Fabulous Tip of the Day: Dress Up Your Jeans With Statement Pumps

Today's Fab Tip:

"The best way to glam up jeans? Make sure your shoes do the talking by hunting out statement heels with eye-catching details and fabrics. Team with skinny black denim and everyone will be too busy looking at your feet to notice you've broken the dress code."
-- Taken from In Style magazine, UK compact edition, January 2014, page 97.

There are times when you go out to a party or club and don't feel like wearing a dress, or you haven't done your laundry, and jeans are the only clean things left. (Is that just me? I can't be the only one.) A pair of glamorous heels, whether sparkly, in a shiny fabric, holographic, bejeweled, et cetera, will always dress up your outfit, even if it's a pair of skinny jeans and a button-down. Wear some sparkly earrings or necklace to balance out the look.

Be glamorous and fabulous tonight. I know I'll be while watching Downton Abbey and Sherlock on Masterpiece Theater. Join me on Twitter for live-tweeting at 9 pm EST.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Statement Sweater

Today's Fab Tip:

"Throw On A Statement Sweater: The fall runways were positively swaddled in chunky, highly detailed knitwear in slightly slouchier shapes. To pull off the look without looking like a schoolboy, team a boxy cut with a flouncy mini. If you're thinking about a cardi, don't wear it-- drape it! Sling it over the shoulder of a fitted sheath for a hip, dashing-from-the-front-row-at-fashion-week vibe."
-- Taken from In Style magazine, Special Beauty Issue Fall 2013, page 43.

Below is a picture of my brand new statement sweater from the Phillip Lim for Target collection, and yes, I definitely plan to wear it with miniskirts, especially my Princess Vera Wang faux leather mini for an edgy vibe. This is a great way to work stylish layers as the weather starts to get cooler.
