The keys to style

Here it is from my perspective, from being in the industry, observing style and also developing my own personal sense of fashion, the keys to style:

1. Mix it up: Wear vintage, new contemporary styles, designer labels and budget fashion.

2. Know when to splurge and when to save. Splurge on a fabulous Marchesa dress, save on tees and basics. Why pay $500 for a basic trench when you could get it at the GAP for $50, save your money for the amazing pieces that will last.

3. Wear hats, belts, jewelry, scarves, headbands, shoulder bags, clutches and all accessories. Always have an assortment of accessories and incredible jewelry pieces to dress up your outfit. It is essential to think of the past in the sense of dressing, the “hats, and gloves and jewels rule”, to never leave the house without your earrings on.

4. Purchase skirts, dresses, pants, blouses, jackets, slacks, denim and all styles, don’t limit yourself. It is great to try new looks.

5. When it doubt, just throw on heels, they always make you look sophisticated!
