Flattering Facts!

instyle.com "Look of the Day"



We got some tips from Charla Krupp's book "How to Never Look Fat Again" to share with you on how you can use your wardrobe to make feel great in your clothes. Enjoy!

Lengthen It
By adding a long necklace to your top or dress, you allow the eyes focus to come to the center of your body instead of your arms or hips. Plus, who doesn't LOVE having an awesome, long necklace.

In the Nude
This is one of the best tricks for everyone. Buy some sandals or pumps that match your skin color of your leg and instantly appear thinner. A nude heel not only gives you height, but also gives the illusion that your leg is longer creating a skinny effect!

Get Low With It
Wear a deep V neck top or dress and instantly "shape up". By exposing your skin between your chin and waist in a V shape, you will instantly create a new focal point. Not only does your skin draw attention to the center line of your body, the V shape creates a seemingly longer torso that makes you look thinner and taller!

Up and Away
Show off those cheekbones! Pull your hair up into a high ponytail or bun at the crown of your head and expose the bones in your cheeks. This will make your face appear thinner. Add some highlight or bronzer to your cheekbones for an even more defined look!

We hope these little tips help you feel great and slimmer for your nights out on the town. Let us know any tricks you have up your sleeves!

Trina Trina Trina!

Ok, so we know that we have been away for a while, but we are back! And we are super pumped about the summer time. We can't wait to sit poolside, have BBQs and finally get a sun tan. We just got in a new shipment of Trina Turk and it is beautiful. I'm surprised that there are any pieces left because all of us are dying for them. Here's a sneak peek and we hope the colors and styles get you in the mood for some more hot weather!
