This woman, whose image I discovered at O Alfaiate Lisboeta, has really pulled together a chic look with the color yellow and ruffles, which, in my opinion, is hard to do for a mature woman (anyone over thirty). This look is all about the balance of opposites-the yin and the yang-the juxtaposition of the very light and feminine ruffled dress contrasted against the heavy, over-sized sunglasses, the dark slicked-back hair and the chunky necklace.

Mephisto Shoes Helen Comfort Support Thong Sandals Summer 2010







Today I'm loving...

the look of these supportive Mephisto Helen thong sandals!

What I love about these sandals are the fabulous reviews they've received at Zappos. Almost all of the reviewers say the Helen sandal is super comfortable! Reviewers love the arch support in these sandals-and if you need arch support you know how hard support is to find in sandals! These shoes come in a leather or nubuck upper depending on what color and finish you want. The color of the sandals pictured is called "Off White" and this sandal comes in tons of other colors-including patent. So if you find that these are what your feet need you can get a little dressier look!
You can find these Helen sandals and other Mephisto sandals at Zappos.com

Aren't these pretty sandals! These look to me like sandals I could wear with a lot of things. I love the leather flower design, the strappy look, and this color they're calling "brass."

Yes, here's fashion inspiration from Tibi's 2011 Resort Collection. Love these dress, pant, skirt & short looks for summer! It looks like orange is still going to be hot for 2011 as are high-waisted pleated pants and shorts. Dresses continue to an important wardrobe element-with print dresses being especially hot.

Benefits Makeup Matte Natural Looking Summer Bronzer in Hoola







Today I'm excited about...

Benefits Makeup Hoola-a natural looking bronzing powder!

Benefits Makeup Matte Natural Looking Summer Bronzer in Hoola  picture
If you're like me you're beginning to feel as if you need some summer makeup. Although I wear sunscreen I seem to be getting a bit of a splotchy tan-I think I need a bit of a bronzing powder to even it up. Since Benefit makes super makeup I thought I'd see what they had and I happened upon this Hoola bronzing powder. Reviewers raves have me excited about this bronzing powder-this sounds like what I'm looking for! They say that it's matte and, although it looks dark in the tray, it isn't. The report is that it's natural looking so I think I'll give it a try. I found this bronzing powder at Sephora.

Don't forget...

your Sperry Top-Siders for summer!

These Sperry Top-Siders are a staple of my summer wardrobe! Perfect with shorts-an all around practical summer shoe. Boat shoes are so in right now and Top-Siders can't be beat for fit and quality! I have these in navy right now and I'm drooling over the white which they call "ice." I've had white in the past and I loved wearing them with little white cuffed shorts. For a classic summer boat look add a navy and white striped top.
You can find these and other Sperry Top-Siders at Zappos.com.
