Flattering Tips That Hide Five Pounds

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Choose a handbag in proportion to your body. Square shape bags flatter a round figure and  a round shape will flatter a square figure. Be sure the strap length doesn’t fall near a trouble area giving you volume in the wrong place.
Use soft, light weight layering pieces to lightly camouflage, not cover you up.
High heels will give you more length and sleek legs, especially when wearing a pant. Be sure the opening at the ankle is not too narrow. Let the shoe show. Sandals and pumps with a 2 or 3 inch heel will also work.
Dressing in one color  will give a slimmer look but be sure to add color in your accessories or a soft or sexy camisole to draw the eye to the face.
Wear a body shaper. A light weight Spanx will do the trick in smoothing  you out, but don’t go too tight. It comes in a variety of styles and sizes. You can find them on line or in Chico’s or JC Penneys.
Be sure to wear the correct size bra. A larger size that fits properly will make you look thinner and your clothing will drape properly showing only your assets.

What to Look For When Buying Jeans

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

While jeans seem to be the dress of choice today, finding the correct pair can be a nightmare. We are all in search of finding the “perfect” sexy pair that fits correctly flattering the figure yet maintaining a certain level of comfort. The right pair of jeans will lengthen your legs, flatten your tummy, lift your butt, and create curves in all the right places.Don’t buy them too big or they won’t tuck you in and will look frumpy.
Darker wash denim are dressier and more slenderizing. Buy two pair and hem one for flats and one for heels.Own two pair that fit well rather than five ill fitting pair.
For finer settings, wear with a dressy top and high heel boots or shoes.
Premium stitched denim hugs curves and maintains its shape after washing.
The width at the ankle should not be smaller than the width at the knee.
Offset seams will flatter fuller hips and thighs. Calm down back end detail.
A well-cut blazer paired with a casual off-white top gives a professional edge.
Power Leg or Trouser leg jeans are dressier and are very chic.
Zipper free styles in a boot leg, will make the tummy look flatter.
On a narrower figure, a pair that hits below the navel will accent the waist.
****Hot Tip****
I found a great sexy  jean called NYDJ (Not Your Daughter’s Jeans). These comfortable
jeans are for almost every figure and have a “tummy tuck” feature.They range from $98 to $128 and a believe me, there’re worth every penny. Try them and see what  happens. Available at Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, and on line. Choose black and dark denim. The second runner up is the Style & Co Jean for about $42 and is available at Macy’s.
