Spring Wardrobe Boost?

By jenclydestylist | April 16, 2013 | Segments | 1 Comment

On a Budget? But need a little spring trend boost in your drab winter closet? Well here is the deal. You all know I am a big shopper, but that being said I never spend a lot of money at once! No, No! I wait and I buy little at a time just more consistent. So this spring I know we all are pinching our penny’s with the economy so I wanted to come to the rescue and say, “You got this!” It’s time to pinch those penny’s because you can spice up any wardrobe with these fresh key pieces for spring. Changes the whole look of an outfit.

1. Bring Blazers and Cardigans: Wear with anything. Boring T-shirt, dress, or jeans. What ever it is you just took something old and made it look fresh and new.

2. Bright Spring Shoes: Ok enough said when it comes to the new shoes. Honestly you could be wearing a shirt you wear everyday, but because you have new shoes on well….it’s like you’re a spring masterpiece. Get some great shoes at TJ Maxx or Nordstorm Rack! Changes everything.

Buy here. I love me some mint shoes

3. Fun Different Accessories: I love to say to get some great new sunglasses to change the way you look on your face. That’s a statement. Also some fun new belts that only cost like 3-5 dollars each. Hair bands? Clips? Necklaces of course change the whole look of your outfit and even make up. Fresh it up with a new lip!

These are all great ways to not break the bank this summer and spend more money on fun outings with family and friends to create moments that last longer than a pair of jeans. Enjoy and save ladies and men.

How To Dress Up Your Spring Tee

By jenclydestylist | April 9, 2013 | Segments | 2 Comments

Ok so I will make this short and sweet. The other day my cute new Sales Manager was rocking some way fun T-shirts. But her job is to always be in front of the showroom and helping new stylist find what they need, and so I said “I don’t care if you wear a T-shirt, just dress it up!” So she said “Well what do you mean?” So here we go…..girls who want to learn how to wear your fun, spring t-shirts that have been tucked away for a while in those winter days?? Well here you go! Some of the ways I love to dress up a T-shirt. Short and simple and now you can wear to the office and look like a fun, stylish, and successful employee.

Rules, How to dress it up:

Always pair with a skirt.When you want to have a definite go to, get a nice pencil skirt throw on a cardigan or blazer and your ready, hot, and look like something a bit more spicier for the office that day. No more old blouse with a boring expected, now you can turn heads and be more like yourself in your comfy tee.

Dress it up with a blouse. So I have been seeing this trend now for a couple of years…..but I must say I am a fan! I love how you can wear the t-shirt with the blouse underneath! All of a sudden you have now turned a t-shirt into an unexpected master piece for work or a fun lunch in meeting that you want to stand out for. I like to always pair mine with some fun wide leg pants either jeans or some trousers. Rule for me though…to keep it classy always stay with a dark wash wide leg if you go with jeans, and if it’s trouser your safe with anything. Color or pattern just wear with confidence.

Dress it up with Trousers: Go for some wide leg classic clean wide leg trousers or even pegged or rolled up with a sassy heel. Screams must have! Also you can wear with flats but if you do this make sure you wear some awesome accessories to go with.

Dress it up with the Jewels: 100% you want to dress up with accessories. Makes a boring old t-shirt make some serious sparkle. Dresses it right up enough said. Get yourself some fun statement piece necklaces. One of my faves….. SiraMara.com and colorbyamber.com. Either way your good to go. Now go shop!

Wash Any Type Of Fabric At Home

By jenclydestylist | March 5, 2013 | Segments, Uncategorized | No comments

So being a personal shopper and fashion blogger you know I get so many questions on how to clean clothes! So I thought why not do a show about it on my ABC4 Fashion Segment I do each week. I picked some of my fave top tips plus I found an awesome video on FabSugar.com that gave awesome tips too that I referred from on my blog. So thanks Fabsugar. We have all had those questions about your favorite new top that you can’t wait to wear and then you hate to wash it because your too afraid of making it that much more destroyed in the dreaded washer. So here are some tips I think you will just love. Hope this helps!

COTTON- Tend to shrink over time! This always happens to me so if you follow this then you can wear the love out of that Tee.

1.Cold Water

2.Don’t dry mostly if you love the fit!

3. Hang Dry

SILK- Don’t be afraid to wash this…totally easier then you think!

1. Hand Wash in cold water

2. Apply Mild Detergent Woolite or Dreft to help preserve garments natural oils

3. Rinse in cold water to remove all soap.

4. Apply few drops of hair conditioner to tub of water let sit for 5 mins. This helps fabric to stay soft and flexible.

5. Hang Dry!

6. Handy tip: If you need a spot clean use lemon or vinegar

CASHMERE- WARNING! CHECK LABEL FOR DRY CLEAN ONLY. IF IT IS DRY CLEAN IF NOT FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Hand wash in luke warm water

2. Mild Soap/Shampoo-Recommend using facial soap like Neutrogena

3. Never ring out or twist! It will lose its shape LAY FLAT TO DRY WARNING: NEVER HANG ON A HANGER TO DRY!

WOOL- CAN BE TRICKY! IF WASHED IT CAN COME OUT LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR A CHILD

1. Doesnt need to be washed very often so don’t wash often

2. Soak in cold water for few hours to help saturate all wool fivers to help with shrinkage.

3. Make Soap solution with Woolite or Dreft and hair conditioner

4. Lay Flat to Dry

SUEDE-NEED A SUEDE BRUSH AND ERASER! YOU CAN BUY AT WALLMART

1. Use eraser first then brush the fabric down

2. NO WASHING SUEDE

3. Oil stains use cornstarch then brush to normal

4. Water stains use paper towel to soak it up

CHIFFON-CHECK LABEL TO SEE IF IT’S MADE FROM SILK IF SO USE SILK DIRECTIONS IF IT’S NOT AND IT’S CHEAPY CHIFFON FROM RAYON OR POLYESTER THEN FOLLOW THESE STEPS

1. Wash in machine

2. Cold Cycle on gental cycle

3. Mild Detergent

4. Dryer on cool and short cycle.

SATIN

1. Machine wash in cold water

2. Mild Detergent

3. Air Dry No Twisting or ringing it out. This will lose its shape

4. Iron inside out

DELICATES

1. Lingerie Bag in the washer on cool

2. Connect bra hooks and ilets together before washing to avoid hooking on to other items.

3. Avoid Dryer! So you can avoid elastic working and loosing shape.

JEANS

1. Turn inside out to help protect the wash on the jeans unless you want the faded looks as part of your style

2. Lay flat to dry, helps keep the size of the jeans perfect to fit.

3. Dry in dryer if you want them to shrink up a bit if they stretched too much.

Ok I hope this helps.! Thanks for watching me every week on my Fashion Segment on ABC4 Utah. Catch me next week talking on more spring trends for this season.

Cheers

This may come as a shocker because it did to myself but I went to grab my boys some uniform shorts from the new JCP Store down the street because there cheap, and what do you…..I found this little dress peaking through as I walked by. The color caught my first glance then the pattern caught my second! Which I went over to check it out way fast….thinking I am sure it’s a wash….but what do you know it’s on clearance for 15 bucks! Couldn’t believe it! So along it went with me on my journey to find my boys some shorts. Never have I ever bought anything from the JCP Store but here is my first little item for the JCP! Wow weird post right? Check it happy sunday.

Spring Swimwear Report

By jenclydestylist | February 19, 2013 | Segments | No comments

Well it’s that time where some of us love….and some of us moms hate! I think Ohhh gosh, now I have to get tan, shave my legs everyday, and workout! Yes I know I should be doing this year round but…well….I am not! So some of us love it because you have been working out and getting tan and your ready for some cute swimwear to go with your hot vibe. So you’re in luck! Many different companies have been rocking the vintage vibe which is my fave and then the sporty one along with the hot colored bikinis. So what ever you’re wanting to rock this summer I think you will be very happy with some of my top picks for swimwear this season. What to buy? Here are my top faves.

Vintage Vibe:

This suit I love from DownEast. Vintage Vibe and great price. Fits well and great for bigger chested women with that under wire to help hold up that area and not look droopy affect and help out those backs! Love the print and piping. Go here to buy!

This one piece beauty takes Vintage to a next level. Modern vintage style is what I like to call it. I love the side tie and the stripes of course and this suit is so well made that the fabric holds you in so you look 10 pounds thinner. This is one you want to have this summer. Albion swimwear had many of choices and many more coming out March 1st 2013 with their whole new swimwear styles. You have to stay up with this company because their fits and styles are ones you don’t want to miss. Go here to shop!

Anthropologie keeps vintage classy, timeless, sleek, slimming, and just a plain must have! For moms like me I love it because black is my slimming save and tucks in tummies, and covers that it spot on your hips and bum area! This is a simple clean beautiful suit all must have for this season. Pricer but worth it for a good fit and a good hold of our booty. Buy here online!

Sporty:

Ok I am in love with these boy shorts and tankini! I just wore mine in Hawaii last week the whole time. This suit is great for paddle boarding and surfing! This is cute too, to rock just walking down the board walk with a cute tank for a walk or a skateboard ride. Basically these go and move everywhere with you without any bum cheek flying out where not wanted! So when on the go this Alibon suit will change your world. Buy here online! Comes in red too!

When you think sporty as a mom I always think…What can I wear chasing after my 5-year-old and look clean sporty and put together? Or how can I party with the 13-year-old down the water slide without embarrassing him with my bikini being on top of my head instead of where it should be? Go with the sporty one piece your still cute and you can be comfy as well. Nothing screams cute more than comfortable in your own skin and with this fit and classic coloring. Go buy here at DownEast.

Nothing screams sporty more than Roxy Swimwear. They just get it right. They know how to use colors and patterns in a tom girl type of way …..not too girly but girly enough. Love this backless. Check it out and buy it here online.

Hot Bikinis:

This fringe number is such a must have!! I love fringe and when you go with a two piece this year this has to be up on your list. Love the vibe and love how it comes in many different colors from free people! Go buy here.

I heart tribal prints and I love this suit that has just that! I love this top with a cool maxi skirt too. Easy to turn from bathing suit to beach top. This little number is easy, sweet, and trend driven. Click here to see it!

So this year make sure you use these swim buying tips:

Bigger chest:cup top, tie around the neck or shoulders, stay way from strap less without a cup

Smaller chested: One shoulder strap, sporty tankini, x back, stay away from cups

Bigger hips: Go with a swim skirt, vintage one piece with longer sides, full back, one piece helps. Stay away from string sides that push out unwanted areas

Smaller hips: Anything usually looks great on your body! But side ties look fab, high-waisted looks super cute, and anything that has a great tight fit.

Bigger Tummy: One piece, Tankini, blouses tankini

What ever you wear …..just have fun and wear it with confidence. Later today my show on swimwear featuring Alibon will be posted here for you to watch live! Now go Pin happy! Pin what you love.

Also don’t miss this amazing water proof Jewelry line that incases elements around the world in all their jewelry and each piece tells a story and you carry around the story in between two layers on eco friendly resin! I am in love with the new spring line that goes perfect with each swimsuit and I just wore a bunch on my trip to hawaii. It’s their new Vibrant line and you can swim in it, and you can hike in it, and you can live in it. This is made to go where ever you go!
