Casual Fashion Look 2009 Jumpsuit, hobo bag, gladiator sandals  photo

Isn't this a cute weekend-casual look! Love this little nylon Anna sui jumpsuit romper! This romper is so versatile-it could also be dressed-up for evening. A fabulous little piece! I've paired this jumpsuit with a little Vince Camuto flat gladiator sandal. Isn't this a pretty metallic sandal. Love the mirrored toe detail! The Steven by Steve Madden large pink zip hobo works well with this casual look and the pink in the bag is picked up in the pink bangle-aren't these enamel and faux pearl bangles fabulous! Love these! And the pale pink Linda Farrow oversized sunglasses finish off the look!

Fashon Design Hot Fashion Trends Cotélac French Inspiration Spring Summer 2009











Today I'm loving Cotélac for summer fashion inspiration!


Cotélac French Fashion brand dress Photo

Cotélac French Fashion brand dress Photos




If I'm looking for fashion inspiration I always gravitate toward a French designer. The French have a way with chic! They've mastered timeless looks-looks which never seem contrived! An easy elegance the rest of us have a hard time accomplishing! Less seems to be more in French chic! Key to chic are classic good-fitting pieces with just a dash of trendy thrown in! Looks are generally more monochromatic than we're used to! Most important to creating a French chic look is confident sexiness which French women seem to exude.



Cotélac is a clothing brand by French designer Raphaelle Cavalli with over forty boutiques throughout the world. The collection can best be described as slightly vintage with a bohemian twist. Fabrics are light and airy with neutral tones dominating.

Fashion Design Wearing a Long Maxi Dress Hot Casual Summer Designer Dresses











Today I'm loving these casual summer maxi dresses!


Long maxi dresses are so hot for summer! These dresses are feminine and romantic, cool and airy, they cover a lot of sins, and a maxi dress is easy to throw on for an afternoon out! Best of all, these dresses offer an easy pulled-together look on a warm summer day! Longer-floor length and shorter-ankle length versions of the maxi are both popular. I happen to love wearing the ankle length dress. I don't like a floor-length dress dragging the ground or causing me to trip!

What to wear with a maxi? Some cool choices would be a large straw hat or a pretty head scarf tied like a headband, oversized sunglasses, large hoop or chandelier earrings, chunky summery bangles, long necklaces, pretty sandals or flip-flops, and a large straw bag!

It's going to be hot here today in California-I think I'll go throw on a cool maxi!

Nicole Miller Print Jersey Maxi Dress Photos

Wow! This dress is by Nicole Miller! Love this Nicole Miller Print Jersey Maxi Dress! Love, love, love the aqua celtic-inspired print and the black bodice!

Here's the Trina Turk Siren Dress! Love Trina Turk! Isn't this a gorgeous empire waist, silk maxi dress! Love the aqua floral print and the spaghetti straps!

Layered Piecey Hair | Hot Styles With Bangs | Short Medium & Long Hairstyles








Today's Fabulous Hot Beauty Find!

I'm loving these layered piecey hairstyles-
with bangs - for short, medium and long hair!

Bangs are the hot hairstyle trend! There are lots of ways to wear bangs depending on your hair type and hair length. Right now, I'm loving these layered, piecey slightly messy looks with bangs. A good layered cut is key to these looks. A good cut will give texture and a bit of fullness to the hair! A good hair mousse or glue worked into damp hair will hold the fullness throughout the day. For drab hair, highlights might be the answer! Highlighting is fabulous with layered cuts.

Layered Short Hair with Fringed Bangs Photo

Bangs don't have to be heavy and severe to look hot! Aren't these little short bangs cute-especialy for summer.



Layered Short Hair Styles with Bangs Photos

These heavier bangs are fringed to give them a bit of a lighter look. Love the shag haircut!



Layered Medium Hairstyles with Bangs Images

Here's another layered, fringed look but in a medium rather than a short length.



Layered Messy Hairstyles with Bangs Pics

I'm loving the piecey, messy quality of this style! I'm sure a bit of backcombing was used to achieve this sexy look. Love this!



Long Layered Hairstyles with Bangs Pictures

If you have a long face this heavier more severe bang may work for you. Long hair with bangs is so hot right now! An easy look to achieve!



Long Shaggy Hairstyles with Bangs Photo

Another look with bangs and long hair. This style has a more fringed bang and a shaggy layered look. Love this too!
