Whenever I am near a the kiddie shoe section at a store, I can't help but take a peek at the miniture shoe collections. I love how the little shoes follow the "big people" shoe trends ... it just cracks me up! While strolling through Target recently, here a few pairs that I found to be absolutely adorable:<br /><br /><a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000028134192&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">Toddler Girls' Xhilaration® Jacquetta Suede Fringe Boots - Fuchsia (also available in Brown), $19.99</a>.

Boutiques like Blue Dangles are a rare-find:: This store is packed with totally unique, fashion-forward clothes, accessories and shoes that you won't find anywhere else in town. Blue Dangles owner, Tracy Gruber, is passionate about fashion and about helping her clients look their best so it's completely understandable why Blue Dangles draws its clientele from all parts of Georgia. I love Tracy's philosophy behind her boutique:: <span style="font-style: italic;">“I want everyone that comes into my boutique to feel a warmth about their shopping experience. Each one of my customers is very special and unique, hence, I make it my focus to learn about their fashion sense, likes and concerns. Being able to match that with the beautiful merchandise allows every customer to obtain something just for them, not for everyone. I feel that my name is on every purchase and I want that woman to feel great and look great.</span>” And did I mention Blue Dangles is affordable? Most items are priced under $100 and there are plentiful styles for every age, body-type and budget. What's not to love about that?!<br /><br />In fact, I had the privilege of working with Blue Dangles and getting to know Tracy in recent weeks since the boutique outfitted all 14 models at Sunset on the Roof fashion show event that I hosted last night. I'm a huge fan...and am confident you'll soon be one too!<br /><br />Happy Shopping!<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-5771958661179600976?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-9190608594628682852009-09-28T12:49:00.000-07:002009-09-28T13:37:48.793-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=N1011BK"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 189px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SsEdJITQpzI/AAAAAAAAAgg/Zc6agd2S5fA/s200/Picture+85.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386618671996118834" border="0" /></a><br />I love Katherine <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Heigl's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">sophisticated</span> look during her appearance recently on Good Morning America. Katherine is wearing a <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/shirtstops/camisblouses/PRDOVR%7E17428/17428.jsp">J.Crew Silk Frances</a> ruffled blouse (I probably shouldn't admit this, but I found this exact blouse at the J.Crew Outlet for less than half the price last month!!) and a pearl/black ribbon necklace. I love this look...so classic and perfectly intertwining several trends of this fall season: ruffles, pearls and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">grosgrain</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ribboned</span> accessories. Though I cannot <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">vouch</span> that her necklace is the <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=N1011BK">Stella &amp; Dot Jenna Pearl and Ribbon Necklace</a>, it certainly looks identical to it! The Jenna Necklace (pictured below) is a phenomenal buy for this season. Priced at only $44, this necklace can be shortened to make a look like Katherine's or looks great worn long over a plain top or a little black dress.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=N1011BK"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 116px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SsEdiSS4QHI/AAAAAAAAAgo/cl3fno_3qWI/s200/Picture+87.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386619104175603826" border="0" /></a>I just love the styles of this season!<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-919060859462868285?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-1880782738740900062009-09-27T18:19:00.000-07:002009-09-27T18:40:33.274-07:00The Military Jacket is the "it" men's outer layer this Fall.

It's effortlessly chic paired with a long white tee or tank and either leggings or pencil-thin jeans. Layering on lots of necklaces and chains completes the look. Look for a jacket that is comfortable so you can easily move your arms around it (some stretch in the material is nice) and a longer cut, that will hit you around the hips or below if you plan to wear it with skinnies or leggings.<br />For a slouchier, more casual and warmer take on the Boyfriend Jacket, I love this wooly black one by <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/boyfriend-wooly-coat-free-people/vp/v=1/845524441849873.htm?folderID=2534374302090711&amp;fm=search-shopbysize">Free People</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sr6-YUz4o8I/AAAAAAAAAf4/6u52wbPVYw8/s1600-h/Picture+8.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 90px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sr6-YUz4o8I/AAAAAAAAAf4/6u52wbPVYw8/s200/Picture+8.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385951529494160322" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'm very impressed with <a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18497&amp;showBreadcrumb=false&amp;relatedItem=true">The Express Long Boyfriend Jacket</a>.

Bejeweled Bib's have been featured on runways everywhere as well as recently in Vogue and In Style Magazines. A Bib necklace looks fabulous paired with a simple tank/tee, jeans and cardigan/blazer as well as dressed up to the nines with a cocktail dress. I can't get enough of <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=N1017">Stella &amp; Dot's Natasha Embroidered Bib Necklace</a> and, thus, wasn't surprised when I found it featured in the October issue of InStyle Magazine!

I love how flats look with skinny jeans, worn either long or cuffed. The shorter dress and skirt styles of the season, as well as leggings, are perfect styles for sporting a cute pair of flats! Three must-have flat's this season is a patent pair, an animal print and a studed pair. Try a patent pair in a bold color to add some energy to any outfit. With a bright colored shoe, there's no need to accessorize with much else. I love <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=nglMO8u6UJU&amp;offerid=62418.10000111&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0">Boden</a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=nglMO8u6UJU&amp;bids=62418.10000111&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0" border="0" height="1" width="1" />'s Patent Trim Flat's ($108, pictured in Red) that come in a variety of fun colors, and are super comfy, too!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SrbdJ9JqWJI/AAAAAAAAAfA/Q8EYnfMyrYg/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SrbdJ9JqWJI/AAAAAAAAAfA/Q8EYnfMyrYg/s200/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383733567671654546" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br />As far as animal prints go, my picks are either a leopard print (since it goes with any thing and any color!)

Leggings are inexpensive, comfortable way to expand your wardrobe immediately. Invest in a pair of basic black, the most versatile and slimming color to wear. If you are okay with showing off your legs and think you'll wear leggings often, try another color such as gray, brown or ivory, such as the <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Alternative+Skinny+Leggings+in+Concrete/13286.html">Alternative Skinny Leggings in Gray from Lulu's</a> (pictured, $25) . This season, ankle-length leggings are the length to wear (as opposed to the calf-length's of past season's). Try wearing leggings under flouncey skirts, sweater dresses and oversized shirts and sweaters. Leggings paired with a long tunic or cardigan belted at the waist is an easy, stylish look that virtually every age woman can wear with confidence. Vertically every shoe style-- from flats to heels to boots--look great with leggings. I am loving some of the new leggings looks with detail added at the bottom, such as a zipper or buttons.

Though a bit difficult to put on and adjust at first, this little plastic gadget concealed my bra straps wonderfully and stayed in place all day. I recommend this bra solution as a <span style="font-style: italic;">much</span> less expensive alternative to investing in multiple styles of bras...and I so wish I had found it sooner! And with 6 "Strap Perfects" to a pack, I don't foresee myself having to buy a new racer back bra nor more "Strap Perfects" for quite a while...which frees up more of my clothing budget for "fun clothes," which always is happy news! :)<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-4385867054770366803?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-67974525166005837852009-09-07T19:41:00.000-07:002009-09-07T19:54:56.676-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SqXGx_FOfvI/AAAAAAAAAd4/pEF_moylzBc/s1600-h/Picture+84.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 173px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SqXGx_FOfvI/AAAAAAAAAd4/pEF_moylzBc/s200/Picture+84.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378923892013170418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=61227&amp;storeId=1&amp;catalogId=1&amp;langId=-1&amp;from=SR&amp;feat=sr"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 196px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SqXGY7e6adI/AAAAAAAAAdw/KK6vYhADT04/s200/Picture+83.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378923461550434770" border="0" /></a><br />Happy Labor Day!

Taylor Swift has been seen wearing her own swirly monogram (pictured, $242) by designer <a href="http://www.jenniferzeuner.com/">Jennifer Zeuner</a>. Halle Berry chose a sterling silver "H" necklace by designer <a href="http://www.jessicaelliot.com/">Jessica Elliot</a> ($72) while both Cindy Crawford (pictured wearing charms on the cover of the September Redbook) and Katherine Heigl wear gold vermeil stamped initial pendents by<a href="http://www.stelladot.com/editbylauren"> Stella &amp; Dot</a> (priced from $29). Get creative and wear your hubbie's/significant other's intials or your kid's initials. Pair initials with a birthstone (this is what Katherine Heigl did) or another charm. These necklaces are also an adorable gift for little girls...or a thoughtful present for a mom or grandmother!<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-8961497973942253153?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-1644521868414897662009-09-03T07:51:00.001-07:002009-09-03T08:24:59.551-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sp_eZrYOS-I/AAAAAAAAAdQ/9j0WCCJEIno/s1600-h/Picture+79.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 131px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sp_eZrYOS-I/AAAAAAAAAdQ/9j0WCCJEIno/s200/Picture+79.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377261012826082274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.janismurphy.cabionline.com"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 106px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sp_eZf-PlmI/AAAAAAAAAdI/Fcd8y0P6KMM/s200/Picture+78.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377261009764324962" border="0" /></a><br />As you shop for your Fall wardrobe, make sure you add a pair of black jeans to your list. Not only are this colored jeans so flattering on any figure (you can't find a more slimming color than black!!), but black jeans can easily be substituted for black pants this season, as a much more versatile counterpart to your wardrobe. I love that black jeans can easily be dressed up for a night on the town but easily transition to comfortable, laid back weekend-wear. Pair black jeans with whites and gray-tones for a crisp, wintery look or contrast with jewel-tones to add a pop of pizazz. I recently tried on a pair of <a href="http://www.janismurphy.cabionline.com/Fall2009/catalogue.html">Cabi black jeans</a> called the "Super Flare" that were oh-so-flattering and reasonably priced at $89 (pictured with purple blouse).

Bright colors are no longer just for springtime and summer! As fall approaches and you transition your wardrobe, be sure to keep out some of your bright-colored tees, tanks and accessories from the summer. Pinks, corals, tangerines, yellows, turquoise, purples and neon brights are all in fashion for Fall. These colors will act perfect layering pieces for the fall. For instance, layer a bright tank under a black or gray cardigan for a punch of color as the cooler weather approaches. Don't be afraid to mix up two or three colors in an outfit. Try unexpected color-combos to add a twist to your everyday look. Main point:: This is a great way to maximize <span style="font-style: italic;">what is already in your closet</span>! It's creative, fun and economical to experiment with ways to wear some of your favorite spring/summer wardrobe pieces into autumn.<br /><br />Pictured::<br /><ul><li><a href="http://www.ninewest.com/Dolly/3215838,default,pd.html?cgid=2915398&amp;itemNum=20">Nine West Dolly Flat </a>in Lt.

Why? It's the end of summer so the price-tags on most things white are being slashed. White jeans are one of the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">most essential</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> (in fact, they are Edit by Lauren's TOP 10 list!) wardrobe items you can own! And since white jeans are no longer limited to late spring and summer (thanks to the "new rules" of fashion) you can wear them with confidence throughout the Fall season! Try pairing your white jeans this Fall with purples and jewel-tones, chambray and denim for a more masculine, equestrian look (think Ralph Lauren) or with the Boho prints of the season. Mix it up by pairing white jeans with boots (even cowboy boots), peep toe heels or metallic flats. <i>This is the time to make an investment that will carry you through next year!</i> Take note that most in-store white jean selections are picked over by this point in the season, so your best luck at finding a variety of styles and sizes is to shop online. When shopping online, remember that white is a less forgiving color than blue denim, so you may need to go up a size or order a pair with stretch to leave some extra room in the waist, thighs and derriere. Tight and white are not a good combo! :)</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Some places to shop white denim sales: </span></span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

Skinny, wide and everything in-between is "in vogue" this season. Make sure that you have at least one great belt that wraps well around the small of your waist. Regardless of body type or size, this part of the waist is universally flattering to emphasize. Think outside the box when it comes to what you belt:: try belting tunics and oversized shirts, add a belt over jackets or cardigans, or accessorize a plain shift dress with a belt for a new look. A skinny belt even looks cool wrapped around a the "tails" neck-draped scarf. Stuck with basic black and brown belts in your closet? Experiment with metallic or unique colored belt to add that unexpected dimension to your outfit. Like I always say, accessories are the most inexpensive, simple way to immediately transform your wardrobe. With a few new accessories this season, including a new belt or two, you can quickly update your look using the clothes you already own.<div>Pictured: <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Ceres+Snakeskin+Belt/13918.html">The Ceres Snakeskin Belt</a> ($14), <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/High+Sierras+Belt+in+Grey/12865.html">The High Sierres Belt in Gray</a> ($17) and <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Beaded+Lariat+Tie+in+Gold+and+Blue/9377.html">The Braided Larlat Tie in Gold and Blue</a> ($11).

This one is gender-neutral, so all you gentlemen should keep on reading! I've recently discovered <span style="font-style: italic;">the best</span> Exfoliating Cream I have ever tried (and I have tried dozens over the years!): <a href="http://www.therapysystems.com/product.php?productid=131&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Micro Exfoliating Cream by Therapy Systems</a>. (Therapy Systems is a way- cool Skincare and Cosmetic Store in Nashville, TN.) I am convinced that regular exfoliation is a key ingredient in smooth, radiant, beautiful skin. This product is amazing!! Ladies, your makeup will apply smoother and your face will instantly look more luminous. Men, your shave will be much closer and smoother after using this exfoliating cream. At $48, it certainly isn't inexpensive, however, the cream is so concentrated that a jar should easily last a year. I love it when I find a product that gives professional results at home!<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-8617337574848024323?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-86525164383444264552009-08-17T08:35:00.000-07:002009-08-17T12:58:12.434-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Som2OzfsAUI/AAAAAAAAAag/nD0mIhHNVOU/s1600-h/Picture+42.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 138px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Som2OzfsAUI/AAAAAAAAAag/nD0mIhHNVOU/s320/Picture+42.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371024396073566530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A suit is one of the most essential items in a man's closet. It's also one of the common wardrobe mishaps for men. Here's a few pointers when it comes to wearing a suit with proper style:<br />1. The first place to look for proper fit is the shoulder. You want to make sure the shoulder of the suit does not extend past your own natural shoulder but that you have a full range of motion throughout the shoulder when the jacket is buttoned.<br />2. Most men wear their suit sleeves too long. The sleeve of your jacket should cover your wrist, not your hand. About a half-inch of shirt sleeve should show beneath that.<br />3. Don't be afraid to wear brown shoes with a navy suit. They are a chic alternative to black. In fact, a navy suit is the most essential suit you can own, since it looks great any time of year.<br />4. Wear ties only with dress shirts, not with sports shirts. Dress shirts are sized to one's neck and arm measurements. Sports shirts are sized S,M,L and XL and are generally meant to be worn unbuttoned without a tie. You want to make sure you can fit two fingers into your buttoned collar for comfort and proper fit.<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br />www.editbylauren.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-8652516438344426455?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-80025612805019531742009-08-16T09:20:00.000-07:002009-08-16T15:33:36.274-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SoiIXglN8vI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/1J6-NYBN_kY/s1600-h/Picture+4.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 158px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SoiIXglN8vI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/1J6-NYBN_kY/s200/Picture+4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370692493103723250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SoiIXQEUNbI/AAAAAAAAAaI/i1F0MfwKWJY/s1600-h/Picture+9.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 143px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SoiIXQEUNbI/AAAAAAAAAaI/i1F0MfwKWJY/s200/Picture+9.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370692488670754226" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Tunic is a classic Fall staple. Pair with slim pants, skinny-jeans or leggings, and cinch at the waist with a skinny or wide belt to custom-make a effortlessly stylish and comfortable tunic outfit. (Perfect for those <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">inevitable</span> "bloated-feeling" days! Also a great transitional maternity piece!)<br />Kohl's in currently carrying a line of cute tunics by Dana Buchman. I love the "gypsy" prints of both the pictured tunics...another fall trend!

I was in transit to Nashville where I am working this week (love it!). The Chambray Shirt is a trusty favorite that has made a comeback as an urban trendsetter this Fall. This classic shirt resembles denim but is soft and wearable. Layer it under a blazer, sweater or military style jacket. Pair it with cords, khakis or <span style="font-style: italic;">a darker pair </span>blue jeans (just make sure you stay away from pairing together same/similar shades of denim!!).<br />Check out: <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/MensBrowse/Men_Feature_Assortment/mensshopattheliquorstore/shirts/PRDOVR%7E84018/99101187417/ENE%7E1+2+3+22+4294967294+20%7E%7E%7E0%7E15%7Eall%7Emode+matchallany%7E%7E%7E%7E%7Echambray/84018.jsp">J.Crew's Vintage Chambray Utility Shirt</a> (available in several shades), the <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492712845&amp;PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446230051&amp;R=406217144672&amp;P_name=Rag+%26+Bone&amp;sid=1230BDF9F441&amp;ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474399545537&amp;bmUID=1250034702373">Rag &amp; Bone Chambray Sport Shirt at Saks</a> and the <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&amp;navAction=jump&amp;id=16415424&amp;search=true&amp;isProduct=true&amp;parentid=SEARCH+RESULTS&amp;color=91">Koto Chambray Western Shirt at Urban Outfitters</a> (currently on clearence!).<br /><br />Stylishly yours (from Nashvegas!),<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-4345678906591880473?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-55101284465924164062009-08-09T12:07:00.000-07:002009-08-09T12:32:50.242-07:00<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sn8jYiizKGI/AAAAAAAAAZg/nhdsChoH5Eg/s200/Picture+7.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368048185345517666" border="0" /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=R901BK"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 154px; height: 163px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sn8h_bGakmI/AAAAAAAAAZY/dSqNrxQGB_8/s200/Picture+6.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368046654339060322" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=N1002"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 129px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sn8hr9MpX4I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/U2EpkYjRrNo/s200/Picture+5.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368046319894617986" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=N1009S"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sn8ggyD7m3I/AAAAAAAAAZI/tf3XfDQhtyM/s200/Picture+3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368045028415085426" border="0" /></a><br />Just two more days to save 25% on four gorgeous pieces from Stella &amp; Dot's fabulous fall line!

Virtually everyone can find a shade of purple flattering on their individual skin-tone. I love pairing purple with blacks and grays. Try adding a touch of golden yellow or turquoise in a necklace, scarf or pair of shoes for an unexpected pop of color.

That's really good news for all of us who have already have a perfect black dress hanging in our closets...time to pull it out and re-wear with some updated accessories! Pairing your black dress with glam jewelry is totally hot this season. Think back to the deco style jewelry of the 30's: pave, rhinestones, pearls and lots of sparkle. (Pictured: <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=B816BK">Adrianne Chain Earrings ($39), </a><br /><a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=B816BK"> Claudette Pave Bracelet ($59)</a>, <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=B815S">Heirloom Deco Bracelet($89).</a> )Don't be afraid to pile on necklaces or bracelets for a layered look. In need of a little black dress? Check out Banana Republic's fabulous <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5023">new black dress collection</a> (<a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=41558&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=670817">BR Monogram Black Ruffle-Bib Dress</a>, $180, is pictured).

I just love it when a timeless wardrobe staple, such as the little black dress, becomes the investment-worthy "trend" of the season!<br /></div><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-5037516808496563492?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-22115304749807483622009-08-03T11:32:00.000-07:002009-08-03T11:43:52.861-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sncv4s1oztI/AAAAAAAAAYA/bGzy9gp-aSQ/s1600-h/Picture+22.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sncv4s1oztI/AAAAAAAAAYA/bGzy9gp-aSQ/s200/Picture+22.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365810132190547666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sncv4WaVtBI/AAAAAAAAAX4/WnUs9MLnBeg/s1600-h/Picture+21.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sncv4WaVtBI/AAAAAAAAAX4/WnUs9MLnBeg/s200/Picture+21.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365810126170469394" border="0" /></a><br />Since it's quite impossible to own <span style="font-style: italic;">too</span> many Polo shirts, this is the the time of year to stock up!

It is much more important to make sure the jeans fit well around the thigh and rear. </li><li>If the jeans have any stretch (look at the tag for 1-2% elastic), it's okay to purchase them a <i>bit</i> tighter than you would feel comfortable wearing, since they <i>will</i> stretch out.</li><li><i>Always</i> take your jeans home and wash them before getting them hemmed. Typically jeans will shrink in length from 1/2 inch to 1 inch...and you want to make sure they are shrunk <i>before</i> altering!</li><li>Request of your <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">tailor</span> to keep the original hem intact. If he/she doesn't understand or catch your drift, tell him/her to use the same color thread as used on other parts of the jean (usually gold).</li><li>To distress the bottom of your jeans after hemming, hold the bottom edge of the jean tight and rub with sandpaper or a nail file.</li></ul><div>Stylishly yours,</div><div>Lauren</div><div><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-1956177175682324188?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-354264148738764052009-07-25T10:39:00.000-07:002009-07-25T11:06:42.697-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=E808"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SmtItOram3I/AAAAAAAAAWg/6wtnt6FPfH0/s200/Picture+17.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362459723186215794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&amp;category%5Fname=top%5Fcasual&amp;product%5Fid=2065818132&amp;Page=1"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 124px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SmtIEu5ajMI/AAAAAAAAAWY/uw_GJFUP9yo/s200/Picture+16.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362459027460230338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.francescascollections.com/Apparel/Bottoms/PRD_21059/Beach+Escape+Skirt.jsp"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 179px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SmtHTYBw4nI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/gTGM8TOGw4I/s200/Picture+14.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362458179507642994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&amp;itemCount=60&amp;startValue=1&amp;selectedProductColor=&amp;sortby=&amp;id=16073454&amp;parentid=W_APP_DRESSES&amp;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&amp;navCount=78&amp;navAction=poppushpush&amp;color=&amp;pushId=W_APP_DRESSES&amp;popId=WOMENS_APPAREL&amp;prepushId="><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 106px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SmtG2b0sKfI/AAAAAAAAAWI/xdQT_aQtxOg/s200/Picture+12.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362457682310343154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.francescascollections.com/Accessories/Extras/PRD_3749/Double+Helix+Belt.jsp"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 104px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SmtGRd8SbyI/AAAAAAAAAWA/7-H0M8-SG_s/s200/Picture+11.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362457047223922466" border="0" /></a><br />If you haven't already noticed, the Bohemian look is one of the hottest trends of the moment. Inspired by gypsies, ethnic patterns and the '70s hippie scene, the boho trend is all about looking like you just threw on some clothes without thinking. African, Indian and Asian prints are combined with western pieces that allow you to mix and match clothes to create your own unique look. It's comfortable, earthy and feminine. To be a bohemian beauty, you'll need to put away those tight clothes. Skirts are the star of this fashion trend, so look for peasant or prairie skirts in solid colors (think whites/ivories, chocolates and teals) or ethnic-inspired prints, which you can wear with plain, fitted tanks and flip flops. If you're not into skirts, then pair your jeans with embroidered tops or floaty tunics. And don't worry about overdoing it - bohemian clothes look great with layered accessories so pile on some long necklaces, stones, turquoise and chunky bracelets, wrap a funky belt around your waist and step out in boots or beaded sandals.<br />Pictured:<br />Double Helix Belt by <a href="http://www.francescascollections.com/Accessories/Extras/PRD_3749/Double+Helix+Belt.jsp">Francesca's Collections</a> ($18).<br />Ecote Scarf Dress by <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&amp;itemCount=60&amp;startValue=1&amp;selectedProductColor=&amp;sortby=&amp;id=16073454&amp;parentid=W_APP_DRESSES&amp;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&amp;navCount=78&amp;navAction=poppushpush&amp;color=&amp;pushId=W_APP_DRESSES&amp;popId=WOMENS_APPAREL&amp;prepushId=">Urban Outfitters </a>($68).<br />Beach Escape White Skirt by <a href="http://www.francescascollections.com/Apparel/Bottoms/PRD_21059/Beach+Escape+Skirt.jsp">Francesca's Collections </a>($9.98).<br />Amber Printed Knit Tunic by <a href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&amp;category%5Fname=top%5Fcasual&amp;product%5Fid=2065818132&amp;Page=1">Forever 21</a> ($15.80).<br />Turquoise Sea Drop Earrings by<a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=E808"> Stella &amp; Dot</a> ($29).

If you live in an area of the country with mild-autumn temps, plan on flaunting your shorts right on through October! Wide Leg, Large-Pocket and Tie-Front shorts are everywhere now and are a flattering style on many body types. They look laid back with flats and ultra-sexy paired with heels or wedges. (Remember, adding a heel, or even a slight height to your shoe will make your bare legs appear longer and thinner...and who doesn't want that?!) As you transition into Fall, pair your shorts with blousy tops, long sleeve button-downs or simply throw on a fitted jacket over a tee and shorts outfit. <span style="font-style: italic;">Do</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> be afraid to tuck your shirt in...in fact, with the tie-waste short styles, you really <span style="font-style: italic;">need</span> to tuck that shirt in! Another benefit to shopping for shorts right now is that most shorts are starting to hit the sale racks! Brown, Navy, Black, Khaki and Dark Denim are your best bets for wearing through the fall. Here's a few pairs to peruse:<br />1. <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=375546&amp;CategoryID=37045">BCBGeneration Belted Utility-Pocket Shorts in Dark Chocolate </a>(were $78, now <span style="font-weight: bold;">$29.25</span>).<br />2. <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=376501&amp;CategoryID=37045">MICHAEL Michael Kors Cuffed Sailor Jean Shorts with Zipper Detailing in Dark Denim</a> (were $69.50, now <span style="font-weight: bold;">$39.09</span>).<br />3. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3058310?cm_cat=datafeed&amp;cm_pla=bottoms:women:short&amp;cm_ite=michael_michael_kors_belted_shorts:248653_1&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-ddRW2G44.KgwCriSvW83qA">MICHAEL Michael Kors Belted Shorts in British Khaki</a> (were $59.50, now <span style="font-weight: bold;">$38.90</span>).<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-5583747526843808892?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-84322096624331277622009-07-22T20:31:00.000-07:002009-07-22T20:44:01.626-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bumpits.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Smfb6pDK5xI/AAAAAAAAAVg/6ocilpXfNsw/s320/Picture+31.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361495681905911570" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I found a new hair accessory yesterday that I just <span style="font-style: italic;">had</span> to share with you, though I must admit it's difficult to take seriously! :) <a href="http://www.bumpits.com/">Bumpits Volumizing Inserts</a> are a brand-new way to achieve instant volume and lift in your hair.

The Anniversary Sale is like a "sale in reverse!" The store marks down brand new Fall merchandise store wide for 2 weeks (until August 2nd) and then raises the prices back to "original" pricing. How often is it that you can get brand-new items on drastic mark-downs?! (I am a huge fan of this concept and wish other stores would catch on to the novel idea!) If I were to post every impressive deal, this blog would take you days upon days to read...so I will just mention a few here. Make sure you make time to stroll through your local Nordstrom or browse online at <a href="http://www.nordstrom.com/">Nordstrom.com</a>.<br /><br />1. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3030369?Category=&amp;Search=True&amp;SearchType=keywordsearch&amp;keyword=dolce+vita+in+All+Categories&amp;origin=searchresults">The Dolce Vita 'Webber' Cuffed Bootie</a>, available in brown (pictured) and in black. $139.90, after sale: $209.95.<br />2. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3012669?Category=&amp;Search=True&amp;SearchType=keywordsearch&amp;keyword=cole+haan+penny+loafer+in+All+Categories&amp;origin=searchresults">The Cole Haan 'Howland' Penny Loafer</a> (my hubbies favorite shoes!). $89.90, after sale: $148.00.<br />3. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3038023?Category=&amp;Search=True&amp;SearchType=keywordsearch&amp;keyword=michael+kors+jet+set+sport+watch+in+All+Categories&amp;origin=searchresults">Michael Kors 'Jet Set Sport' Watch</a>. $119.90, after sale: $180.00.

Krista is a lovely gal and her store is full of incredible finds! As I have talked about Von Bergen with friends and locals to the area, I have realized how few people I know have ever stepped in the door at Von Bergen...and that is absolutely a shame! :) The boutique specializes in carrying <span style="font-style: italic;">unique</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">chic</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">sophisticated</span> dresses...from casual day/sun dresses to cocktail dresses to long gowns and formal wear. I love that if you buy a dress from Von Bergen, you know you won't be seeing anyone else wearing it! And the prices are surprisingly affordable, too, with plenty of selection well under $100! Currently, Von Bergen is having an awesome summer sale...lots and lots of cute, cute dresses for steals! The Fall Collection will be arriving in the next 3 weeks. It's definitely worth a trip...soon! Make sure you tell Krista Edit by Lauren referred you! :)<br /><br />Here's the store location and info:<br />Von Bergen Couture<br /><br />9700 Medlock Bridge Road, Suite 106 Duluth, GA 30097 (in the Regal Cinema/Garrison's shopping center on the corner of Medlock Bridge and State Bridge)<br /><br />Phone: (770) 497-8188<br /><br />Website: <a href="http://www.vonbergencouture.com/">www.vonbergencouture.com</a><br /><br />Boutique Hours:<br />Tuesday - Friday 11am to 6pm<br />Saturday 11am to 5pm<br />Closed Sunday and Monday<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-1382607834936135661?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-51008418927725601832009-07-14T06:15:00.001-07:002009-07-14T08:27:47.219-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SlyIGF8u9AI/AAAAAAAAATw/0dmXPufUXEE/s1600-h/Picture+16.png"><img style="float:left;

Madewell has been making quality denim goods since 1937 and was recently acquired by the J.Crew Corp. Last Spring, I discovered Madewell at the oh-s0-cool pilot store in SoHo, NYC and it was love at first sight! Fortunately for all of us, Madewell is currently expanding around the U.S. (just opened at Lenox Mall in Atlanta) and may be coming to a mall near you very soon. Madewell is focused on providing superior denim products and wardrobe basics such as tees, scarves, leather purses and jackets. I love the stylish simplicity of the store's line. I recently bought several of Madewell's v-neck boyfriend tee's (2 for $30!) and am obsessed with the fit and softness! Mark your calendars for July 15th, when Madewell will be launching it's new denim line, '37's jeans, priced at only $59.50 and available in 5 washes and one amazing skinny fit! To find a store, click <a href="http://www.madewell1937.com/2009/madewell_find_store.html">here</a>. Sorry, guys, Madewell is just for us women!<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br />www.editbylauren.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-2329823159474040002?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-29463637945076473762009-07-07T08:10:00.000-07:002009-07-07T08:20:22.043-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&amp;category%5Fname=dailyspecial&amp;product%5Fid=2053479798&amp;Page=1"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 93px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SlNnQBaHXzI/AAAAAAAAATY/8W-4II0YT8o/s200/Picture+42.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355737906827190066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&amp;category%5Fname=dailyspecial&amp;product%5Fid=2060707797&amp;Page=1"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SlNnP2O03vI/AAAAAAAAATQ/_HMgiaghRDw/s200/Picture+41.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355737903827050226" border="0" /></a><br />There's a super sale going on now online at Forever 21!

I was at a wedding over the weekend and saw all too many guys needing a reminder like this one: A man's socks should be matched to his <i>pants</i>, not his shoe. (Except when he is wearing jeans, then he can match the sock to the shoe.) Additionally, the color man's belt should <i>always</i> match his shoes. (I know, I know, this <i>should</i> be obvious...) Now you can thank me for saving you the embarrassment of mis-matching at your next social or work function. You're welcome in advance. :)<div><br /></div><div>Stylishly yours,</div><div>Lauren</div><div><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-851554375122308415?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-4602190923749152192009-06-27T17:07:00.000-07:002009-06-27T17:13:11.987-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/bags/PRDOVR%7E16996/16996.jsp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 194px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Ska1MNyoPfI/AAAAAAAAASE/tl6iVaeSrzA/s200/Picture+26.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352164428641484274" border="0" /></a><br />I really do adore this new bag from <a href="http://www.jcrew.com">J.Crew</a>: <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/bags/PRDOVR%7E16996/16996.jsp">The Campo Bag</a>. Love the shape and design. Love that it's one of those bags that will just get better with time. It's made from a special oiled leather that wears to a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind color depth, so the longer you carry it, the more beautiful it becomes. In my opinion, it's the perfect year-round handbag.<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-460219092374915219?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-69131536506506889612009-06-24T21:19:00.000-07:002009-06-24T21:34:34.410-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SkL-MEpu8BI/AAAAAAAAAR8/B3OkWqqcRxA/s1600-h/Picture+23.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SkL-MEpu8BI/AAAAAAAAAR8/B3OkWqqcRxA/s200/Picture+23.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351118790630240274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SkL-L6GMUSI/AAAAAAAAAR0/I6zJZx6xPbA/s1600-h/Picture+24.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SkL-L6GMUSI/AAAAAAAAAR0/I6zJZx6xPbA/s200/Picture+24.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351118787796816162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SkL-Lr0a5vI/AAAAAAAAARs/3fwOPMYZTC4/s1600-h/Picture+22.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SkL-Lr0a5vI/AAAAAAAAARs/3fwOPMYZTC4/s200/Picture+22.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351118783964178162" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I was running (almost literally) through Target today and couldn't help but notice the great scarf selection! It seems no matter how big a rush I am in while in <a href="http://www.target.com/">Target</a>, I always seem to make the time to browse the accessory and clothing displays. I was impressed by the colorful patterns and lightwight feel of these scarves...perfect for warm weather wear. Like I always say, scarves are an accessory that adds "instant chic" to any outfit. Consider throwing one over your tees and tanks this summer to add a punch of color to any outfit, no matter how casual.

The errands, the list making, the over-analyzing of which outfits to take haunts me until I am packed and on the plane. Even then, I inevitably still feel a twinge of fear that I forgot to pack something important. We all need fool proof ways to pack so that our minds can be a bit more carefree going into our vacations. After all, vacations are all about clearing our minds and relaxing, aren't they?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here’s some tips dressing like a queen, while packing like a pauper:</span><br />• Select <span style="font-weight: bold;">one guiding tone</span>, either brown or black. Plan all your outfits to match the tone you choose. This will eliminate the need for both a brown and black pair of shoes, belt and bag and immediately lessen your load.<br />• Pack <span style="font-weight: bold;">three pairs of shoe</span>--at most! All you really need for a trip are a pair of flats, a heel (or wedge) and a pair of tennis shoes. A metallic colored shoe serves as a stylish neutral that will complement any color scheme.<br />• Stick with <span style="font-weight: bold;">neutral, basic "bottoms</span>." Consider taking just a pair of denim jeans, white pants/jeans or khakis and a skirt. Then add twice the amount of shirts in the colors of your choice, which will serve to mix and match with your selected bottom pieces.<br />• Pack <span style="font-weight: bold;">one dress</span> that will take you from day into night. It’s ideal to take a simple cotton dress (or a currently stylish long maxi-dress). Such a dress weighs virtually nothing, won't wrinkle and looks great with either flats or heels. Play up your accessories and shoes for the evening.<br />• Take<span style="font-weight: bold;"> one layering piece</span>. No matter where you travel this summer, make sure you pack something to keep you warm on unexpectedly cool nights or on a chilly airplane. A denim jacket or a neutral cardigan will go over anything and pairs well with pants or a skirt/dress.<br />• Don't forget <span style="font-weight: bold;">a wrap</span>. Nothing looks more effortlessly stylish than a scarf. Scarves are the perfect travel companions since they are weightless and add a punch of pizzazz and color to any outfit. Pack one or two cheerful-colored scarves, perhaps one solid and one patterned. These will add a new dimension to your solid basics.<br />• Opt for just <span style="font-weight: bold;">one purse</span> and carry it with you on the plane. If you are planning for some dressier nights, pack a soft, compressible clutch in your luggage.<br />• <span style="font-weight: bold;">Simplify your jewelry</span>. Silver or gold go with pretty much everything, so select one metal tone for your trip and pack these five pieces: a stud earring (pearl or diamond), a hoop earring, bangle bracelets, a long chain necklace and a short necklace. Each of these pieces can mix and match and be dressed up or down.<br />• Most importantly, <span style="font-weight: bold;">think “mix and match”</span> as you pack. We all know part of the excitement on vacation can be (and should be!) getting dressed each day! The downside of packing light can seem to be not having a plentiful selection to choose from each day. But if you pack a good selection of basics and solid colors that all integrate with one another, you will feel that your vacation wardrobe is larger than it actually is.<br /> Now if I can just follow my own advice…<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 204, 204);">“The more you know, the less you need.” Aboriginal Saying<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(Article written by Lauren Lefevre for June 2009 issue of Northside Woman magazine.)<br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" ></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-726667488431153710?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-33488598539316614322009-06-12T21:59:00.000-07:002009-06-13T08:13:38.280-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000028216594&amp;pubid=21000000000204774"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 99px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SjM0d_g-fuI/AAAAAAAAAQE/O7rlUlS87VM/s200/Picture+9.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346674872489508578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000028216594&amp;pubid=21000000000204774"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 84px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SjM0d0ypKCI/AAAAAAAAAP8/oZVMmPoGmmg/s200/Picture+7.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346674869610817570" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000028216594&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">7 for All Mankind</a> kicked off its Summer Sale TODAY!

A few things to love (even though it's difficult to narrow it down to just a few!): <a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46835&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=689080">The Printed Chase Skort </a>($54) couldn't be cuter!<br /><a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46672&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=689504">The Dockside Dress </a>($69) is a totally practical swim cover-up that can easily double as a casual sun-dress. <a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46759&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=688931">The Teelicious Tank</a> ($39, available in lots of colors) is an uber-feminine, ultra-lightweight and comfy tank you'll want to live in all summer! Oh, and did I mention that Athleta offers a wide variety of sizes XXS thru XL, as well as Tall Sizes? Now there is no excuse not to be comfortable <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> stylish while working up a sweat! :)<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-7270595522952613227?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-45093219401769215142009-06-07T17:34:00.000-07:002009-06-07T17:46:49.136-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SixfSfVTP1I/AAAAAAAAAPE/ZpzSzygPQ-g/s1600-h/Picture+16.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SixfSfVTP1I/AAAAAAAAAPE/ZpzSzygPQ-g/s200/Picture+16.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344751629035061074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SixfSBlj_QI/AAAAAAAAAO8/g0xEMEs8vNU/s1600-h/Picture+14.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SixfSBlj_QI/AAAAAAAAAO8/g0xEMEs8vNU/s200/Picture+14.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344751621050203394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SixfR3Sr5JI/AAAAAAAAAO0/stewMUXYMx8/s1600-h/Picture+15.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 153px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SixfR3Sr5JI/AAAAAAAAAO0/stewMUXYMx8/s200/Picture+15.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344751618286675090" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.fossil.com/">Fossil</a> is carrying a way-cool line of men's leather watches.

I am not one to normally get excited about a one-<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">piece</span> of any sort...but I must say that these suits are tempting...and I can't imagine wearing anything more stylishly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">comfortable</span> while chasing kids around the pool or throwing a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Frisbee</span> on the beach.

Stella &amp; Dot is a fabulous line of jewelry out of LA that is super stylish, affordable and worn by top celebs such as Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz, Paris Hilton and Barbara Walters. You may have seen Stella &amp; Dot jewelry featured in magazines such as In Style, Lucky, Redbook or on TV shows such as the View and the Bachelorette. Stella &amp; Dot can be ordered directly from Edit's own Stella &amp; Dot website at <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog">www.stelladot.com/editbylauren</a>. One of the <span style="font-style: italic;">many</span> things I love about this jewelry is that it is shipped directly to either you or the person you are gifting with incredible speed...2-3 days max! Plus, each purchase comes with a lifetime replacement guarentee!<br /><br />Filigree Jewelry has become quite a fad this season. I have seen many stylists quoted as saying that every woman needs "something Filigree" in her jewelry box this Spring/Summer. In fact, the newest Bachelorette, Jillian, wore <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=E800G">Stella and Dot Jasmine Filigree Earrings</a> in her promo pics (pictured). These are a great substitute for classic hoops since they go with anything! I have these earrings myself and find myself wearing them all the time. Also to love is the<a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productdetail&amp;sku=N802G"> Jasmine Filigree Necklace,</a> which was recently featured in Redbook magazine. (Earrings and Necklace available in both gold and silver.)<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-4589147986776193972?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-72083336366260243462009-05-19T13:34:00.000-07:002009-05-19T13:52:31.797-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/ShMbp2cXNpI/AAAAAAAAAL4/w_ij9keM1c8/s1600-h/Picture+6.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 40px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/ShMbp2cXNpI/AAAAAAAAAL4/w_ij9keM1c8/s200/Picture+6.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337640389167232658" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.nordstrom.com/">Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale for Women and Kids</a> starts tomorrow, Wednesday May 20th!

I have recently found a fabulous, much more affordable alternative! (It feels a little strange to write a public blog post about undergarments...much less thongs...but I felt like I needed to share the wealth with my all lady friends!) I am loving my new <a href="http://www.target.com/gp/browse.html/192-8022133-2591448?node=1041790&amp;&amp;AFID=Performics_Edit%20Your%20Style,%20Edit%20Your%20Shopping&amp;LNM=Spend%20$50,%20Get%20Free%20Shipping%20in%20Womens%20At%20Target.com%20Through%208/1/09&amp;ref=tgt_adv_XASD3208">Gilligan &amp; O’Malley® Thong's from Target</a>. They look identical to Hanky Panky's and I personally like the fit even better...they appear perfectly smooth and seemlesss under clingy clothes. And the price is worth getting excited about: $4/pair!! (Online, many colors come as a 2-pack for $8.) Now you'll have to go online to view a picture, because while writing about this subject is just a tad awkward, posting a picture of this would be quite inappropriate! :)<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-7754290901804383653?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-75846065359360527512009-05-11T09:00:00.000-07:002009-05-11T10:00:08.967-07:00<form method="get" action="http://www.jdoqocy.com/interactive" target="_blank"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="600"><tbody></tbody><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="10%"><a href="http://www.jamesperse.com/browse/category/sub_category.jsp?navAction=jump&amp;navCount=0&amp;categoryId=cat330007&amp;viewAll=true&amp;utm_source=CJ&amp;utm_medium=Text&amp;utm_campaign=CJ"><img src="http://www.jamesperse.com/img/products/MLD3275_OLYS_L.jpg" alt="JAMES PERSE MEN Olympic Sulphur SHORT SLEEVE HIGH V-NECK T-Shirts" border="0" /></a></td><td valign="top"><br /><p><b><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></b></p><br /><input name="utm_campaign" value="CJ" type="hidden"><br /><input name="utm_medium" value="CJ" type="hidden"><br /><input name="utm_source" value="CSE" type="hidden"><br /><input name="pid" value="3421757" type="hidden"><br /><input name="aid" value="10574901" type="hidden"><br /><input name="url" value="http://www.jamesperse.com/men/short-sleeve-t-shirts/short-sleeve-high-v-neck/viewProduct.do?productId=prod230047&amp;utm_source=CJ&amp;utm_medium=Product_Catalog&amp;utm_campaign=CJ" type="hidden"><br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></form>Solid color, basic tee-shirts are the building blocks to every good wardrobe.

James Perse shirts are guaranteed to amaze you with their softness, fit and quality. A V-neck tee is a wardrobe essential for men this season.

If there is a stylish little-lady in your life, make sure her shoe collection is up-to-date this season with these two affordable styles, both from Target. I can't get over how absolutely adorable these are!! First, check out the <a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027928705&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">Circo Judith Gladiator Sandal </a>(pictured gold, but also available in hot pink), priced at only $14.99.

For now, I just wanted to pass along a great Mother's Day gift idea. Personalized charm necklaces are all the rage on the current jewelry-front right now. <a href="http://http//www.stelladot.com/sites/editbylauren/productcatalog?page=productlisting.category&amp;categoryId=17">Stella &amp; Dot's "Be in Love" Collection</a> offers a stunning, unique collection of necklaces and charms that mothers of any age are sure to enjoy for years to come. Any purchase from <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/editbylauren">Stella &amp; Dot</a> comes packaged in an adorable box and ready to present...and can be shipped directly to anyone! Orders placed by end of the day today, May 4, are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">guaranteed</span> by Mothers Day.<div><br /></div><div>Tips on creating your custom <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">piece</span>: Select a necklace base from either a gold or silver chain or bangle or a leather cord. Next, mix and match any of charms: birthstones, initials, words or symbols. Edit by Lauren's suggestion for this Mother's Day: Select the "Mother" word charm and pair with either the initial(s) of the names of her children or the birthstones of her kids. Or pair the "Mother" charm with simply a symbol (such as a heart or cross) with a gemstone of choice. At least three charms are preferable look-wise!

I firmly believe that it is better to own just one or two pairs of well-made, flattering jeans rather than dozens of mediocre pairs. I am often asked what are my favorite jeans for guys. Of course, I can't answer that question universally, due to differing body types and personal styles, but here's a pair that fit many guys (including my husband and brother) very well. I like this basic men's jean from Seven called <a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027404586&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">Relaxed in Los Feliz</a> due to its relaxed-leg, medium wash (that goes with anything) and the bit of stretch in the fabric that "hugs" just the right places and prevent the jeans from becoming too slouchy. Seven is currently offering free shipping on all orders when you click <a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027404586&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">here</a>.<br /><br />Stylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="www.editbylauren.com">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-5509567821154067128?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-74757361849038663782009-04-30T07:17:00.000-07:002009-04-30T07:35:17.122-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027928714&amp;pubid=21000000000204774"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/Sfm1IQ2Y67I/AAAAAAAAAJA/gqMTQ-x_35I/s200/Picture+14.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330490787536366514" border="0" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">In case you haven't already heard, there is a wonderful new "invention" in the world of women's athletic wear: the cardio skort!

I personally have found this new skort much more comfortable than running shorts...I have tested it out in running, walking and even in spin class! I must warn you, however, that until this trend catches on across the public at large, it will seem that everyone asks you if you are playing tennis, thus mistaking the skort for a tennis skirt! :)</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Two to try: Target carries a few skorts made by Champion (both of my skorts are from Target) like this </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027928714&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">C9 by Champion® Basic Run Skort</a> (pictured and priced at $19.99).

I am a huge advocate of sunscreen...and especially slathering a high level of SPF on my face. Unfortunately, we all know that the price to pay for preventing future wrinkles is giving up a present-day natural tan. Thus, I believe face bronzer is one of the greatest inventions of all time!! The best bronzer I have found is <a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027887069&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">Nars </a></span><span style="letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 18px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027887069&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">Laguna Bronzing Powder</a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000027887069&amp;pubid=21000000000204774"> . </a>(Thanks to my friend, Nicole, for turning me onto this product!)

Pocket-squares should be worn as just a small straight line peeking out of the pocket (as pictured). These are an easy, inexpensive way to add a pop of color to any suit. Don't be afraid to experiment with a bold color this spring and summer. <a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000000314407&amp;pubid=21000000000204774">Jos. A Banks</a> offers a silk pocket-square in 18 colors, for only $18/each.

I wore a Maxi today and was amazed by the comfort, as well as the ease of transitioning from daytime to night with a simple change of my shoes. Maxi dresses are flattering on pretty much all body types (unless you are very petite/short, in which case the dress might appear to overtake you!)...and I think they are particularly flattering showcasing the baby-bump of pregnant women!

Until recently, we were left without many (if any) chic alternatives to the unisex, utilitarian laptop carrier.

My answer to this question is a resounding YES!! In fact, cowboy boots are on Edit's "Top Ten Must Haves for Every Wardrobe" List! In my opinion, cowboy boots are classic, timeless and a year-round staple, for both men and women. Rule of thumb when picking out boots: more authentic is better (i.e. try to buy from a western store rather than a department store) and a brown tone is most versatile, since you can wear with any tone of brown as well as black. In fact, I will be sporting my trusty boots tomorrow in a photo shoot! Yee-haw!<div><br /></div><div>(Pictured boot is a <a href="http://www.bootbay.com/bootbay/product.asp?dept_id=7130&amp;pf_id=PAAAIABGKCNDHFEG&amp;mybuyscid=3862077303">Women's Western Ariat Boot</a> priced at $128 on <a href="http://www.bootbay.com">Bootbay.com)</a><br /><div><br /></div><div>Stylishly yours,</div><div>Lauren</div><div><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com">www.editbylauren.com</a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-5751220410013266721?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-47731760921811759282009-04-14T12:45:00.000-07:002009-04-14T13:00:08.863-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SeTqrdU5Z8I/AAAAAAAAAHY/TgVGDH42knI/s1600-h/Picture+4.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SeTqrdU5Z8I/AAAAAAAAAHY/TgVGDH42knI/s200/Picture+4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324638691786319810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SeTqrVG64LI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/_VKYGhY-amU/s1600-h/Picture+3.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 196px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SeTqrVG64LI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/_VKYGhY-amU/s200/Picture+3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324638689580212402" border="0" /></a><br />Head over to <a href="http://www.piperlime.com">Piperlime.com</a> and enjoy<span style="font-weight: bold;"> 20% off shoes and handbags, plus free shipping and free returns.</span> That's hard to beat!

(Or for women to surprise their special someone with a fabulous gift!) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">This weekend (Friday, April 10-Sunday, April 12), Jos. A. Bank is offering "Buy 1, Get 2 Free" on all Mens Clothes</span>...on everything except for shoes!! I can't think of a better deal. Although Jos. A. Bank has plentiful store locations nationwide, for the best selection during a huge sale like this, shop online. Another perk to shopping online is<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"> free shipping on all orders over $175.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Click on the green/black link box above for details on this sale</span>. My top pick at Jos. A. Bank? The Tailored-Fit Traveler Dress Shirt. This shirt is literally wrinkle-free and was rated "best overall wrinkle-free shirt" by the Wall Street Journal. The slimmer, tailor-fit is a more modern cut that looks great tucked into dress pants, khakis or jeans.<div><br /></div><div>Happy shopping!</div><div>Lauren</div><div><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-2123692528459897538?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282736178523970928.post-1256972059820502122009-04-08T05:35:00.000-07:002009-04-08T05:57:12.074-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SdycwdCUwhI/AAAAAAAAAG4/YIihu69NCV8/s1600-h/Picture+6.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 158px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2Kcf1DUwH98/SdycwdCUwhI/AAAAAAAAAG4/YIihu69NCV8/s200/Picture+6.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322301215887114770" border="0" /></a><br /><br />At first thought, it might seem strange that the newest "must-have" fashion accessory, for both men and women, is laundry detergent! But when you really think about it, shouldn't taking care of your clothes and keeping them looking their best be an in-style priority? <a href="http://tide.com/en-US/product/tide-total-care.jspx?ms=true&amp;gclid=CKLN14Ko4ZkCFQWfnAoduk8EWQ">Tide Total Care </a>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">TTC</span>) is making a giant splash in the fashion world. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">TTC</span> claims to stop the "7 signs of aging" of your clothes by cleaning thoroughly, protecting color, preserving shape, maintaining finish, enhancing softness, preventing pills and fighting stains. I have been testing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">TTC</span> on my laundry for the past month and my initial perception is that its <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">citrusy</span> smell is wonderfully fresh. Talk of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">TTC</span> is current a buzz in the fashion world. For instance, last month, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">TTC</span> announced a marketing partnership with The Limited apparel chain, adding to a relationship it already had with Ann Taylor Loft stores. Additionally, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">TTC</span> has its own fashion maven, "Project Runway" host Tim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Gunn</span>. In an online video for Tide, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Gunn</span> says, "If your clothes don't look their best, you don't either." I couldn't agree more.<br /><br />Oh, and if you are the skeptical type, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">TTC</span> is offering a money-back <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">guarantee</span>.

Incorporating some colorful checkered patterns into your wardrobe is a must for style-seeking men this Spring. The best bets to try are a gingham shirt or tie, both are versatile enough to look good dressed up or down. Pictured is a handsome green and navy check woven silk <a href="http://www.nordstrom.com/">Nordstrom</a>-brand tie (How great would this tie look for Easter Sunday or an outdoor Spring wedding?) and a <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/">Banana Republic</a> light gray slim fit checkered dress shirt, that would look great for the office or tucked into jeans for an easy-going weekend ensemble. Keep in mind: Don't mix checkered patterns whatever you do! One gingham print per outfit is plenty! :)<br /><br />Sylishly yours,<br />Lauren<br /><a href="http://www.editbylauren.com/">www.editbylauren.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4282736178523970928-5543637558623022147?l=editbylauren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edit by Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828464987794351612noreply@blogger.com2
