SHAKE THAT SKIRT

If you ever had the privilege of being a cheerleader, the title of this post may have forced you to clap. Once a cheerleader, ALWAYS a cheerleader! Right girls?! No, this post is not about cheer, although I always find a way to work my past cheer life into just about any situation. I don't want to make some of my cheer-hating readers suffer, so I'll make this post all about SKIRTS! Skirts are everything this Spring and I couldn't be happier about it! I'm completely obsessed with Zara's entire collection!

BRIGHTEN UP

I have been obsessed with this years Spring Trends like no other! Spring is not typically my favorite season for fashion but this year is definitely hitting the mark for me. From peplum, to prints, to pastels, I'm loving it all! My favorite trend right now is BRIGHTS. Adding a pop of a bright color to your outfit is the perfect way to embrace the season. If you're having a bad day, or just not feeling up to facing the world, wear something bright and it will instantly brighten up your mood! Sounds super corny I know, I can't even believe I just typed that crap, but trust me it works. Here are a few pics to help brighten up your life!

SLIM & TRIM

This post is dedicated to all my fellas who are shopping for a new suit. You need to read this, be inspired, and let your suit style EVOLVE! Now, it's no secret that I love me a man in a suit! A well tailored suit to a man is like MAC makeup to a woman. They both trick the eye into looking past the flaws. A man in a suit is taken a little more seriously. He is confident and knows he looks good. The key to looking good in a suit is the tailoring. However, finding the perfect tailor can be a bit of a task. In order to keep your suit style fresh and not boring you need to stay on trend. The current trend is the "Slim Fit" suit. It is a contemporary twist on the average suit style. The name says is all, but it can be very discouraging for most of you. Don't let the word "SLIM" scare you away. I put two clients into them last week, against their will, and they were instantly impressed with the fit. The Slim Fit Suit is extremely flattering on almost all body types. You instantly look taller, slimmer, and well tailored. What more could you ask for out of your suit? Trust me when I say, Slim Fit Suits are where it's at! Try one on today, then call and thank me!

KINDA BAZAAR

I spent a few days in Floss Los Angeles this past week and was blessed with an unforgettable dining experience. Yes, I said BLESSED because the food and ambiance were both quite heavenly. From the stunning decor to the innovative cocktails, and of course the flavorful food, everything seemed to have been heaven sent. Every bite of food is a guaranteed party in your mouth!  The Bazaar is located inside the swanky SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. You might want to take on a different persona while dining there, I chose to be "Victoria".  Vicky is accustomed to fine dining like this, so she felt right at home. If you are ever in LA and want to experience something kinda Bazaar, head for the hills!

Seriously, thee BEST Dirty Martini I have ever had and I've had hundreds!

NIKEiD

If there's one thing I HATE to shop for and spend money on it's running shoes. I hate working out. I am not all about checking in on FB every time I hit the gym. I mean who wants to brag about that?! I don't get excited about putting on my cute little workout outfit and BMCSTYLE hat to match. I do it because I LOVE to cook and eat! In order for me to be able to eat/drink whatever my little heart desires, I MUST RUN! Lately,  I've been lacking gym motivation. I will use any excuse to get out of it. "It's too cloudy outside", "Gym is too packed with New Year Resolutioners", or my personal fav "My eyelashes hurt".

But then like a sign from GOD, I seen these beautys named Nike Free Run 2. Not quite sure what the 1's looked like, but the sequels are gorgeous. Wait. Did I just describe a running shoe as "gorgeous"??? Anyway, not only was I impressed by the actual shoe capabilities, well let's just keep it real, I was sold when I found out I could custom desing them myself! So, my little fashionistas, while we love our 6inch heels, we definitely need to step our gym shoe game up! Visit www.NIKE.com shop and customize with NIKEid! See you at gym.....in 4 weeks! (That's the estimated delivery time ;)

SUIT SUPPLY S/S 2012

I can't tell you how much I appreciate a man in a well tailored suit! It is my weakness and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Women put so much thought and energy into looking their best on a daily basis. It's refreshing to see a man who does the same. A well tailored suit can perfom miracles for any man. So, when I stumbled upon this lookbook, I nearly booked an immediate flight to NY to visit this store in person. After a few minutes, I regained my composure and decided to spend hours on their website instead. Guys you MUST visit this site NOW! www.suitsupply.com Ladies, just go on there to drool over the models ;)
