But day in and day out there has been an issue lingering in my mind that I really have to address here.<br />
<br />
The very talented and recognized German designer Karl Lagerfeld recently reacted to Brigitte's (Germany's most popular women's magazine) announcement last week that it will, in the future, use "ordinary, realistic" women rather than professional models in its photo shoots, saying that the decision was "absurd" and <b>driven by overweight women who did not like to be reminded of their weight issues.</b><br />
<br />
He continue by saying that "<b>These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps </b>in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly," Lagerfeld said in an interview with Focus magazine and finished up saying that "<b>no one wants to see round women</b>".<br />
<br />
I am usually really cool with these kind of stupid comments, but I cannot help but feel offended, mostly because I don't want this to be the mentality passed on to my daughter. <br />
This is not an issue against really thin women, they are as beautiful as we, TEENSIZERS, are specially if that is their natural body type. But it cannot be denied that many of the ultra thin models follow unhealthy habits to stay at a size 0, and even still, their pictures are photoshoped and thinnned down!<br />
<br />
I am sure that Mr. Lagerfeld is trying to erase his past as a TEENSIZER himself, and that's why, for fun and revenge, I am posting this picture! ;-)<br />

Critics say it's a response to these trying economic times. Even it being a proposal for next Spring season, it was full of black and withe dresses, graphic shapes and beige tones. This may just work for all of us!!!!<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/StXGwF0mV0I/AAAAAAAAAHI/vyJxKtJbKCs/s1600-h/paris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/StXGwF0mV0I/AAAAAAAAAHI/vyJxKtJbKCs/s320/paris.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Now, and wanted to share this exert with you. I am still offended by the way some merchandise treat us, consumers, are we really just robots that can be <b>programed to buy</b>?:<br />
</div><br />
"The trick to stimulating the consumer, Ms. Solomon said, is to “make her believe she needs to update her wardrobe, to make her feel there is something she needs to have to get that emotional boost.” <br />
It is hoped that for the spring of 2010, this increasingly chimerical-seeming person will gaze into her closet and suddenly wonder with terror why she does not see, as Ms. Solomon suggested, “a sexy, short, ruched, cut-out, pleated short dress, or a pair of slouchy pants.” <br />
And she will buy those things for the emotional boost it gives her. Or else, if you believe the analysts who characterize the current economic upswing as the midpoint in a W-shaped double-dip recession, she will probably elect to pay her electricity bill instead." New York Times<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank">I am not sure if I have mentioned it before, but two days a week I work among horses. </a><br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank">Yeap! real thoroughbred horses. Well, I work really with their caretakers: hot-walkers, exercise riders, grooms, etc.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank">As you can imagine, the dress code here is not very strict. All (and I mean ALL) of my students wear jeans and a t-shirt, dusty boots and a cap. My boss, wears the same pieces of clothing, coming from a definitely fancier shop, and she trades the boots for preppy shiny loafers.</a><br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank"><br />
</a><br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank">At the begging I encounter a little dilemma, should I conform to the jeans and tee uniform, or with some little adjustments, should I dress as if I were teaching at any university. </a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank">So I did. Armed with some of my casual accessories, I began to put together outfits that seamed out-of-place, while not out-of-my-mind. And they LOVED it!!!!!!</a><br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank"><br />
</a><br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank">Male and female alike shower me with compliments, and most importantly, they are teaching me a valuable lesson. Fashion is a way to express my commitment and respect for my job. </a><br />
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/horses/set?.mid=embed&id=12632359" target="_blank">With my orange dresses and high heels I get to tell them everyday how proud I am of their effort, and how lucky I am to be there. <br />

I have a wedding to attend next month, and even though tons of ideas pop to my mind about what to wear, the truth is: <b>I've got to keep it real</b>.<br />
<br />
At least I know excatly what I want:<br />
I have to choose something adequate for my body type and size , but<br />
I have to look really nice and sexy. I hate looking OLDER THAN I AM.<br />
<script type="text/javascript">
</script><br />
I also, and this is really important, need to stay on budget. So that amazing purple Oscar de la Renta has to stay only in my dreams.<br />
<br />
What will come out out of this?<br />
Who knows, but I promise I will let you know...<br />

</div>Milan Fashion week features some of my most admired designers, among them Miuccia Prada, whom I got to meet at one of FIT Museum's exhibition openings. She seems very down to earth, and believe or not, that's what I like about her clothes.<br />
<br />
Right now you must be thinking I completely went insane. "Prada!!!! down to earth??!!"<br />
<br />
I know, I know, the prices are VERY "luxurious" and the clothes sometimes seem crazy. That craziness is exactly what I find appealing and down to earth.<br />
<br />
Are we really leaving the ostentatious lives of the jet set? Sorry Donatella, but NO! I drive my kids to school, fight with the baby sitter, go to the supermarket, work in jeans. My life is not fancy, but crazy? oh yeah!<br />
<br />
Prada herself once said that she uses ugly things and make them look good, she has been called "the leader of the ugly aesthetics of the 90's".<br />
<br />
So true, <b>life is full of ugliness and imperfection, and we can make that look great!</b><br />
<br />

Leggings, we just got a match!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SrzNsu--FFI/AAAAAAAAAG4/eEieJMoOnbc/s1600-h/legginsyo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SrzNsu--FFI/AAAAAAAAAG4/eEieJMoOnbc/s200/legginsyo.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">As I promised to do, I've been trying to figure out good ways for us, TEENSIZERS, to wear legginsg. <b>We cannot miss out on this ultra-comfy trend!</b><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">My first attempt was <b>successful</b>, I mixed my black leggins with and old blouse and my n<b>ew slouchy Henley from Old Navy</b>. The best part, the Henley was only <b>$2.50</b> thanks to a sale going on NOW. They have many sizes and colors.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I liked the detail of the buttons down the front, but I am definitely going back today for more, plain ones, to wear with a thick belt over them.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">One tip, buy them one size bigger than you would normally do, they really need to be slouchy to get the right effect, cover the hips and work the proportions of the look.<br />
</div>I wore heels for a meeting, and then changed into flats for the rest of the day, both ways work!<br />
<br />
If you have any other ideas, please email me a picture!<br />

<div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Look down 7th ave. during fashion week and you will see it. The highest heels! the craziest shoes!<br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why, that's great news for us TEENSIZERS!<br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pants are hard to fit, dresses may show our "weakest points", but SHOES, they are always there for us, doesn't matter if we go up or down a couple of pounds, if we feel bloated or didn't shave (it happens).<br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/Sq-WKVQcI2I/AAAAAAAAAGA/A9Bx6gDlGRM/s1600-h/sandal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/Sq-WKVQcI2I/AAAAAAAAAGA/A9Bx6gDlGRM/s320/sandal.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now, those higher than live crazy heels are not for everyone or every occasion, but we do have an option... <b>the ankle tie sandal</b>. They go with shorts, skirts, pants, dresses... Just wear them with plain clothes and make sure you accessorize to elongate the figure, since they can make the legs look a little shorter.<br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are lucky enough to live in Florida, wear them all year round. If you, like me here in NY, are ready to say by to summer, use them now! it is your last chance for the year.<br />

<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Continuing our conversation about Fall's colors<b>, Red</b> is moving to the center of attention.

To begin with, do you know that <span style="font-weight: bold;">a designer has to pay over $100,000 </span>for a spot in one of the tents (did you even know there were tents?), and that is not counting all of the HUGE production costs including models, decor, etc.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">This is not only for talented designers, but for talented and RICH designers.</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">More is coming...</span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-52580419192443312312009-09-08T05:52:00.001-07:002009-09-09T09:38:56.680-07:00Go 80's without going overboard<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SqZTuspS3jI/AAAAAAAAAE0/TeFjYv_Z5To/s1600-h/80+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SqZTuspS3jI/AAAAAAAAAE0/TeFjYv_Z5To/s200/80+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379078866664087090" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Hi to all my TEENSIZERS out there! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">School started, kids are away and here I am trying to find the right clothes to wear everyday to work. Since my work is not always fashion-related (I teach!) I try to keep updated and fashionable without feeling out of place. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">I had recently gotten a great "blouson" (A garment, such as a dress or shirt, with a fitted waistband over which material blouses.) at </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: courier new;">TARGET for $6.76</span><span style="font-family: courier new;">, following the 80's spitit, I paired it with a cool belt I got from </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: courier new;">H&M at $14</span><span style="font-family: courier new;">, black Capri pants and black sandals, you have no idea how many compliments I got!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">The trick here is going 80's without going overboard, even if you read in magazines, time and again, that shoulder pads are back, <span style="font-weight: bold;">BEWARE</span>, they are not for every body, every style, and every occasion, and they are not your mother's shoulder pads!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Don't dress like a quarterback just yet. We will talk more about the topic,and for now, keep the 80's to the accessories</span>, <span style="font-family: courier new;">and maybe only one piece of clothing at a time.<br /><br />Send you comments or questions, or even better pictures!!!!!!!! and don't forget to join the RSS feed, emails or twitter. </span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-71924056611389775842009-09-04T08:10:00.000-07:002009-09-04T08:22:06.937-07:00great Website- REAL discounts!<span style="font-family:courier new;">I just found a new online store that offers REAL discounts in brand-name pieces. The name is <a href="http://www.beyondtherack.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Beyond the Rack</span></a>, and they call themselves a </span> private shopping club<span style="font-family:courier new;">, which means you have to be invited and sign up for an account. Then, they will send you the sale of the day.<br /><br />Sales last a couple of days only, and they offer clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;">Believe me, it is fun and easy</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I haven't returned anything, but I know they will only return for credit in the store. I wish they will give money back, but I guess they are starting and have to make sure they make a profit. I recommend you to sign in now, when they offer <span style="font-weight: bold;">real discounts</span>. Usually this sites get some "fame" and start being greedier.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Use this invitation code: <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NAR2F062735</span></span></span> <span style="font-family:courier new;">to see if we can win a shopping spree, we will have fun shopping together!!!</span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-17852005012264648112009-09-03T14:20:00.000-07:002009-09-03T14:55:09.568-07:00Feeling ready for Fall Fashion<span style="font-family:courier new;"> <div><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/one-shoulder/set?.mid=embed&id=11842775"><img alt="one-shoulder" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFklya3U2OUtZM2hHcmM4RU5GTnJHNHcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="one-shoulder" border="0" height="400" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Fall Fashion is AMAZING! That's why Vogue becomes encyclopedic for their September issue. Us TEENSIZERS start feeling more confident as we forgot summer dresses and become glamorous and gorgeous.<br /><br />I am feeling ready for graphic styles and color blocking. It is time for a modern and personal twist. We will start putting together some looks, and we already talked about the season's palette, in the mean time, let's start doing some shopping!<br /><br />Two styles that are strongly coming back for the season: stripes(that can look good even horizontally, if you know how to use them) and one-shoulder tops, which I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!! They are fun and sexy, and the diagonal line elongates the torso and neckline, it works for almost anybody.<br /><br />So, to begin with, check out <span style="font-weight: bold;">Old Navy's $10 Fall Sale</span> they've got some really good pieces.<br /><br />And don't forget to subscribe to our email or RSS, I will be checking out stores and posting on the spot... We don't want to miss those sales!!!<br /></div></span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-76403310511275967952009-08-31T06:44:00.001-07:002009-08-31T07:04:59.008-07:00Season's Palette II, Fall 09<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SpvYUhr-HgI/AAAAAAAAAEs/l-IiTZpfXvM/s1600-h/nails+palette.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SpvYUhr-HgI/AAAAAAAAAEs/l-IiTZpfXvM/s320/nails+palette.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376128427348598274" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Continuing our conversation about color palettes, now we know where they come from. The good news, this Fall's palettes are simply gorgeous! so elegant and classy.</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Grey is coming really strong, which is wonderful since there are many shades to choose from. Some tips to keep in mind:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">1.- I highly recommend to use a darker shade as the main color in your wardrobe (especial to those of use who love to wear black). Darker shades are more flattering to a wider variety of skin tones, and great for us, the TEENSIZERS!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">2.- If you are very fair, be careful wearing a too-light shade of gray, it is a great color, but it can't make you look washed-out.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">3.- Combine different shades in one outfit (matchy-matchy is so PASSE), we don't want to look like a walking stainless steel appliance.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">4.- Use pops of colors to bring live to falls hues. I love them, but we cannot allow them to be depressing.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">And that brings me to two of the most relevant complimentary colors for the season: </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: courier new;">Purple</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: courier new;">Ochre/Chartreuse </span><span style="font-family: courier new;">(think Shrek with hepatitis). We will go deeper into this topic, but for know check the nail polish palette proposed by Real Simple magazine. Isn't it great?!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Oh!, and now you can subscribe to a RSS feed or receive emails with the new posts.

The truth is, there are forecasting companies charging tens of thousands of dollars, trends researches and even color psychologists out there trying to figure out what's the next big color for the upcoming season, and by upcoming I mean at least 1.5 years in advance.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">Where do they get the information for their "research"?<br />Well, they look at the economy, social happenings and so, but mostly, they look at what people are wearing, painting, or using over the world. They look at us!!!!!!</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;">Then they produce fabrics, clothes, accessories, make-up, wall paint, etc, and we go out and buy it. A little spike in the use of one color becomes a full-out trend.<br /><br />Let me be clear, they don't go and choose </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >one</span><span style="font-family:courier new;"> color for each season. They propose 8-10 different stories, and each story has a palette of maybe 10-12 colors. Each designer or fashion house chooses what they would like to present.</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;"><br /><br />So, why is this important to us?<br /><br />To begin with, we don't really have an option. Unless you are willing to dye your own clothes, you have to wear whatever is out there.<br /><br />But <span style="font-weight: bold;">we can (and should) use season's palettes to our advantage</span>, and that's what will come up in my future posts.</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;"><br /><br />Please write with any question about the topic, and stay tune for tips on using this Fall's colors.</span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-59035098581495245122009-08-23T06:04:00.000-07:002009-08-23T06:55:25.363-07:00Cheapest...impossible!<span style="font-family:courier new;"><div><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/forever_21/set?.mid=embed&id=11534499"><img alt="Forever 21" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFnhDWnFaX2VQM2hHX05xODR3UndhamcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="Forever 21" border="0" height="400" width="400" /></a><br /><small><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/forever_21/set?.mid=embed&id=11534499">Forever 21</a> by <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?.mid=embed&id=925387">Jalibu</a> featuring <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/forever21/shop?brand=Forever21">Forever21</a></small></div><br /><br />One of the things us frugal TEENSIZERS do, is to get accustomed to buy in a couple of store, and those stores only, which is, in my opinion, a very good strategic move. We know what we will find, and we know the price range.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Now, there is something about the thrill of conquering an unexpected location... and that brings me to </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >Forever 21</span><span style="font-family:courier new;">. I love the look and feeling of the store, it is hip and young, as you can expect from its name, but it presents some serious problem for beautiful TEENSIZERS like us, for starters, their biggest size is L (about 13 in pants), and their fit is closer of that of the junior market.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">That said, I never stop checking it out for two main reasons:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">1- there is </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >simply NO OTHER cheapest place for accessories. </span><span style="font-family:courier new;">I just got the cutest necklace for about $4, and I have received tons of compliments on it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">2- You can, if you are willing to try on a lot of stuff, find great pieces of clothing, but that'll bring me to my next post...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">So, be brave, go and conquer!</span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-75430222100023415042009-08-20T10:19:00.000-07:002009-08-20T11:07:13.705-07:00Gauze Top - tip from reader! :-)<div><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/old_navy_gazy_top/set?.mid=embed&id=11453427"><img alt="Old Navy gazy top" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFkhuSjBhTEdOM2hHTF9nRFE4T0JSN0EAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="Old Navy gazy top" border="0" height="400" width="400" /></a><br /><small><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/old_navy_gazy_top/set?.mid=embed&id=11453427">Old Navy gazy top</a> by <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?.mid=embed&id=925387">Jalibu</a> featuring <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/forever21/shop?brand=Forever21&category_id=2">Forever21</a></small></div><br /><br /><img src="file:///Users/Jon/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /><span class="productName"><span style="font-family:courier new;">Dear "keldel" thanks!<br />This <span style="font-weight: bold;">Old Navy Pintucked Gauze Top</span> is really a great find.<br />It looks very nice by itself, and is also neutral enough to be styled in different ways.

They are very simple pumps, but with delicate details that make them sexy and classy at the same time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">#1- The heel height passes my test, helped by the fact that it has a hidden platform.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">#2- The tapered heels are thin and slender, they look like stilettos, but are supportive enough that I can walk on them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">#3- The rounded toe cap is stylized and feminine, while anatomically forgiving.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">3#- Price was right (</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >around $50 at Nine West outlet stores</span><span style="font-family:courier new;">), but right now they have "buy one, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >get one 50% off</span><span style="font-family:courier new;">" which makes it a much better deal.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I'd love to own something a little funkier for my nights out, but since they are virtually nonexistent I am better off with these.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">They can easily be dressed up for a night out, or even a more formal affair, and they can be beautifully combined with suits and work wear.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">In other words: I got them!</span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-60587816766839903822009-08-15T07:28:00.000-07:002009-08-15T07:45:06.586-07:00BESTEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!! for the Teensizers...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SobJr3GIvRI/AAAAAAAAAD8/hKErV4WH95E/s1600-h/time+cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L3xpPT2N2rQ/SobJr3GIvRI/AAAAAAAAAD8/hKErV4WH95E/s200/time+cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370201361047141650" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Please do yourself a favor and read the August issue of Time Magazine (<a href="http://www.time.com/time/health">www.time.com</a>)about exercise and weight loss "The Myth about Exercise".Their website is a little confusing but I am linking this post directly to their health articles, you should be able to find it. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I NEED to spoil the end of the story:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Yes exercise is good, it is actually great! and necessary, but for weight-loss, we are better off moving more than killing ourselves in the gym.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" >I have never been so excited about a magazine article...</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Full disclosure, I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">OK</span> being a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">TEENSIZER</span></span>, and that's why I promote health and good style for us.

If I don't set up an appointment on my phone, that appointment is missed, 100% sure. That's why I thought this was a great idea. The Mayo Clinic has just updated its website to make family life easier.<br /><a href="https://healthmanager.mayoclinic.com/">https://healthmanager.mayoclinic.com</a><br /><br />I thought it was going to be a website about weight loss and healthy life style, and that would be fine, but it is a lot more than that. You can upload appointments, your personal info, and even receive advise.

We all now we need MANY (and I mean MANY) pairs of shoes. They can dress up or down and outfit, and make your life wonderful or miserable.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">So, to be more specific, I am looking for an everyday pair of heels that you can dress formally to go to work or casually to go to dinner. Based on these conditions I really like the style PASSTA by Steve Madden. Obviously Steve has never dance away in a pair of heels, so his shoes get higher and higher by the minute (that happened to a wonderful designer friend of mine, his renderings were amazing, but if had to actually wear those shoes I would have ended our friendship), but these pair seems to strike the perfect balance.</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"> They also come in Black (which I prefer) and <span style="font-weight: bold;">THEY ARE $19.99 on sale at STEVEN MADDEN STORES!</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">The key word here is "seems", they didn't have them in my size, and I've gone crazy looking for them... We need to try them on!!!!!!</span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431026752861974000.post-88780528859875446112009-08-10T07:33:00.000-07:002009-08-10T13:40:15.660-07:00Looking for the perfect heels!!!!!<span style="font-family:courier new;">Hi all!</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I just came back from Miami. We had a great time, but truth be told, all of those perfect beach bodies are hard in one's self-esteem. One thing I came back with... I have to find the PERFECT pair of high-heels!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">We went clubbing to SANTO (the hottest place in Miami Beach), I hadn't been to a club in maybe 5-6 years and I had forgotten how to dress to go out to a place like that. One thing for sure, you need the tallest heels you can find.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Well, I won't do that, as I mentioned before, I am all for comfort, but I am sure that out there there is a pair of heels that wont send me directly to the chiropractor but that looks cool and hot enough to take to any Miami Beach club. I am looking for anything 3.5" or lower, with a little bit of a platform it could be higher.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I am kindly asking you to join me in my search, and post here the results (it will be a lot of fun to go out and try on heels anyway!). Can wait to see what you find...</span>Mamoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368379734163520832noreply@blogger.com0
