Maxi dress is still the Summer must have!
I have said this numerous times, but shopping lately has proved my point, the Maxi dress is indeed the Summer MUST HAVE!! No matter what color or design, they are easy to care for, easy to wear and breathable! I purchased a beautiful BRIGHT Yellow maxi dress from Charming Charlie's ..loves it and so do many other people! So girlies if you do not have one, head out and get you one!!! Try White House Black Market, Charlies, Dillards and Neiman Marcus for some great fines!
What a Break!!! Did ya miss me?
Guess who is back? Savvydiva of course, took a break to grade fashion projects and run around with my students. I am sooooooooooo proud of them and all of their shows, tonight FEVER - produced by MS COCO happens tonight @ 8 PM. Tony Harris has a show coming up on the 30th. San Antonio is finally trying to come up in fashion thx to the IADT graduates and shows! The Art institute is now in SA as well, so expect GREAT things coming up from both schools.

People read but no followers?? What's that about?
Ok folks
Numerous people have contacted me about my blog, but you are not following me, except on Twitter. Let me know that I am not crazy. I know that Texas still has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOong way to go as far as fashion goes, but we are getting there and as always, Texans have their own way on doing things. I think we are slowly coming out from under our shell and starting to embrace our savviness (Is that a word?) I want folks to know that it does not take your entire paycheck to look and feel FAB! I personally do not shop expensive brands not because I can not afford too, but I love small businesses and boutiques and one of a kind places where my dollar goes further. Spend 900 dollars on one pair of shoes (just because of the designer name attached to them) or spend 900 dollars in Macy's or WHBM and get some staple always fashionable pieces that can be mixed and matched? My associates had never heard of some of my fav places until I started ranting on about them. I can spot a FAB LBD for a Scary price that would cost your average fashionista her entire month salary for a third of the price in some cases at my fav places. Let us not take cheapness over quality, quality will win hands down. I mean really, do you want your dress to fall off of you at your next event? Shop around and get some investment staple pieces and you should be fine! TJ Maxx and Marshall 's have great finds at a good deal. My hang out WHBM has the latest trends mixed with a little vintage and classic (Which I love) at reasonable prices. True, you will not go in there and purchase one thing (believe me I have tried), but your closet and your esteem will thank you later!! Stop buying 10 dollar pants expecting them to last for the next 5 yrs! There I said it, hope I did not hurt anyone's feelings, my grandmother always use to say that people have caviar taste on a champagne budget and they would forever be in debt. What are your thoughts? Twitter me as you all like to do and remember to dress and shop savvy!!
Smoochies FAB ones!!

I have a new Love in intimates!!

I know it has been a while folks but many of you know that my FAB Dapper Father has been under the weather and actually had a Heart Attack this past weekend, so he has been keeping me busy. Thx for all the calls and text messages XOXOXO to you all! I wanted to post this like a month ago but everything went left, you all know that I love me some WHBM and often share style ideas from their look book as well as from their sister store Chicos. Well I can now say that I am in love with Soma as well. I recently purchase some vanishing edge undies at WHBM and I am in love. I have been telling everyone and their mother about these intimates. They do not ride and they look FAB under fitted trousers and skirts...no line ladies which is one of my TOP pet Pevs. Love them!!!! I went back and stocked up!! You must try them and they can even be ordered online in numerous colors!! So many retailers make intimates complicated and literally unwearable, not these, and no they are not granny panties, they actually are what I would call simply sexy and everyday wearable. Check them out at www.soma.com/store
Smoochies!!!

Sex and the City 2

I went to see this FAB fashionista movie yesterday. First, let me say the fashions were FAB and vivid! Second let me say that the location of this movie is out of this world! This movie has it all love, laughter, kids, a wedding, exotic travel and eats, hot guys, and FAB fashions of course! It is a must see for the opening Unofficial weekend of Summer. Samantha as always had me laughing til it hurt. Love the story line of the movie and could actually relate to the ladies in different ways. Do not take the kids, this is definitely a Girlfriend or girls night out movie. The theater here actually had Cosmo's and other drinks for sale and local ladies don their best Sex and the City attire. So if you have not seen the movie, go this weekend and stay out the heat!!!

Well it is here!!
Warm smiles and warm weather!! Texas is known for many things, one of the biggest things is it's GREAT weather! With the warm weather comes.....yep the flip flops!!!
