Shopping For Fall Basics

Summer is enchanting us with its sunny days... for now... and the heat makes it more enticing to wear some sexy and semi-revealing pieces like a mini LBD, but what happens when the season changes and the chill sets in? How can we maintain our fabulous styles and still include our sexy flavor?

Here is a list of a few sexy style should-haves for the upcoming fall season:


*Chic, fitted solid lightweight jacket or trench coat with your personal flavor- like a metallic fabric or contrasting belt
--Check out bebe, J. Crew, Macy's, Cache, www.spiegel.com and any other store that offers beautifully stylish coats

*Dark fitted denim jeans that make you feel like a star are a style necessity. Make sure you try on lots of jeans to find the best pair(s) for you and your body.
--Check out any store that sells jeans and try on, try on, try on... it will pay off.

*Lace tights are practically a must. Sexy, classic and sophisticated. Lace reveals a little leg and a lot of style. With so many styles and colors to choose from, it should be easy to find at least one pair you will fall in love with.
--Check out www.express.com for some ideas.

*Boots to pair with pants and skirts. Make sure the boots you choose are flattering on you given your height and proportions.
--Check out www.bakersshoes.com, www.cutesygirl.com, www.victoriassecret.com and www.macys.com (Jessica Simpson) for just a few of the fabulous boots available.

*Thin tops and sweaters mixed with some chunky ones for layering. The different weights and textures add interest and movement. Make sure the bulkier pieces are minimal, always the top layer and that the pieces never hide your body. Accentuate the positive. :) Try on different combinations at:
--Forever21, H&M, Old Navy, Express, Ann Taylor, The Limited, Macy's and any other stores that speak to you

*A beautiful day bag to carry your everyday "essentials" is an every season essential
--Check out www.coach.com, www.macys.com and bags by Jessica Simpson. I highly recommend her designs.

*Remember that accessories are still important to complete any outfit.
--Try For Love for affordable, trendy costume jewelry, bags and belts.

Enjoy the changing seasons. Enjoy dressing for each day. And may you wear only the clothes that make you look and feel sexy and confident.
