Need ideas for a chic last-minute Labor Day party/cookout outfit? We have one that will ensure you don’t look like you are trying too hard, but is on trend, won’t break the bank and is age appropriate. You can’t go wrong with a flowy maxi-dress, sandals, straw hat, aviator sunglasses and simple gold jewelry. Oh and a straw bag is a must! The white denim jacket will keep you warm at night or inside an over air-conditioned room
I sure do love my gold BuDhaGirl bangles. I wear them all the time and have become known for them. I’m also asked about them constantly (and of course I am more than happy to share the info), therefore I think it’s time I write about them. Don’t you?
We are hot on the topic of transitional clothing since we are just weeks away from the official or unofficial start of fall. You could say we are transitionally obsessed and fashionably impatient. Why? We get it’s hard to handle those warm fall days that turn into crisp fall evenings and we’re dying to break out the newest fall trends. Yet these days between summer and fall are really impossible to navigate. So we are here to help. One big trend for Fall ’16 is florals and since you can find them in pretty much every fabric, you can grab a few lighter pieces now. The trick is to stick with a darker background and color palette to make those flowers pop and look fall appropriate. Look for sheers, short sleeves and lighter fabrics like silk
Finally it’s the finale of the Real Housewives of New York and my mom is hooked. She is still horrified, but slightly hooked. “These women are so pathetic.” I agree but explain there is little real about reality TV and that they are laughing all the way to the bank. Anyway, we miss the first 15 minutes because I didn’t know it was starting early and again, I don’t have a DVR…which is probably for the best. I’m winging it again. So I have to watch it a little out of order. Sorry in advance
Bags have finally gotten a rock star moment. Guitar strap bags were seen on the Fall ’16 runways of Lanvin, Prada, Valentino, Burberry and Fendi. Now they are being knocked off by more reasonably priced brands like Rebecca Minkoff (which knocks off everything) to Steve Madden (who also knocks off everything). Look for extra wide, embellished straps. This is going to be the must-have bag of Fall ’16
