Style Icon Christie Brinkley
Besides being America’s sweetheart, Christie Brinkley is a style icon. Christie works the Hamptons look with such amazing ease. Her style is always tailored, always classic, always appropriate, and of course, always gorgeous!
To steal Christie’s look, lean toward the preppy side, no bright colors, choose classic timeless pieces, like a great pencil skirt or a beautiful Bolero hat, stick with monotones, and keep jewelry to a minimum. Love that Hampton’s look!

Gossip Girls
Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl, giving us his best Gordon Gekko impersonation. I adore this look! This over-the-top style is amazing…and so hot! It screams sexy. Love it! I especially love the fact that the style continues on to another generation.

Maxi Dress
The consensus on the newest trend, the maxi dress is…..He says, “no way!” She says, “I love it!” That seems to be the latest consensus from an unofficial poll I’ve been taking about the latest trend in women’s fashion, the long maxi dress. From Rodeo Drive to your street, the maxi dress is making a fashion statement. The question is, what is the statement? Women seem to think the overall statement is cute and comfortable. Men seem to think the overall statement is frumpy and unflattering.
A wildly popular trend now, the maxi dress is being worn by women who want to be cute and comfortable at the same time. However, the negative input by the men may have you changing your mind….along with your dress.
Every male I had asked about this new trend gave a luke-warm response with, “it’s okay, but not form-fitting enough.” Some even responded with “dresses like this need to be burned.” Ironically, I couldn’t find one male response that said, “gorgeous, sexy, I love it.”
Women, on the other hand, simply loved the maxi dress. Women find this dress to easily transition from casual to dressy. The biggest response I received from women was “it looks so comfortable.”
What do you think about the maxi dress? Love it or lose it?

Design Your Own Kicks
Nike is helping people get in touch with their inner shoe designer. After all, we want to look stylish at all times, including our workouts. One of my favorite forms of cardio is step aerobics, and for that reason, I adore Nike Shox. They have built in shocks in the heel, making them perfect for stepping, jumping, dance, running, etc. They provide maximum cushioning to the heel. My favorite part about my Shox is that I can design them myself, choosing from color, design, material, embellishments…right down to the color of the shoosh. Not only is Nike my favorite workout shoe for performance, but they also step up the fun by letting you design them yourself. Go To NikeID now to design your own kicks!

Gladiator Shoes
Gladiator shoes…..let’s discuss. Everywhere you look, you see gladiator-inspired shoes. Why? Why would you take a part of your body that you want to be small and dainty, and decorate it with buckles and brass half way up your calf? Why would you want to elongate your foot to make it look longer? Before you jump on the gladiator trend bus, keep in mind that this is (A) just a fad and (B) makes your foot look equivalent to Shaq’s! Who wants that? Check out some serious offenders below. This style shoe is heavy and chunky, making a beautiful dress look off balance. It’s just a highly unattractive look and I hope it goes away soon. Avoid straps and attention to the center of the top of your foot. When you have too much going on there, it makes your foot seem enormous. Unless, enormous feet are what you’re striving for.
