Guys, take note... (II)

Guys Take Note (II) by ubetterwork featuring Burberry

      

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! 

10 Essential Winter Must-Haves

10 Essential Winter Must-Haves by ubetterwork featuring punk pants

The 10 essentials for this Winter:

1. A belted trench coat in a neutral color.

2. A rebel pant. This is a mix of upper echelon plaid and leather chic. 

3. A brocade patterned skirt. If it happens to be a pencil skirt, that's a bonus.

4. Over-the-knee boots. Perfect with leggings or tights.

5. A studded piece. Whether it's a bag, shoe or ear cuff, it's a must.

6. An arm cuff. Something with a bit of flair.

7. An ear cuff. Studded ones are daring and on trend.

8. Cat eye shades. Feline and chic, these shades are uber-feminine.

9. A winter red lip stain. A very dark red, almost burgundy is a stunning contrast for the dark, dreary days of Winter.

10. A fringed infinity scarf. A scarf with a little extra, as seen here.

Hope you guys like my picks. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Style Options for Labor Day

Style Options for Labor Day by ubetterwork featuring enamel jewelry

         

For this Labor Day weekend I wanted to pick a few pieces that could be mixed and matched to wear to a barbecue, a sporting event, or casual date night. For some reason I tend to gravitate towards red, white and blue for major holidays here in the US (not sure why), maybe it's the patriotism in me. Either way, the colors red, white and blue, are fairly easy to style. Of course I chose a crop top because they are very much on trend right now. As well as the high top sneakers and asymmetrical skirt (in this case a skort). 

Can you wear white after Labor Day?

Have a wonderful Labor Day and weekend! :-)

Alice & Trixie

When I first discovered Alice & Trixie, I thought, finally, designers who create the look I try to achieve on a daily basis (when not in the corporate world). Alice & Trixie is Effortlessly chic, uber-feminine and comfortable. With creative patterns, bold colors and easy -breezy fabrics, I'm never disappointed with each collection. Now, notice I said "designers", well, earlier on I assumed Alice & Trixie were two, not one. Angela Taylor George, is the creator (she does have a team) but she created Alice & Trixie in 1997 after years of experience in the fashion mecca, AKA New York! :-)

Have a GREAT weekend! :-)
