Haute Find

HAUTE SHOPPING




Last Saturday I attended the grand opening of a charming boutique called Two Kisses and how sweet it is. The shop is located in Hollywood, Fl and features an array of apparel and accessories for one to dress up in. The shop is brainchild of owner Mira Hightower and features local designers and the latest trends. You can visit the shop online at www.TwoKissesBoutique.com but I suggest you come in person and let Mira grace you with her talents...muah!...muah!

Haute Look

The Working Woman




The Working Sophisticate


Clockwise from left to right:
1. Rebecca Minkoff cupid handbag - $495
2. Mango straight-cut pant - $60
3. Donna Karen chiffon bodysuit - $1,130
4. Blazer - $36
5. H&M hair clips (worn as broach or shoe clips) - $3.21
6. River Island nail polish $13
7. Yves Saint Laurent mirror heels - $1,050

No matter your income, this look is a simple template one can use to recreate. For example, if your income does not allow for a $1000 dollar bodysuit go for a feminine camisole (see Basics for Every Closet) in any color you like. For easy color blocking, I chose a green blazer and burgundy handbag. The blazer adds texture while the handbag gives the outfit some interest. The neutral colors were chosen so that one can mix and match thereby creating several looks throughout seasonal changes.

As a working professional you only get one chance to make a first impression whether you are just starting in your profession or you have been at it for some time. Let your wardrobe speak clearly for you; let it say that you are confident and good at what you do.
