Bringing Sexy Back

Though you might not think it, February is actually a pretty sexy month. Most of us are totally over all the cold and by now, we're angsty, excitable, and ready to rip off our parkas and get on with it already.

The good news? You don't need to wait until the snow thaws to get your sexy on. I'm not talking cheesy lace-up corsets, hot pants or platforms here; the modern woman is far less obvious. Think Nicki Minaj  vs. Beyoncé and you'll know exactly what I mean. The modern sexpot shows off her assets in an almost accidental way - from her handbag right down to her shoes, she oozes charisma, class and confidence. She might rock a bold red lip or killer shoes, but rather than throwing it all out there, she usually only chooses one overtly sexy piece and keeps the rest decidedly low-key. Because, as we've all been told so many times, sexy isn't about thongs and thigh-highs, it's about being comfortable and confident.

From luxe-looking sweaters that hang just so, to cut-out shoes that will seriously raise your game, to the little things you lounge around in at home, I've rounded up some of my fav finds help you be your absolute sexiest (plus a classic smokey eye makeup tutorial that will forever change your gaze)...

This Just In: Preen x ALDO RISE 


PREEN x ALDO RISE Pointy-Toe Pump, $155, ALDO

The long-awaited PREEN python pretties seen on the catwalk during London Fashion Week have finally arrived at ALDO, right in time for Spring. Picture yourself emerging from a long winter's nap - sun glinting in your hair, cute little baby birds chirping, flowers popping up all over the place. Once you hit the street, traffic comes to a dead stop, jaws hit the sidewalk as you stomp your way down the street. But wait - you need a worthy soundtrack. No, this ain't no time for Thrift Shop babies (you won't find these at any Goodwill, guaranteed) - these fierce shoes call for full-blown Beyoncé.  It's been a long, long winter - you SO deserve these shoes.

Check out the very tempting ALDO RISE Spring '13 line at aldoshoes.com. (Don't say I didn't warn you...)

P.S - Who runs the world? Girls!

So, I realize that you probably haven't even bought your Hallowe'en candy yet. And I know that the holiday season is probably not the first thing on your mind.  But, you have to admit, the scattered mentions of parties, presents and the chubby guy in red mean that Christmas, Kwanzaa and other merry festivities are really not that far away.  And since several friends have mentioned that their offices have already booked their holiday fêtes (crazy, I know), it means that now is a fabulous time to start pre-planning your party wardrobe.  

This season, step away from your basic little black dress and instead, think outside of the perfectly wrapped box.  White Oaks Mall is full of pretty finds sure to set you apart from the crowd at your next office party, cocktail toast, or full-out holiday bender.   Here, we share 3 chic, party-ready looks (PS - Be sure to check back next week for 3 more)

I know it's early but I'm already excited.  You? xo
