Keeping up with fashion

Loving my new Dooney & Burke bag. I love the variety of colors this style has to offer.

Since I purchased the book"Blog Inc" from Joy Deangdeelert Cho, I find myself doing more research in order to make my blogs make more sense. I'm adding more details little by little while I do add more info to my blogs. There's more books on how to create the perfect blog in which I'm in the process of purchasing. As stated in this Blog Inc book, read other peoples blogs and get ideas and nerve them with your own.

I've always been a fanatic of plaids especially to wear in the Fall and Winter. To me dark and light plaid colors really bring out the plaid designs. I always loved green, brown and red plaid colors for a skirt and top. Shown below is my plaid skirt I bought at Talbots which I consider my favorite. My turtleneck is from Macy's which cost me $10 which was a great bargain since I paid $118 for the skirt. The necklace is from jewelmint.com which to me is a perfect match.

If possible, always check for ideas on how to dress and wear certain outfits. Just because it zips or bottoms up doesn't mean it fits or looks good. You can look in fashion magazine of check with someone at a clothing store while trying them on. My personal favorite fashion ideas come from Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Allure, Vanity Fair and Essence magazines. Vogue and Elle magazines from July, Clothes from Talbots, New York & Company and Tommy Hilfiger.

I usually don't buy Eau de Toilette but this particular one has listed on my body for more than a day. But I would recommend to get a free sample of some Eau de Toilette perfumes before purchasing because it's no use of buying fragrances that don't last especially when you pay a small fortune for them.

Anytime you would like to test on what the best perfumes are, try free samples. At Nordstroms you can get free perfume samples on Saturdays. Any fragrance that last all day and if you like the smell, I would invest in buying it. Don't forget all perfumes don't work on everyone since everybody's body chemistry is different.
