These are a few of my favorite things

Every girl has her crushes... and I am not talking about boys. I'm referring to those seemingly "necessary" objects that you crave. The "I need it" nail polish, lip gloss, flat iron, or those awesome new jeans. What's currently strong on my list now is as follows:

Essie nail polish in Lilacism, part of the Essie Art of Spring Collection is just divine on the pages of Elle. Imagine my surprise when I stepped into the nail salon and there it was. No longer forced to pick a dark hue that I already held in my hand, I gently put down the old and reached for the new, Lilacism. So for now I am totally in lust! This fabulously fun shade of lilac has a matte finish and looks totally chic. I was receiving compliments within minutes of sporting it and you will too!

TwoSome rings by Erica Anenberg. One ring that sits on two fingers. A truly unique way to "put a ring on it" and showcase your individuality. Designed in California and representative of West Coast laid back style these rocker rings are a sure way to get some attention! Both fashionable friend and foe are sure to have a bit of ring envy.

Jeggings, yes jeggings and if you haven't jumped on board with these yet, you are really missing out. Always a bit shy, I was unwilling to succumb to the super stretchy denim pant, until my mom gifted them to me. I am now a huge fan. They fit like a glove, but unlike other snug denim that often cut into you in all the wrong places, these are soft with give in all the right places. Currently I am clothed in Blank NYC black stretch with studs. Also available dark blue and black jeggings with strategically placed back pockets.

These are just a few of my favorite things...

*TwoSome Rings and Blank NYC Jeggings currently available at 4Sisters1Closet!

Hot Mama Fashion Drama

I was recently sent this email from a very old friend. As usually I was thrilled to share some of my fashion advice. The email read as follows.


D-

Since you are now the style person.... I have a question.....


Is white OK to wear in March down in FL. I feel like it's not ok up
here...but I kind of feel like white is always ok down there. Like a
white denim pant or something.

I currently own nothing that fits me...it's all too big for a

change...so I have to do some serious shopping before I come down

there in March. I have a few top options that may work...but really

need bottoms. Just trying to build outfits and not just buy a million things that

don't work together!

I'm not a huge dress person, but I'm going to see what I can find. I

just don't have too much time to spend shopping these days with my

crazy girls. Also, you thinking maxi dresses will still be in this year? Or out?

Had a cute one I could bring the wedding weekend. I feel like Florida
just seems to have thier own set of rules, you know!?!?!?

Let me know what you think fashionista.

A,


Thank you for consulting me for a fashion update. I know you are a busy mama and while you may have fashion on the brain, it doesn't seem to fit into your schedule. Here are a few tips to help make your shopping experience a bit more enjoyable.

As much as I love white pants on a skinny gal, that look should be saved for summer. I think it could brand you a bit touristy if you wear a pair in March. May I suggest a skinny denim. Something stretchy that hits right at the ankle. This way, you can show off a cute pair of sandals or ballet flats. My favorite pair of skinny jeans right now is J-Brand. They are affordable and have an awesome fit. If you want something lighter, they have a ton of different denim shades. Save your white pants for June, July and August.

I completely understand your desire to want to mix and match your wardrobe. It's really the only way to shop these days! Since you have some tops already, here are some ideas to update your look. Key pieces for me right now are little shrunken blazers and billowy cardigans. Since you were blessed with height you should try something a bit longer. Like a men's wear blazer. I literally throw a blazer on over everything from cocktail dresses to a T-shirt and jeans. If you already have a blazer and you want to purchase something new, may I suggest a leather jacket. Something thin and super soft in black of course! Look for a leather jacket that is simple, so you can wear it for the next twenty years! http://www.4sisters1closet.com/ has a great leather jacket by Blank NYC.

Now, on to the dresses. I love maxi dresses! I think they are always in for summer and tropical places like South Florida. For a wedding weekend in May, I think that would be a great look for during the day as well as a rehearsal dinner. A strapless or halter maxi is a nice way to show off your tan too!

Living up north, as we both do, we tend to forget about color. So keep your options open and try to incorporate some color into your looks. Any more questions feel free to ask. I hope this was helpful.

XOXO

Dana

Ray-Ban Fan

I am a big fan of sunglasses and a collector of many frames, but I must admit I fought the urge to jump on the Ray-Ban wagon. These shades, a big celeb fave, seemed to land on the faces of everyone all at once. Like leggings went from the legs of a select few fashionistas one day and on to the masses the next, Ray-Bans too had a similar affect. I do have a confession though... I was always a Ray-Ban fan, but I couldn't bare the thought of seeing my must have accessory in the hands of everyone else. You follow me?

Well problem solved. On a recent trip to my favorite sunglass shop in South Florida I was delighted to see the shades in a number of new colors and sizes. So delighted, I spent 2 hours picking out the perfect pair for each member of my fam for the holidays. Now these new styles are not for the fashion faint of heart. Some are shockingly bright, almost silly to say the least.

So, I do recognize that not everyone can or wants to rock a pair of neon yellow or blue shades thankfully there are other options. Try a camo green combo in a slightly larger frame. Still to wild? Opt for a dark blue pair. Very close to black but still a great way to transition into a more playful look. My personal pick? The two tone pair in purple and magenta.We were all sporting our shades on a recent vacay and I think we looked mighty fine.

Already own a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers? Try a pair of their plastic aviator shades. These are sure to take a place in your sunglass rotation. Have to wear perscription frames? No problem! My local shop will order the lenses in your script. Now there is no excuse. Still not convinced... Check out the pics from 4Sisters1Closet's look book shoot. We featured multiple colors and frames!

Want to order a pair of your own? Contact Robin at Flamingo Falls Eye Care, Pembroke Pines, FL. Tell her Dana sent you.

Q & A

Yesterday evening I was greeted with a message from an old friend entitled “Fashion Advice”, it read as follows...


Hey Dana!
We are coming to NY for Christmas and doing dinner out. I have no idea what to wear that will be warm but also sophisticated/sexy. Any advice for this warm weather native?

Winter in New York is a gal’s time to shine. Literally! The hottest trends for evening may be all about black, but there is always room for some sparkle. To get this season’s hottest look, put on a pair of black opaque tights. Wolford are my favorite. They look great on, provide enough warmth on a cold winter night and are durable! Shop for a jewel tone dress. I propose something short and clingy. The tights will allow you to show a bit more leg without feeling self conscious or looking too scandalous.

If you are dreaming of a more fashion forward look try a sequin dress or blazer a la Lauren Conrad. Not too keen on the all over look opt for a pair of black skinny jeans and an embellished blouse. Finish off this look with a shrunken blazer, one small enough to fit under a coat. Packing one pair of shoes for nighttime? Black leather booties are the answer. They are definitely more comfy then your stilettos and are still sexy!

To cover up your look a coat is essential, but don’t sweat perfection. Being a warm weather girl I favor warmth over style. Now if you are moving to NYC you should invest in a statement coat, but a weekend getaway is another thing. Most restaurants have coat check at the door which means few people will have the chance to see you all bundled up. If you decide to buy a new coat choose one that is heavy and falls below the knee in a dark color for obvious reasons. You will be happy you opted for the extra weight and length when you are dealing with freezing temperatures. Trust me! A full length coat will never be the most flattering option; if this is a concern select one that nips at the waist.

Finally, on to the accessories. A scarf this time of year is a must, so use this opportunity to have some fun. Try an animal print or a bright fuchsia if you are wearing all black. I tend to leave my scarf on once I am inside so make sure your scarf doesn’t clash with the rest of your outfit. If your look doesn’t have enough sparkle try a large cocktail ring or my favorite look right now a big statement necklace. Don’t be afraid to experiment with these new looks, but you shouldn’t try to pull off all of these trends at the same time. Think…. less is more.

Remember ladies in New York anything goes!

Team Edward and I am not talking about Twilight ladies

Every girl knows the importance of good makeup, whether we want to admit it or not. We’re all slaves to the mirror in the morning, I know I am. Every few months I have to restock. It was on the most recent trip to Bergdorf, where I went for replenishment that I met Edward. After gathering up my usual Khiel’s deodorant and Prescriptive Custom Blend foundation, I hesitantly asked the sales woman, you never know what another woman will suggest, “Can you recommend a great gloss?" To my surprise she said "May I suggest Edward Bess?”

I walked over to the counter and an attractive young man greeted me with a smile. It was Edward Bess himself. Now what is important about this story is that Edward is a mere 23 years old. An alumnus of the performing arts school responsible for the movie Fame, Edward told me he moved to NYC from the Carolinas. We also reminisced about Carowinds a theme park that borders both North and South Carolina a frequent stomping ground during my days at Pinewood a sleep away camp in NC. I found out all this info because, Edward was very chatty, sweet, approachable and of course complimentary. We bonded over facials since he complimented my skin. I told him I had just visited Mario Badescu, a favorite of his as well ( he recommends Leah).

Now onto the goods! As you can see from the photo above I did quite well with Edward. He suggested a pinky gloss for my pale complexion, "Love Always" that I have come to adore. It emphasizes the natural color of my lips and it really stays put. Meaning on my way out the door, I can take the last sip of coffee, kiss my hubby goodbye, and feel confident that I don’t need to reapply before my meeting. Next, I picked up some "All Over Seduction" in "Sunlight". It’s the type of product applied to cheek bones and eyelids that gives those Victoria Secret Models their perfect glow. How did he know I was already attempting to achieve this look with a combo of eye shadows and blushes? Lastly, I scooped up a mascara in black that has proved to be the perfect consistency for daily use. Not too thick nor to thin and not too seductive for day light if you know what I mean...

As you can tell I’m a big fan of Team Edward Bess. His products are only available at Bergdorf Goodman and remember when you go to visit, tell him Dana sent you!

XOXO,

Dana

A Call To Service

When asked in a recent interview what advice Oprah would give to women entering the work force she answered…

You should always aim to provide a service to people...

For me my love for clothing, accessories, and of course shoes is more then apparent to those who know me. But for those who do not, following my heart is what lead me to answer my call to service.

On a recent jaunt to South Florida I was enlisted for my first mission. My older sister Sara who is set to marry the man of her dreams in May was going to have to surrender half..... okay maybe 1/3rd of her closet. It is daunting, stressful even emotional at times. Luckily she had me at her service. The process was tedious and on occasion hilarious. Did she really used to wear that??

Not everyone has a sister who can help organize and refocus their wardrobe. Here are few ideas to help you get started on your closet.

-Think about the clothing you wear on a daily basis. For some this could be denim and t-shirts for others it could be suits and button down shirts, regardless move these pieces to the most accessible area in your closet. This allows quick picks in the morning it also keeps you from having to rummage through your entire wardrobe every time you dress for work.

-Gather all evening and "going out" attire and move to the back of your closet. These garments are usually made of more delicate fabrics and don't need to be shuffled through daily. By keeping them in a more protected area you will prolong their longevity.

- Remove all plastic from recently dry cleaned garments this will not only save space, but the plastic traps moisture which can damage fabric lastly remember check that your garment was cleaned properly.
