Warren Buffets Advice on the Debt Crisis

Warren Buffets Advice on the Debt Crisis

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC,
offers one of the best quotes I've heard in all this
drama about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC.
"You just pass a law that says that anytime there is
a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members
of Congress are ineligible for re-election."

K.DiResta Designs- My Last Purchase-- Cool Ring

K.DiResta Designs- My Last Purchase-- Cool Ring

Kathleen DiResta is a jewelry designer who uses metal and geometric shapes to create beautiful pieces of art. This weekend while attending one of Kathleen's jewelry shows I bought this beautiful ring that is actually two pieces. It is made of brass and sterling silver which gives a super cool, two tone effect. This ring is funky and cool because you can wear it many different ways. Here were my three favorites, but I am sure you guys can come up with many other ways. This ring comes in other variations as well such as; drops that inter-lock. Kathleen even had the idea of giving one half to a special loved one, and you keep the other half which I thought was rather cool as well. 

Check out Kathleen's website to see other cool designs that she has up her sleeve. 

Thanks K.DiResta Designs for a cool funky design that I will every day! :)

SUMMER-----> FALL!

SUMMER LOOK:

MY SUMMER LIFE JACKET- NOW CAN BE FALL TOO!

This necklace is GREAT! DLIST Magazine did an amazing job with styling this necklace to be a great statement while your hitting the beach, but want to add a little extra edge to your bikini. Even though this piece looks great for summer, I am bringing this piece into fall as well. These sexy leopard pants from Forever21 are amazing and the price is even better $17.80, with prints all over the fall runways how can anyone resist.  I think it these pants look great matched up with this lacey top as well from Forever 21 which is $13.80. The reason why "My Summer Life Jacket" will look great with this outfit is because of the white and wood accents it gives a feel of safari and adventure. Which I know my customer is always on the daring side!

Getting Excited for Fall

GETTING EXCITED FOR FALL

Even though it is only July 4 weekend, I am still getting excited for this Fall. The trends hot off the runway for this Fall makes me want to skip my tan and head straight for my booties. One of the trends that I love this fall is the wide-leg pant. We are seeing this pant in denim,wool, and more. I think one of the best things about this trend it is body conscious and flattering to all body types. I know, what you guys are thinking hey, I am short how can I wear a wide legged pant-- well.. there is a way! ADD A HEEL. It is the fastest way to not only create a the illusion of a longer leg, but it is slimming as well. 

Here is one of my favorite wide-legged pants for Fall

This Alice + Olivia pant is great! I love how it gives your leg a breather for once. We have been wearing the skinny  for the past couple of years, so I think our leg deserves a break. Here the cut of this pant not only flattering to the upper body but it draws your eye down so throw on a great pair of heels and hit the runway girlfriend!

Man Turban

THE MANLY MAN TURBAN

The manly turban was on the runway for this Fall, what do we think of this? The turban has been hitting the runway for the past couple of season that is for women of course. Starting with its hit in the Sex & the City movie 2 all the way through Bergdorf window displays or Luisa via Roma in Florence, Italy for this Spring. Can you guys see your boyfriend or husband wearing this look? Is it a culture barrier? What do you ladies think? A do or a don't?

The Sartorialist:Florence, Italy

The Sartorialist:Firenze, Italia

I love reading The Sartorialist's blog! There is always great photos, and he is always right on trend. He shot this photo in Florence, Italy (where my heart is) and I am adoring these pants. I think they look very casual chic with her gladiator sandals but I think even if she put some great wedges these pants would look GREAT! The only thing I am asking myself now is, WHERE CAN I BUY THEM?

Pirates of The Caribbean 4--- 3D

It must be movie week for me because this is the 2 movie I've seen in a week. (and I am lucky if I go twice a year usually) The Hollywood box office though this month is hitting us with some GREAT picks! Last night I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3D and it WAS AMAZING! I actually never saw a 3D movie before, yes I know, I am CRAZY I never saw Aviator but this was AMAZING! The graphics were INCREDIBLE. I will have to be a bit of a critic and say I still have my heart set on the first Pirates of the Caribbean, BUT the costumes and graphics in 4 wasn't far behind. What does everyone else think?
