Dillard’s and Ed Hardy

July 17th // Comment Here

Many of you have been asking where you can buy Ed Hardy apparel and accessories. While I was visiting Dillard’s today, I ran across Ed Hardy handbags, not to mention apparel and Ed Hardy accessories.

To really set off these outfits, pair them with a nice pair of jeans (why not Genetic Denim), to enhance your very best asset…and top them off with a nice pair of sunglasses like the Oakley Bottlecaps.

Together, you have nearly increased your look to near perfect!

Enjoy!

Love,

Loren

Basketful of Jewels

July 11th // 5 Comments

This week, I’ve given you a number of great options to consider for the upcoming Gala. Now that we have dresses and undergarments taken care of, I figure we’d move on to jewelry.

Everyone loves sparkly things, jewelry is no exception. Often times though, we wear things that are too big or add a very different look (kind of like going with modern furniture in your home, but having an antique chair in the middle of the room). Jewelry can look great when paired with the correct dress. It does not have to be sparkly nor does it have to be gaudy.

I found two particular pieces that I felt would look great with the dresses from Saks that I mentioned earlier. What I liked most about them was their uniqueness.

The first piece is a cuff bracelet. This bracelet is simple, yet does not take away from the overall look of your outfit. This bracelet also features an Onyx gemstone and is available in sterling silver as well as 14k gold for about $300 from James Avery.

The second piece that I found goes great with the second dress from Saks Fifth Avenue. Bangle bracelets have been around for quite some time. What is great about them though is that you can wear one or a few, going from a simplistic look to unique style all your own. These bangles are currently on sale from JewelBasket.com, ranging from $125 to $328 depending on the intricateness.

Remember, jewelry is an investment and each piece is unique!

Guy’s, I didn’t forget about you. Next week, I’ll show you some great fashion to keep you looking hot!

Direct Partner Store – Bust Free

July 10th // 5 Comments

Yesterday, I mentioned a few great dresses for the Gala. While shoes and bags and jewelry add to any outfit, it is also important to wear the right undergarments. Herein lies a challenge.

Often, bras can be uncomfortable or pinch in the wrong places, making that elegant dress look like it needs to go to the cleaners to be ironed. Other times, we must rely on tape and other adhesives to keep everything situated. While I was perusing for dresses, I came across something much better than tapes and adhesives. They are made by Bust Free, an Australian based company.

I ordered a set the other day from our web portal for only $27! That is a great deal, considering we’ve spent more on bras that we end up throwing out after they lose their elasticity! I can also attest that they feel great and are extremely comfortable, not to mention form fitting which is nice. In addition, they don’t have any straps or wires and use your clothing to keep things in their place!

I hope everyone gets a set to go with their new dress! These are definitely one of my ‘centsible’ convention must-haves!

International Convention, International Flair

July 9th // 2 Comments

With International Convention almost here, my Inbox has been flooded with emails about what to wear to the Gala! Wanted to take the time to provide everyone with a few ‘censible’ fashion tips to help you look your best!

When shopping for a dress, we all experience the nagging that goes along with it. There are so many things to consider; the cut of the dress, the style, color, not to mention the shoes, handbag as well as the accessories.

I came across a few dresses that would be appropriate to wear to the Gala or even a night out. All of these dresses are available at Saks Fifth Avenue, who by the way, is a Market America partner (wink-wink).

The first dress I found was by Marc Bouwer Glamit! This Beaded Chiffon Empire Dress is both real head turner. Priced at $430, this dress is both comfortable and stunning.

Search Saks, keyword: beaded chiffon.

The second dress that I wanted to mention is also available Saks. The Polka Dot Dress by Carmen Marc Valvo has great piping work and is simple, yet very elegant. This dress is currently on-sale and is priced at around $200 .







Search Saks, keyword: Carmen Marc Valco polka dot.

Remember, buying a dress isn’t just about wearing it once. Look for dresses that you can accessorize to create many different distinct styles!

Tomorrow, I’ll focus on helping you accessorize these dresses to create a unique, yet complete look!

Love,
Loren

What ‘Suits’ You Best?

July 8th // 1 Comment

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! While we were relaxing and enjoying our time together, it got me thinking. It is summertime and we haven’t been to the beach in a while. I guess I was clamoring for the beach as a result of the sunny weather we had over the weekend (and the fact that I was reading an article on bathing suits at the time). Instead of providing you with ‘censible fashion,’ I wanted to find out from you some of your favorite swimsuits for the summer and where you got them. Feel free to take the poll that I setup or to post in the comments area!

Click here to tell us what ‘suits’ you!

Love,
