My Favorite Sandal right now: Every color I'm afraid

I LOVE these sandals by Miz Mooz (Random but who cares. I am about style not brand)These have the perfect little wedge to make your legs look longer and will work beautifully with white skinny cropped jeans and a silk Maje top.  LOVE. Fair price too!!! I am ordering all 3 colors before these vanish.  These look like they dropped from a Parisian runway for $100 win win.

Le Parker Meridien, Palm Springs

I am so excited to go to Le Parker Meridien, Palm Springs! This is a Thelma and Louise sort of adventure that will involve 6 hours at the outlets, combing through every rack at Off Fifth and Last Call and then stuffing down a slice of food court pizza before we become faint at 9:00 when the outlets close their doors.  Last year we were there and saw some sweet tourists from Tokyo passed out in the food court on chairs with Gucci and Prada bags around their ankles and wrists.  They had literally shopped to a point of exhaustion and had done themselves proud.  It is not easy to sleep in a food court. Finally when we can shop no more we will retire to The Parker where we will probably gab until we can't keep our eyes open only to jump up for exercise and breakfast at Norma's which for anyone who hasn't been, you must go now. It will be hot out there but we don't care--we hope 100 degrees scares everyone else away so we can tear through the outlets and get a lounge chair by The main Parker pool. No small feat. xo

What to wear to the Greenbrier

This summer we will be on the east coast for a few weeks and one of our destinations is the Greenbrier Hotel.  This place is gorgeous and old school.  You and your children dress for dinner--no blue jeans allowed.  It is southern and gracious and I am excited to go there again this summer. It is dripping with Dorothy Draper's style. Here are some photos of the resort and what to wear. I want to look as preppy as possible!

What Flatters...What Flattens (and sometimes Fattens)

One thing that I talk to clients a lot about is what combinations are flattering and what combinations make the outfit look off.  Proportion is key.  Here are a few examples of how proportion should work:

1.  Cropped Top: High Waist 

If you are wearing a more cropped top wear a higher waisted pant, shorts or skirt.  A low waist will make you look wide and too much like one of the Kardashian's showing tummy.  

Cropped top: High Waist Lookbook

2.  Long Top-Long pants

If you are wearing a longer top or tunic do not wear it with shorts or even capri pants--it will make you legs look squatty and your hips look wide.  Pair a long top with a long slim legged pant (to the ankle or just below).  This will elongate your body and make you look slim. Think cigarette pants or skinnier jeans.

Long Top: Skinny pant Lookbook

3.  Boxy top: Tighter bottoms

If you are wearing a boxy top do not wear pleated or super baggy pants.  A boxy top belongs with a pencil skirt, straight leg jeans or slim cut cropped pants.  Remember--Big top, small bottom.

4.  When wearing a dress that needs to be belted belt at the waist--if you belt low (unless you are tiny) you are adding major bulk to your hip area.  Usually a woman's torso right below the bust to the top of the waist is the area to showcase.  Not where your hips widen.  And lose the wide, low belts.  They don't work on most people.
