French Manicure? Just say “Non!”

Sun February 7, 2010

With my trip to Paris a month away, I’m loving everything French except the French manicure – it’s so 2002, n’est-ce pas?

French No

French No!

Think mob mistress Carmela Soprano. As fashion guru Charla Krupp put it so succinctly in her bestseller, How Not to Look Old, “Nothing ages you like fake nails.” I couldn’t agree more, especially if they are long and all French-i-fied. Charla’s nail advice to those over forty: Keep them short, clean, neat and painted in a neutral color. Try Ballet Slippers by Essie – no formaldehyde, DBT or Tolulene. And if you live in the DC area, you simply must visit Sunny at Always Sunny Nail + Spa in Old Town, Alexandria. Perfect manicures that last at least a week, and the pedicures are to die for.

Carmella

Non!

JLOs Nails

Oui!

French No

Fri February 5, 2010

020410_wear_pregnantA stylish and practical wardrobe is vital for a pregnant woman to get through the nine months. The styles and silhouettes continue to improve, and there are so many options. You should take advantage of the glow that pregnant woman exhibit by incorporating a wardrobe, which compliments that “happy feeling”.

  • Shawl Wrap Cardi – this is a perfect wool cashmere blend cardigan that can be worn alone or as a layering piece. It is sold from the Isabella Oliver website which has a wonderful maternity selection.
  • Privo Kulin – these slip-on sneakers are soothing for swollen feet.

You may be preparing for baby showers and ensuring that the baby essentials are in place. You might want to take a peek at the Felix Rey ‘Toys & Trinkets’ Diaper Bag which comes in three chic designs.

We would love to hear any wardrobe pregnancy suggestions you may have.

Congratulations and enjoy your special time!

How to wear: dressy trench

Wed February 3, 2010

style-blog-dressy-trenchWhether the fabric is sateen or satin, the lustrous sheen will bring glamour to any trench. Combined with the ivory coloring, these coats are a great year-round piece that will compliment your evening outfits.
If you have narrow or sloping shoulders, you’ll love the dramatic portrait collar from Tahari. If you are looking for style with more structure, try Jessica Simpson’s Satin Trench.

what to wear: night out in las vegas

Mon February 1, 2010

night_out_in_lasvegasLas Vegas is a popular destination for a weekend with the girls or your significant other.  I have a couple of friends who are going soon, and they asked me to recommend a chic evening outfit that they can wear to dinner and a show -  Cirque de Soleil’s  “O” and Le Rêve are not to be missed!  The Las Vegas ambiance puts you in a glamorous mood, so here’s an outfit with glitz!

There’s no need to “roll the dice” with your wardrobe choices, so start this year right by purchasing a Wardrobe 911 Recipe Box.  The silhouette recommendations will ensure that you are buying the most flattering pieces for your figure.  We strive to provide fashion advice for all body types in our posts, and the realistic recipe box’s outfit cards will guide you during your shopping trips.

I hope you have a chance for a getaway, and remember, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!”

Fri January 29, 2010

The last few months I’ve felt like I’ve gotten a new girlfriend. Secret meetings at night. A brief stop at Wardrobe 911 to say hello and then off to continue where I left off the night before. It’s been exhilarating and exhausting at the same time.

And finally, I can let the secret out…the Wardrobe 911 Style Institute (www.styleinstitute.net) is getting ready to open for enrollment!

what to wear: plus-size weekend

Fri January 29, 2010

plus-size_weekendWhether you’re going on a casual date or hanging out with the family, here’s a great outfit for the weekend that is specifically for plus-size gals.

Online shopping seems to be the course of action for most women sizes 16-plus.  Old Navy offers low-priced plus size items exclusively online.  This wide-leg trouser jean is a favorite and with the dark wash and full-leg, it allows for room to move and provides a stylish fit.

Pair it with this sophisticated twisted-hem jersey tee. The scoop neck is ultra-flattering and looks perfect under Kiyonna’s coral drape knit cardigan.  I love this style for how it drapes over the curves yet doesn’t hide the figure. It comes in a multitude of colors and is the perfect layering item for your casual wardrobe.

For accessories, go neutral with the Frye Carson Shortie boot.  Add an additional pop of color with this fantastic orange multi snakeskin print tote. When wearing a drape knit such as the one shown, you want to wear a longer necklace to help balance.  This fun gunmetal necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane is just the ticket.
