Garden Love

I haven't planted my 4x6 foot "yard" this year due to a combination of laziness and poor weather conditions. Usually I need a fix of flowers and color after the long cold winter but this year the garden prints are prevalent and filling the void. This Rachel Pally dress won't help your yard look any better but it will do wonders for you. Check it out: http://www.shopverucasalt.com/shop/detail.asp?id=4341

Spring Break

All this rain and snow puts one thing on my mind: VACATION! I am so ready for a spring break. I can't actually go anywhere warm this year so I've decided to get a spray tan and buy some new clothes. Hey we can wear them eventually, right?

These are my top 2 spring break picks:Every girl needs a great pair of white jeans. Try the Charlize Flare jeans by 7 for all mankind http://www.shopverucasalt.com/ These have a new technology called 4 way stretch. Can we say "perfect fit?"

http://www.shopverucasalt.com/shop/detail.asp?id=4179 Rachel Pally Mexico dress. This is the most versatile piece I've seen in a long time. It can be worn as a tube dress, a halter, or a long skirt. Amazing! This won't wrinkle in your suitcase either.

I walked my dogs this morning and the combination of brisk fall air and foliage got me thinking jackets. Everyone should have a perfect leather jacket in their wardrobe. What do I mean by perfect? Snug fit, good quality leather, and a nice neutral color. If you already have a neutral, add to your collection with a new color.

Try the brown leather Doma jacket above. It has a beautiful knit lining and a functional hood!

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.
