Rock on with your bad self.

 

I’ve been searching for the perfect boot. Aside from a real cowboy boot — this is the only one that makes me giddy.

Are you into cowboy boots?

NEED:

There was a time when I thought I didn’t need to put on “a face” everyday. That was in my 20′s-30′s. When I turned 40, I went to my aesthetician (Gail Wise Skincare if you are in Denver, she is THE BEST — I’ve been going to her since I was 20), and had my skin routine revamped. Then, I went to Sephora and asked one of their consultants to help me with a day face that would work for my lifestyle. I currently use a bronzer to “hollow” out my cheekbones and then a highlighter on my brow. On my eyes I use one shadow just to line my eyes — if I have time, I use a pencil eyeliner underneath as well. Eyelash curler and a gloss, and that’s it. An easy day face that takes literally 2 minutes.

This new palette looks perfect for me . . . . I think I need it!

Dear Santa:

Kate Moss’ new book is out . . . . and it’s on my list. Don’t you just love her? Even when she’s been out all night smoking cigarettes and drinking and whatnot, she still looks gorgeous. She’s a rock-star.

Dear Santa

I’m a necklace girl. I love to have one on at all times. I currently have been wearing a wishbone necklace I found in Tulum. The above necklace is the horseshoe in gunmetal by Alexis Bittar, my favorite jewelry designer. I think I’d like to have this around my neck for a good long time.

I am very picky about boots and I’ve been looking and looking. I always come back to these Jeffrey Campbell boots. I love the downtown rocker chick vibe. Or I’ll take the Lita boot – very Lady Gaga.

Oh, I’m an 8 1/2.

Fall Trend – Maxi Madness

There’s a little chill in the air and it is fashion’s favorite time of year . . . so, I thought I’d share with you some of my fall must haves for 2011.

First up: The Maxi Skirt. This is a fantastic staple that you will wear all season long. Just look at the chic girl above. I love how she has paired her skirt (LNA Maxi available at shopbop.com) with a dolman sleeved sweater, a fantastic hat (I must find it!) bangles, scarf and studded clogs. The skirt, especially in black can really be dressed up, or you can make it look very downtown with a tee, motorcycle jacket, hair up in a loose knot, a fun pair of booties and a scarf.

I think this is a great piece you will wear over and over . . .

mmmmmmmmmm!

 

 

Just look at this worksuit from Madewell. I so love it. Can’t you see yourself running errands on a Saturday in this cute number? Or, sex it up a little with some fun high heel boots, belt and jewelry. So great.

This post is merely a diversion. I have been going through some changes at Hot Mamas and it seems all my time has been devoted to meetings and figuring things out in regard to my studio/stroller classes/possible franchising etc. I just got approved to do a Groupon (April 15th) and I am totally freaking out. Mostly because I know this means great exposure for Hot Mamas and a great way to find new people who will love the concept and become regular students. In the meantime I am trying to get everything in place so the transition isn’t pure madness.

Hence, the worksuit. Just a nice diversion from the crazy voices in my head Hope you are having a great week so far. I plan to share about NYC tomorrow.

Boot Season

The heat wave in Denver has kept me in flip flops, but I know the inevitable is coming. And one thing I do love about fall are the boots. I have been to the shoe department at Nordstrom about 5 times and circled the boot displays. It’s all so confusing. There’s the cowboy style, the biker, the lace-ups, the pointy toe high heel, over the knee, slouchy flat, rock n roll booties, combat, Chelsea, the wedge . . . . ohhhh, I still can’t decide!

Here are some of my favs. What do you like?

Look how fabulous that looks. I think the over the knee boot is in the lead.

LOVE.

Very Cool.

I love the western edge to these . . . but not too cowboyish

These could be the ones . . .

I like the slouchiness of these! They feel very rocker.

I like the leather on these and the low buckle.

Slick and Silvery

Ahaha! These are cool . . . out of my price range though. Just had to share!

Nice and simple bootie — it would go with everything.

Music Wednesday

Happy Wednesday Mamas! Today for Music Wednesday, I want to share my favorite fashion show from NY fashion week . . but also the song in the background. When I first heard it, I thought it was totally annoying, but then it grew on me.

I love how all the people in the audience are so still . . . I think I’d be at least tapping my toe or something! Don’t you love the girl’s hair? I love the messy braid. And, I’m so glad to see shoulder pads — makes you look skinny!

Music by Major Lazer / Pon de Floor . . . Keep it Goin Louder is good too.

For love of the leotard

I dedicate this post to one of my favorite clothing items . . .  Look at Kate rocking that leotard . . . with boots!

Right now the best place I’ve found is American Apparel at least for variety. When I lived in NYC, you could find them in all sorts of little corner shops. In Denver, not so much. Would you wear a leotard? If so, would you work out in it? Or wear it out dancing?

Here are some other great women in leotards . . .
