<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lately, my obsession for fringe has gotten out of control.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the prices on some of these pieces? Out of control as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to buy everything that has some sort of fringe on it. I recently stumbled upon a gorgeous fringe skirt while shopping at one of my favorite store (Intermix), and I also "stumbled" when I saw the price. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Six Hundred Dollars. <--- NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! (Yet)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, I don't mind spending the money on classic pieces that I will own for years. But I couldn't wrap my head around a $600 fringe skirt that I may or may not wear only a handful of times. So I decided to some research and find cheaper alternatives. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Check out these fabulous Fringe Skirts, at every price range</u>: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coachella… A time of year when girls (and guys) really express themselves through fashion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coachella… Where you become Creative and Artistic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coachella… Where the "IFD" (Inner Fashion Diva) comes out and you are ready to show your outfits off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coachella... Where trends are born.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Living here in Los Angeles for the past four years, I've noticed a bit of my inner Hipster emerge. It wasn't until last year, that I attended my very first Coachella festival. Crazy, right? I know… It's almost a condition and requirement for living in LA - 1) Buy tickets a year in advance (if you can get through on their site) or just Craig's list them right before, hoping you don't get scammed, and 2) Attend Coachella (Week 1, lol) every year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I honestly didn't know what to expect the first time around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wasn't really sure what I was doing…especially when it came to putting outfits together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I googled, and researched and asked tons of people… and I never really got a grip on the whole "Coachella" thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Wear comfortable shoes" they said, and "dress cute". What does that even mean?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I packed about four bags of clothes, and shoes and accessories…. and somehow managed to come up with something "decent" to wear - which was so so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The purpose these series of blogs (The Coachella Diaries) will be to give you tips on attending "chella", whether it's your first time or hundredth time - from my standpoint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From tips on your shoes, clothes, accessories and outfits.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some of my pics from last year…. hope you enjoy. I know I had a blast! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">September 22…. The first day of Fall… Where the temperatures begin to drop (in most places), the days become shorter and the nights become longer… and one of my favorite fashion seasons begin. There is somethings magnificent about wearing a jacket/coat/trench/blazer that I absolutely ADORE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some pointers for getting the best deal you can:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Always shop sale: most of these stores almost always have coupons or sales regularly, so you can get the brand and quality at a great price. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Shop at outlet stores: most of these stores have outlet stores as well that have sales on top of the discounted prices. You can always check online or sign up on the email list, where you get the info on all the great deals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Buy your coats in February/March: That's when they clearance out. The best deals. I've gotten a $800 Tahari wool coat for $100, a $1500 Gucci wool blazer for $300, etc… </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- If you are really on a budget: There are some really great deals available on sites or stores like Overstock, Old Navy, Forever 21, and H&M to name a few. Know what your budget is and stick to it. If you can afford it, great. If you can't, there are so many options for different budgets. You never want to put that pressure on yourself. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Always remember, there is no expiration date when it comes to confidence.... and confidence NEVER goes out of style. How up-to-date are you?</span></div>

I'll be headed to Cabo in a few weeks and I'm so excited!! I've been to other parts of Mexico before but never Los Cabos. It's about a 2 1/2 hour flight from Los Angeles and we will be staying at the Pueblos Bonitos Pacifica Resort. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know if you get like this too, but every time I have a trip planned, I need to shop and prepare for the trip. This tends to irritate the Husband, because he says people normally shop in the cities they are visiting. Whatever…. I like to do both! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some dresses and rompers I recently purchased and I'm so excited about! I'll post another blog of the accessories I'll be taking. </span></div>

I can't believe the weekend is almost here!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today's blog is going to be about some of the products I've recently stumbled upon and some that I've been using religiously. All of which I LOVE!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being 32, I definitely notice my skin and body aging, and it sucks. All of it. At the same time, I can honestly say I've never felt better. I feel sexier now then I did in my twenties. And that is a great thing. (Hopefully I'll feel the same in my forties)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've never really been a HUGE fan of plastic surgery, something that is so common nowadays. I'm not against it at all and don't want to sound like a hypocrite. I've have a breast augmentation and have always contemplated a nose job. There is nothing wrong with it. I just feel like people take it over board, especially when it comes to their face. At the age of 25, girls are getting botox, and crazy lip injections and chemical peels, and they are caking on tons of make-up. To each is own, but I feel like there should be a limit to things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe in natural beauty and I believe everything starts from your confidence and how you feel about yourself. If you don't learn to love yourself and feel good from within, nothing you do will help.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With that said, I've always been CRAZY about taking care of my skin. I guess you can say it started from puberty. I was fortunate enough to have zero acne. But witnessed many of my peers and family suffer from it. That always motivated me to take care of my skin. I've tried many products and have always tried to keep things to a minimum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not that girl that wants to do things 50 times a day and and use a 100 products. I hate that. I don't have the patience for that, let alone the time. Things need to be simple and effortless with me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First things first, analyze your skin. You need to find products that work for you. What may work amazingly on me, may be horrible on your skin type. I have extremely dry skin. Especially since I've moved to Los Angeles. My skin is also sensitive. I break out easily (not with pimples, but with tiny little bumps under my skin). I initially started buying products for dry, sensitive skin. And everything was the exact opposite. All the products made my skin feel oily which would in turn, clog my pores.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Understand, you have to got through trial and error with different types of products. What I'm going to share with you, are things that work amazing with my skin. They might night work for you. So if you get something, based on someone else's recommendation, don't be disappointed if it doesn't work the same for you. Try something else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some great products I've been using, and absolutely loving.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Given that I have dry skin, I was a little nervous to use this. I was scared it would really dry my skin out. It has salicylic and glycolic acid. Both great for breakouts and aging skin. I use this once a day, and after two weeks, I've noticed a huge change in my skin. I chose to get this one with the buffing beads, they have this in a gel cleanser as well, because it exfoliates your skin as well. My skin looks and feels smoother and brighter. My skin also <u>does</u> feel dry after I use it, but the next product I've posted takes care of that. This is available at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/">www.Sephora.com</a>, which is where I got it. I'm pretty sure <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">www.Amazon.com</a> sells it as well.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know what it is about this, but I absolutely LOVE this. I've tried everything. From La Mer to Vaseline. This product Hydrates my skin, but doesn't make me feel "Oily". I don't feel like I'm wearing anything, and I love that. When you go to the make-up counter, they want to sell you everything. Don't fall for it. I've been told I need to use a moisturizer after this, then SPF. Thank you but no thanks. Like I've mentioned before, this is it, and this instantly hydrates me. I buy mine from <a href="http://www.bloomingdales.com/">www.Bloomingdales.com</a>, but again, I'm sure it's available on Amazon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you use this, it will be hard to use anything else. The Body Polish, exfoliates and hydrates. Its amazing to use before you shave. Or after. I use this every other day. It works perfectly for my dry skin. The Sugar Lip Polish is AMAZING! I hate cracked lips. Yes, I said the word hate. Use this every day after you brush your teeth (if you brush your teeth) in the morning or at night, and you can say good bye to cracked/dry lips. The body polish runs you about $38.00 for the small size and $65.00. The sugar lip polish is $22.50. You actually use very little of the product, so it ends up lasting you a long time. If these are too pricey, which I totally understand, it's actually very easy to make your own. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh Josie, I've fallen in LOVE with you. I've recently started using this (About 6 months). You can use it on your skin and hair, which is great. I light the <u>ligh</u>t one, because its not as concentrated as the regular. I don't like to feel or look oiled up. I put this on at night and let it soak into my face, neck, and hands. Yes hands. Because you can see the aging happening there as well. Everything I do to my face and neck, I do to my hands. Anyhow, I can feel my skin just soak this up. It's great. You can find it at Sephora for $58.00. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I Love this. Its great for dry skin. I use the Vitamin E on my hands, feet, knees and elbows. Sometimes, I wear gloves and socks to really lock the moisture in. You can also add it to your favorite lotion for some extra moisturizing. I always have it in my bag. I use it on my lips. Its a great product all around. You can even use it in your Homemade Brown Sugar Scrub. Any Brand works great, I tend to gear towards organic ones. A bottle will run you $8.00. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, seriously, when I found out about this product, I felt like I died and went to heaven, literally. I've worked in a pharmacy for eight years, and we sold a lot of the Acne cream Retin-A to young teens. I started to notice that a lot women in their 40's and 50's get this product, which was a bitt odd. I did some research, spoke to my dermatologist, and I was told it works wonders on wrinkles. Its basically Vitamin A. (You can google it for more info/drug facts). I got excited and tried it. It killed my skin. It not only dried my skin, it made my skin peel and burn. It was the worst (for me). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then learned about this. Which is over-the-counter. You need a Prescription for Retin-A. This is amazing. It doesn't not dry my skin out, its easy to apply, and just after a week, my skin changed completely. It also contains Vitamin C and E. Which is great. It has no smell. And it runs you about $65.00 (Totally worth it!) I also use it on my neck and hands. Never forget the hands. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't stand the cakey look, or when people pile on their cover-up and foundation. This is my go-to everyday cover-up, if I wear coverup that day. (Sometimes its good to let your skin breathe). It goes on like a liquid and dries like a powder. I have tried EVERYTHING and this just works for me. I don''t think it looks nice when someone looks like they are wearing makeup. Its a trend: Use a primer, use foundation, use a cover-up, Conceal, highlight, contouring. I'm sorry, its not for me. I can't get into it. I'll write another blog about this later on. But this Chanel compact works great. It's light and thin. I don't feel or look like I'm wearing so much make up. And Guess what? When you take care of your skin, you won't need a lot of make up. This compact is about $60.00 and lasts me about 4-5 months. </span></div>

Who doesn't love to shop? I used to be very careless with my shopping habits. I would buy anything and everything, just because it was on sale or just because I really had to have it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">My end result? Having lots of clothes with the tags still attached, that just piled up in my closet and took up space. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Lately, I've actually taken my shopping habits very seriously, and I only buy things I must absolutely have and know I will wear. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Here are some great points I factor in before I buy anything and I find they really help me when I'm deciding on am going to buy. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">TRY IT ON</b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">. Every body type is different, so when you're shopping for a blazer, for example, it's very very important to try it on. Clothing looks completely different on the hanger. You want to make sure the clothes fit your body type, and you feel comfortable and sexy in everything you wear. If you're not "Emotionally" attached to a piece, what's the point? You have to feel good in everything you wear. Style is Attitude.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">TAKE RISKS and STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE</b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">. If there is something you think you would never wear, or you think might not look good on you, try it on before you rule things out. Never say never because things can surprise you. Here's an experience I had recently… Crop tops drive me a bit crazy. My body isn't where it needs to be to even try and pull them off, and to be honest, I don't like showing my stomach, unless I'm at the beach. I recently went into Zara, and of course, every other hanger displayed a crop-top. I decided to step out of my comfort zone, and try on a light gray sleeveless one. I paired it with a pencil skirt, and it actually looked really cute on. My stomach was not showing because the skirt was high-wasted. I ended up buying it, and honestly, I can't wait to wear it out. So don't rule things out just because you have your mind made up on a certain "style" or certain "piece". Who knew this yellow-and-orange-looking-Halloween-blazer-with-gold-fringe-coming-off-the-sleeves </span></span><i style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">actually</i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> looks insanely fabulous on you?"

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">DO YOUR RESEARCH.</b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> Go to outlets, find coupons online, wait for sales. These are the words I live by. There have been so many times I have walked into a store during a sale, or have gone to an outlet, and bought a blazer or a pair of jeans for pennies on the dollar. Looking good makes you feel good and looking good should not cost you a lot. So when you get that "$500 Alexander Wang Classic Grey Blazer" for $80, you'll thank me later.</span></span><br />

These places are great for getting trendy pieces that you will wear five or six times and that's it (well maybe 7 or 8 times). But when it comes to buying classic pieces that will </span><i style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Grow With You, </i><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">like a blazer or a nice handbag or shoes, focus on buying pieces that have quality and will last you for years.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">QUESTION YOUR LOVE. </b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">There are so many times I have walked into a store and bought something because I "liked" it and the price was good and said to myself, "What the heck? Who doesn't need another pair of denim jeans or another black shirt?" Not a good idea - because that shirt or those jeans have either been donated or, are still hanging out in my closet with the tags on just waiting to be worn. As I mentioned above, you have to be "Emotionally" attached to a piece. Ask yourself, "Are you in love with it?" "Is it something you can't live without?" "Is it something you have to have or will you die if you don't get it?" (The last question might have been a bit dramatic, but you catch my drift?) Question your love and get emotional, because you don't want to buy things for the sake of buying them. What's the point of buying something if you're not going to enjoy it?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">ACCESSORIZE, PERIOD.</b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> Accessories are a crucial part of my life. It sets the tone for your outfit and pulls your look together. It's the ying to your yang. It's the cream in your coffee. It's the butter on your popcorn. It's the turkey on Thanksgiving day. It's not just the cherry on top, its the whipped cream and sprinkles too. And the caramel and chocolate syrup. I think you get my point. It's so important to accessorize and to do it right. By doing it right, we mean not to "overdo it". For example, if you're wearing a statement necklace, go easy on everything else. You want the necklace to pull your look together. On the other hand, If you're wearing a statement necklace and throw on big earrings and wear lots of bracelets, and add a big cocktail ring, you've "distracted" your look. The focus is lost and there's no more "attention to detail", its "attention overkill". It's the attention you don't want. Remember to put some thought into the accessories that go into each outfit, because if you don't, the next time you'll be ordering some popcorn with your butter. Now who wants that?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">EVERYONE is different and everyone's style is different. Do what works for you and feel good in what you will wear. Confidence equals style and Confidence is the best accessory. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trying to pose for the camera. :) Silver-plated hoops by Trendy Mendy. Light weight and so comfortable. Sunglasses by Chanel (again, one of my favorite pairs). Another alternate to the sunglasses is Ray Ban, its the same shape, and less expensive. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't know if this picture is clear enough, but I was trying to show the detail of the hoops, that work great for me. I can't wear heaving earrings without the weight of the earrings pulling on my ear lobes. I have that problem, and find it to be very uncomfortable. I love these (aside from the fact that they are silver plated) because they are light and don't pull my earlobes down. </span></div>

They are 9.95 and today I rolled them up to give them a cropped look. The shirt is also from H&M and it was only 5.00. This jacket from Zara purchased at their sale, for 20.00 (man do I love a great deal).</span></div>

Jewelry makes me happy. Jewelry puts a smile on my face and I own tons of fabulous stuff. From statement pieces, to thin and delicate chains and bracelets. Recently, I've been finding myself in a bit of a bind when it comes to organizing my statement necklaces. I've tried many different things to get organized and have spent a pretty penny doing so. The end result? Not for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Jewelry Trays</u>: The problem? My necklaces don't fit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Hanging Bag/Travel Bag</u>: And then there is the body bag. Yes, I said it. That clear plastic thing you hang in your closet. The idea of it seemed great at first, but having to bundle up the large pieces to fit in the slots, did not work. My pieces would get tangled (sometimes even break) and I would have to find a place in my closet where it wouldn't get smushed between my clothes. This just didn't work for me. Even though this is great for traveling.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My solution, you ask?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tend to be a very organized person, and like to take on a challenge. Here's what I came up with:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CHALLENGE</span></b></u></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To find a clever and inexpensive way to organize my jewelry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BUDGET</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Given that this was a challenge and the title of my blog post is "Inexpensive ways to Organize Your Jewelry", I set my budget to $20.00. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SHOPPING LIST</span></b></u></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) A cork board</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought two from target for $7 each. They are 18x22 inches. Sure enough, you can find them online for less; in different sizes and colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Push pins </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again, purchased from Target. 100 pins set me back $2.19.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Ribbon</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bought from the Dollar store. Man do I love a good Dollar store. I got two different colors to use to hold some of the jewelry and to decorate/personalize my board.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Due to my lack of space, I really needed to fit as many necklaces as I could onto a board, and this is what I ended up with. Doesn't look as pretty, but its very practical. I can actually see what I have, Try it on when I want, and put it away when I'm done. I've been using this "method" for two weeks now, and it has worked out great (for me)! I've had it on my counter, leaned up against the wall. (If only I can get my husband to hang it on the wall…)</span></div>

I think there is something so chic when pairing a classic blazer with a pair of skinny jeans. I was in the mood for that chicness today. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's what I'm wearing:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, my shirt and jeans are from H&M. The shirt was $5 and the jeans were $10. I fell in love with the color and the fit of the jeans. Jeans don't really fit me so great from H&M ( I wish they did because they are so affordable), but I ended up trying these babies on and fell in love. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My jewelry, when it comes to work, has to be minimal. I type a lot and I am on the computer all day. So thin necklaces, small studs and rings work out great for me. Or even one nice statement necklace. I can't really pile on the bracelets (and I love a great bracelet stack), because I then have to take them off when I am typing. Not to mention, they make tons of noise. Remember, you never want to overdo the accessories. If you are going to make a statement with one piece, keep everything else minimal and toned down, so that piece stands out. </span></div>

Especially if it was on sale.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ohh, the shoes are an extra 50%, let me get them in every color please!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would be that girl that had 20 pairs of black pumps from Aldo that looked exactly alike. Things would just start to pile up in my closet, and I wouldn't wear half the things in my closet. I started to feel very guilty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With that said, I love clothes and shoes and I ESPECIALLY love accessories. And I love them even more when they are on sale. I am a bargain hunter. My friends and family are always shocked at the deals I get on name brand things. But that doesn't mean there aren't those "few" essentials that I will pay regular price for. Especially if it is going to be something you will wear all the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is what I call "Investment" Shopping and Closet Essentials. It's things I feel that every girl needs to have and possibly splurge on. Possibly. When I say Investment, make sure you stick to a budget and what you can afford. My budget may allow me to spend $400 on a classic blazer. Maybe your budget allows you to spend $80. Maybe someone else can spend $2000. Stick to what you can afford. I never used to do that. I was the young, naive girl who was opening department store credit cards and spending money like crazy. Money I didn't have. That is because I felt like I had to impress people. Now, I am only in the business of impressing myself and that is it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something I find really helpful, fun, and motivating is to save up for something I really want. All you need is a Mason Jar and a label. If it's a pair of shoes that are $300, I write on the label, "Shoe Fund" and leave it on my kitchen counter. Throw a $1 in it, maybe $5 every now and then, and before you know it, you've saved up for that item. And sometimes, your mind changes and you want something else or need the money for something else. At least you have the $300 sitting there.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Essential Investment # 1: Jeans</span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I used to walk into Bloomingdales and buy a pair of $200 Seven jeans. What a mistake. Don't get me wrong, I love great quality and I feel like jeans need to fit you right. People get emotional about their jeans. I know I do, and they have to fit me right and I have to feel good in them, and if that $200 pair is "the one", then I am going to get it. But, If you have the patience to look through lots of racks, like I do, stores like Nordstrom Rack, Saks Outlet, and Lohemans have all the Major name brands for 1/3 the price. I've gotten some of my favorite jeans for $40-$50. Recently I've been really loving Lucky Brand and Zara. They fit me great, and are very comfortable and stylish. Here are some of my Favorites:</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is something about owning a nice jacket or blazer. It makes an outfit look chic. Lately, I've had an incredible amount of luck snagging up some pretty amazing pieces. A really nice jacket or blazer will run you around $500. Zara has great ones that range from $50-$120. But if you practice patience and are diligent enough, you can find great deals on classic pieces. Here of some of my recent findings. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one was a rare find. I was visiting my family in FL for Thanksgiving and went to Sawgrass Mills Mall. I happened to walk into the Burberry Outlet, because their rain boots caught my eye. I noticed they had a clearance section labeled : 70% off clearance. Needless to say, this $900 dollar jacket, that they STILL sell in Bloomingdales, cost me $70. I've had it for 3 years now and constantly get compliments on it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My philosophy on handbags has always been this: I would prefer to have ONE really nice purse then twenty bags I got on sale and rarely wear. When I say really nice, Zara has great leather bags for $100. Marc Jacobs has affordable pieces. Not everyone can wear Louis Vuitton or Chanel. Catch Saks Outlet when they have a sale, you can find great deals. My sister got an adorable Black Mark Jacobs Leather bag for $50, originally $400. There are many great options, you just have to find whats right for you. I used to buy a lot of bags from H&M and Forever 21. Honestly, I would wear them a couple of times and they would rip or tear on me. If I could add up the $$$ I spent on these bags, $20 here, $30 there, I could have spent that money on a nice piece instead. With that said, that DOES NOT mean you can't buy Designer bags on sale. Here are some of the deals.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love shoes. Especially classic pairs. BLACK AND NUDE pumps are staples. There is something so sexy about a black patent leather pump or a nude peep toe shoe. As I stated in the beginning of my blog, I would literally buy 100 pairs of shoes on sale, and never wear them. Now, I own 3-4 nice pairs of black pumps and that is it. $40 here, $80 there, $20 here. It adds up, and instead of owning so many pairs, I have 3 nice pairs of black designer pumps. This works for me. I wear these shoes left and right. I don't feel guilty, because I really get great use out of them. Recently, I donated 60+ pairs of shoes that were sitting in my closet, worn maybe once, or not at all. I really felt guilty about it. And again, you can get amazing deals on Designer shoes like Mahnolo, Jimmy Choo, Prada, etc. Neiman Marcus, Saks outlet, and Nordstrom Rack all sell these brands. Some of my personal favorites that I own. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It doesn't not matter what you wear and how much money you spend, if you lack confidence and self-esteem, it all becomes pointless. Be confident in who you are. Love yourself. Be humble (PLEASE). Feel good from within. Be grateful for everything you have and don't have, because at the end of the day, that is what counts. Impress yourself, not others. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What's Fashion and Style really about? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not what you wear or or the clothes you pick out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's not the amount of makeup you wear,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or the way you color and style your hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's not about the brands you buy,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">or How you dress to impress "that guy". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its not what they write in these magazines,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That say "Wear this and that to feel like a Queen".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its not about the latest nail trend,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or what to buy and how much you spend</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its not about the "new colors for fall"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or the heels you wear that make you feel tall</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because Honey, that is not fashion at all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll tell you what I think fashion is,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fashion is what you feel from within.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fashion is YOUR confidence and Attitude.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being grateful and showing your gratitude. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Boost your confidence. Have positive thoughts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think style is my attitude, not what I just bought. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So When you wake up to start your day, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look in the mirror, get ready to say:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hey they beautiful, you're looking real fine."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Fizzy hair, no makeup and the crust on your eyes."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You're one sexy lady and so fabulous girl."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take a good look at yourself and do a few twirls. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So stop putting yourself down all the time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have tons of confidence and empower your mind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then what you wear will only reflect,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The important things you tend to neglect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think positive. Be Confident. Eliminate your blues.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You wear your clothes, they're not wearing you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Always remember, there is no expiration date when it comes to confidence.... and confidence NEVER goes out of style. How up-to-date are you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rock it, Rock it Right, and Stay Fabulous</span></div>

Still shocks me. (<a href="http://www.luckybrand.com/">www.LuckyBrand.com</a>)</span><br />

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's blog is one I have been meaning to write for a while now. I feel that in life, people "Assume" to many things. As I have mentioned before, I have a true love for fashion, my style is all of the above, from chic to classy to trendy and safe. I love name brands and for me to list the ones I love, would take forever. With that said, I am also the girl who walks into Walmart or Target, and acts as if I am walking into Bloomingdales. I try on all the clothes and flaunt and wear my $10 Walmart top as much as I will flaunt and wear my $248 Joie top. Today my focus and thoughts fall on comparing high end retailers to the "affordable" ones like Forever 21 or H&M.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I often get asked by people where I got my top from, or shorts or shoes. I'll mention Bloomingdales or Saks or Neimans, and the reaction is funny. People look disappointed. I assume the first thought that runs through their head is "oh, I can't afford that." Or, "that must have been expensive." Or, "she must have paid an arm and a leg and a kidney for that". </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not true. At all. Let me bring a few things to your attention. There is nothing that gives me more of a high than to buy something on sale. <u>Especially</u> name brand things. Knowing I got something for pennies on the dollar, lets just say, brings me JOY! With that said, I am not saying EVERYTHING I always buy is on sale. There are many times I spend $200 on a top or $400 on a dress because I can afford to. If I can avoid that, and get things on sale, I will. Always remember to stick to what you can afford. Impress yourself before you try to impress others. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to be a hard core Forever 21 shop-a-holic back in the day, when they weren't as big as they are now. The quality of their clothes was great and their prices were amazing. I still own pieces in my closet from Forever 21 that I bought over ten years ago and I still wear and flaunt today. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As of now, if you ask me, I am not a big fan of theirs. I can't seem to understand why people are either. I feel like the quality of their clothes has gone down big time, and their prices have inflated, tremendously. Back then, I would walk into Forever 21, pick up 7 or 8 pieces and my total would be less than an hundred dollars. Now you walk in, pick up 2-3 pieces and your total is almost a hundred dollars. How is that such a bargain? Why would I spend that kind of money in forever 21? Why would I spend that, when I can walk into Bloomingdales on any given day (granted they have a sale going on) and get two high end, high-quality name brand pieces for the same price, if not less? </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this is where I get to the Bloomingdales part of my blog (or any other high-end retailer for that matter). One of my favorite retailers is Bloomingdales. (I can never get enough of the place, I shop there so much, they may as well hire me to work there or pay me to advertise for them.)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People ASSUME its sooooo expensive and not affordable, they stay away from places like Bloomies and go through life never knowing what they are really missing out on. Seriously. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They ALWAYS have sales. Where merchandise is marked down, and then you get an additional fifty percent off of that price. And I have this loyalist card with them (which not all retailers do), where every time you shop, you get points. 5000 points gets you a $25 gift card and they have promotions where you can get 2500 points per $100 you spend. Believe me, these points add up, and before you know it, you have $25 gift cards to use there. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now lets talk about Saks, Neimans and Nordstroms. All of these retailers have outlet stores. Saks has Off Fifth, Neimans has Last Call and Nordstrom has The Rack. All of which are amazing and special in their own way. They end up having major sales, which makes for even more of a bargain. I have had most of my luck at Saks Off Fifth. Other places are TJ Max, which sell so many name brands, or Loehmans, which has great sales. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not telling you this because I want you to drop everything you're doing and go live at Bloomingdales. I just want to open peoples eyes to the misconception that Forever 21 is the only place to shop to get things at cheap prices. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash forever 21. It's great for very trendy pieces that you want to rock and wear a few times and donate. Or simple tank tops and shirts you want to buy for $10. But the way I look at things, is if I can spend $10 more and get something that has a much better quality, why wouldn't I do that? </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The point of this blog is not to tell you to stop shopping at forever 21, but to show you that you can be a smart shopper and find awesome deals at high end retailers as well. My next post will be pictures of some of the bargains I snatched up recently. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of the day, the MOST important thing is how you feel from within. Because if you don't feel good from the inside, chances are you won't look good on the outside. </div>

How you feel from Within...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
I decided to write about something that's important to me and something I've been thinking about a lot, especially lately. Fashion, Style, and what's really trendy.<br />
<br />
Let me start off by saying... I love clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, hair products, make-up, etc... You name it, Im obsessed. I can spend hours in Bloomingdales and Target going through racks of clothes, buying make-up and anti-aging face moisturizers, trying on clothes, shoes, hats, belts, and scarves. Fashion is something that I truly love among many things in life. I've been this way since I was 12. At the age of 16, I had every credit card you could possibly imagine: Saks, Neimans, Macy's, Target, Gap, Banana Republic, etc. I don't see anything wrong with that. (By "that" I mean my love for fashion, the credit card thing was a small problem). I mean, guys have their cars and sports Victoria Secrets catalogs, right? I'm the first one that will post pictures on my Facebook or Instagram and tweet about the shoes I want to buy, or the $250 silk Joie Shirt I just bought, which, by the way, is soooo cute.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It seems that every time I go out in Los Angeles, Beautiful people surround me left and right. Girls and Guys are dressed to the T. The girls are wearing the cutest dresses, super fabulous Trendy Mendy jewelry, the famous Red-Bottom Christian Louboutins and Chanel bags. I'm thinking this is one sexy group of girls out here in Los Angeles, including myself of course. Holla. Everyone dances and lets lose, as some are doing the famous fist pump to the beat of the music....Boom! Boom! Boom! Sounds like fun, right? And then it happens to me, every time. Especially recently. I start to analyze my surroundings and really start to look at these girls. I mean really look at them. I don't see what I initially think I'm seeing. I think every one of those girls is cute. They are all dressed cute. They all have on the latest fashion trends. Makeup done. Hair done. But that was not the reality of it. They actually look unattractive. And I'll tell you why. They seemed to be obsessing over their lip gloss, and if their hair was flipped in the right direction, or if they had enough blush on their cheeks. They made sure to sit or stand in a way that their stomachs would look flat and their legs would look thin. They constantly asked each other how they looked and if they needed to add more makeup or not. I'm thinking, it's a night out, I get to get dressed up, goto a hot new cub, get some dancing out of my system... Not really the case. I then proceeded to go to the restroom, which was a whole different world. It was a ZOO of girls constantly trying to "fix" themselves.<br />

It actually saddened me. Because each and everyone of these girls was beautiful. They were dressed really cute and they were very trendy and fashionable. What was making them unattractive was their lack of confidence. They had absolutely no confidence. And even if they did, they definitely didn't show it.<br />
<br />
That is what this blog is about. It's about your Confidence and Attitude in life. Something I feel very strongly about.<br />
<br />
I was blessed to have amazing parents who ALAWYS taught me how to be confident in life. How to always feel good from within. It DOES NOT matter what you wear, how "fashionable" you are, how much your shoes cost.... If at the end of the day, you don't feel good from within, you DO NOT look good. Fashion for me STARTS with the confidence one has. That is the first step.<br />
<br />
I wanted to let you in on one of my daily routines, that may sound SILLY at first, but I promise you, try it, and you will see a huge difference in your life. Two steps that will take you only a couple of minutes in the morning.<br />
<br />
<b>STEP ONE - GRATITUDE IS THE BEST ATTITUDE</b>: Every morning when I wake up, I thank God for everything I have and don't have in my life. I feel blessed everyday. When you start to show more gratitude, you feel more positive throughout you day. And that in turn, that rubs off on others, and before you know it, we're all living in one big bundle of happiness and gratitude. Gratitude is the best Attitude.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>STEP TWO- MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL</b>: After, your moment of gratitude... look at yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself how beautiful you are. Look at yourself, and see your beauty. Say it out loud. "Wow, I am beautiful. I am one sexy beast." Do a few twirls. And say it again.You will probably laugh a few times because this seems so silly, but I promise you it works. We ALL have confidence issues. Oh, my nose is too big, I need to lose weight, I have big feet, my ears are ugly, blah blah, blah, blah, blah! Stop with it already. Feel good with who you are from the inside, and your outlook will completely change. There is nothing wrong with trying to better yourself, or take care of yourself, or to try to get fit and healthy. But knocking yourself down accomplishes nothing. Feel good with who you are from the inside, and let that be the motivation for a HEALTHY change. Once you build yourself up from within, then the trendy clothes and jewelry and fabulous ombre color you are rocking will truly begin to shine. You're fabulous, and you know it.<br />

Here is a poem I wrote to always keep your confidence pumped! And yes, I wrote EVERY word to this poem - as I always used to win poetry competitions in elementary and junior high:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Trendy Mendy's Confidence Rap</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's Fashion and Style really about? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not what you wear or or the clothes you pick out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not the amount of makeup you wear,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or the way you color and style your hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not about the brands you buy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or How you dress to impress "that guy". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its not what they write in these magazines,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That say "Wear this and that to feel like a Queen".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its not about the latest nail trend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or what to buy and how much you spend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its not about the "new colors for fall"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or the heels you wear that make you feel tall</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because Honey, that is not fashion at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll tell you what I think fashion is,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fashion is what you feel from within.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fashion is YOUR confidence and Attitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being grateful and showing your gratitude. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boost your confidence. Have positive thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think style is my attitude, not what I just bought. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So When you wake up to start your day, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look in the mirror, get ready to say:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Hey they beautiful, you're looking real fine."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Fizzy hair, no makeup and the crust on your eyes."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"You're one sexy lady and so fabulous girl."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a good look at yourself and do a few twirls. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So stop putting yourself down all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have tons of confidence and empower your mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then what you wear will only reflect,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The important things you tend to neglect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think positive. Be Confident. Eliminate your blues.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You wear your clothes, they're not wearing you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always remember, there is no expiration date when it comes to confidence.... and confidence NEVER goes out of style. How up-to-date are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rock it, Rock it Right, and Stay Fabulous</div>

We all love the song "cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake.... ooh baby i like it..." you know the rest. Rhianna is my girl. But come on, I don't think she means that we should look like "cake cake cake cake cake cake.." Whether its piling on the coverup and foundation... fakes lashes, hot pink blush, blue eyeshadow... whatever it is, the best way to look during the day should be natural. You can wear your make-up, look fabulous, and feel good in it as well (without looking like a clown).<br />
<br />
Here are truly some of my favorite make-up products that I like to use everyday. They're simple, easy to use, and make such a difference on your face. Follow these quick and easy steps and you will be looking fabulous in minutes (the entire process should take you ten minutes or less).<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1: Apply your "Foundation"</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do not like to wear thick cover-up's or foundation to work or during the day for that matter. I may not be a doctor, but I don't think its good for your skin and ends up looking sloppy. Picture this... foundation residue on your cell phone, on the office phone, dripping off of your cheek. Yuck. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me, my go-to everyday product is the infamous BB cream. I've tried many out there, and my biggest issue is that 'after-smell' it leaves on your face. You wear some of them, and they end up having a weird smell that doesn't feel refreshing. I like the Garnier BB cream (which runs you anywhere from $10-$14 dollars). It works well and if you're on a budget, this is the one to go with. I must say, hands down, my absolute favorite is the Dior BB cream. It's insane. I am very picky with my make-up and face products. I have very sensitive skin and very dry skin. I've tried every product in Walgreens and in in Neimans and Saks. It costs $45, but is definitely worth every penny. (I've gotten 8 people converted to it and counting - yes, I've started a "Dior-BB-Cream-Cult). It makes your skin feel soft and moisturized. It covers up any imperfections you may have without making your skin look "cakey". You won't feel like you have anything on. Best of all its quick and easy to apply. (Garnier BB cream is available at <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/">www.Walgreens.com</a> or any local drug store and the Dior BB cream is available at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/">www.sephora.com</a> or most major department stores). </div>

Step 2: Eye Prep</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The magic wands shown above are my crack and cocaine in life. I'm persian. If you're persian or know a persian girl, you know that we have an obsession with our eye-brows. Yea, I said it. If you (my fellow persians) want to act like you don't know what I'm talking about, then you're in denial. I don't have the typical thick persian eye-brows I was supposed to have. Which happen to be very desired. Instead my eyebrows are actually thin and I have a little patch of hair missing on the top of my right eyebrow. Leaving me no choice but to color it in. Oh the problems we have to deal with in life. I cannot stand eyebrow pencils because 99.9% of people (including myself) do not know how to use them. Pencils make your eyebrows look clown-like and tend to make you fill in the wrong shape. Not cool. "Unless your a pro, ditch the pencils and just let go."(Don't know why I had to put a little Rhyme in there) Before the Anastasia brow pen was invented, I used to fill my brows in with mac eyeshadow... which I still do at times. But this brow pen, which comes in two colors, is the bomb! It goes on wet, but dries like a powder. Your eyebrows become filled in and yet don't have that fake, drawn in look. It literally takes seconds to draw them in and if your going out at night and want to go thicker, you can use this pen to outline your brows and fill your brows in with eyeshadow. So goto Sephora and try it out! The Benefit High Brow pen is a must. Its crayon like, and you apply it like eyeshadow under your brows. Use your fingers to blend it in, and it instantly opens up your eyes, makes them look fresh, and makes them pop. I also like to use it on the inside corner of my eyes. It makes your eyes look bigger, and adds exactly what you need without having to sit there and spend your time putting eyeshadow on. Both are available at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/">www.Sephora.com</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3: Eyeliner and Mascara</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have sensitive eyes. Sensitive skin, sensitive eyes, sensitive sally. Even if you don't have sensitive eyes, the Chanel eyeliner (for the inside your eyes) is the best eyeliner on the Market. Name a brand, and I have tried it. Over 50 plus eyeliners. When drawing liner inside your eyes, 90% of them tend to bleed down, making your eyes look smudgy and messy (as if you've just gotten into a fight with your man, and you've been crying like crazy). This particular liner does not do that. It will cost you $27 dollars. I figure its not bad considering most of the drug store ones are more than half its size, and cost you around $8. It comes with a sharpener and its pretty long, so it will last you quite a while. They have lots of fun colors to choose from, my favorite ones are Marine (which has a nice blueness to it) and Noir (which is jet black). The Collasal volume mascara is my favorite mascara. It will cost you $7 (maybe less) and works wonders. I've been using it for years, and get compliments all the time on how my lashes look long and thick. And my lashes are not long or thick. Great mascara and great price. I get my Chanel liner from <a href="http://www.bloomingdales.com/">www.Bloomingdales.com</a> (which has a great rewards program, where you can earn triple points on your makeup purchases) and the mascara from <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/">www.walgreens.com</a> or any local drug store. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4: Finish you look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love all mac eyeshadows and blushes. They're great, affordable, and in my opinion, last you a good amount of time. (Not to mention, make sure you save their containers and recycle them at the actual store. For every 6 containers you bring to them, you can chose a FREE eyeshadow, a FREE lipstick or a FREE lipgloss). A great blush color that looks amazing on ALL skin colors is Gingerly. One of my faves! Lightly brush it on for a natural look, and add a little more for some drama. The soleil tan de Chanel, is a skin highlighter. It's one of my recent purchases, and I absolutely adore it. I dab some on my cheek bones and it instantly highlights my face. Sometimes, I use it as my blush for a more natural look. Last, add some color to your pout with the Tarte matte lipstick. I like this particular one because, I can put a nude gloss base on my lips, and top it off with this, and it adds a touch of color. Or, You can wear this from the beginning for some red stamens lips. Its very versatile. (I get my Mac and Chanel products form <a href="http://www.bloomingdales.com/">www.bloomingdales.com</a> and the Tarte lipstick from <a href="http://www.sephora.com/">www.sephora.com</a>)</div>

The birds begin to chant and chirp. There is a beautiful breeze that flows through the trees and makes them dance. The flowers have bloomed and the sun begins to rise. We feel so peaceful and serene. And then we hear it: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP as you keep hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock over and over again. All your thinking about at this point is to shoo those birds away and close the blinds! It's a beautiful Monday morning.... and oh how we dread this day. </div>

We've become work-a-robots and have fallen into this routine of having to wake up early, figure out what to wear, to avoid as much traffic as possible to get there on time, to make sure we take an hour lunch break on time, leave work, and again, avoid some more traffic on our way home. We do this five times a week, and by the time Friday rolls around, we count every last minute for the clock to hit 5:00 pm (for some reason this feels like eternity), and its weekend time! Then, without even realizing it, the time somehow flies us by, its Monday morning and we repeat this process over again! (Big Sigh)<br />

We do what we have to do to stay on top of our hectic schedules and survive in this chaotic world, period. So today my focus fall on not just doing what we have to do to "survive", but to look and feel fabulous as we're doing it. Lets face it, if we aren't looking and feeling good throughout the day, especially at work, we end up feeling very "Blah". And who has time that? Not me... Here are some of my fashion "to-do's" and "to-denfintely-don'ts" when it comes to looking and feeling fabulous (and appropriate) at work! </div>

<b>AN "A" FOR EFFORT AND AN "A" FOR ATTITUDE. </b>Who says you shouldn't look and feel good at work? DO NOT wake up with the mind set that you're "just going to work", and that you're going to throw on the first thing you see in your closet", and think "oh, I'll just put some lipgloss on in the car". I'm all about taking care of yourself from the inside out. Make sure your nails are done, and your make-up is in tack. Believe it or not, it only takes minutes out of your day. Another great thing to do is to set your outfit out from the night before. Put everything together, from the clothes you're going to wear the next day, to the shoes and accessories you're going to pair with it. It will save you a ton of time in the morning and will leave you with more time to pamper your fabulous self. Trust me! This is something I've have done, continue to do, and stand behind 100%. You have to feel good in everything your wear. Feeling good REALLY sets the tone for your work day. You'll walk around with a lot more confidence. You'll feel such a positive attitude throughout the day which, in turn, will rub off on others and make your work environment fun and stress-free. Things will feel like they flow so effortlessly, and you will look and feel "gone with the wind fabulous, gone with the wind fabulous"... now twirl, twirl, and twirl fabulous. (Sing it Girl!) </div>

<b>SUZIE WORE WHAT? </b>Lets be realistic here... we all have that one person who wears her skirt just a little too short, or wears that really sheer H&M blouse with nothing on underneath. Yikes! That might be fine and dandy if we are out and about dancing the night away at the local nightclub, but its definitely not appropriate for the work place. My philosophy is to keep it simple. You want to make a statement, but not "that" kind of statement" if you catch my drift. Skirts shout be at knee-length and if you want to wear your sheer blouse, wear a camisole underneath it. Stick to your basics, Cropped pants, long dress pants, pencil skirts, button-down blouses, cardigans and super fly blazers. There are so many ways to take these "basic" pieces and wear them in a "not-so-basic" way. Here are some of my favorite pieces that are timeless, effortless and super fashionable. <br />

Your go-to blazers. I love blazers. (Check out my previous post about blazers). Definitely add the element of Chic to your outfit. Everything shown is courtesy of www.Zara.com except or the black suede blazer which is from www.helmutlang.com. I love Zara, period. But they are especially great for work wear. I think the prices are reasonable and you get great quality. If you are on a budget, H&M, forever21, and even target has great options, but might not be on key when it comes to quality. Blazers at H&M run you anywhere from $40-60, where at Zara, you pay about $70-$100. Make a budget for your work wear and stick to it. It definitely shouldn't cost you lots to look good.

<b>TIS THE SEASON! </b>With the seasons in full effect four times a year, we definitely get tempted to work what's in style at the moment. I say "Do" work the different trends the fashion world has to offer, just know when to say no and when to stop. Right now, we're in my FAVORITE time of year, Spring, where everything is so colorful, bright and happy. All we see as we walk up and down the aisles of Walgreens are bright yellow bunnies with hot pink and neon green eggs stacked on every shelf from floor to ceiling. It only makes sense that some our favorite designers and clothing stores are using these bright, vibrant colors as the focal point for their new spring collections. I love it. We all do. And there is nothing wrong with rocking some color in your wardrobe at work. Don't go overboard with the colors. Pick once piece you want to wear thats colorful and pair it with neutral colors. It adds just the right amount of "Spring" to your outfit. You end up looking very polished, fashionable, and appropriate for work. Hence my use of the term "appropriate". You never want to go "overboard" in a professional environment. Now, a night out on the town is a completely different story... You better do a double snap and sexy twirl in your new neon-yellow pumps girl. Show them whose boss. Here are some of my favorite pieces that will add just the right amount of color to your outfit and show that your "Spring Style" is in check.<br />

Pops of color to spice up your life. Remember, if you chose to wear "a piece with color", make sure the rest of your outfit is more on the neutral side. Pops of color are nice, but wearing all yellow or all pink from head to toe is a bit much. All pieces (again) are from <a href="http://www.zara.com/">www.Zara.com</a> (yea I love the Z). </div>

<b>ACCESSORIZE, PERIOD. </b>Here, at <a href="http://www.trendymendy.com/">www.TrendyMendy.com</a>, were are all about the accessories. Accessories narrate the story of your life and the looks you want to create. Accessories pull your look together. Like I said before, we are ALL ABOUT THE ACCESSORIES LIFE. But when it comes to your work, there are a few factors we would like for you to consider. Instead of wearing a ton of jewelry, DO pick one bold piece, and make that the focal point of your outfit. We love a great statement necklace or a fun cocktail ring because it can add so much character to your look. Its fun, neat, and sophisticated. DO NOT overdo it with the bracelets or dangly earrings. They can tend to look "sloppy" when you're in a professional environment, and sometimes even tend to create some unwanted to noise. You all know exactly what I'm talking about... it's the girl who is sitting in the cubicle next to you wearing 100 bangles on her hand jingling away as she types up emails and keeps flipping her hair from the left to right. You are going crazy and I know you just want to take those bangles off her hand and throw them out the window. We've all been in this situation and know it's quite sloppy. Always remember that we want to "rock our accessories" right and not "rock-out" with them at work. So stick to your one "statement" piece for a clean, polished look at work and avoid the "unwanted attention". Here are some of my favorites accessories to wear at work (From Trendy Mendy of Course):</div>

What can I say? If only I could wear a blazer everyday, I would be the happiest person ever (everyday might be a bit extreme). But, before you get the wrong idea here, let's not use the term "BLAZER" loosely. By blazer, I mean, "Classy", "Chic", "Sexy", "Fun", "Flirty", "Edgy", "Springy", and a "Throw-One-On-And-Go-Shopping-With-Your-Gals" type of Blazer. Not the Monday-Friday-8:00am-5:00pm-with-an-hour-lunch-break type of blazer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today my focus falls on how to upgrade your look with a blazer and how to wear it right. Before I do that, I would like to take some time to share our "Fashion Rules to Live By" with you. Yup, that's right folks, I'm letting you in on some top secret stuff here. This took years of hardcore training, waking up, going to the mall, spending money, dealing with traffic, opening up department store credit cards, hiding the credit cards from your parents (that takes skill), dealing with long lines, smelly fitting rooms, trying on clothes, taking them off again, getting different sizes.... (All the while, the Rocky theme song is playing in the background). I think you get my point. Just some hardcore training, mad skill and dedication. And from it came the experience. (Hahaha, lol. I'm just trying to be funny here. The Rocky song wasn't really playing).<br />
<br />
Here are some great points to factor in before your next shopping spree:<br />
<br />
<b>TRY IT ON</b>. Every body type is different, so when you're shopping for a blazer, it's very very important to try it on. Clothing looks completely different on the hanger. You want to make sure the clothes fit your body type, and you feel comfortable and sexy in everything you wear. If you're not "Emotionally" attached to a piece, what's the point? You have to feel good in everything you wear. Style is Attitude.<br />
<br />
<b>TAKE RISKS and STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE</b>. If there is something you think you would never wear, or you think might not look good on you, try it on before you rule things out. Never say never because things can surprise you. Yup, that's right... Who knew this yellow-and-orange-looking-Halloween-blazer-with-gold-fringe-coming-off-the-sleeves <i>actually</i> looks insanely fabulous on you?" Work that jacket girl. (Finger snap)<br />
<br />
<b>DO YOUR RESEARCH.</b> Go to outlets, find coupons online, wait for sales. These are the words I live by. There have been so many times I have walked into a store during a sale, or have gone to an outlet, and bought a blazer or a pair of jeans for pennies on the dollar. Looking good makes you feel good and looking good should not cost you a lot. So when you get that "$500 Alexander Wang Classic Grey Blazer" for $80, you'll thank me later.<br />
<br />
<b>SPLURGE A TAD BIT.</b> I am a huge fan of stores like Forever 21 and H&M and all of those online websites like Lulus and Modcloth, etc... These places are great for getting trendy pieces that you will wear five or six times and that's it (well maybe 7 or 8 times). But when it comes to buying classic pieces that will <i>Grow With You, </i>like a blazer, focus on buying pieces that have quality and will last you for years.<br />
<br />
<b>QUESTION YOUR LOVE. </b>There are so many times I have walked into a store and bought something because I "liked" it and the price was good and said to myself, "What the heck? Who doesn't need another pair of denim jeans or another black shirt?" Not a good idea - because that shirt or those jeans have either been donated or, are still hanging out in my closet with the tags on just waiting to be worn. As I mentioned above, you have to be "Emotionally" attached to a piece. Ask yourself, "Are you in love with it?" "Is it something you can't live without?" "Is it something you have to have or will you die if you don't get it?" (The last question might have been a bit dramatic, but you catch my drift?) Question your love and get emotional, because you don't want to buy things for the sake of buying them. What's the point of buying something if you're not going to enjoy it?<br />
<br />
<b>ACCESSORIZE, PERIOD.</b> Accessories are a crucial part of my life. It sets the tone for your outfit and pulls your look together. It's the ying to your yang. It's the cream in your coffee. It's the butter on your popcorn. It's the turkey on Thanksgiving day. It's not just the cherry on top, its the whipped cream and sprinkles too. And the caramel and chocolate syrup. I think you get my point. It's so important to accessorize and to do it right. By doing it right, we mean not to "overdo it". For example, if you're wearing a statement necklace, go easy on everything else. You want the necklace to pull your look together. On the other hand, If you're wearing a statement necklace and throw on big earrings and wear lots of bracelets, and add a big cocktail ring, you've "distracted" your look. The focus is lost and there's no more "attention to detail", its "attention overkill". It's the attention you don't want. Remember to put some thought into the accessories that go into each outfit, because if you don't, the next time you'll be ordering some popcorn with your butter. Now who wants that?<br />

Because the jacket makes a statement here, I would pair the look above with very simple jewelry. Jewelry from Trendy Mendy (<a href="http://www.trendymendy.com/">www.TrendyMendy.com</a>) from our "Classi-Gal" collection. </div>

2) Here, we took a simple black leather skirt and paired it with a red jacket and a fun spikey necklace. This outfit is perfect for the office, and absolutely adorable for a night out. The necklace paired with the leather skirt pulls this look together creating a fun, edgy look. Jacket is by Tibi (<a href="http://www.tibi.com/">www.tibi.com</a>), Skirt is by Vince (<a href="http://www.vince.com/">www.vince.com</a>), necklace is by Trendy Mendy (<a href="http://www.trendymendy.com/">www.trendymendy.com</a>) and shoes by Christian louboutin (<a href="http://us.christianlouboutin.com/us_en">http://us.christianlouboutin.com/us_en</a>). </div>

4) This is probably one of my favorite looks. Every girl needs a motorcycle jacket. Here I decided to make it a little more fun by pairing it with a racer-back dress and ankle boots. This look says so much. It's fun, its flirty, its edgy, its Rock-n-Roll. Dress and Jacket are by Helmut Lang (<a href="http://www.helmutlang.com/">www.helmutlang.com</a>) and ankle boots by Christian Louboutin (<a href="http://us.christianlouboutin.com/us_en">http://us.christianlouboutin.com/us_en</a>)</div>

Or, throw on our "Pantera" Necklace. (<a href="http://www.trendymendy.com/">www.TrendyMendy.com</a>) Remember, these are major statement pieces. They will dress your outfit up and really pull your look together. You don't really want to add anything else to it, because the necklace states so much. </div>

Don't forget to complete your look with a fun statement piece. Necklace by Trendy Mendy (<a href="http://www.trendymendy.com/">www.TrendyMendy.com</a>)</div>

It seems I've mostly paired necklaces with blazers. The reason being is when you wear a blazer, its your necklace that shows a lot more. (And the fact that I love statement pieces probably has something to do with it). Feel free to have fun and dress your look up with a big pair of earrings or some fun cocktail rings. At the end of the day, you want to feel good in what you're wearing. Because that's all that matters. </div>

They're perfect for the spring and look so chic and trendy with anything you put on. My latest purchase... (hopefully my husband doesn't see this) is a blue and white striped silk top that ties at the front....<br />

<br />
There is something about wearing an animal print top, or dress, or jacket, that just screams to me... grrrr...<br />
<br />
Remember, when wearing such a "statement" print... Keep the jewelry/accessories very simple and classy.... you want to make sure you "strut your stuff" ladies and keep it fabulous, not "destruct your stuff" and over-power your outfit. In this case "less is a lot more" and you want to make sure you keep it that way.<br />

Whether you're getting ready for work, a casual lunch, or a night out on the town, its important to pay attention to the DETAIL that goes into each outfit. It's all about the details ladies. When you're selecting what pieces of trendy jewelry to pair with your outfits, it's important to know when to stop and when to keep going. When does too much become just that.... too much? Here are some cute outfits I was piecing together with our Trendy Mendy Jewelry that can easily go from day to night... or even night to day for my vampires...<br />

Cropped jeans are by Lucky Brand (<a href="http://www.luckybrand.com/">www.Luckybrand.com</a>), white blazer is by Alice and Olivia from Kitson (<a href="http://www.shopkitson.com/">www.Shopkitson.com</a>) and the jewelry is from Trendy Mendy (Spikes brass bangles in gold and gunmettal, gold and silver plated crystal bangles, gold and silver plated bling cross ring, and classic studs with crystal detail). I would throw on a simple pair of classic pumps, and maybe wear a solid tank underneath. Top it off with a trendy pair of Tom Ford glasses, and you are good to go!</div>

Pair this outfit with a simple pair of pumps and a black blazer to rock it out. Finish the look with a simple pair of studs. Remember, when wearing a statement necklace, you don't want to go crazy with your earrings. On the other hand, if you wanted to wear a pair of statement earrings, do not wear a necklace with it. Let your earrings do the talking... and add a cute cocktail ring to finish off the look. This is such a transitional outfit. Perfect for the office in the day and for happy hour at night. Silk shirt is by fifteen-twenty from Neiman Marcus (<a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/">www.NeimanMarcus.com</a>), pencil skirt is by Zara (<a href="http://www.zara.com/">www.Zara.com</a>), sunglasses are by Tom Ford (one of my faves!) and necklace by Trendy Mendy (<a href="http://www.trendymendy.com/">www.TrendyMendy.com</a>). Here is a pair of Trendy Mendy Statement Studs in JADE to switch to if you wanted to wear the earrings instead....</div>
