I get so excited to about styling and putting together holiday looks! It is the best time of the year to pull out some glitzy and glamorous pieces. A little fur and sparkle always goes well with snow :) Plus we are always looking for ways to be dressed up during the holidays, but not overdressed! I've got 2 great things here for ya ladies. First, the faux fur vest. You've seen me wear it before, and I can't get enough of it. This garment is functional and fashionable when it's 10 degrees outside (as it was when I did this photo shoot, lol.)
Second, you need a little blingy blingy this holiday. Remember all those 'right hand diamond' commercials. A little cheesy, but there a good point there. I don't always want to wear a big piece of statement jewelry, but I still want my jewelry to make a statement! So I got this perfectly subtle 'right hand ring' for such a style! Anjolee jewelry has the best selection of sparkle because you can customize pieces to be exactly what you want to fit your style. If rings aren't what your looking for I drool over their Riviera Necklace.
Can we have a moment for the box my ring came it. I literately gasp when I opened it and the ring had its very own little spot light to help it shine and sparkle when I saw it for the first time.

Do you go into panic mode every time you hear about or read "What's in trend this season..." Running through your closet inventory, having anxiety over the pieces you don't own. And then you already feel defeated not knowing where to go shopping for all of these 'in-trend' things! Well let's all take a breath, get grounded, and get back to reality!
Keeping up with all the fashion and style news is exhausting, I get it. Even as a professional I find it difficult to keep up, and end up going back to basics most of the time anyways. But what you might not realize is that you probably already own most of the 'must haves', it's just changing the way you wear them that keeps them current and up to date!
All styles provided by Wish Boutique.
1. Layer, layer, layer! Layers are always in trend, the more the better in some cases :) I'm sure you have a black tee and cotton cardigan, right? Just layer them up and add a splash of jewelry and you're instantly styled!
2. Put a scarf on it! Seriously, this accessory has transcended from being a trend to being a staple in every woman's wardrobe. Layering a scarf with almost anything you own will give you a 'pinteresty' outfit helping you to feel cute and current!
3. Texture can be tasteful. Great jewelry or little leather is a great contrast to cotton. A long metal necklace really pops against a smooth knit. And get yourself in some leather! Leather mixed with wool, cotton, or denim gives great contrast to any outfit. This will help you feel styled and 'trendy'.
Still confused, don't fret! Join me November 11th at Wish Boutique. I'll be providing personal styling, teaching you how to maximize your accessories, and more! Lite bites and give-aways will also be there for you to enjoy :)
Last weekend... I went shopping! Surprise, surprise, I know. And I'm sure it's not a huge shock that that I went with client Karin. She is my best shopping gal pal because she is always up for trying new looks and loves a pulled together outfit. {You can see previous shopping with client Karin here, she's a doll isn't she?!}
We went to none other than Wish Boutique in Rosemount, my new found love. It's that little shop where every cute cardigan, necklace, and scarf you've ever seen has probably come from. They carry unique and on trend pieces you won't find at the mall, and never knew you could get!
One huge trend this fall is the cozy cardigan and poncho. These are easy pieces to wear and fun to style. They give you that comfy fall style, with out the frumpy lady look. Remember comfy does not equal frumpy! Small boutiques and one of a kind shops are where you are going to find these cardigans and ponchos in unique colors, perfect fits, and great prices.
Here's what we scored at Wish!
Loving everything you see! I know, me too! Make sure to mark your calendar for NOVEMBER 11TH. Wish and Fashion Fix have a great big event planned for you. Details will come soon. You can expect give-aways, workshops, shopping and more! Follow us on facebook for future announcements:

You may already have guessed that I am a Mall of America die hard. I bob and weave through traffic of people, zip in and out of the best stores, and always score great style for clients. Most think I'm crazy, because not most people would say they LOVE the MOA. But I do! It's a one stop shop for every thing you need to be styled right!
My latest voyage was with Karin, a client I love and adore. Who you might remember from the Goodwill shopping trip, you can re-read that {here}! She wanted a chic look for fall, with easy accessories and great staples! We spent our time at the best stores that would score her this look. The Loft, Old Navy, Cotton On, H & M, etc. Too many great looks for one post, so here's a start :)
I know, I know, you are dying right! She is so cute and these outfits are fantastic. I did my thing, but really Karin's confidence radiates through her and she makes anything look good. So a few things:
1. Tune back in tomorrow for more looks styled and shopped on our travels to the MOA.
2. If you want to learn how to get that style confidence then you need to take the Styled Right Workshop by Fashion Fix. Dates, times, locations, and registration links are {here}.
3. If you want to get styled on an amazing shopping trip like this, visit the Fashion Fix website and learn more about becoming a client.
Until then, be a gal pal and share what you see. If you know someone who love style then share this post with them on facebook, twitter, or google + .

I love shopping!!! We'll, what I REALLY LOVE... is shopping with my clients. It makes my heart happy when I can show a woman how many options she has to feel confident and beautiful in endless styles. You know you've been there, you take one lap through a store and find nothing. Then you feel like there will never be anything that fits you, your body, or your style. That myth is dispelled when you shop with Fashion Fix. You'll learn how to shop the racks, try on great styles, and know what best pieces are worth coming home with you.
Meet my most recent client:
Lauren is 27, in between sizes, and starting a new job. She will be going from wearing a uniform everyday to dressing 'business casual'. She wants to make sure she is getting the most versatility from her wardrobe while staying in budget. Being able to go from work, to dinner, drinks, or any evening event is crucial. We went to Rosedale Center and got busy.
Umm... don't worry we went to many more store. But, we had so much success styling this lovely lady I had to split the pictures into two posts! Tune in tomorrow to see more of what we found for Lauren!
