What to Wear for Summer Parties

Summer is finally here! The warm summer sun and the cool breeze. What to do? Hit the beach, the resort, or throw a backyard beach theme party! I've been asked what what to wear when going out for a summer parties.... Well, there are many new styles and colors to choose from, this year. Of course no body wants to look or feel out of place, but like they say, it's always better to be over-dressed then under-dressed.

First of all, it's very important to wear something that you will feel comfortable, yet elegant. You don't want to feel dehydrated, sweaty, or irritable while your are meeting new people and friends. Any light weight materials will make you feel fresh and it's always better against your skin: Natural fibers such as Cotton, linen, and silk. Others could be cotton lace or anything sheer.

For colors, I'd say wear the colors that looks good on you! For example the colors for this season is white, this doesn't mean you have to wear white. How to choose what color looks better on you? Hold the color up next to your face. For prints, use the most concentrated colors on the prints. The colors should make your eyes stand out, brighten your skin color, healthier looking face, and most of all you should look fresh. But keep in mind, dark shades will make you warmer, to keep cool try to keep the color light or pastel.

Here are some image to get inspired from. Enjoy!

How to Find a Flattering Swim Suit

By Yogitha Ramamoorthy

When you hit the pool, the last thing you want to worry about is your swimsuit. Hiding under an oversized t-shirt or grandma's trunks can get sloppy. A swimsuit is the most difficult garment to shop for, as it confronts our body shape like no other garment does. It might seem that swimsuits do not allow you to hide anything. On the other hand, with the right kind of swimsuits, you can enhance or camouflage a lot.But how do you find the right kind of swimsuit?First do a body assessment. Find out your best features and understand what you need to highlight or hide. It isn't about how much skin you show but its all about how you show. The key is to create an illusion of a balanced figure.

Check it from all angles. Note the straps and the elastics in the legs - be especially choosy and fussy while selecting a swimsuit. The straps or the elastics should not dig into the skin. Generally suits with high necklines, built-in-bras or thick straps offer support and reduce digging in. Concealed under wires give a flawless and smooth appearance.Lift your arms up to check that the stretch is comfortable enough. The bottom of the swimsuit should not ride up. Try a size larger than you generally wear for a better fit. While trying, bend over, stand, sit, walk and assure that it is comfortable from all angles. Matte fabrics and dark hues are the most slimming.
What you wear on top of your swimsuit talks so much about your style as the swimsuit itself. A crisp, white unbuttoned shirt and a sarong at the waist is quite chic and cool. Wear your sarong low on the hip and opt for floral patterns. Accessorize it with a large, trendy bag or a pair of cool sandals. Just remember, your overall look should make you feel comfortable and sexy.

Ask Me In Any Colors

This is a sample color sheet I made for the dress Kira bought. We've been having lots of fun playing around with different color schemes to find her the right color dress she is looking for a wedding in the summer. It is always exciting to get a different end result. Kira responded back today and loved the green and yellow, and she has already found the perfect shoe to match her new dress. Ask me, in any colors :)

One of Those Days

I woke up this morning a little lost. I couldn’t understand why I felt so blank. I knew at some point while I was sleeping I was freezing and tried to warm myself, but it was too cold. Soon I realized the heat was off, and I knew exactly who did it. My husband. He gets so hot at night he usually turns off the heat before going to bed. He works at 4 in the morning every day and I would still be in bed alone and freezing. The cold is what usually wakes me up.

It was beautiful sunny morning, a bit windy. I forced myself out of bed, washed up, made breakfast and coffee. After I finish eating, I went into my studio and start working and nothing happened. I just sat there, staring into a bunch of white papers with a pen in my hand….Well, I told myself, “If you sit here long enough something will happen.” It did. A bird started cheeping outside my window very loudly.

Today is one of those days…….
