Date Night

A night on the town requires two things: a great dancing partner and killer accessories. Whether you have a little extra to spend or are on a tight budget you don't have to compromise on style. Below...2 different looks centered around the little black dress.






**Penny Pincher tip of the day: Save $$ by dusting off last years party dress and remixing it with fresh accessories.

Voting Is Fresh

Fashion and politics go hand in hand

When talking about showing support for your fav candidate,pins and bumper stickers are a thing of the past! Many of my friends are starting to have quite the collection of Barack Obama shirts to show their support. Below is a comprehensive guide to all things Obama... Enjoy!




for yo mama @ urbanoutfitters.com $24






pink and grey fresh shirt @ drannek.com $20

s-xl men's fit







barackwear.com $20




Barackwear.com features the largest variety of Obama tees I have seen. They carry women's and men's tees, tanks and hoodies in several colors. Also if your pooch is into politics...they have cute doggie tees also :-)




If you are looking for a more traditional look, I suggest you check out store.barackobama.com. They have a wide variety of classic women's and men's options.

Shoe of the Moment

The Gladiator
This spring/summer is all about the gladiator! My fav... The Sam Edelman "Ginger". Sold out online at Nordstrom,Zappos, and Nextag.com. The shoe works with almost any ensemble. For many, it replaced the now boring flip flop as the must have sandal for the season.


The alternative..The "Gilda" not as many bells and whistles but still a great shoe. It is available online at Nordstrom, piperlime and shoprobertson.com for around $85
If you don't have any variation of the gladiator in your closet, it's not too late!! I suggest you toot over to you local department store and try a pair on! My picks for the best selection of gladiators are Nordstrom, Steve Madden and Urban Outfitters.Bargain hunters should try Old Navy or gojane.com.

Hi Everyone!
I have been wanting to create a fashion blog for quite some time now. After much procrastination and a huge push from my friends, I am finally taking the big step..Look for info on the latest trends, what not to wear,celeb fashions and MUCH more. Lavishly Coordinated is more than my blog name...It's the beginning of my empire!
