WHAT SECRETS WILL THEY REVEAL THIS YEAR?

This is the show that makes us want to get our bodies into gear as part of our New Year's resolution(s). Want those abs and lean legs? They don't come naturally to most, but as my father used to tell me; wherever there is a will, there is a way. So ladies, let us ALL congregate (in the name of the VS Angels) in eating celery sticks or apples while watching the show tomorrow. For those who will miss their workout (like myself) in lieu of watching the show, don't feel guilty. Just watch the show and continue chewing those celery sticks! We too shall get there (where ever "there" may be for each of us).
With their gorgeous bodies and signature struts, who will be the feature angels of this year's infamous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? So far, a few of this year's supermodels will include 'Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Chanel Iman (my favorite) Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge, Behati Prinsloo', and other surprises (tvgrapevine.com). Tune in on Tuesday, November 30th (10-11 PM, EST, PT) for this year's secrets to be revealed!
Here is a look of my favorite past Victoria Secret supermodels and their styles:

DEALS,DEALS...AND MORE DEALS

Today marked the busiest shopping day of the year because of consumers like you and me! That's right ladies, avid shoppers like us on BLACK FRIDAY contribute to the economic flow and record profits for the nation. Some of you refuse to step into any retail outlet on BLACK FRIDAY; claiming that the day is filled with too much craziness and the risk of unsafety is too high to sacrifice one's pockets for such a short amount of time. So what do some people do on this day? Sit at home and wish for great deals like those on BLACK FRIDAY to return just before Christmas arrives. That was me for the past few years, but I decided to make a change and experience the craziness with the rest of my fashion comrades this year... disappointed, I was not!
I experienced horrible parking and congested parking lots, early morning door busters, long wait lines, and finally...the ultimate satisfaction of sacrificing my time and patience for those insatiable wants I've so longed for. In all, I would have to say that this BLACK FRIDAY (2010) was very memorable. How was yours?
Remember that BLACK FRIDAY is the beginning of the holiday season's deals. They are not over! Monday (11/29) will be Cyber Monday, so don't forget to catch the deals you missed today on line. Here are some deals to look into:
*Amazon
*Bath & Body Works: buy 3, get 3 free signature collection 11/25 thru 11/28
*LORAC: Cyber Monday collection ($100 value) for $25, 11/29 only
*And some of my favorites: Ulta, Target, NY & CO, H&M, Express, Old Navy, Victoria's Secret (great bra and panties deals for the holidays), White House Black Market, Aldo, Cathy Jean, etc.
Let us also remember our local small businesses, so your job for the rest of the holidays is to make atleast one purchase at one local boutique...I DARE YOU!
Til next time. Happy Holidays to all of you loyal followers and fashionistas!

WHAT'S YOUR LUCKY NUMBER?

Last year, it was all about the ankle booties!  Every woman should've had one in their closet. This year, in addition to the booties, it is time to invest in the knee-highs---knee-high boots that is. With a variety of styles ranging from flat-heeled motorcyclist boots to stiletto peep-toes, EVERY woman's closet should possess at least one pair. Owning a pair of knee-high boots is like having that little black dress you can pull out for any special occasion. Remember that you do not have to go with the current fad. Pick a style that represents you for who you are and not what ShoeDazzle says you should be. With that being said, what's your lucky number? My lucky number for this year is size 6.5 taupe colored peep-toe Shelby Thigh-High Boots. 'Til next time!

PLAID IS BACK!

With more varieties than ever before, it no longer has to represent the old stereotypical look we were once accustomed to---COWBOY. Plaid is back, and like other styles, can be worn in many different ways! Let's start with those plaid scarves ladies! Since winter is quickly approaching and we can no longer show off those sexy low-cut blouses, it is now time to customize those scarves as our personal jeweled necklaces.
For a more casual look, you can pair a plaid scarf with a long-sleeved tunic, jeans or spandex, and stylish flats to make the outfit pop a little; and for a semi-casual look, add a solid color pea coat  and  boots of your choice. Let's not forget that plaid scarves are not the only articles of clothing we can be creative with. There are many other options of plaid to pick from---blouses, the original button-down plaid shirts (accessorized with a belt), shirt dresses, skirts, and last but not least...pea coats. It's time to get out and get that piece of plaid that will accentuate and enhance your closet for the coming season! Til next time ladies!
