture into the journey of Marriage together!
