Fashion Rx: Your weekly dose of what to wear!

So the weather is getting warmer and you are looking to bear more skin, but that's not always work appropriate.  What's a girl to do?

The Cure: The short and short of it...

So I'm going to offer a suggestion and I just want you to keep an open mind.  Have you ever considered a work short? A bit longer than a short short and a bit shorter than a bermuda short and much more tailored than both, this item is totally office A-okay and incredibly versatile.  I've chosen a nautical like look with a scoop neck striped top and a fab pair of heeled sandals, but you could pair with a camisole and blazer, or a more tailored blouse, or...well the possibilities are endless. So go ahead a show some skin in a safe and stylish way!

Fantasy Fashion Becomes Reality

In 1921 a craftsman named Guccio Gucci opened his store to sell leather goods, and a legend was born. I have been oohing and ahhing Guccio's work since before I could walk, so how could I resist this simple yet sophisticated design of the Miss Bamboo Sandal ?!?  This beautiful double leather strap high heel sandal, with simple ankle strap and trademark horsebit ring buckle is just one of Gucci's many fine pieces of craftsmanship.  So what will fine Gucci craftsmanship cost you? Oh just $625.

Gucci

Just $625 she says?!? I know, I know, I haven't totally lost it, I know you can still get fine craftsmanship for much much less.  For now I will pass on the Gucci's and focus my sights on a similar Bacio61 style. Lauched in 2010, Bacio61 fuses organic elements and modern influences to create a truly special style. The Vandois sandal features a similar double leather strap heel and the price is oh so nice, at $136.

Go Wild!

For animal print! This trend has evolved and adapted to fashion throughout the ages, ever remaining classic when done right.  The fierce fashionista will stealthily stalk this trend through the boutique circuit, honing in on pieces that will be suitable to add to her wardrobe.  Once she has located the perfect piece she will pounce on her prey, snatching it up before a rival fashionista sees it.  How does she know what to choose? It's instinctual, knowing that less is more.  She may go for subtle pieces, shoes, scarves, etc.,  to accent her basic blacks and camels or her appetite might have her thirsting for something more satisfying and she chooses a dress or top that she pairs with black or red accessories depending on the mate she is trying to attract.  It's a fashionista eats fashionista world out there, wear your spots and stripes well.

New Pour la Victoire Heels

Our two new Pour la Victoire heels are truly amazing! Though a bit intimidating for those scared of 4" heels, they are amazingly comfortable!

The studded "Ange" would look awesome with skinny jeans or leggings. They are funky and sexy with some definite edge.

The more sophisticated "Ynez" is amazingly textured and will look awesome with pencil skirts and dresses. This snake embossed heel has a low mary jane strap that adds a little interest to the shoe but still allows your legs to be elongated by the 4" heel with a 1/2 " wrapped platform.

New Faryl Robin heels!

I love the construction of both of these heels! They have a ton of cushion and support but look very chic and sexy on the foot. Both are great for skirts and dresses this Spring & Summer and are the perfect addition to your wardrobe!

My new favorite shoe...

Spring is always such a tease, especially here in Baltimore. You get these amazingly sunny and warm days and then the cold and wet days like we are experiencing this week. Apparently, however, this weekend will be worth the wait!

I can't wait to wear a cute dress and these Modern Vintage heels on Saturday! They look sooo cute on and are surprisingly comfy. I wore them to my bridal shower (I was on my feet the whole time) and was totally fine. It will definitely be my go-to heel this Spring & Summer. $240

Go Green!

You just have to love this dark green Frye wedge heel! The little buckle adds a little flair to this lovely little number! It looks adorable with jeans and a sweater for a casual night out or wear them to work with khakis or brown slacks.
