From Rebecca

 

YEA!! Spring has Sprung! 

 

   I am so glad to tell you that the blouse is back.  There are several I have found that are really cute.  Find the ones that give you a nice shape and make sure the necklines flatter your shoulders.  One thing to watch out for is how it hangs off of your chest.  They can be quite droopy - that will make your entire front look droopy. 

       Talbots $50            Raspberry Rose $198

J Crew $98            Gap $60

 

Get your floral on!  Take these in small doses and small prints.  The bigger the print - the larger it can make you....

 

 

               

        White House Black Market $158                              J Crew $198

Emily Elliott's Top 5

1.  Everyone can appreciate the beautiful prints from DVF!!  Her knit wrap-dress is a classic in any color or pattern.  Sooooo aren't we excited that Diane von Furstenberg has partnered with GapKids to create an exclusive collection due in stores March 15!  

 

2.  I have found some great denim options out there lately...My favorite for curvy gals is the Banana Republic Flare Jean $89.50 (available in petites) and if you prefer a higher waisted option PLEASE check out MOTHER Mellow Drama Flare Leg $205 (excellent for taller gals).  MOTHER is available at Tootsie's, Anthropologie and Nordstrom.

                                    

   Banana Republic  $89.50                                                                         Mother  $205

 

3.  CaBi has the best denim jacket in their Spring Collection!  I love the shape, color and PRICE! The Cuffed Up Jacket is $98.  This is a great wardrobe staple...easy to throw on for a casual look over sundresses.

 

4.  The colors are BRIGHT for Spring so if you don't want to wear it...carry it!  Great handbags at J Crew! Check out the Brompton hobo in vibrant coral $298.

 

5.  Exciting News!!!  Dillard's is now carrying one of my favorite brands....Ted Baker.  These are investment pieces $$$ so pick your patterns/cuts wisely.  March 1-15 Dillard's is offering a free Ted gift with purchase.  Nordstrom also carries this wonderful collection.

 

What you can do this month to change your look...

      

Ready to kick a bad habit?

Habits, good or bad, make you who you are. The key to a negative one is to

change and control it. Today, we are talking about the bad habit of never cleaning

your closet. Who has time to clean their closets, right? Well, a buildup of dust can

attract all kinds of different moths and not to mention unwanted creepy-crawlers.

A good practice is to haul everything out once a year, and accomplish a deep,

thorough cleaning. Sweep from the top down, starting with the ceiling. Make sure

to dust shelves, walls, and baseboards and then vacuum wall to wall. A good idea

towards protecting your clothes is to get shoulder covers. This is a great

way to shield your clothes and makes it simple to find the garment you

want. Another good routine is to store a box of baking soda in your

closet to absorb odors. With all these great new habits you will be incorporating

into your cleaning routine, your closet will be in the best shape of its life!
