shirts

i suggest long sleeves and short by 7 diamond, they have a huge array of button downs. great styles and colors some funky elements and cool stitching, plus don't have to iron them (what man doesn't dig that?). http://www.7diamonds.com/shop/button-downs

sports coat

quickest way to spice up your look is to get one of these...

who's the boss?? hugo!  he has great spring looks, go with a color or a great versatile blue!

john varvatos - has great everything but love this colored pinstripe, plus the two ticket pocket, seeing that a lot. http://www.johnvarvatos.com/two-button-jacket/d/5204

and for less $$  

kenneth cole - has a twill coat that will do the trick. work it with a t and hoody or dress up with dark jeans and a button down. http://www.kennethcole.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3075432&cp=13216059


and don't let 'slim fit' scare you, boxy is OUT!! 

i'm still on the hunt for a great sweater vest, to be continued.... 

my two scents

sunday blues got ya down?

sometimes the easiest thing can really brighten your day, like spritzing up with a fabulous scent. here are a few of my favorite perfumes that are sure to elevate your mood and maybe your loved ones too...

jo malone's wild bluebell, thanks to my sister in law who sent a few samples for my birthday it might be my new everyday

you can't go wrong with the bold and bright scent of creed's spring flower, still an all time favorite

michael kors eau de parfum glimmer creme, an old 'go to' that smells amazing and moisturizes at the same time

and prada's infusion de fleur d'oranger, a super fresh and springy scent that won't disappoint!

crazy for espadrilles

effortless comfort

since spring is all about color blocking and patterns i think for $42 these Soludos  at shopbop are a great fix to kick about town in, check 'em out...

 and cause i'm part snob, i have to include these great missonis too, YUM!

Let yourself shine

From the inside out! 

 Feeling grateful, appreciative, and compassionate makes us all more beautiful. Grab your mat and get the Yoga flowing. To kick start the good vibes here are few yoga looks that will get anyone shinning...

 Lululemon practice freely tank

Clary Sage miracle crop pant

Hard Tail slouchy shirt for the warm up or apres

Beyond Yoga drop collar coat to throw on over it all

an Adidas yoga mat

Stella McCartney for Adidas sneakers to get you there

and a pair of these Carve designs knickers post class, in case you've worked up one awesome sweat

Ommmmmmm
