FASHIONABLE ACT OF KINDNESS

Isn't she lovely?

 And I'm happy to report she is a total sweetheart. I've put Miss *Vanessa Minnillo* at the top of my growing "nice celebrity" list. I'll be honest, I never took notice of Vanessa before, as I spent the better part of a decade in Vancouver, Canada where girls that look like her are a dime a dozen. 

Flawless skin and gorgeous hair etc etc... However, not every beautiful girl will stop and take notice of smitten 5 year old boy and make his day with a genuine little chat.  Thanks for breaking the hollywood stereotype Minnillo, showing a stranger some love is always "guilt free".

DO IT. LOVE IT.

Although there was a language barrier, there was not a style barrier between us.

 It took probably a bit too much time to explain what I wanted to do (take her picture) and why I wanted to do it (thought she looked cute). 

But, when she finally realized I was harmless (after cooing over her vintage Coach bag), she went from deadpan to "this is my good side".

DAY TO NIGHT FLORAL

  

Wondering how you can transition a fun floral spring skirt from night to day! My solution is simple...add a corset. Madonna has shown us over the last 2 decades that bustiers will forever transform ANY outfit from day to night. They can be intimidating, but even the most conservative stylistas can pull off the look. If you're not sure, just switch out the skirt for some wide leg pants and you're good to go.     

This cute Arden B. full skirt is the feature item here. Black accessories are an easy choice to match with patterns.

Arden B. Floral full skirt $26

Forever 21 tank $3.50, Aldo Gladiator $50, Payless Whitney Shopper $16.99

Forever 21 rhinestone hoops $6.80, Studded wallet $10.24, Belt $7.80 and Hookeye Corset Top $17.80

IF KIM WAS A...

 EXQUISITE HAND-CRAFTED AZTEC CALENDAR

Kim's dress is a piece of art, wowing us in a stunning array of colors. As is this beautiful Aztec calendar ($170) handcrafted by skilled artisans in Mexico.

My favorite is how the fine polished frame supports the intricate details, as do the high gloss patent platform pumps!

SAME TREND DIFFERENT BUDGET

L.A.M.B. undoubtedly wins hands down every time style wise. For me, Gwen Stefani can do no wrong in the shoe department. But Aldo and Forever 21 are a close 2nd and 3rd. No matter what you're willing to spend on the multiple buckle platform trend, you're gladiator needs will be met with all three.

L.A.M.B. 'Zan' Platform bootie $303.90, 

Forever 21 'Mistress' Buckled stiletto $29.80,

Aldo 'Geringer' $110.00

Meet Cindy. 

This lovely lady never disappoints. She has shown me the true meaning of style. Wear what you like, and invest in some quality pieces, your signature look will soon fall into place. Great custom made items like these long leather gloves will never go out of style. She also has to take many of her items to be tailored as it's hard to find the PERFECT FIT off the rack. 

I wanted to capture her on one of the most miserable weather days (torrential down-pours and gusting winds) to show you can still put your best foot forward. 

p.s. A PRADA tote doesn't hurt either. 

DO IT. LOVE IT.
