The HEAT is on

In more than one ways the HEAT is on! Summer is upon us as well as the recent victory of our beloved Miami HEAT winning the 2012 NBA Championships.  Congratulations King James and teammates.

...and in fashion news, no matter what we do during these hot summer months, there is nothing escaping the heat so if you cannot beat it, then join it.... but only in style!

As a lover of sunshades, I wanted to share a few styles with you that will serve this summer well. 
Let's sizzle!!!!




A fun pair from Jason Wu



Classic Lauren



Chic Lagerfeld




These always capture the sunlight well!  From Old Navy



Very Mod Chloe



Transformation Station

My second victim, I meant client was extremely easy to work with.  Smart, good looking with all the curves in the right places, she wore her dresses well.  Usually in jeans and comfy shoes, I wanted to soften her look yet not take her too far from the norm.  This was very much a fun trial experience and I cannot wait to do some more.  

Here is Rana with one dress and several looks, I had to throw in a second look and yes!  I went all out with that second one...

Belted with flats - A definite first day date!

With flats and a clutch - Sunday brunch

Heels and funky earrings - Hanging with the girls on a weekday evening

What else can I say but gorgeous!

Changing Careers and taking prisoners

The idea came one night and I am putting that idea into action. Personal Shopper and stylist. Although I never studied fashion, I certainly love it! The shoes, accessories and make-up and have had a serious calling for me over the past couple of years.

My job, although fulfilling, keeps me grounded at a desk with the view of a pale industrial paint color on the walls of my office daily. It certainly gives me time to think...think about what color shirt would look good with that pair of pants and what shoes would look good with that dress and oh let me search for the latest hairstyles, color trends and what's hot for the season...oops, I am at work, snap out of it! I decided one day, I need to lean on my friends and family and bring those thoughts to fruition.

The first victim, Lorian! Here are some looks I did with her:

Afternoon chat with the girls

Casual Friday

After work for drinks

Sailing

First dinner date
