three and a staple in many fashion lovers wardrobe. She makes our list of Haute

Just a few cute and simple silhouettes that would look great with pieces you currently have in your wardrobe. The small details make the simple silhouettes fresh, on trend, and yet classic enough that you wont be in rush to push them to the back of your closet come next season. Here's a clip of Rebecca's latest Fall collection for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. She does a great job layering garments, another great way to get more mileage out of your clothes. </div>

Brooklyn in the late 1990’s, it was still very Bohemian and the celebrity craze
had not hit yet, so you could see plenty of celebrities in the neighborhood
without anyone making a fuss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone
in Brooklyn just had crazy cool individual style and it was embraced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was design inspiration everywhere and I
could walk to Juniors to get cookies!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
do love the DMV, I guess it’s true that there is no place like home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love that DC is a smaller cosmopolitan city
that is easy to navigate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fashion
scene here is very small, and generally fashion people from Philadelphia,
Baltimore, D.C. and Virginia can network and collaborate since the cities are
so close together.</span></b><br />

clothes that do not fit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clothing should
not be too small or too large.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Necklines
should not gape, armholes should not be too tight or too low.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are wearing a fitted dress or skirt,
wrinkles across the hips means that the skirt is too tight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If a garment rides up as you walk, it is too
tight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Know how to dress for your body
shape, generally, if you are round you want to wear slimming and lengthening
silhouettes, and vice versa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Individuals should also know the tradition of dress, before they defy
convention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple things like properly
tying a necktie and bow tie, which skirt lengths to wear to formal, semi-formal
and cocktail events, proper shoe heel heights for certain occasions, etc.,
these are all important elements of dress and where the most common mistakes
are made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #404040; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 191;">A. I would definitely say my favorite period of reference for
fashion would be the 1960’s and 1970’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My aesthetic is very reminiscent of the 1960’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love mod looks and it shows up often in my
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am inspired often by pop art and
op art, and graphic prints, which were all relevant during this time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also love the silhouettes of the
1970’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like the simplicity of the
silhouettes and construction, with a bit of shock value, thrown in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that this was one of the more
adventurous decades of dress in that the beginning and end of the decade were
so different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the influence that
YSL had on the looks of this decade with incredible pant looks, the use of
women of color on the runway, safari looks, and the pant suit “Le Cigarette”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the 1970’s women were over the rebellious
look in fashion and were starting to dress a bit more feminine and streamlined
and definitely more glamorous by the end of the decade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Embarrassingly, I still look to Charlie’s
Angels and Pam Grier as fashion icons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><br />

Living in a city that has a steady stream of tourist I often cringe when viewing the attire of the average American female tourist. In their defense, I am almost certain that the garments that adorned their bodies were chosen in the name of comfort and ease. However, 85 percent of the time these items are atrociously ugly and ill fitting. I am determined to be, as the great Mahatma Gandhi stated, "the change I want to see in the world." Cheesy I know, but I would truly like to humbly offer a few helpful tips that should make packing for a fun vacation painless and chic.<br />

When packing for vacation it's easiest to stick with the essentials. Basics that are interchangeable are great. These items provide a fashionable polished look with little effort on your part. You can also satisfy your need for ease through the use of one piece outfits. These looks are a blank canvas for your favorite accessories and can be dressed up or down. One piece looks are also save space in your luggage. Think of selecting Maxi dresses, graphic shift dresses, jumpsuits, shirt dresses or rompers. All of these are great options.<br />
<br />
If selected wisely you can dress these pieces down during the day as you walk around and tour and in the evening when you opt to go to dinner or attend a show you can dress the same look up. <br />
For example you can pair a classic romper or jumpsuit with flats or sandals and a fedora during the day and dress it up with a statement necklace a cute wedge or heel for dinner and a show. Luckily there is something out there that appeals to each Hautetrenta's individual style. Here are a few options.<br />

The Shift shape though universally appealing, offers little in the way of movement or exciting design detail, so the addition of a fun and interesting print makes up the difference. I've selected a variety of sleeve lengths as I have learned that arms are an area of sensitivity for some women, luckily there are a variety of cute styles available in the market. </div>

I had a chance to catch up with Nanci a few weeks before she
presented her Eco Friendly Jewelry line Brazen Designs at Savannah's
Independent Designers Fashion Show during Savannah Fashion Week 2013. We sat
down over coffee as she agreed to answer a few questions about herself and her
line in the hopes of inspiring and empowering. Here is what she shared.</div>

<strong>Q</strong>. <strong>Antique to Chic is a great
motto. Do you gravitate to antiques in other areas of your life as far as
furnishing and clothes? <o:p></o:p></strong></div>

aspect, upcycle. Taking trash and making it treasure. <o:p></o:p></strong></div>

<strong>A. The 80's was my favorite decade. It was fun, the
music, the clothing, the big hair, the jewelry, and neon colors I loved it all.
I am a proud 80's baby.</strong></div>

I want people to know that recycling is important. I want them to look at something less than desirable and see past its obvious value. Whether it is a pile of chains, coke cans, pallets, whatever. There can be beauty in that object if you take the time to think about re purposing it and are creative. Looking past the surface value of things is always a great way to view the world. It also allows for spiritual growth when you look for the beauty in everything you encounter. I would also like to share that this experience has taught me to maintain a great attitude about things no matter what. My customers don't care that I have only had 5 minutes to set up my booth or that I got rained on or that its cold, no they want me to smile when I am engaged with them. Lastly I would like for everyone to be fabulous. </strong></span></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In our current celebrity obsessed culture the last thing I want
to do is contribute to the bombardment of images or media coverage of these overly sensationalized people into our daily lives. However, there is
something to be said for a woman who has successfully navigated the crazy Hollywood
world and managed to come out with her integrity intact. Tracee is a superb
choice to launch our latest Haute Trenta feature, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Haute Trenta Style Icon.</i></b>
Miss Ellis Ross is shamelessly 40 years young<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and
carving out her own way in the world. Where one may have been tempted to rest
on the achievements of a super star parent Tracee has a way of making you see
her sans “ Supreme”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why she’s haute?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> She also believes in speaking to the entire
woman. Her site <a href="http://traceeellisross.com/" target="_blank">traceeellisross.com</a> is a gem filled with fun and quirky YouTube
videos, editorial fashion shots, runway critiques and even TV and book reviews.
All of which are presented in a candid approachable manner. Tracee displays her
love of empowering women in one of her latest videos where she answers a few
reader questions. I LOVE HER. Check her out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tcXiRsAcVY" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am passionate about teaching women to shop within her budget . I truly believe the cultivation of a fabulous wardrobe is essential to every hautetrenta. However, there are times when one has to celebrate design just for design’s sake. There are few designers whose work truly move you. I have found such a designer in Jalan Sahba. Her <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>world travels and understanding of a wide variety of cultures is evident in her unique aesthetic . <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jalan’s superior eye and use of the best materials are evident in this Ophelia bag. This bag literally took my breath away. There is something trance inducing about its Italian embossed leather, architectural details, and amethyst horn closure. </span></div>

There are many ways to incorporate Spring Trends into your daily look. A new fun nail color can breathe life into a lack luster image. I am a huge fan of the pinks and corals this season. I have been bombarded with the message that orange is the new neutral for Spring. However, if you are not quite moved by the idea of facing the world in head to toe tangerine try some citrus fun on your finger tips. I am a life long lover of pink. I will proudly admit it has been my favorite color since the age of five. Say goodbye to the bubble gum/barbie pink of yesteryear and test one of these more modern sophisticated pinks available this spring. </div>

I love the cool blues and oceanic shades that are plentiful this time of year. These shades remind me of the relaxing St. Lucia holiday I have been planning ( A girl can dream can't she) Let these cool tones set a relaxed mood while you go about your weekly routine. If you work in a more conservative environment you can always opt for one of these colors for your pedicure and show your fun side on the weekend or after work hours. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Try to look past that last bit of unexpected frost most of
the nation has experienced and on the other end you will see spring! Yes it is
right around the corner. As we embark on this time of year where we experience
longer days, balmy evenings, and the shedding of winter layers. Cozy sweaters
begin to resemble constricting chrysalis from which we seek escape. Our toes
dream of playing peek- a- boo in a cute pair of peep toe pumps, knees and
elbows long to make a guest appearance in our daily wardrobe choices once
again. Luckily for you and I one of my favorite retailers is offering a variety
of on trend items at a very affordable price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Let’s have a look at ZARA’s interpretations of this spring’s trends.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Color Blocking is a trend that has been returning for the
last couple of seasons. Black is a great color option when color blocking
because it ups the chic factor and allows it to correlate with a basic wardrobe
and will provide the ability to mix and match with current wardrobe basics.Pairing black and white color block garments with brighter more traditional spring colors can add yet another layer of color blocking and showcase your personal style. I
would recommend spending a little more on this trend if it speaks to you. I do
feel it will a trend that posses staying power. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
A staple feminine design detail showed up in a big way in
this Spring's designer collections. <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2013RTW-GUCCI" target="_blank">GUCCI</a> showed a variety of oversized ruffle
sleeves in their collection. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Zara has made this trend very wearable with a
few ruffle additions to sleeves and hemlines. I know these looks will fit very comfortably
into anyones closet</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Calibri;">SHEER PANELS</span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Subtle sexy is the name of the game with this trend. The illusion of skin is a lot sexier than viewing the obvious chunks of flesh we are so often bombarded with in our present culture. Strategically placed sheer panels allow one to project a youthful image with out the fear of coming across as trashy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would argue to say in our culture the handbag becomes an extension
of many women’s arm right around junior high going into high school. It is an
essential element to every woman’s look. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have felt
naked if I make it out of the house without a handbag. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given its importance it’s only natural to want
to select the best your money can buy when choosing this daily companion. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

The purchase of a bag that makes your heart skip a beat
every time you look at it is very very possible if you keep a few things in
mind</div>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are looking for a bag that can be worn with almost everything in your wardrobe. This bag should enhance every outfit you wear it with. The selection of a classic silhouette and neutral color</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> will ensure your
handbag is a long term member of your wardrobe and with care will last for
years even decades depending on the bag. The selection of a Designer bag will ensure it retains its retail value over time
in order to provide the most ROI.</span></div>

<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.prettyandpoor.com/ppw.php" target="_blank">Price-Per-Wear-Calculator</a> </span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Use the price per wear calculations way of thinking. I have fallen victim to
the “Its only blank dollars” or “This handbag is on sale” While it may have
seemed like a deal at the time I also got what I paid for in regards to
quality. Not to mention being faced with the chore of purchasing a new sub par handbag every
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you have cultivated a
collection of neutral classic designer handbags you will be able to purchase a trendy
“ on sale “ bag from time to time with little consideration of its long term use
because it will then be a great purchase based on the same price per use
calculations</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now lets say you invest 500.00 into your dream<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>designer bag and you wear it 5 days a week for
six months because it’s a perfect fall/winter bag.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So you wear this fab
new bag 5 days a week , there are<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>4
weeks in a month</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>5x4 = 20 days<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>20 days each month You are going to wear it
for 6 months </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">20x6 = 120 wears in 6months.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <em><strong>The cost</strong></em> <strong><em>c</em></strong></span><strong><em>omes out to be $4.70 per wear
and you’ve only worn it for 6 months. And you absolutely LOVE the bag.<o:p></o:p></em></strong></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You can store it
safely in your closet and take it out and wear it for at least 5 or 6 more
fall/winters<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or you can resell it and
get close to the price you paid for it. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now lets have a look at the bargain trendy bag I found on
sale. Given my history, I will probably only wear the trendy sale handbag say 5 times. The sale price is $45.00 and I wear it 3 times this year and 2 times next year that is a
7.50 price per wear. Which in theory is a higher cost per wear than the
gorgeous designer bag that you were apprehensive about paying such a large lump
sum for. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now that we have
taken a look at the numbers what are we looking for in this bag? </span></div>

directly correlate with the price range for which you are looking to pay.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When faced with the challenge of saying goodbye to one of my
dear friends and mentors the dilemma of finding the
appropriate gift presented itself. What do you give as a gift that expresses your love but still
has a cool factor? She’s definitely a HauteTrenta. As a 30 something mom,
business owner, coaches wife, and mentor. Did I mention she manages to execute all of these roles
flawlessly? That being said she has more than earned a fab gift just for her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> So what did I want from this gift?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. Something that
appeals to her sense of style,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. Something that wont appeal to the kiddies or hubby (in
order for said gift to remain untarnished)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. Something to will simplify her busy life</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. Something to celebrate this next chapter of life</span></div>
<br />
This led me on a fabulous adventure through the blogsphere as I uncovered so many cool finds.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As stated on the Biography on bcbgmaxazriagroup.com </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Executive Officer Max Azria. In 1981, after eleven years of
designing a line of women's wear in his native Paris, Azria moved to the United
States and launched Jess, a series of new-concept retail boutiques offering hip
French fashion to American women. After years of success, Azria decided to
pursue his dream of launching a design house that spoke to the modern
woman-thus BCBGMAXAZRIA was born. Named for the French phrase bon chic, bon
genre, a Parisian slang meaning "good style, good attitude," the
brand embodies a true combination of European sophistication and American
spirit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I find the Azria’s designs to be continuously fresh, offering
up both on -trend and innovative looks. Tailoring is one of the designers strong
suits. He presents a variety of mix and match separates and youthful yet sophisticated dresses. His pieces are chicly cut and well tailored, collection after collection.
Ive highlighted some of my favorites from his website <a href="http://www.bcbgmaxazriagroup.com/">www.bcbgmaxazriagroup.com</a> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have strategically chosen looks that I feel will highlight or add to your Wardrobe Essentials. Each look has some classic feature yet makes a statement on its own, which will allow you to keep it in your collection of clothing for years to come. The choice of colors of several of the pieces are currently on trend but can be confidently worn during many springs to come or while vacationing in a warm climate, as bright colors are always appropriate in a hot climate. The trendier the item the more conscious I was of the price point. I hope these tips are helpful in your quest to remain Haute.</span></div>

essential wardrobe looks like. High on the list of must haves are a</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>perfectly tailored

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You should look for a seasonless wool blend material that
allows you to wear them comfortable throughout most of the year depending on
where you live. You want to be sure you shop for both a pair to wear with flats
and one with heels as the fit and length will vary considerably depending on
this factor. Depending on where you shop for these trousers you may be able to
take advantage of in house tailoring services if not I highly recommend taking
them to a tailor or even your neighborhood dry cleaners. A perfectly fitting
pant will lessen the grievances’ we women often have towards what "we" view as our body’s imperfections.
A great pair of tailored pants will surrender to our shape as opposed to us trying to shove the lower halves of ourselves into a one shape fits all mold, that garment designers must create in an effort to effectively mass produce clothing. </span></div>

Notice that each pant highlighted has a flat front detail. Flat front trousers as a rule work best for all body types. The flat front provides a smooth even surface,full coverage and doesn't add bulk like pleated fronts have a tendency to do. A flat front detail can be found in each pant silhouette. </div>

Deciding whether you would like a cuff on your wide leg trouser is completely a matter of preference. The cuff is there solely for aesthetic purposes. The wide leg silhouette can be worn by all body types. For those of us who wish to minimize full hips and thighs this is the go to silhouette. </div>

I highly recommend adding a cropped pant to your wardrobe because of the versatility it offers you. These pants can be worn with a slim heel, a stacked heel, or with flats. Crops are the ideal "flats pant" because they stop just shy of the ankle. You can always buy a full length trouser and have your seamstress crop them to fit "your" ideal length for a flat shoe, or you can bring your favorite flats along with you while shopping for a great pair of cropped pants.</div>

The perfect tailored black trouser can be worn to work, dressed up for a night of cocktails, dressed down with a trendy tee and crazy shoe or even a canvas sneaker on the weekend. </div>
