Hello my friend -

 

Both tips are about accessories this month -- enjoy!

 



 

February Fashion Tip

 

Add A Touch Of Spring

 

Spring is here -- at least in the stores!  The trends for Spring 2010 encourage you to be ladylike (pastels and dresses), bold (bright whites and colorful prints)  and practical (refreshed classics and seasonless seperates).  Even if the weather may not be cooperating, adding one of Spring's key accessories now will give you a stylish start to the season.  You can choose from lucite jewelry, statement bracelets, or colorful belts, bags and shoes.  If handbags are your passion, opt for the new mini bag or a long, chain-strap bag.  Before you know it, you will be adding the clothes too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 

February Optical Illusion Tip

 

Accessories -- Made You Look!

 

Accessories are more then statement jewlery, great handbags and to-die-for shoes -- they direct the eye to your strong points and away from your not-so-strong points!  Nothing frames a beautiful face, swan-like neck or signature hairstyle like a statement necklace.  Belts can be used to balance body proportions and put your waist where ever you'd wish it to be.  Long-straped handbags take the eye vertically, thus giving the illusion of a taller, slimmer silhouette.  If looking long-legged and taller is the goal, shoes the same color as your pants will help acheive this.  The opposite is also true.  The key to success with any accessory is to keep it in proportion to your body frame. So, make them look, at what you want them to see!
