Go ahead on Girl! I wouldn't even be mad at whomever had the guts to wear this swimsuit and it looked good on them! Yes, I had the nerve to qualify the last statement. (Just because they make it in your size don't necessarily mean you can wear it!)

The Other Side Of The Knee

Let's face it, sometimes summer gets a bum wrap. Sometimes it's too hot or too many thunderstorms. Or the women are showing too much skin and men don't understand the difference between golfing shorts and regular shorts. Well I can't fix every problem that summer might bring, but I can fix the one about the women not knowing when to cover up. I guess between the feminist movement of the 1970's and now some women have forgotten that its okay to cover up when things heat up. Yes, they really do make fashionable, sexy, conservative clothes for the summer. Everyone wants to rag on clothes that extend to the other side of the knee when its 90+ degrees outside, but I find that more often those are the very things that keep me the coolest. This is one of my tricks of the trade {besides, it fits in with the why men like the librarian vs the girl with the short shorts}

Shop Your Favorite Magazine Spread

Remember those shoes that you saw in Harper's Bazaar two months ago that would have been great for that number you wore to dinner, but you searched endlessly for them to no avail? How about the time you read that spread in Vogue that saw the perfect dress to wear to your friends wedding? Well a few of my favorite online boutiques are making it a little easier to shop your favorite magazine spreads. {and big sigh of relief.... NOW} With the world housing more fashion designers than you can remember and just as many accessory designers, it can be hard to navigate your favorite articles in Vogue & NYLON in the "Where To Buy" sections just to find out that the item is sold out or was never there in the first place. Well if you have Internet access {and a working computer} that dress and those shoes just might be one mouse click away. Besides, let's face it, not all of us can sit front row at fashion week and then go back stage to chit chat with Donetella, then she send us our very own version of the runway dress a week later. {Now, if I could only get the stylists at Gossip Girl to do the same thing with their wardrobe}

Browns Fashion
{They've managed to put together these colorful spreads that look like they were ripped right from the pages of Harper's Bazaar}

Net-A-Porter
{Net-A-Porter has always been one step ahead of the game. They decided to actually produce a weekly magazine called Notes, seen above, to showcase all of the looks they have from the runway and regular RTW collections in addition to doling out latest trends and tips}

Wait A Minute!

I know I was suppose to write about something else (I'll write that tomorrow) but do you see these red shoes! Oh!, My!, Gosh! By none other than Christian Louboutin. Does the man ever rest? Forgive me if you've seen them before. This is my very first time and as usual I'm in Love! Billed as "A fabulous boudoir-inspired look from Christian Louboutin for spring. In a comfortable heel height, the "Rosazissimo" is a chic addition to your evening wardrobe." CL I AM MORE THAN IN LOVE! Oh, they are available at: Christian Louboutin, and Neiman Marcus. They come in red and black.



To satisfy my flair for the unusual or rather different I took a look at these earrings. "For a super luxe eveningwear look, you'll need little more than these exquisite, ethnic-inspired, Celestina, "Dawala Multi Hooped Earrings" and a simple LBD. Made from a vivid 14 karat yellow gold these are a statement accessory to reserve for special occasions. A truly wonderful gift idea. Earring drop measures approximately 2 inches / 6cms. For pierced ears only." Found at Net-a-Porter.





How elegant is this? With the sophistication of neutrals and the grace of draped satin jersey, this dress makes for a beautifully modern cocktail look. It reminds me of a dress I had a couple of years ago. It is simply stunning on. By La Petite Sxxxx, their "Corsage Cocktail Dress." Found it on Net-A-Porter.
