If you are a true "Fashionista", you know the feeling; you're checking yourself out in the mirror. You have the perfect outfit! Your ensemble includes pieces that are in this season and 2 from the past. Your hair is highlighted, layered and bouncing all over the place. Your $50.00 perfectly polished manicure & pedicure makes you feel beautiful from head to toe. You're ready!!! But, wait a minute, something is missing... That's right. Despite the fact that you're "Dressed To The Nines", your entire look can make you a "Fashion Don't" if you don't accessorize. If you're looking to make a fashion statement, make sure you've accessorized. It can make or break your outfit.

Accessorized for Life!!!

Do you know what accessories you better not leave your house without this season? According to the Fashion Elite, here are the 5 must-have Fashion accessories this season, but I want to ask you, how are you accessorizing your life?

Neon Colored Stilettos (Hot Pink, Turquoise Blue or Canary Yellow Be Bold Girl)Fedora Hats (Look Fabulous on a bad hair day!)The Wedge Heel (Short girls love it!)BIG Belts (Cinch in that waist!)Feathered Earrings (Make a statement, doubles as hair accessory)

Don't get me wrong I love them all and you can find them in my closet & jewelry armoire BUT I want to see what's in your wardrobe for life? I thought it was time to take inventory of what's in your accessory bag for chic living. Make a statement and bring out the "Couture YOU"!

Here are the 5 Must Have Accessories (For Life)

1. Thoughts- What you focus on is always mirrored back to you! You have to think about what you want all the time. The minute a negative thought enters your head, change it in a New York minute! Your mind is like a runway, you want positive thoughts sashaying up and down all day!

2. Beliefs- Do you think you have an Ugly Belief System (U.B.S.)? A string of beliefs that don't serve you are like clothes that are not the right size. They will never flatter you. Ugly beliefs never flatter YOU or the work that YOU do. Remember if you don't believe in yourself or your abilities it will remain difficult for others to BELIEVE in you & align with you. Start believing in YOU & what YOU can do. Wearing U.B.S. (not cute)!

3. Words- Are you speaking positively or negatively? Your words are like 6 inch stilettos. Strong, Piercing and Unforgettable! They have a way of holding up, so make sure you say what you truly mean and want in your life!

4. Feelings- Are you happy, excited and walking around in gratitude every season? There's so much doom and gloom in the world right now, take it upon yourself to set a new trend. A positive attitude is contagious, a smile is infectious and when you're feeling great you will do great work, great people will want to be around you and great things will happen to YOU!

5. Actions- Take action, implement and execute! You've heard the saying all talk and no action! Practice what you preach! Walk the talk! It's important to have a "Get it done now, not tomorrow attitude" about everything you do, and distinguish what action steps are right for YOU. Often times, busy work is what we think we should do based on what someone else is doing. Be an original, not a carbon copy. Say to yourself, "I am a Woman of Action"! Make your Life a Limited Edition experience!

Your must have accessories for life, the ones that you can't live (life) without!!!

5 Professional Tips for Women in the Workplace

Women face both similar and different challenges in the workplace. For that reason, there are some special tips that women should embrace to increase the odds of success. While working women have made great progress in the past three decades landing a higher percentage of highly-coveted management jobs, there are still obstacles on the way to the top. For success, women must approach the workplace in a very calculated manner. Below are some tips for every ambitious female aspiring to greatness.

1. Find a successful mentor who can help you navigate the corporate landscape. Older women who paved the way for the next generation can provide invaluable insights for female professionals who are still learning how to move ahead in the workplace. Some companies have formal mentoring programs, but many do not. Finding a mentor does not have to be a company sanctioned, formal process. Reaching out to a helpful, older female for advice is usually enough to establish the mentor relationship. Women who have "made it" in the corporate world are often eager to share tips with younger women.

2. Dress for success so that business associates will take you seriously. Wearing power colors is key for being noticed. The best suit colors for women are royal blue, emerald green, red and magenta. Buying a style that flatters your body shape always makes fashion sense for the workplace. Stay away from suit jackets that look like your father's. This masculine cut will make you appear frumpy and out of touch. Never wear revealing clothes to work. Jewelry should be tasteful and used as bold accents. Shoes should not be noticeable. Wearing a bit of makeup to enhance your eyes and skin tone is a good idea. Finally, it is important that your hairstyle be fresh and up to date without being too extreme and funky. All of these factors create your image.

3. Take care of yourself and unwind in the evenings and on the weekends. Being well rested and rejuvenated for work will provide the energy you need to excel and compete. Workaholics typically burn out early in the race, losing their perspective and ability to compete.

4. Define success in your own terms, setting definite career goals for yourself. If you don't approach your career with a gameplan, it is impossible to know how to navigate. As obvious as this sounds, you must know where you want to go in order to get there.

5. Assess your strengths and weaknesses as honestly as possible. Don't just focus on your liabilities. Be honest about your assets too, as they will be your guide to the career that best suits your personality and strengths.

Amazing Women to Inspire You

Today your homework simple. Here is a list of women for you to study and admire. Note what you like about each womans' style. Maybe. . . somewhere deep inside you. . . it's a link to your inner Sassy.

A. Catherine the Great: Empress of Russia (June 28, 1762 - November 17, 1796).

Catherine had many achievements. She left Russia stronger, prosperous and beautiful in her reign as Empress. That she failed in much she had set out to do had less to do with her and more to do with human nature. Catherine was unwilling to use terror or force to transform society. She chose a more patient path. Her goal was to gradually raise the level of culture by legislation, education, and example.

What we can learn from Catherine:
1. She kept her voracious appetites throughout her life.
2. Excellent advice: "I like to praise and reward in a loud voice and to scold in a whisper. "
3. A charming conversationalist, writers Diderot and Voltaire jealously vied for the pleasure of her company.
4. Don't believe the nonsense about her death and the horse.

B. Coco Chanel: Fashionista (1883-1971)

What we can learn from Coco:

"It's an unseen, unforgettable, ultimate fashion accessory. It heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure. " Coco Chanel

It's not the dress, the make-up, the bag the shoes. It's your scent. Study Coco, explore the world of fragrance and find your signature scent. That's powerful!

C. Greta Garbo: Swedish actress (1905-1990)

What we can learn from Ms. Garbo:
1. Keep a little mystery. Social networks like Facebook and Twitter allow you to post things about everything you are doing every minute of the day. It will be that much more powerful in our "overly open" society. Just because someone asks you something about yourself doesn't mean you have to tell them. Especially if it is personal information!

2. Garbo had lots of eccentricities. She had layer upon layer which only added to her mystery.

3. Garbo expressed her "kooky self" with no apologies. She would leave a person alone mid-conversation. When asked if she was available for dinner she would respond "How do I know that I'll be hungry that day?"

What women from history inspire you? Are you impressed with Catherine's ability to keep her voracious appetite for life? Chanel and her way with words? How about Garbo and her mysterious ways? There is probably something in them that lives deep within you. Explore and enjoy the discoveries. Enjoy your assignments! Love, Goddess.
