I must admit that I am a heels girl. The only time I wear sneakers is when I work-out. Sure I wear the classic Chuck Taylor’s but only on rainy days. They are my casual go-to sneakers on weather like that. When exercising, I and along with everyone else would prefer comfortable pair of sneakers. I recently found that comfort on a pair of New Balance 410.
I do Tae-Bo, Hip Hop Dances as well as Latin Dances. I also do Pilates but I go barefoot when I do that. With Tae-Bo and various dances, I have to wear sneakers. …read more

I have never really consider buying a pair of riding boots to incorporate in my Fall ensembles since I like my boots with at least 2 inches heels. However after perusing the Marshall’s Fall 2009 Lookbook wherein a pair of riding boots was featured in different looks , I changed my mind. Let me illustrate How To Wear Riding Boots with the help of Marshall’s Fall 2009 Collection which I think you would love and approve of.

For an early Fall ensemble, try a deep colored ruffled top underneath a gray bomber jacket, with sequined skirt and the riding …read more

I actually like this flower patch dress from Forever21. I love the patched flower trims on the neckline and the edged out hem. I love the contrasting colors of white dress and the purple, brown and green prints. It’s definitely pretty. I would love to wear this dress right this minute to beat the summer heat except for a couple of problems.
The neckline is too low and it doesn’t seem to have a good support for the bust. The model pretty much served as a hanger for the dress. I’m sure you have heard that kind of reference in …read more

Sometimes I see dresses over at Forever21 that I really like but get disappointed at the length. They’re probably meant for younger buyers but as a woman in my 30’s I could actually see myself wearing them. Only if they were a little bit longer. Perhaps, just above the knee or so. Take for example these 3 cute dresses.
OK, while I may not actually wear this Box Pleat Bubble Dress ($27.80), I think it would still look better for a woman in her late 20’s if it’s a little longer. Right? It would be a cute cocktail dress for …read more

Harem Pants, I call it the undecided pants. It couldn’t make up its mind. Whether it wanted to be loose or tight. So loose and tight it is. The result? An Ugly looking pants that is a big FASHION DON’T.
Sorry but unless you’re one of the contestants on So You Think You Can Dance, Harem Pants are just freaking ugly. I could understand it’s sort of comfortable that’s perfect for dance performances. It could be edgy with embellishments. But other than that, I don’t know how anyone else who could justify wearing a loose crotch and tight knees or …read more

A scarf is one of those versatile accessories since you can do a few things with it besides wearing it around the neck which happens to be the classic way to wear a scarf. Here are 3 different ways to wear a scarf that I follow from time to time. Mostly when I remember I actually have scarves in my closet .
Around the neck. Tie it in a bow OR wear it long. Please ignore the top I’m wearing. I just wanted to illustrate the scarf in a bow. Although the long way worked with the top perfectly.

Let me explain the title first. The day after I cropped and put a collage together from the pictures of me wearing the Black Sabbath Hi Top Chuck Taylor (3rd picture), I checked the entries from the  Converse “The Doors” Sneakers giveaway and a comment from Joni made me smile.  Apparently her daughter told her that Mom’s don’t wear Chuck’s. She couldn’t be more wrong .

I’m a Mom of 2, a 10 yr old boy and 2yr old girl. Look at the pictures above, I’m wearing Chuck’s . I also have a pair of the black hi-top …read more

I fell in love with this London Times Tiered Dress as soon as I saw it from Dillard’s.  See, tiered dresses are very flattering to my body. I don’t have a six pack abs. I’ve discovered through the years that tiered/ruffled styles help out in hiding my little bumps here and there. While some people could get lost with the trends in fashion, it’s important to learn what works with your body.
I’m not saying you should have the body like the girls from "The Hills" or "Gossip Girls" to wear fashionable , stylish, or trendy clothes. Not at …read more

If you still haven’t found a pair of knee-high boots for this season, I suggest this  Unlisted by Kenneth Cole boots on sale for under $45.

Unlisted by Kenneth Cole "strawberry swirl" tall boots, $43.99 in sizes 6-10. This boots has 3.5 stiletto heels which as we all know is sexy but probably not a snow-friendly boots. So don’t wear this boots if you have 4 inches of snow outside. There’s a difference between being stylish and just plain stupid. If you live in California, the part of Cali that doesn’t have snow of course, perhaps Florida, Texas, or …read more
