Ahhhh, the closet. Your day begins and ends in this iconic space, so obviously the closet is one of the most important spaces to create when designing your home. How many times does a frustrating experience in the closet affect your mood?!? We are currently designing our family sanctuary with Houston Architect Todd Rice, and and designing an inspiring closet is high priority… Naturally it is easy for me to begin with one of the most important spaces, but least favorite spaces in my current home. Enjoy my journey of creativity and wish me luck as I negotiate the deal with my husband and architect- ha!

The key to making these colored prints work for you is keeping the rest of the look simple.

#1 Don’t overthink the complimenting pieces. Try white, grey, black and denim to pair with these pieces.

#2 Adorn minimally and keep the jewels simple.

#3 Keep the layers to a minimum, do not want to distract the look.

#4 A simple colored bag would pair perfectly with these pieces.

#5 Remember- the print is enough.

Rock the brights and do them right!

The key to confidence in your style comes from a collection of effortless basics. At the top of the list… A perfect white tee reigns as one of my personal faves I cannot live without! Collect them in every style from v-neck to scoop neck, slouchy to fitted- you name it, you need it. Find a tee you love within your budget and buy in multiples… Can never have too many.

A white tee is the best foundation for accessorizing with jewels, scarves and bags. This piece will play well with a jacket, under a sweater, a maxi skirt, cutoffs, denim, leggings and so much more… In my closet you may find the same tee in two different sizes and two or three of the exact same tee.

I am still going for the gold girls and see no signs of turning back. Gold is a classic neutral worth investing in… Not a trend. Love it or live without it, but I am definitely smitten with my recent acquisition of this gorgeous Brian Atwood Cassiane Gold Fringe Stiletto.

Gold is bold, embellished ankles are on my trend radar, and what girl doesn’t love the silhouette of a gorgeous stiletto!?!

•Gold is a neutral

•Embellished ankles are trending

•A platform at the ball of your foot can make all the difference

•Shoe inserts are lifesavers

When planning your look think about accessibility, comfort and occasion. What kind of bag and shoes will serve you best? A cross body so your hands are free to shop, drink and eat?

Risque Review | Heidi Klum American Music Awards

Heidi Klum in Gold Lace Alexandre Vaultier

Heidi Klum - absolutely stunning in this close up at 45th American Music Awards 2012. Love her hair and soft makeup, Heidi Klum is a natural beauty. Unfortunately, I am not won over by the length of the Alexandre Vaultier gold and sheer lace mini dress. This mini dress with a high slit gets a risqué review – the combination of the high slit AND a mini length is a little too brazen for my taste. But I am no supermodel, and it is the American Music Awards.

Maybe I am being too hard on this dress. Does she totally rock it or does the dress go too far?

{Haute Holidays} Peplum + Sequins + Bold Gold

, , , , , , , Leave a comment

Oh yes, the holidays are here and this means many reasons to get fancy! If you invested in the trends this year, here is inspiration to make them work for your holiday style… Peplum, Sequins and Gold are having a moment- Enjoy!

Peplum + Sequins + Bold Gold 

Alice + Olivia Peplum Top with Sequined Skirt | Tootsies Houston | Sara Lilas Photography

BLACK PEPLUM TOP

[Add Personality: Jeweled collar, fur, fab jacket, bold gold cuff]

[Companions: Fitted sequins, leather, jacquard, color, leopard - skirt or pants]

[Tip: Keep the look pulled in with something fitted + structured]

Alice + Olivia | Tootsies Houston | Sara Lilas Photography

SEQUINED MINI SKIRT

[Add Personality: A simple tight and bold clutch - great paired with sequins]

[Companions: A tee, a blazer, a turtleneck, off the shoulder sweater, leather, silk]

[Tip: Don't overdo the bling- stick to metals that blend well with the skirt]

Ashley Guidry in Alice + Olivia | Tootsies Houston | Sara Lilas Photography

[ Keep it Simple + Stylish Holiday Dressing Tips ]

1. Begin pulling pieces from your closet and putting them in a special section for holiday festivities. Rolling racks are tons of fun.

2. Play dress up and have fun making the pieces work in different ways. Find your best fitting pieces and work hard to style them many ways. I love trying on an outfit or two before I go to bed.

3. Try adding and subtracting accessories like jewelry, shoes, handbags, jackets, tights.

4. Although bling is nice, don’t overdo it… If you have bling in your outfit, make sure your look isn’t competing for attention. Balance

5. A 360 degree view – a plus when trying on looks.

6. If you need a new pair of shoes, buy smart, invest in a pair you will wear. Black patent is a classic investment.

Get Haute for the Holidays. xo Emily Arnim

Pencey Standard Long Sleeve Black White Maxi | Sold by: Southern Hippie

I am all over the long sleeve maxi dress this season (and next)… Absolutely adore the sleek and sophisticated silhouette.  From couture to contemporary, this trend is knocking at the door now and here to stay for Spring Summer ’13. The Pencey Standard Black and White Maxi Dress from Southern Hippie is amazing in every way– a modern, flattering, feminine look. Designers are dosing us with a wow factor by way of high slit up the leg or in the middle, an open back, or a little cleavage so you bare just the right amount of skin. Finish off this look with sleek straight hair, a sophisticated ponytail or a polished updo. Rock it and love it!

Zara Rhinestone Bib Necklace | Photo: Zara.com

Well ladies, here is a classic case of you snooze, you lose. In September I spotted this jewel in New York at Zara… the gem has not left my mind since. A bib necklace definitely stretches me out of my comfort zone, so finding the perfect bauble is essential! Bib necklaces either look amazing or distracting, there is a fine line. I am not prepared to splurge on this trend, so the Zara Rhinestone Bib Necklace is too good to be true… and now sold out. Bring it back Zara this bib rocks!

I Love Shoes Blogger in the Zara Rhinestone Necklace | Photo: I Love Shoes

Love the Zara Bib with a tee and blazer. I Love Shoes  totally rocks the look. Agree?

I would love to wear the Zara bib over a plain white tee. Poor Little It Girl keeps it simple and inspires me to as well.

Maybe Zara will bring the Rhinestone Bib Necklace back or perhaps I’ll find a new love. Until then…

{Golden Girl} All that Glitters

, , , , , , , Leave a comment

Gold Accessories hot for 2012

All that glitters in my world right now is Gold…. Loving it layered on for Fall. Start with the absolute best bronzer and layer with your favorite gold accessories. From a shining star, to a long tassel necklace, a lace-like cuff, or timeless aviators… Gold Glitters!

Start with your fave basics and accessorize with layers of gold for a freshened up style. Mix metals and do not worry about matching, it is totally acceptable to give your mixing a little freedom- just make sure you tie in the contrast in somehow. A few of my recent gold acquisitions…

Ray Ban Aviators with Gold Frame, Nude Ear Pieces and Silver Blue Gradient Lenses

{1} Love my timeless Ray Ban Metal Aviators because I can wear them with every color. If you can only have one pair of shades, these are fabulous and versatile! The gold framed aviators with silver blue gradient lenses make this pair perfectly transitional (and the perfect traveling companion). Aviators are classic, a smart investment.

Stella & Dot Gold Chantilly Lace Cuff

{2} A recent The Zoe Report put this fabulous Stella & Dot Gold Chantilly Cuff on blast comparing it to the couture Givenchy bracelet priced at over a grand. I had my eye on this piece a couple of weeks before, but the The Zoe Report sealed the deal for me and my bracelet came in this week. Love the iconic Rachel Zoe, and adore my new Stella & Dot cuff! Support your local Stella & Dot gal, she deserves it.

{3} The Tom Ford Gold Dust Bronzer is sheer radiant genius. Say no to the sun and yes to the perfect glow without the harmful rays. You may love a tan, but you won’t love the wrinkles later. Trish McEvoy, Bobbi Brown and Chanel make fabulous bronzers, but this Tom Ford Gold Dust takes the cake. I am in love with the product, the oversized case, the large mirror and the lush velvet sleeve. {read more from The Uptown Diary}

Love a Golden Girl.

Looking forward to meeting the fabulous Cornelia Guest at Tootsies Houston and finding out more about the woman behind the business of passion. I cannot help but admire a fashionable woman, with wonderful values who is living a life of passion.

Made of buttery soft faux leather and fine woven materials, Guest’s handbags feature a beautiful understated design, making them perfect for accessorizing a casual or elegant look.
