Memorial Day Style Guide

Memorial Day Style Guide by ubetterwork featuring Christian Louboutin Open Toe Wedge Sandals

Hello Fashionistas!

Memorial Day is fast approaching, less that two weeks away. Does anyone have any fashionating plans? 

Quick post today to feature some Memorial Day Styles that you can wear if you have an outing planned. I looked back to when I last composed a Memorial Day post and it was here in 2013. Today I created 3 looks for 3 separate occasions.  I used my Spring Must-Haves for inspiration and the looks pretty much created themselves. I wanted to feature ruffles, stripes and off course florals, but not in a traditional sense, but in a matter of fact way. These different trends may be hot this Spring, but they can still be incorporated in your closet as staple pieces for future wear. We all know fashion tends to repeat itself, so why not be prepared. 

Which look is your favorite?

Calvin Klein extra 40% OFF | Coach up to 50% OFF

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

Hello Fashionistas!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving or Friends-giving. It's always great seeing family and friends; spending quality time together while feasting on delicious turkey and all the rest.

 Didn't complete this Christmas gift guide as early in the month as I wanted, however, I've listened to my friends and these are the most coveted items this season.This gift guide, as usual, is geared towards the guys. Ladies, you know what to do (see here). 

Do you ladies agree with this list? If not, what would you like for Christmas?

What To Wear

Hello Fashionistas! How was your weekend? Fashionating I hope. 

For this post I wanted to address a concern that a lot of corporate, busy, on-the-go women (Yes! I'm talking to you fashion bloggers) are faced with on a regular basis. What to wear to: happy-hour, a networking event or a low key after-work event? Well, I used to have this problem but no longer. Now, I'm going to let you know what I do when I have days like these. It's quite simple and it doesn't take much planning. 

First, I have to know what type of day I'm going to have to plan accordingly. If I have a meeting with buttoned up execs and then attending happy-hour right after and there is no time to go home and change -which is almost always- then, I brainstorm on pieces that I could bring to easily change into; Which is usually in the restroom at the building you just had said meeting.

Second, I go into my closet and decide on an outfit and accessories. Finding the right accessories also means, finding the right bag to carry the extra pieces that you will need to transition your outfit from "day" to "night" (we'll use "day" to night" for this example). Jewelry pieces are also really easy to change out and carry. 

Third, I usually try to bring one additional piece of clothing to change into. The clothing you choose should be wrinkle-resistant and fold-able to place in your bag. FYI, Jeans are perfect for this. I try to keep the same heels on through-out, but if you prefer, by all means throw in a cute pair of flats. Simple, right!?!

What are your tips for transitioning from "day" to "night"? Let me know below.

 Thanks for reading!

Hello! Only 2 weeks left before Christmas is here. It seems like this year has flown by, don't you think? Have you completed your Christmas shopping or are you a last minute shopper like myself? If all else fails you can always buy a gift card.

If you remember my post from last year which was a guide for those guys out there that wanted to actually purchase something for the special woman/women in their lives (see here Guys, take note); Here's another guide just for you. You are welcome! ^_^ And ladies, remember what you have to do to get a gift from this list. 

Enjoy! 

What Women Want---

Valentine's Day gift guide for men based on a survey I conducted earlier today. The above is in no particular order, none is more important than the other. Some of the items did not make the list because I couldn't mention it here on my rated PG blog, however I hope you get what you want (you know who you are). 

1. Red roses, no surprise there. Red is the color of passion, so this is one way for a guy to show how he feels about a woman. And roses smell great.
2. Chocolate candy (I'll keep my comment to myself).
3. A Valentine's Card. A card does go a long way fellas, especially if you are not very verbose about your feelings, or not into writing sonnets; choose the best card that can express what you would like to convey to your woman.
4. Christian Louboutin pumps. Not surprised these made the list. What can I say, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
5. A new car. This one was a bit surprising but hey, why not put it out there.
6. Hermes bag (good luck with this one).
7. Romantic dinner for two. I really like this idea, especially if you know how to cook, kudos to you!
8. Massage. This is a no-brainer, relieve stress and tension so you can re-connect.
9. Romantic get-a-way. No kids, no work, just you two =)
10. A nice guy. 

Didn't get a chance to participate in my survey earlier? Let me know what you would like for Valentine's Day!

The ladies have spoken. The above items were compiled from a survey I conducted earlier (thank you ladies for answering so promptly). Guys, these are the items that you should be looking for, especially, if your special someone expects more than a gift card - which are great- they just don't show much thought. Now of course, you should always get a gift return receipt with every purchase. The items above can be found online, if you hate the malls this time of year or all year-round.

Also, check out firmoo.com/free-glasses if you would like to get her or yourself a pair of stylish glasses for FREE. See my Review Here.

Ladies, a little help to get one of these gifts under the Christmas tree: Pull up this post and leave it open on his screen. Then make a comment on the items that you really like when he asks "what is this doing up"?

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog :)
