POSTS WITH TAG: how to wear it

    It was with great amusement that I read Rihanna's latest River Island clothing line was designed with her own "fat days" in mind. Hahahahahahaha! Only she (at a size 6) would consider a collection that includes hot pants and fishnets "fat day" wear. (Oh to be 20-something with a body like hers!) But it did get me thinking about how universal that feeling is. No matter what size you are, or what kind of shape you're in, some days you feel pretty and slim and others ... not so much.

    You know what "fat days" are, I'm sure ... those days when you feel extra frumpy and unlovely and bloated, whether it's because it's that special time of the month, or you've missed the gym (like say for the last four months), or you just overdid it all weekend. Lately, I've been feeling that way more days than not. But there are ways to pull yourself out of a fat-day slump. Here are my tricks and tips.

    Wow, look who's all grown up! Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May Jagger attended a charity event wearing an ultra sexy and chic dress with lacy "thigh panels."

    Wonder what her daddy would think of that dress?! If he were anything like my husband, he wouldn't have wanted Georgia May to leave the house ... but from a mommy POV, I think she looks gorgeous. And it doesn't really matter what any parents think, because at 21, Georgia is, after all, old enough to vote, drink, and pick her own clothes!

    I'm going to say a phrase, and you tell me your immediate response: Sweatpants with heels. Okay, did you throw up, or were you just confused? I think when I first heard that phrase, I was about 30 percent confused and 70 percent totally grossed out. These are two great things that should have nothing to do with each other. Sweats are all about sloppy comfort. Heels are about pain and glamor. I love them both -- but not together.

    That is, until I saw a few well-styled examples. Then I had to reconsider. Maybe it's just the really cold weather, but I'm starting to believe what sounds like a major fashion don't actually can work. There's something so-wrong-it's-right about the look. So let's go there. Here's how to rock a sexy pair of heels with cozy sweats.

    There are not a lot of things that can make me feel as instantly sexy as strapping on a pair of heels. It doesn’t matter what I’m wearing -- jeans, a cute skirt, a business suit -- the shoes always take the outfit up a notch and give me that extra bit of confidence in my appearance.

    Wearing heels makes me feel like a girl, and I like that feminine feeling. There’s just an extra little swing in my stride when I take a stroll in stilettos. Every step is purposeful, because let’s face it: When you’re walking in heels, there’s always a tiny part in the back of your brain that repeats “don’t trip, don’t trip” continuously.

    Duct tape is good for just about anything, from a fixing a leaking pipe to holding up your boobs in a backless dress to ... clothing!

    That's right, folks. In the latest episode of "I'll Take That Dare," I partnered with BFFs Leah and Mary from Fabulous on a Budget to create duct tape outfits, which we then wore out to an EXTREMELY fashion conscious location, The Grove, in LA.

    How did our radical new fashions go over? Check out the video and see for yourself ... after the jump!

    I clearly haven't been paying enough attention to the hairstyle fads out there to know that the top knot is a thing that all the gorgeous celebrities are sporting. Kim Kardashian wears it well and here's Beyonce walking through the airport looking flawless on her way to Art Basel Miami. Let's not discuss that floral romper just yet -- we're talking about hair here.

    I know there is a specific way to do the top knot -- just five easy steps! -- but I've been doing the top knot for a long time. In fact, I may have been doing it every night before I wash my face for as long as I can remember. It was never something that saw the light of day until ...

    Picture this: You're sitting at your desk, it's about midday, and you're engaged in an all out staring contest with a package of Fun Size Peanut M&Ms. Everything inside you is urging to pick up the package and devour the deliciously chocolate, nutty goodness but you can't help thinking, "Dang it. Another piece of chocolate and I'll never fit into my jeans." Truth be told, I'm going to eat the M&Ms, but the point of this matter is my jeans. My jeans, people. My snug, comfortable, dark denim jeans.

    They're my favorite pair. And they're also the pair I wear basically every day because they're the only pair that fit like I want them to: a little (ok! fine! a lot) of give through the hip, snug at the waist, and tight at the ankle. I wear these jeans religiously because I dread jean shopping. As a lady with a disproportionate figure, shopping for new denim is unbearable. I struggle (and cry) every time I go to the store.

    Do you feel like you’re caught in the rut of rolling out of bed, donning the "Mom Uniform" with a ponytail, and heading out to start your day? 

    I don’t! That's because I make a conscious effort not to get stuck in the "mom trap."

    Look, I’ve let go of lots of things: workouts with any regularity, my ability to have a glass of wine midday, my affinity for "me time." But I refuse to give up the glam! I don’t care if I’m at the park with my stilettos digging into rubber mulch -- I simply won't let my style go (it’s all I have left!).  

    And in that spirit, this week on The Jenny Isenman Show, I’m the expert. Watch after the jump and I’ll share a couple of my favorite tips for going from forgettable to fabulous, like:

    How to make your knockers knock-outs. How to make your mane magnificent. How to emphasize your eyes. Read More

    Well guys, Kim Kardashian is back at it and this time she's shouting out her love of faux fur from the rooftops in promoting the new Kardashian Kollection line. The reality TV diva says she's crazy about the look and thinks the "cute, warmer pieces are perfect for the colder months." We've got to hand it to her -- she's right.

    Her shameless plug for publicity for the Kardashian Kollection aside, Kim is on to something with this one, y'all. Fake fur is a safe, inexpensive, and glamorous alternative to wearing real fur (and of course it's a whole lot nicer to the animals). But going out in fur is daring, and there's a fine line to walk when stepping into the look. Since KiKi is infamous for overdoing fur, we've decided to help you ladies tone it down in the name of going natural and saving money!

    Here are 6 ways to look fab in faux fur without going overboard. You'd be surprised how easy and fashionable it is.

    Ok, really serious question here: Do you or don't you believe in wearing white after Labor Day has come and gone? Some nix the hue after the holiday like it's the law -- and you do not mess with the law. Others seem to think the unwritten decree is flexible. They're all yup, my tan faded months ago now STFU and check out my creamy white tee. Ugh. Can't choose? Let me help.

    Why not wear white after the three-day weekend? It isn't strictly reserved for bronzed skin and sunkissed faces. Um, hello, snow is white, guys. If Mother Nature can pull off the style (and y'all know she can be a big B) I think we'll be alright to try it too. The color is clean, sophisticated, elegant, and refreshing. Not to mention totally on trend.

    But since I'm no expert on the matter (formally, at least), let's put the debate in the hands of nine fabulous fabrics. Spoiler alert! They're all white. So take a peak and get a clue: Wearing white long after Labor Day is classic and lovely.
