Getting the Look: 6/28/09

As women we are always on the hunt trying to find the right outfit, the hottest shoes and making sure our hair is on point. But what about finding the right scent? Shopping for a new perfume can be an overwhelming experience because there are so many to choose from! I've found the best way to choose the right scent is making sure it matches your personality. If you tend to be more on the quiet side, a soft scent like Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan or Daisy by Marc Jacobs would be a great compliment for you. The sex kitten of the group? Try Mademoiselle by Chanel or J'Adore by Dior. Determining your perfect scent can be difficult but you don't have to decide in one day. My tip...GET SAMPLES! If you like a scent ask for a sample and use it for a week to see if you like it. Enjoy!

I have put together some cute outfit ideas for those days where looking cute is the last thing on your mind. We've all had this experience when you see someone you didn't want to see and you look horrible! And you know what they're thinking, " Wow, she looked way better in high school!". My goal is to make sure that never happens to you again! These outfit ideas are going to only accentuate your positive attributes and help you look cute while casual.

Tip #1 - Instead of a boring t-shirt, try wearing a blouse. A blouse creates a more feminine appearance and always make you look more sleek and stylish. Pair them with your favorite jeans and some cute flats or sandals to complete the look.

Tip #2 - Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize! If you have to wear a t-shirt and jeans with flip flops, make sure your accessories pull it all together. Necklaces, rings, earrings and handbags can add personality to your outfit and color. Use them to take your outfit from a boring day to day look to something more polished.

Tip # 3 - Trade in your old flip flops for a cute sandal. I understand how comfy flip flops can be and there are times when they are very appropriate (only at the beach). There are so many different styles of flats and sandals that can add a pop of color to your outfit and make you look 10x more stylish.
