Practice What You Preach: 5-16-10

Not Just A Lovely Face is a site for fashionable women.  There is nothing stylish about someone who is all talk.  You've got to practice what you preach.


Here are some examples so that I can show you how I practice what I preach:

Here are two spring outfits from my closet, both incorporate the "blazing blazer" as discussed on May 6, 2010: Blazing Blazer Post


...and the Straw hat, as discussed May 7, 2010: The Straw Hat


The Orange blazer on the left was purchased this season at Loehmann's.  To find a store near you: http://www.loehmanns.com/


Both pairs of shoes are from Aldo: http://www.aldoshoes.com/
Pants are 7 For All Man Kind: http://www.7forallmankind.com/


The Cream colored blazer on the right was purchased this season at Banana Republic.  To purchase this blazer click here: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=45420&vid=1&pid=745988&scid=745988002


Both straw hats I made myself in a Millinery Blocking class.  Basic Millinery Courses are offered at the Fashion Institute of Technology for both enrolled students and continuing education students.  For more info: fitnyc.edu

And Last but not least, I took my own home fashion advice last week by making a small tweek in decor.  As discussed on May 5, 2010: (In The Know), I rearranged my books to make them more fashion-friendly to the eye.

This image inspired me to "color block" my books (and movies):

Here is the result: A simple subtle change, but I love the effect.
