Barbie showing Jenny how to strike a pose.

Barbie has worked for Howie (Worlds Apart's owner) for over 20 years. She is the best, she has so much spunk and we love her.

Jenny needs to buy that BCBG top for sure.

Umm I wish...

...that I looked as Hot as Jenny in a Romper.

(and that I had those two shoes to decide between to wear with my Romper)

Happy Father's Day!

We are obsessed with Cameron Diaz and this fabulous look she was photographed in. She looks comfortable, cute, professional and put-together all in one outfit! Check out the style and colors of very similar Flying Monkey skinnies that we have at our Little Sister store, Bluetique, down on the corner of Woodland and Maxwell. Go check out all these colors and get Cameron's look!

Wedding Do's and Do Not's

With Wedding Season already upon us, it is time to go over the Do's and Do Not's of being a Wedding Guest, a Wedding Guest of a Guest, Bridesmaid, Maid of Honor, and any and every other role there is in attending a wedding.

Do: Make a champagne toast celebrating how happy the bride and groom will be.
Do Not: Drink so much champagne that you forget to make a toast and in the end, you are the only one that is happy.

Do: Choose a beautiful dress (there's plenty at Worlds Apart) to feel and look gorgeous on the big day.
Do Not: Wear cream, white, ivory, off-white, kind-of-white, could-be-mistaken-as-white white, pale grey, pebble, etc.

Do: Bring an appropriate present off the couple's registry.
Do Not: Not bring a gift with the intention of sending one later (you will never send it later).

Do: Enjoy the food and drink at the reception.
Do Not: Enjoy the drink too much at the reception.

Do: Wear the bridesmaid dress that the bride picks for you.
Do Not: When the bride tells you that you will wear the bridesmaid dress again and again, do not tell her that you probably won't.

Do: Try to catch the bouquet.
Do Not: Physically attack someone while trying to catch the bouquet.

Do: Have fun at any and all Weddings you are attending this year!
Do Not: Take these Do's and Do Not's too seriously!

Bath Salts

These Bath Salts by Shannon Martin are hilarious. We love the witty quote with the classic vintage picture. Makes a perfect little gift :)

Oh, yeah. Available at both locations!

Must Have Candles

We just got a new shipment of these fabulous candles in at the Home Store in Chevy Chase. If you do not have Voluspa Candles, you are missing out. These candles burn clean due to the coconut wax and have the most amazing scents. Not to mention the cool design on the tin that will instantly amp up any room!

Laguna
Velvet sands and dazzling azure seas. The gentle Santa Ana winds that pull warm desert air to meet the Pacific.

Saijo Persimmon
Japanese Saijo Persimmon considered to be the finest gourmet variety is layered with peach and red currant.
Elysian Garden
Speckled sunlight shining through trees onto ferns, moss and grotto. Sun warmed citrus fruit and gentle green foliage.
French Bourbon Vanilla
Creamy rich vanilla from Bourbon France. We have been waiting for this scent to come back in by popular demand!

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!
