Dressing TO Impress Men

I live with my Husband in Midtown East.  I find that although mostly I am dressing for myself, I love to look good and be appreciated by him.   He is my star!

The thing I have realised with men is that they do not necessarily have a clue when it comes to fashion, but they know when a woman looks good.  

Men may notice the skimpily dressed woman at the supermarket, however does not mean they have a respect for that look.   When they see a well dressed woman, she stands out more in a way because one notices how she has put herself together.  I think the way you dress demands a certain respect and communicates a lot about who you are as a person.  Like I said, men may not really giving much attention to fashion but they will usually find respect for a well dressed woman. 

There are certain rules when dressing I think.  Its not that you can't expose any skin or something to be classy, it is that you should be aware of how you put outfits together.  For example, if you are wearing a skirt that shows your legs, make sure your upper half is more covered and dont expose any cleavage.  If you are wearing a tight top or a sexy top, make sure your bottom half is not as exposed.  If you are wearing a short skirt and a cleavage top, it can look cheap.
A knee length black heavy fabric dress which skims the curves of my body is flattering, sexy, elegant and sophisticated all at the same time. 

Another look is Turtle neck sweaters with sexy tights.
When you have great legs, you can wear a short skirt with heels and a top that goes right up to your neck; looks gorgeous!

When it comes to make up, men may say things like "I like it when you look natural"   What they mean really is that they dont like when your makeup is really obvious, like your makeup is extravagant or you have foundation caked on to your skin.  I think they like it best when they dont notice you are wearing makeup.  They could say you dont need any makeup but I think they dont really know what they are talking about here.  Just look natural and dont over do it, and they will see you shine. 

Of course it is most important to dress and wear makeup to make yourself happy!

New York Fashion Week

The public fashion show, the largest in the history of NY, featured more than 150 top models and focused on "trends of the fall season," Proceeds are benefiting the New York City AIDS fund. Have you seen any of the footage? It was pretty amazing with big time models like Gisele Bundken. She looked so stunning.

I found out that 1,000 stores have signed on -- an increase of 200 from last year, still do not know all the stores but I'm figuring its going to be a lot of them!

GEOX amazing EMPIRE STATE BUILDING HEELS

New York City lies at the heart of every shoe shopper.  New York is heaven on a stick when it comes to finding stunning, drop-dead gorgeous shoes.  I

 found the most amazing Sex and the City/Carrie shoes that you can imagine!!!!  Check these out!  I knew I had to buy them when the sales lady showed me the silver carry case (looked like a brief case) that came as an accessory with the shoes.  If you are a tourist or live here you would want these shoes...so Different, so New York and so Sexy. 


They definitely had a substantial price tag of $250.00, however there was no option when it came down to it.  My heart told me to buy them!

Scarfs, the best assecory for fall!

There are so many gorgeous scarfs coming out for fall and I think they are the best accessory you can find.
You can either weat them as a belt around jeans or a pretty dress or the classic way as a scarf.  Try some beautiful patterned one, dark reds and greens are in for fall colours.
They always add the touch to an outfit.

Whats the best time to shop?

Unless you love shopping with the masses avoid shopping at the certain times;

On a friday!
On a Saturday afternoon
In the evening hours after 4pm

My favorite time to shop (when I have the time off) is in the morning, just when the shops open, preferably a mon or tues. 

It is so relaxing to have the shop to yourself, to browse, to not have to say excuse me a million times and subtly fight for any size that you would like.  Plus who wants to wait to try clothes on!!!!  I personally can not stand it. 

It is heaven to have a relaxed shopping time and you will find beautiful clothes that look good on you because you have the time and no pressure of anyone around you.
