Weekend Has Arrived.
The weekend is here, and while there are many of us that like to take it easy, there is also many of us that like to hit the weekend full force ahead. Whether you are chasing after kids, running errands, having a date night, or are meeting up with the girls, most of us still like to put some thought into what we will be wearing. Here are some thoughts to get your wheels turning when picking out some outfits of your own this weekend for whatever it is that you may, or may not, be doing.

Who said Bows were just for the hair?
Though it is the Bows that are "in" right now, you can still pick something, anything that you want, to make your own statment. Whether it be a locket, key, intial, etc., you can wear whatever it is that fits your taste, and create an "in style" of your own. I do have to say though that I for one, am diggin' the Bows!

Make a Statment with your Necklace.
Necklaces can always add some extra style to your outfit, though sometimes less is more. This season however, more seems to be what's in. If you are not the type to go too bold with the jewelry, there are still some great necklaces that you can wear which are simple yet still attract the eye. The great thing about necklaces is that they are great with many styles, and they can often "dress up" casual wear. So, if your lifestyle consists of more casual outfits right now, put on a great necklace and be on your way....in style!

It's All About Balance
Part of loving how you look really does come from how you feel within. If you are having a day that you feel great on the inside it always shows on the outside. The reverse has the same effect as well. The are many reasons in which our moods can change. This thing called life tends to have some great highs and some really awful lows. It is none-the-less LIFE and precious at that. Keeping a good balance in your life is definitely a way to help ensure more of those mornings that you wake up, feel great and have a positive outlook on your new day. It is amazing how much better we take care of ourselves, and those around us, when we are happy on the inside. Taking care of our bodies is just one of many ways to instill some balance in our daily routines. Drinking lots of H2O, eating well (definitely not saying you shouldn't enjoy that chocolate or cheese cake here and there), exercising and spending time with positive people,who make us happy, are all good things for our bodies and minds. Taking time once a month to get a massage, pedicure, facial or even an eyebrow wax ($7-$15), is a great thing to do for yourself and sort of put yourself back in reset mode, especially if you are chasing after kids all the time (better known as mommy mode), working long hours, commuting much of the time, etc. My point being, that when you create a balance in your life to take care of yourself, it not only keeps you feeling good about yourself but it also builds confidence. Who doesn't take extra time with their make up, picking out an outfit, or trying something new with their hair when they are just feeling fabulous? Yes, we all have those days that, let's face it, just suck, but why not have more of those days where we do feel fabulous! Creating an overall balance in your lifestyle is an important way to keep that happiness and beauty that come from within.

Finding the Perfect jeans
We have all gone through those awful dressing room moments of frustration due to not being able to find a pair of flattering jeans that we love. Searching for those perfect fitting jeans can feel so discouraging. Here are a couple of tips to help when shopping for those awsome fitting, figure flattering, desired jeans.
Be true to the fit and size you are. It is so important to have a pair of denims that fit nicely all over: waist, butt, thighs and style of the pair. Don't compromise one area just because another has a nice fit. A couple of great web sites that will help customize your fit and guide you to that perfect brand for your body are http://www.zafu.com/ and http://www.lovemyjeans.com/.
Remember that alterations to bring in the waist, or take up the length are pretty inexpensive. Most dry cleaners or local alteration shops usually charge $5 to $20 for the service. Definitely worth it if you find that right pair of jeans.
The Style is important. Boot cut, Straight leg, Slight flare, Flare, etc., all have different ways in flattering different shapes, heights, and weights.
Age appropriate is important too. A couple of great styles for late 20's,30's,and 40's are the Straight leg, or the Relaxed trouser (great for the office or events-jean appropriate ). Also, less is more so basically no, or not so much of, decoration or "bells and whistles" on the denims.
Extra tips: Boot cuts tend to flatter heights 5'4'' and taller, pockets on the butt and jeans that fall at your waist line help to create a butt for you, pointed shoes will make your legs appear longer where as a rounded tip will minimize them, and the Skinny jean tends to create some curve on those straight figures. Much more info on those sites listed above.
*When you do find that perfect jean it is wise to buy two pairs; one to wear with your heels, and one to wear with your flats.
