Go green while being fashionable!

Going Green! Fashion and energy a powerful, creative, and useful combination. I found it to be interesting that fashion is doing some good for the planet. I personally think that it is a great way to save the planet. I recently read the May issue of Elle Magazine and the magazine provided an article on how designers and are using solar power in their purse designs. There was even a purse where you can charge up your cellphone and ipod! Diva's with everything that is going on in the world, especially with energy being a main concern, I thought that these fresh ideas were important to share.

Outfits for this summer Dates

Miss Fashionista Shoe Fetish Update

The last couple of months I caught some really great sales. I went on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles CA., and seen that there were some great deals. I got some cute sandals from the Coach for 23.99. I thought that was a great deal for Coach sandals.

I also got some gorgeous gray stilettos with my Shoe Dazzle account. Once again as a Fashionista I am always looking for great styles that don't hurt the wallet. Shoedazzle.com has great shoes for a great price.
These shoes have been added to my collection because they are cute, versatile, and a great price.

Going Nude/Neutral for the summer

Divas! Nude (Neutrals for some) is such a necessity in the closet! If you are looking for something refreshing, sophisticated and enticing this is a color for you.Your whole wardrobe does not have to be this color but it is one of those colors that are versatile and yet mesmerizing. It is a color that is great for the summer and can transfer over to the fall. What I like most about this color specifically with a dress or blouse is that you can get an instant glamorous outfit. The color is so rich and there are different blends of this color. You can add earth tones, and a few brights, mix some dark colors to make the nude pop out, and it is not a bad idea to go all the way nude. This color is something you can work with and stand out from the crowd. This shade of color is smooth, light, and gentle color that is perfect for the season ladies. I am going nude this summer!

To my Diva's

It has been a while Diva's but I had to handle some outside business. I hope that you got a chance to organize your closet while I was out. Organization once again is very important so you know what you have so you are not wasting money in the long run. Being stylish is also about saving money. Remember you can still look amazing without spending thousands of dollars.

Tips of the day by Miss Fahionista

In order to know what you have in the closet you need to organize it! For some it can be a weekend long task and others a couple of ours. My suggestion is to order your clothes in a categories such as: shirts, dress, jeans, and suits. If you are bad enough color code it. Take note of what you have and don't have so you are not wasting money by buying the same thing.

Tip of the day by Miss Fashionista

Before buying new bra's make sure you get your size checked. You want to make sure your bra's fit correctly. Victoria Secret measures you and if yo go to any cleaners or tailor you can get measures as well.

Miss Fashionista's 2nd step to enhancing your wardrobe

Diva's, Proportion!! Proportion!! Proportion!! That is the next step in understanding your style and upgrading your wardrobe. Everyone has a form and a portion to their body. When dressing you must match that with wearing proportionate clothing. Wearing to big of clothes just looks sloppy and when you wear clothes that are to small it looks hideous. Your clothes need to fit properly.

Do not become fascinated with the Size numbers. You may wear a size 8 in Levis jeans and then a size 6 in a Levis jeans. It is vital that when you go shopping you try on the clothes to make sure the garments fit properly. Look yourself in the mirror and see what your silhouette is:

• Long waist but short legs
• short waist but long legs
• Big busted
• Small bust
• Have a muffin top
  
• Bottom Heavy
• Short
• Tall

Some things you can look at when you hit the mall
Long waist but short legs:
Here we want to create an illusion of longer legs to balance out your sillouete. Think about purchasing some cute heels that will give you some height, belts, and jeans will also bring a taller look as well. just enough to proportion your body. There is nothing wrong with your beautiful short legs but remember proportion we don't want you to look frumpy.
Short waist and long legs
Long legs are beautiful show them off. Stay away from high waist pants and horizontal patterns. You want to buy shirts that hit the hip to elongate your waist.

Big Busted
If you are big busted be proud of your girls. Don't try to make your shape disappear. What you do want to do is focus on lengthening your torso and neck. While shopping look for collars that are narrow and look for tops that are dark colored. When looking at pants you want to look for a more of a lighter color. When shopping for skirts light colors are really for you!

Small Bust
Here if you are small bust and and small at the bottom then you are safe because you have a balance between your body parts. Now if you have little bottom heavy but you have a small bust look at some wide collars and lapels. This will gives the illusion of a bigger bust. Also don't shy away from a padded bra.

Muffin Top
Tunics! Tunics! Tunics! This draws attention away from the stomach and brings it to your neck. Cardigans and long jackets also help. Remember when I say long jackets, I mean length but it still has to fit you. You don't want to look like a frumpy Diva. When wearing a pant you want a smooth front instead of one with a pleat it adds on to the muffin tummy.

Bottom Heavy
There is nothing wrong with your curves but you don't want your curves to get all out of place. Here you want to emphasize your shoulders to take away the attention from your hips.
Dark colors work best with your silhouette. Skirts and dresses are great with your figure. Your figure actually puts a nice shape to the dress.

Short
High waist pants and skirts are your friend! Get you a nice heel. Stay away from cropped jackets.

Tall
In my search of looking for clothes for tall women I found that they are more expensive. That is okay because there are all kinds of deals out there on the internet. Wide belts and flared skirts are a great option for you.

Looking at the Diva in the Mirror

If you want a quality wardrobe that makes you feel good then you need to look in the mirror. I say this because your wardrobe represents your style and who you are. Diva's let's be real you can't be like everyone on television, in the magazines, and frankly should not want to be! Sit and think about who you are. This should bring an epiphany don't spend the time being negative, instead be positive, and understand there is nothing wrong with you being YOU!
Think outside of the box do not get trapped in these labels and boxes because You will never fit in them! You are not suppose to anyway. Jot down some notes and be honest with yourself. There are plenty of things we need to fix but we can't dwell on the negative. This experience is suppose to bring you more of an understanding of who You are and it is something you should be proud of!!! This is one of the first steps of enhancement and growth. There maybe something that You may want to alter but keep in mind that you are the Diva you are for a reason.

Go Ahead Diva Look Yourself in the Mirror and Explore Who You Are!

Cuff Sandal Analysis! Is it a hot or cold trend?

One of the hottest trends right now is the cuff sandal. I have been seeing these trendy sandals everywhere. The thing is I have seen some really cute ones and I have seen some that were not head turners at all. They have them in this cloth material, leather, on high heel sandals, and thong sandals. Though this is a trend I am not sure how long it will last because this sandal is not attractive on everyone's foot. The cloth material which I have seen in stores and on different individuals foot, I have found to look sloppy and an eye sore. I find that it may also be a little difficult to put outfits together with this shoe. I do like the cloth material cuff on the wedge sandal and heel, but with the flat sandals it is just a turn off. I have also seen the leather version of this shoe which I actually admire and I find to be stunning. I found a couple on endless.com that were fabulous. I like the way the leather cuff sandal cuffs around the ankle which gives a chic look. When you find a cuff sandal that you like a pair of skinny jeans and jean shorts is a must as well. The skinny jeans or shorts with the sandal is a great combination. I can see a party outfit or even a casual outfit with the cuff sandal. This part of the trend can carry over into the begging of fall as well.

What are some of your thoughts on this trend Divas?

Miss Fashionista's Highlights

Tanks, linen pants, and a sun hat for spring never gets old! It is comfortable and it is sassy! That is why it is my highlighted pieces for Spring! A cool color tank: White, tan, yellow, turquoise, orange, and pastels are great colors for tanks. Once again lace is a big deal this Spring/Summer so try to get a laced tank. Notice this tank from Forever 21 has lace.
A sun hat is so necessary for Spring/Summer and it is great for the beach, a lunch date, or an outdoor shopping day. I love sun hats and with linen pants and a tank it is sassy outfit that you can feel dashing, confident, and it brings out the simple diva in you. I choose white and red these are colors that will match my wardrobe for spring/summer 2010. You can have any color sun hat as long as the color scheme flows. A nice high heel sandal will make this outfit or even a wedge sandal. Linen pants are cool pieces of cloth and so are tanks. Perfect for any diva in the Spring/Summer!
