Flower Power (Spring ‘09)

June 21st, 2009

Spring

I am so excited about accessories this season. All my friends know that I am a big fan of floral prints. No not Chintz!!! Floral, my friends. During some of my shopping trips with clients I couldn’t help but to be drawn to the fabulous floral accessories that are filling the jewelry cases of my favorite stores. I recently just picked up the cutest crystal floral necklace for about 50 bucks at JCrew! I think I made about 3 trips to the store before I actually broke down and bought that sparkly piece of fabulousness! The great thing about this piece is that it is classic and you can add it to any outfit. The same design also comes in earrings and a cocktail ring. It took a lot out of me not to leave with the entire collection.

I also found the sweetest pink flower cocktail ring at Mimi Boutique (www.mimiboutique.com). The accessories are hot and the price points are great for your budget conscious fashionistas. You better take a peek and pick yours up today. Flower cocktail ring. These rings come in a variety of colors. I picked one up in turquoise, yellow, and coral! Yikes, somebody stop me.
Flower Hair Accessories

Flowers are also becoming quite the hair accessory this spring. I’ve seen some stylish girls sporting this luscious little trend all over the bay area. So try putting one on the next time you put on that cute little sundress or with a sexy top and some jeans! You go girl!!!! Take a look at the one my friend is wearing in this photo. It looks fabulicious and takes little effort. So if you wanna know where to get one, stop by your nearest accessories boutique.

Remember, you can create your own look with a little help from your muse!

Happy Shopping!

Welcome to Fairy Dust!

Maxi Dress from Old NavyThose of you that know me, know that I am not a wiz at the blogging thing. However, when I decided to start this business I knew that I not only wanted to help my clients develop a fashion forward look and style but I also wanted to provide them with some ongoing insight into what is hot as styles and trends evolve. The hope is to help each of you continue your fashion education whether you are building a whole new wardrobe or selectively adding pieces to your already existing repertoire.  In my bi-weekly blogs I will be highlighting the latest trends of the seasons, how to wear them, and some tips on wear to shop! I think it is critical for every fashionista to find those hidden jewel boxes in areas close to their home or better yet close to my home!!! My hope is that you will be entertained and inspired to create your own personal style with a little sprinkle of my fairy dust.  Let the magic begin!

Spring Dresses ‘09  (The Maxi Dress)

If you are a girly girl like me you will love the maxi dress which is hot for this spring! These fun dresses come in many different patterns, colors, and styles. I happened to be shopping for some t-shirts for my 5 year old niece,  when I happened upon the cutest maxi dress for only $39.50. Can you believe it? I rushed right over to the dresses as they were beckoning  me to purchase at least one.  Ok…well not really beckoning but it was close. Anyhoo…on the mannequin was this lovely floral green number with spaghetti straps that I absolutely had to have but as luck would have it, they ran out. So being the persistent one that I am, I inspected each rack carefully.  Needless to say, I didn’t find that exact dress but I did find one that I loved even more. It is this luscious hot pink and coral number that had my name written all over it. That was the best $ 39.50 I have spent in a long time. So the moral of this story ladies is that  being fashionable does not always mean spending the big bucks. You can still follow some of the trends out there without taking a toll on your wallet!  It is  all about how you wear it. Try wearing a pair of strappy sandals with it for a casual day look and a great bold pair of earrings or a cuff bracelet and clutch for the evening. This is one dress you can’t leave home without this Spring/Summer.
