MySkins does real nude lingerie

Someone give this company a medal, please! It finally occurred to someone to create nude lingerie. I know what you’re thinking,  I must have been living under a rock if that’s what I think. But, what I’m talking about is truly nude lingerie. I mean the kind that actually matches your skin tone and not the generic “one color fits all” that’s been our only option for decades.  The geniuses at MySkins saw a need and, thank God, took the initiative to fill it. Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve worn a white top for the sheer reason that no matter how many “nude” bras I try on with it they’re ALWAYS visible?!

MySkins has finally put an end to this problem by creating a line of lingerie that comes in 20 shades of nude. That means they have nude lingerie that fits your skin color, my skin color, my mama’s skin color, my sister’s skin color…well you get the picture!

The philosophy behind bringing us this ingenious invention?

MySkins™ is dedicated to bringing lingerie to the world on a personal level. Of course, that personal level is your own skin tone color.

Ladies, I say stock up! With colors and cuts that truly fit you, you’ll wonder how you ever did without. To learn more about MySkins or to get your hands on this revolutionary nude underwear visit MySkins.com.

Genevieve Jones: A Closet to Envy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Genevieve Jones has been the talk of the town for several years now.  Eyes have been upon her as she is one of the new socialites in the elite New York scene. The paparazzi are clamoring around her to get pictures as she appears to have a slew of fashion friends and fabulous wardrobe of designer clothes.  Ms. Jones is known as playing a vital part to the fashion industry’s market just by being associated with her as she dresses up or has photographs taken.

In the past Ms. Jones has been highlighted by famous photographers like Patrick McMullan who featured her in more than 400 pictures. New York’s fashion shows depict Ms. Jones as a fixture along the runways of Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Calvin Klein and Proenza Schouler. She has been known as the “It Girl” on the fashion scene years ago, so let’s see if she has made a comeback. 

Michael Kors says women like Ms. Jones, “because she wears the clothes with her own style, is much more credible than when a stylist dresses a celebrity.” Also, she was seen dancing in one of a short navy dress designed by Mr. Posen which later appeared in Style.com, a fashion Web site published by Advance Publications Inc. — the company that also owns Vogue. A Vogue stylist, noticed the dress and Ms. Jones, called Mr. Posen to ask that the dress be sent over for consideration in their magazine.

Currently, she has taken on a project to display her talents by launching a glamorous jewelry and handbag collection that has become a hit on the fashion scene. Ms. Jones designs have been bejeweled by Rihanna, Kate Moss and Kim Kardashian.

So, take a look in Genevieve Jones’ closet.  These fashions are surely to make you the hit of any party!  She adds her own style to as she sports minis to show a playful edge or a long flowing evening gowns or a maxi skirt. Many of her feminine selections are in spot light as exciting and fresh.

Michael Kors’ leather bubble skirt outfit

Michael Kors is so…well words can’t describe him. He has the ability to take the most basic pieces and make them interesting, exciting, and fresh. Take, for instance, the basic black outfit pictured above; a black mock turtleneck, black skirt, and black Mary Jane shoes. Yet, when Michael Kors gets through with this ensemble it absolutely faboosh! The mock turtleneck manages to be edgy thanks to its visible zipper. Paired with a knee length bubble skirt made of leather, it takes the look to a whole other level! Seriously, a leather bubble skirt…just saying it makes me want to kidnap it, runaway with it, and marry it.

He makes the outfit a complete statement with accessories. The one of a kind Chain Link Necklace and platform Runway Mary Jane Pumps give the whole look a “goth” flair. It’s  buckles and chains meets Hamptons chic. Leave it to Michael Kors to take these two unlikely looks and turn them into something we love. Actually, scratch that…”love” is too soft a word. We’re absolutely mad about this look!

Marni ‘Runway’ shoulder bag

Hola, ladies!
How ferosh is this purse?! So ferosh that I had to feature it in our “Stuff We Love” section and then proceed to find an entire outfit that is designed around it; check out the pic below. Why am I drooling over this large lambskin shoulder Runway bag from Marni? Well, besides its obvious fabulousness, it’s just an all around great bag. I’m totally digging the teal, which is one of this season’s hottest hues. The color makes the purse wearable year round. With just enough gray to mute it, the teal is not too bright to wear through the fall and winter months. The large silver clasp is the perfect amount of hardware and the size and shape of the bag keep it from being overwhelming. Even petite bodies can tote it. Plus, the overlapping pleats add an extra bit of texture. It’s practically perfect…and it has the price tag to prove it

To get your hands on this bag, head on over to Marni.com. And for more teal colored fall fashion, CLICK HERE.

Gym friendly flip flops

Finally! I was starting to think this day would never come; flip flops that get your gams (a.k.a legs) in shape? Okay, well not flip flops but FitFlop Shoes. These athletic flip flops may very well replace tennis shoes at the gym, which is fine by me. I hate wearing tennis shoes, to the gym or any other place.

Okay, so before I say something that’s going to get me sued let me step back a minute and clarify a few things about the FitFlop. First, FitFlops are not to be substituted for tennis shoes at the gym, no matter how much we would like them to be. The whole idea behind FitFlops is helping women fit leg toning exercise into their everyday routine. When you have 2 kids, a husband, pets, a full time job, church functions, and motherhood to deal with it is very likely that hitting the gym is at the bottom of your to do list, and that’s if it makes it onto the list at all. So, you slide on a pair of FitFlops, run all your errands, and by the time you get home you’ve just given your legs a good workout.

How does this ingenious product work? In a nutshell,

Fitflops feature patent-pending micro-wobbleboard technology so every step your take in your FitFlops helps tone and trim your legs.

Amazing; right? That’s why we love them! The best part is that they come in tons of colors, cuts, and fabrics to go with any outfit. They even have a FitFlop thong sandal doused in glitter! Pick up a pair for gorgeous gams and the easiest workout you’ve never had.

Is it just me or are our favorite accessories sprouting feathers? I’m not opposed to the idea since I am absolutely loving this feather accessories trend. Headbands, hair clips, purses…the possibilities are endless. These feather accessories will have you flocking to the store to get your hands on them!

Must-have fashion: The tunic top

Happy Tuesday, ladies! I was awaken way too early this morning by the cable guy installing my land line. So, since I was up I figured I’d do some online shopping. Check out this very hip tunic I found on Bluefly.

“What’s so hip about it,” you ask. Well for starters, tunic tops are great for any day of the week, especially when they’re are made from a jersey material. They flatter every figure, and can be dressed up or down without too much of a fuss. Take for instance the black jersey henley tunic by Clu, pictured to the left. For a day look I would throw this tunic on over a black tank top and pair it with leggings, or a pair of skinny jeans, and black ballet flats. I’d accessorize with my signature silver hoops, a cocktail ring, and my huge black bag.

However, to take this look into an evening dinner date I would exchange my ballet flats for a pair of funky sky high heels, layer a few long necklaces, trade in my huge black bag for an oversized clutch, and add silver bangles. Any way you choose to wear this tunic, it is a must have for your closet!

J Crew and the most fantabulous tweed jacket EVER!

I was looking through J Crew’s website this morning, looking for some fashions to add to the COVERINGS site and my eyes behold the most fantabulous tweed jacket EVER! When I think of tweed, I think of a polished conservative look, but this new Casette-tweed Marcel jacket from J Crew makes wearing tweed look young and hip. The jacket is part tweed jacket, part cropped motorcycle jacket.

The cut of the jacket keeps it within the confines of the traditional tweed jacket, complete with 3/4 length sleeves. What gives it its modern twist is the casette-tweed fabric used, straight from the couture fiber mills of Italy. Seriously, get this jacket while you can because with it’s only a matter of time before this haute look is sold out.

*How to wear this look: Pull on a pair of khaki bermuda shorts, thin belt, white tee, and layered jewelry. Wear a pair of patent leather peep toe heels, or a pair of wedges to complete the look for summer.
