From Day to Night in One Look
February 19th, 2010 · tips
It’s every working girl’s dilemma: How do you dress to look professional and presentable in the morning, and then create feminine and sexy look for that after-office dinner? Taking a single look from your morning routine to your evening nightcap can be difficult, but it’s not impossible. Pay attention to how you like to dress for the evening and how you have to dress in the morning, and you should come out fine.
Covering Up
One of the reasons why your office outfit has to look different from your night ensemble is that the mornings require you to cover up a lot more. Showing some cleavage at dinner in that chic French bistro is sexy; doing it at work is downright crass and unprofessional.
You may want to consider wearing that skin-baring evening outfit with something that will cover it up at the office. A sleeveless dress that hits a little above the knee and shows a bit of cleavage, for example, can be made appropriate for the office by adding another layer over your shoulders. Suit jackets – especially with rolled up sleeves – are perfect for the job, but a denim jacket or cardigan could be a great substitute.
Understated accessories should tone down your look just enough for the office. Go with solid color kitten heels or flats that work with the sophisticated vibe of your morning outfit. Accessories such as your bag should go with that vibe too. Opt for a big, practical tote or portfolio instead of a small purse. You can just change those out later on in the day.
Key Moves for an Easy Change
From a fashion perspective, dressing up is about standing out. With an office dress code to consider, however, dressing up in the morning should be all about fitting in with the rest of the office. That’s why you might want to plan an outfit that can be worn with both low- or non-heeled shoes for the morning and killer heels once the sun sets.
Consider a sheer ruffled top worn with skinny black slacks. While you’re still at work, do this outfit with a jacket or a cardigan and flat shoes for a look that’s chic yet still inconspicuous. Once you’re done for the day, shuck the jacket and swap your flats for a pair of killer stilettos. Not only do you get to easily assemble an evening look, but you can work comfortably in the AM to boot.
The Finishing Touch
Accessories can make or break an outfit, and they can spell the difference between business casual and ready to party. Pay attention to how each and every one of your accessories work together with the rest of your outfit.
Something as simple as adding a pair of earrings and a necklace to an outfit can instantly transform it from ’secretary’ to ’sexy’. Take a white tee or tank top, a pair of skinny black jeans, and then layer it with a cardigan for the office. After you shut your work computer down, leave out the cardigan, throw on a pair of eye-catching earrings, chunky bangles and maybe a vintage belt to get that mix of glamour with a touch of Bohemian chic.

Clothes that Make You Feel Sexy
January 29th, 2010 · tips
Being sexy is as much about how you look as it is how you feel. Even if your body isn’t exactly the kind seen in Victoria’s Secret fashion shows, the right combination of clothes can make you feel sexy – and look the part to boot! Here are some of the pieces you may want to consider buying to get you started on the path to inner and outer beauty.
The LBD
A staple of the modern, fashion-conscious woman, the little black dress is an item that every girl should have, and with good reason. Whether you’re on your way out to party or on the way to a meeting, the LBD is perfect for the job. And when it comes to sheer sex appeal, the LBD is one number that’s tough to beat.
What’s not to like about little black dresses? They’re black, which has a slimming effect on any kind of body. Also, they’re typically cut close to the body, accentuating your curves. Finally, they pair well with just about any accessory from a Salvation Army purse to one-off designer shoes – good news for your wardrobe and your bank account.
If you don’t have one yet but plan to get one soon, there are a few things to keep in mind when buying your very first LBD. First, it’s a good idea to buy a quality brand, even if it’s pricey. Better quality control almost always means that the dress itself lasts longer. Second, if the dress doesn’t fit the first time, forget about it. There are others out there, and one’s bound to fit you the way it should.
One of the best things about little black dresses is that you don’t have to show a lot of skin to look and feel sexy. Even a sheath dress that displays a wee bit of leg above the knee and a hint of cleavage is enough to earn you bombshell treatment.
Cashmere Outerwear
Believe it or not, your sense of touch plays a big role in how you – and others – perceive your body. If you’re always in contact with surfaces that feel good against the skin, you’re likely to feel better about yourself in turn. Enter the wonderful world of feel-good cashmere.
It could be a little sweater to keep you warm inside the house, or a full-on luxurious coat with braiding and detailing that came straight out of Saks Fifth Avenue. Throwing a bit of cashmere into your outfit can go a long way towards making you feel better about how you look. The fabric’s smooth, comforting texture does much of that for you.
Find one that’s somewhat form-fitted – it should ideally hug you around the waist and the shoulders to show off your curves. Getting it in a length that suits the proportion of your body only enhances its flattering effect.
Killer Heels
Every girl has to have at least a pair of killer heels in her wardrobe to wear on days when you have to bring out every ounce of confidence in you. Aside from being a symbol of status, this style staple lengthens your legs and gives you more flattering proportions.
There are no hard and fast rules about what kind of heels to get. Even the height, which can vary from two and a half to four whole inches, is based largely on preference. In fact, the only qualification should be that it makes you feel good when you finally stand in front of the mirror wearing your outfit for the day. Now there’s sexy.

How to Buy a Fashionable Valentine’s Day Gift for the Men in Your Life
January 22nd, 2010 · tips
With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, you’ll want to find something nice for the men in your life. Whether you are shopping for your boyfriend or husband, father or son, or even your best friend, it’s a good time to start looking for something they can both use and appreciate. You don’t want to give a tie or a set of handkerchiefs because you gave those last year – and besides, that’s what everyone else is giving! It’s high time that you gave a real gift, one that’s practical, memorable and fashionable all at once.
Buying him clothing
Not all pieces are made equal, at least when you’re shopping for someone else. It’s easy enough to shop for you; after all, you know your size and what you like. Shopping for your man, however, is another story.
The simplest rule of thumb to remember is that the fewer measurements to consider the easier it is to choose the piece. That’s why something like a necktie or a belt, which only come in different widths, would be easier to get than something like a suit, where many different measurements come into the equation.
In the same line of thinking, the clothing you end up buying will say something about your relationship with that person. A set of handkerchiefs, for example, is a generic gift, suggesting that you’re not very close to the guy. A pack of undershirts, however, require a very exact fit, which means that you know some pretty intimate details about the him.
A premium, high-quality shirt or tee is the ideal middle ground. It’s easy to estimate how a top would fit on a guy, and a man can never have too many t-shirts! Additionally, it doesn’t make suggestions about intimate relationships, making it a great gift for practically everyone on your list!
The factors to consider
If you’re shopping online for a man’s shirt, there are three crucial elements that you must consider. The first thing to consider is the size of the chest – this dictates how the shirt would fit and drape around his body. The most ideal situation would be to ask for his shirt size explicitly. If you don’t have access to that kind of information, though, you could try measuring a shirt he already owns and then compare that to the size chart online.
Second in important is the length. This is important because if it’s too short, he won’t wear it in the first place. Again, a specific size would be the most useful information to have when buying online. If that’s not available, you could make your own estimates based on how tall your guy is relative to you.
Last but not the least is the color of the shirt, which will most likely dictate how often he will wear your gift. More classic colors like white, black and blue are the likeliest to be worn frequently. That’s part of the reason why you’ll want to invest in quality when you’re buying for someone else; the recipient will want to wear your gift not because it’s flashy, but because it’s a timeless, durable piece that he really wants to keep.
If you buy him something that looks good and feels great, he will show his appreciation by making it a wardrobe staple. Better yet, every time he puts it on, he will remember that it came from you!
