Stop frustrating Heel Wedgies!

OK, I haven't worn long pants in months. But I have to say I'm looking forward to donning some of my favorite jeans. I bought the cutest clogs last year and found it so frustrating that the hem of my jeans would get bunched up in the back of my shoe. This also happened whenever I put on shoes with pants. Living in San Diego, I wore two types of shoes - basic flip flops and open toe shoes with heels that did not have a back. I could occasionally wear boots, but shock, did that without socks! Well here is the fashion fixer that was a top finalist in Oprah's search for the Next Big Idea, taa daa, Kix by Katie. I just ordered 3 packs. They come in 3 colors. Kix by Katie work by simply applying the lightweight, supportive strip to the inside back hemline of your pants. Acting like a "collar stay" for men's shirts, Kix by Katie adds a little extra weight and rigidity to the pant leg to keep it hanging nicely. Love these little fixes...one less frustration in the day so you can focus on what you need to.

SHOES with interchangeable tops!!!

WOW! bras with interchangeable straps can really up the fashion statement, but shoes really are the thing that most women can't resist.  So check this out.  Onesole offers you the choice of about 7 different soles and I can't even count how many tops they have.  They range from clog tops to monograms and collegiate emblems.  There are even US Post Office stamp inspired tops.  Of course I love the tops called strappies, of which there are 26 options to choose from.  The idea with onesole is that you change out the top of your shoe in a snap.  Can you imagine what it would be like to travel with ONE pair of shoes and a bunch of tops you just snap on to match each outfit?  Kind of like the idea of one bra and numerous straps. My travel bag is getting smaller!

Cleaning up the rear view & saying good-bye to California in my rear view

I have not abandoned the blog. We spent June getting moved and getting organized in Colorful Colorado (that's what the sign says when you enter the state from the west and north). July already! I had a wonderful 4th in Wyoming! Now that I have driven through Utah and Wyoming I understand why I have had so few bra strap sales in these states. You can go 100 miles without seeing a town, not like California. Beautiful though, I must say.

So I found another cool item I must talk about. It's the hip-T. It covers your assets and cleans up the rear view for everyone's viewing pleasure. When you bend over in those low rise jeans you don't want that thong (or God forbid, gasp, those granny panties) playing peek-a boo. The hip-T is basically a half tank with lace trim that covers where you need it.

Some Stars have a BOOTY that will make your eyes POP

Why does it seem that every gal I know has a cute round butt? They all complain that it's a pain to have this cute little butt. I always call them on it and say, "No way, you've skated through life for 35 years with people commenting on how cute your butt is. Do NOT tell me you are dissatisfied. I'm not buying it."Well, this is something I am buying, BOOTY POP Panties. Will my booty look as good as some of the stars who are now wearing this? I don't know but I'm going to find out.

New home and new Strappys website

It's a good thing I've learned to embrace change. I've been to Colorado twice in the past month to shop for a house. We picked one! Meanwhile I've been working across the internet with a designer to give Strappys a new look. Should be up in the next week! I'm very fortunate to have beautiful friends to model my product and to photograph it too. Kirsten is wearing the double row silver rhinestone bra straps. Note to self, it was snowing in Colorado yesterday while I was at a pool party. Wow, can I get use to that? They say that change can do you good. I'm sure you'll hear more on this subject.

10 to 1 Convertible Jewelry

My friends at Spin Daily came across this Bazner jewelry and did a video about it. It is a great accessory that can be worn as a necklace or bracelet but also as a headband, pony holder, anklet, belt, and more ways that I can't even remember - 10 ways! It comes in a variety of color combinations. I'm thinking that this is a great travel accessory for my trip to Cabo during spring break. If I feel like doing my hair, I have a great necklace. If I don't I have a great solution - headband or pony tail or bun. Either way, I'll be more pulled together thanks to Shaune Bazner, Designer.

Button Up with Bosom Button

I found the Bosom Button when I was featured alongside them in Smart Woman Magazine's Gift Guide. The Bosom Button is a functional accessory to minimize bosom exposure. OK, so those of you with cleavage know that it can sure be nice to have cleavage to expose. Some of us actually work at this - but, another topic for another day! Well, it isn't always classy or practical to let it all hang out. The Bosom Button is a simple pin made of Swarovski crystals or decorative stones. It's very simply a pretty pin that you don't have to hide. You just put it through your clothing where you need the "help". It works great for low cut tops, but also for wrap dresses, scarves and even missing buttons. Bosom Buttons can be ordered individually or as a three piece set.
