Resolutions...

I rarely make New Year's Resolutions, but this year I've decided to change my ways. We will call them efforts, not resolutions, since I will have to make a conscious "effort" to make these alterations.


1) I will wear more heels! This seems small, but heels can change an entire look of an outfit...wearing heels makes your legs and butt look good too!

2) I will smile more. Smiling makes you feel good! There are studies that show when you smile even if you're upset it makes you feel better. Plus it brightens your whole face.

3) I will wear more accessories! I'm always rushing out of the house and forgetting to add some great jewelry to my outfit. When you incorporate the right accessories to your outfit it spices up your look.

Happy New Year!

Big Ringa-Ling Bling

I'm loving huge rings right now, an over sized cocktail ring is the perfect accessory to any outfit. Imagine a sparkly ring on your finger as you sip festive cocktails at your holiday party! Big rings are fun, yet make a bold statement without going overboard and it's a great conversational piece! If your fingers are feeling playful, head on over and pick one or two up, we have plenty to choose from.

Happy Holidays To You!

Perfect Little

Black Dress! We adore these black dresses. It’s just so perfect for any wonderful events you have going on. The Susana Monaco dress with the cutout and sheer netting in all the right places...the only thing missing is a pair of diamond studs and some killer heels. The strapless dress from Liquid has just the right amount of style, elegance and ruffle…it’s that ONE dress that can be for the one or ten dinners parties.

Don’t miss having these dresses in your closet!

Shoulders Please

We're giving winter the cold shoulder with these HOT dresses! We know it's chilly out but these dresses are sure to warm you right up. The details and silhouettes are amazing!

The black scallop polka dot with a little shimmer is timeless. If you want to show off your tiny waistline this is the dress for you. The aubergine dress is the perfect cut for anyone who wants to show off their arms...tone or not this cut will work for you! HOT, HOT, HOT is all I have to say about this electric pink dress, but of course we need to add a little sweetness with the flower. This is definitely a recipe for collecting double glances. So start counting!

Perfect V

I love when we get in a Bailey 44 shipment!It's hard not to take everything into our own personal wardrobes. All I could think about when I saw these latest ideas from Bailey 44 was “how perfect is this for a stunning pendant”. Nothing conveys that insightful touch of classic beauty more than a perfect V framed neckline. Whether you pair these looks with necklaces of gold or silver, pearls or stones-you just can't go wrong.

Don't miss out on these goodies!

Purple Arrivals

I'll take purple anywhere especially in these styles. This Liquid floral top has a graceful open-cut sleeves --- Sorry, Ms. Mannequin, you can’t possibility convey the gracefulness. YES, this is the Lilla P origami…the shirt that ties more than 10 ways. BWT – we and our clients have discovered our own new ties this season. Stop by for a lesson if you already own one and for those who don’t have one yet don’t miss out.
And, if you have great legs of interest...this Susana Monaco halter dress will be happy to add a measure of intrigue.

Don’t you agree that Pretty in Pink has just been replaced by Pretty in Purple.

Designer Spotlight: Poleci

This line was founded in 1990 in Los Angeles by two sisters with a flare for cutting edge designs. It wasn't until 1993 when they officially assumed the name Poleci. Clean, crisp silhouettes and an attention to detail is what makes this line so great. Their collections are made for women who love fashion and require sophistication.

It's a celebration here every time a new Poleci shipment comes in.

Come check out the drool-worthy goodies!

Got the Blues

This winter’s love affair with everything grey, brings a great collection of blue-greys. Don’t you think these beautiful pieces present the softest of visuals? So whether you are already in a mellow mood or need to find that mellow mood, stop by cause these pieces feel as soft as they look!

We just got in a shipment from Gentle Fawn and it not a moment too soon! Gentle Fawn makes great stylish everyday throw on pieces. From cute jackets, vest, tops they do not disappoint! All their pieces are so wearable and will blend perfectly into your wardrobe.

Date Night

Let's forgo the jeans for one night and throw on a little dress... especially with today's beautiful weather. We just got in some dresses that will make your night sizzle!

Susana Monaco does it again! The pleats on this dress make the fit amazzzinig and it’s an asymmetrical on the bottom...perfect for a night of dancing.

Or this gorgeous purple and brown print dress with an expose zipper in the back so it's had a little attitude...perfect for a dinner out with the hubby.

This deep green ponti dress hugs all your curves in the right way and the detailing on this dress is so elegant (you can totally pass on the spanx)...perfect dress for anywhere!

Crushing on Cardigans

This ribbon-tie cascading charcoal number pairs nicely with plaid, but of course you can pair any top with it...for those days you're not feeling the ribbon, tie the ribbon on the back and it will still

look good!

Classic Must! This v-neck mother-of-pearl button down is simple, yet chic. You can keep your look casual or dressy...it's all about what you pair back to it. Obviously this is a perfect piece to throw a belt over.

This is my favorite cardi!! I love how cozy it is. Everything about this cardigan is a must...from the shape to the buttons and the fabulous scoop neck! And yes it looks better on than hanging from this hanger!

Out of Fashion

Of course we read all the fashion magazines for inspiration, encouragement and spiritual guidance. Typically we turn through the pages and drool over each page, but this month we picked up one of our favorites (who will remain nameless) and were thoroughly disappointed. Each page we made a gasp...what are they wearing!! The looks resembled a blindly thrown together blunder.

Some might think the magazine is just a reflection of the season’s looks, but we disagree...how better to show you than putting together some of our amazing styles.

By the way the stuff looks better in person!

Happy Halloween

Trick-or-treating might be a little behind us...but Halloween is still all about sweet treats.

When it's time to check out, select your sweet treat from Velvet Ribbon's candy jar...open the candy to reveal your prize.

Yumi Kim

Yumi Kim has out done herself! These styles have it all... colors, prints, and embellishment. The detail on the pieces make them so fabulous--the neckline, the exposed zipper, the neatly woven waist detail-you can't go wrong with these tops since there on sale now!

Don't miss out on this steal!!

It's Chilllly

The weather has taken a turn! Thank goodness we have you covered, we have some great warm coats that will make it easier to face the cold.

This beige long coat from Tulle is going to get you plenty of compliments...besides the great color, the big chocolate buttons are so stylish and does it get any easy than a zipper closure?

If beige isn't your color then maybe this charcoal number from Hazel will interest you. The corset detail on the coat shows off the best part of your waistline and the collar is great because you can wear it a couple different ways.

If you're not into long coats than this short coat from Fillmore is perfect. Don't you love the trendy tweed!?! The oversize ruffle collar (which stays in place) gives the coat such personality. Everything about this coat is adorable, the best part is the coat cuts off at the perfect spot-whether your short or tall the coat will work for you.

We want you to have a coat that is just as cute as your outfits.

Our hats are here!

With the fall chill in the air thank goodness our hats have arrived! They almost make me wish the cold weather will continue... Relegate your existing fleece caps to your Saturday morning errands. Come pick out a new hat to capture your look for the season...we have great new colors and textures. There is nothing like a cute hat to complete your look.
