Tips for How to Wear Wide Leg Pants:

• With heels. Flats will simply never complete the look as well as heels will; the exception is if you’re carrying off a very masculine look with man-style flats.

• With a slim-fitting top to balance out the volume on the bottom half. A soft, billowing blouse can also work well but is best broken up with a waist-cinching belt.

• With utter 70s glamour: wide-leg trouser, platforms and a big floppy hat.

• Female dandy style – look to vintage icons like Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich for inspiration.

• With 40s pin-up girl flair, by pairing some wide-legged sailor pants with nautical stripes and espadrilles.

Tips on how to wear Polka Dots this Fall

• Wear traditional polka dot colors. Lime green and pink polka dots – while a cute combo for a 14-year-old – is a little overwhelming for women over 40. Opt instead for combos like navy and white, black and white, etc.

• Wear just one polka dot piece. Although designers showed head-to-toe looks, a little dot goes a long way. It's a great way to add some oomph to solid pieces.

• Try the polka dot trend in small doses. A polka dot scarf or bag is a perfect way to buy into the trend. Or try black dotted tights (tone-on-tone) for a textured look.

• Wear polka dots at home. If you're not ready to venture out in dots, try a polka dot apron (Etsy has lots) or pjs. You'll love what a fun, uplifting print this is. There are also lots of dot print pieces available now for your home decor, too. (article via Style Goes Strong)

The Wonderful World of Shapewear

Ok, Ladies. I've got some exciting news for you. ResultWear by d•Mondaine has just hit stores. A refreshing new way to think about shapewear, ResultWear is a sexy new line that is too beautiful to be kept concealed under clothes. 

"The ResultWear line, sold under the parent brand dMondaine, was created to meet the demand for beautiful shapewear that lifts, shapes, and smoothes, all without the need of a bra or underwire. The patent pending collection, available in both nude and black colors, consists of key silhouettes such as the "Marilyn", which has smoothing, contoured bands and breathable performance fabrics that firm and shape problem areas while enhancing a woman's best assets. Also available in the line is the Victoria, a sexy, sheer mesh slip that hugs the body; the Jane bra which lifts the breasts and reduces unsightly bulges; and the Stella half slip, which is just the right length for the modern girl but still lifts the butt and flattens the tummy."

Kim Kardashian wears the Victoria mesh slip in black for the 

2011 Victoria's Secret SWIM Collection Pink Carpet event.

Fergie wears the Jane bra and Stella half slip at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. 

ResultWear was designed and created by Kiana Anvaripour, who just so happens to be one of my dearest friends. The amount of dedication and energy that was put into this line is astounding. ResultWear is a true testament of Kiana's perseverance and self belief. Having tried ResultWear on for myself, I honestly can say IT WORKS!!! Kiana's attention to detail and belief that when a woman feels good, she is her most powerful, really shines through in every aspect of her garments.
