Navy and Black

What do I wear with Navy?

An age old dilema has finally been solved this season and I'm thrilled to say the least. Black is the answer and designers are mixing these two colors in every way. We saw black and navy stripes on the runway. Black patent leather shoes mixed with navy suede (see below) and every other combination you can dream up.

All you really need to know is that it's ok to mix these two colors. Find these black and Navy mary janes http://www.shopverucasalt.com/shop/detail.asp?id=3505

I'm obsessed with this dress

You need this denim ruffle dress! Imagine with a pair of camel boots for the fall. Love it! Check it out : http://www.shopverucasalt.com/shop/detail.asp?id=3485

Transitions

It's blazing heat outside but I can feel change in the air...or maybe it's all the new fall merchandise filling the store. People ask me all the time, "how do I wear this now and then when it gets chilly?"

The answer isn't "just add Uggs."

The best example I can give you is with a simple dress. Make sure you choose one in a transitional color, no white or pastels. This beautiful Sunner frock is a perfect example.

Wear it now with a nude heel and easily move into fall with a pair of tights and a little bolero sweater like this one by Emma & Posh. http://www.shopverucasalt.com/shop/detail.asp?id=3487

Petite and Perfect

My friend Dana has a hard time reaching the middle shelf in her kitchen; you may know where I'm going with this. Some call it vertically challenged; I prefer petite.

There are some great benefits to being small e.g. she can buy shoes in the kids section and it’s harder to find her in a game of hide-and-seek. But a major drawback has always been that it’s impossible to find a pair of jeans that don’t need to be altered…until now.

Seven for all Mankind just came out with their first ever petite jean, the “Lexie.” These jeans aren’t just your regular jeans with a shorter inseam; they were actually made for the petite frame. All I can say is Dana looks pretty hot in these jeans.

Yoga Chic

I'm a huge fan of Yoga. I prefer Vinyasa Flow myself, but no matter what your practice preference is, you will love these new Hard Tail yoga pants and matching tie dye tank.

The pant is black everywhere you need it to be and then there's the cutest fold over top. The top can go from yoga class to a rock concert if you throw on the right jeans.

I think my practice may improve with this new gear. See you in class!

Wear your Politics

Are you getting all fired up for the democratic convention? Do you love the GOP? Or are you just a huge fan of your right to vote? Either way, it's easy to show your support these days by wearing your favorite candidate or party!

Halle Berry is a huge suppporter of Barak Obama and shows it wearing this T: http://www.shopverucasalt.com/shop/detail.asp?id=3130 shop online!

I heart Barbie

Did you ever flip on the TV set to a bad Donahue episode and see the Woman who had something like a million surgeries to turn herself into a human Barbie? I did, and let me tell you; she went a little too far....but I still love Barbie and think it's fun to channel her spirit in a less painful way.
