From Frumpy to Foxy in the Summertime

I found this book  Frumpy to Foxy in 15 minutes flat  at the dollar store.  The book written by Elycia Rubin and Rita Mauceri  gives tips from grooming to looking great even  when you are a traveling. There are basics like makeup and wardrobe essentials to how to look good when you are pregnant. I found this book at the Lawrence Park Shopping Center. What a great find.  
The book was written in 2005 and though six years old...it gives classic advice that never gets old.
Rubin is one of the original founders of The Style Network, and worked as the former Fashion Director for E! Entertainment Television.
 Rubin has been a voice of style in  magazines and newspapers including The Los Angeles Times, People Magazine and Women's Wear Daily.
Rita Mauerci is  a style expert and award-winning television executive with over fifteen years’ experience developing and producing a wide range of programming on fashion, design, travel, and entertainment. The two put out another books called Curves Rule and Fat is Fabulous empowering women to look good with their God given bodies.

 Here are some tips from the book on summer fashion.
 Must haves in your wardrobe: tank tops; sundresses,sandals; mid thingh or cotton shorts with a flat front with flare, white tops pop your color; crisp cotton chinos; white pants; flip flops; ankle-strap espadrilles and white sneakers; a straw tote or light colored bag is all you need.and with jewelery stick to bangles in silver and wood ordangling earrings and chucky rings will complete your look.   

Summer tips to always look cool in the heat: Keep your hair off your face so you don't breakout. Tie it back with a scarf. Get a pedicure so those feet look good in those faboulous beaded sandals. Lighten up the lipstick
You definitely need a hat and sunglasses and some sunscreen. 
It's a great book and easy read and for a dollar the best fashion buy you will ever get. Keep Styling in Delco

Hats Hats and More Hats.

At the Royal wedding hats were all the rage. So unique ( odd is a better word) by a princess was sold for $30,000.  I am not a hat person. I like the wind blowing in my hair .
But yes hats  are quite the rage this year. With the Kentucky Derby over and the biggest event on the Main Line the Devon Horse Show. Check out these hats that Pete Bannon one of the photographers at the Main Line Times photographed. It will make you smile.
Even though I am not a hat person, please make sure when you are in the sun for a long time wear a hat. Sun poison, sun stroke and skin cancer can take an enormous toll on the body and your fashion sense.

The Bikini has a Birthday!

The bith of the bikini was 65 years ago.  Sad to say those days of wearing a bikinis are over for me. But I remember my first one. It was a flowered print light blue in color. I had another one that I wore too. It was a green knit. I have a picture with me standing on top of a car wearing that bikini striking a pose. Ah for those Wild Wild Wildwood Days. So today I am sharing this video to you. A toast to bikinis and those who are young enough to wear them!
