We all know and love Michael Stars for their perfect basics line, where one size fits most. They have now come out with a dressier collection featuring the ever-most subtle shimmer in their fabrics. This is the perfect collection to dress up any outfit for the holidays.

I paired mine [more colors available] with a black pair of tights, tucked into a high-waisted black skirt and slouchy black boots for a perfect, dressed up holiday look.

Stop into Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutiques and check out our entire collection from Michael Stars.

my fall uniform.

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:58:38 -0700

I always look forward to the day I can bring out my Fall boots. These become a staple in my Fall uniform along with leggings, a tunic and a scarf wrapped around my neck-of course!

This sexy, open-shoulder, belted tunic from Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutique [$42] has become a regular piece I’ve been able to thrown on over my leggings and look fashionable and put together.

Not a leggings wearer? No problem. You can still get this look by switching out the leggings for a pair of jeans…skinny or boot cut will do.

Animal prints come and go with being in style. This Fall they are making great accent pieces.

When wearing animal prints-make sure you are keeping it minimal. You don’t want to be mistaken for a leopard now do you?

Scarfs, handbags, shoes, and this adorable belt [$16, above] from Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutique are the perfect animal print accent pieces to add to your wardrobe.

Whether it’s leopard, zebra, or python that feeds your animal instincts-head on in to Grand Central/Divaz Boutiques to check out the latest [affordable] trends in animal prints.

go with the flow.

I’m loving this flowy top from Naked Zebra. [only $24.00] The olive color is perfect for transitioning into Fall, and the peek-a-boo shoulders are ever so sexy.

I pair this top of mine, with the latest trend of high-waisted flare leg jeans, a pair of nude or luggage brown color pumps, and gold jewels-earrings and bracelet only.

Other option-the classic Fall look. Skinny jeans, boots and an adorable printed scarf. This shirt lets you play with all the fun stripes & prints trend for the season.

cover up.

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:59:00 -0700

Fall sneaks up when you least expect it; so this year make sure you’re ready for it!

At Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutique locations, we have a TON of great cover ups to keep you warm.

Have a favorite dress from Summertime that you still want to wear? No problem! Most dresses are easy to keep around in the cooler months by putting a little something over your shoulders. For example: This adorable Solemio lace tie cardigan [$36].

Keep the option of tights in your wardrobe too! Closed toes pumps or a sexy pair of ankle booties are a great finishing look when wearing fabric on your legs.

Stop in to Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutiques today and see what you can cover yourself up in!

lipstick & lace.

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 11:06:06 -0700

There’s something about a lace skirt that screams sweet, feminine and sexy! This past Spring, I really got into the whole lace trend & there are way’s to transition lace into Fall.

Like this AMAZING Comme Toi knee length, lace skirt for only $46 at Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutiques.

To transition this piece into Fall, choose a darker color underneath like this navy instead of the neutrals you were seeing in the past. Pair with an opaque tight and great pump or suede ankle boot.

On top, keep it simple. Let the skirt be the focal point. Choose a lightweight cardigan or simple jacket to cover your arms when needed.

We all have those certain things in our closet that are our go-to pieces. Whether it’s your favorite pair of jeans, a little black dress or even a cozy pair of sweats. On the other hand, there are certain pieces that are a MUST-have in your closet: a dressy pair of dark denim, a black, fitted blazer, a hip hugging pencil skirt and a black belt. Yes, you heard me…a black belt. It really is a MUST!

I got this amazing black belt for only $12

Belts have definitely made a come back over the past few years and can been seen in many sizes with some of the coolest belt buckles.

Pair this black belt from Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutique with any blousey top for a more fitted look. You can also pair this belt over an over-sized sweater once the weather cools for a more sophisticated overall finish.

red hot.

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 05:50:00 -0700

Red IS the hottest color for Fall fashion this season. It’s been a while since a true red has been a must-have color and I don’t know about you, but I love red. Everyone looks good in red-blondes, brunettes and even women sharing the color with their hair. Red hot it is, for this season’s trend.

I found this ADORABLE transitional end-of-Summer/beginning-of-Fall dress at Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutiques. It’s been a huge hit! I can’t walk out the door without receiving compliments. The fit is perfect!

Pair this dress solo with nude or black patent pumps, along with some gold jewels, and you’re set for a night on the town. OR Once the weather cools a bit, throw on a cardigan, some tights and ankle booties for a warmer look!

However you’re rockin’ this dress for the season, know you’re wearing one of THE hottest colors.

Happy Shopping!

crop-top.

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 08:06:55 -0700

Isn’t this the cutest thing? I’m totally in love with the lace and of course the neon color!

This little crop top is perfect used as a layering piece under your see-through tops or under those extra wide arm hole tops. Both were key trends to have in your Spring/Summer wardrobe.

Transitioning into Fall: pair this crop top solo with your favorite pair of high waisted trouser pants. The perfect outfit for those wondering how to wear your high waited trousers in the hot weather. So cute!

Available in many different colors at all 3 of our Divaz/Grand Central Clothing Locations!!

This past weekend I had a pool party, a birthday party and a wine tasting. I feel like I could have worn this dress to each event I had. This dress is one of the most versatile pieces in my closet.

With the economy the way it is, pieces like this need to be KEY in everyone’s wardrobe. This dress by M Rena is only $28 at Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutiques.

The possibilities of styling this dress for events throughout the season, are ENDLESS! Everyone needs to own this!

pain is beauty...

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:37:00 -0700

ya, ya, ya…but you feel more beautiful if you’re NOT in pain right? well we have your solution. Foot*Petals are here to save the day. No more aching feet or shoes that don’t fit well.

I was dumb enough to not break in my own wedding shoes a few weeks back and boy did I pay for that. I finally couldn’t take the back of my shoe digging into my ankle and purchased the Foot*Petals, Heavenly Heelz [$6.95] which are meant to cushion the back of your heel. They by far, saved-the-day!

If you are having trouble with your shoes giving you discomfort, make sure you stop into Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutiques for a wide variety of Foot*Petals merchandise!

And remember ladies, you DON’T need to be in pain to be beautiful!
