Discover your Rockport style…

Phoenix friends, I am in your hood to help YOU discover your shoe style from Rockport Shoes, which I heart. Classy and comfy, what more can a gal want?  See me 2mo, May 12th inside Dillards’ shoe department at Scottsdale Fashion Square.

Discover your Rockport style May 12th inside Dillards’ amazing shoe department at Scottsdale Fashion Square.

Fashion expert Jeannie Mai, from The Style Network and the Today  Show, will be in store from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday for an “Ask the Expert: Discover Your Rockport Style” event, showcasing the latest in hot styles to rock this summer from Rockport Shoes!

I had the pleasure of having Jeannie answer a few of “mai” fashion questions before this weekend’s event. Enjoy the fashion tips from the expert and we’ll see you on Saturday!

Fashion Phoenix: What’s the biggest fashion mistake women make that you see most often?
Jeannie Mai: I often see women wearing clothes that don’t fit properly. I always say “if you don’t have fit, you don’t have fashion.” Even the very best ensemble can look horrendous if it doesn’t show off a woman’s body the way it is meant to be shown.

What’s hot for summer 2012 trends?
This summer’s hot trends list includes apparel and accessories in mints and oranges. Sexy sherbet shades of these colors are by far two of the most popular we are seeing show up the most in handbags, shoes, sandals and even nail color. Thanks to brands like NYX with their new Hot Orange nail color, the trend will be right at your fingertips.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, what’s your pick for hot jeans for mommie who need help ditching “the mom jeans” look?
Not Your Daughters Jeans has an amazing amount of elastic stretch to feel comfortable wherever you go. Another secret I have always loved is Old Navy jeans. At under $40 a pop, they come in an array of styles that last so long and the fit is so amazing.

What are your styles of Rockport Shoes for summer?
I have to say that the Janae Pump in silver is a “Mai Musty” for sure. It has a fun platform heel which is perfect to dress up daytime meetings. Yet for evening soiree’s it has just the right amount of sparkle, and most importantly, comfort to last you through the night.

I am also really loving the Audry Quarter Strap Sandal in Orange – the shade is flattering on practically every skin tone. And hello… adiPRENE by adidas technology makes it as comfortable as it is fashionable.

Stretch your Style– 3 Ways to Wear

I always teach my friends how to shop strategically. Sure, there’s those signature finds you just must own because you’ll never find em again, but the best way to get most bang outta ur buck is to shop for pieces you can wear in various ways. A surefire way for me to buy is if I can think of 3 ways I can wear that top, skirt, scarf, etc, right there in the store. Not only will you love the diverse closet you’ll have of mix and match staple items, but you’ll also stretch your styling muscles to be more creative in your unique couture. Remember friends: Fashion fades, but style is eternal!

Kim Kardashian kisses n tells..in a glossy way to give back.

This week I sat with Kim to cover the her exciting new involvement with Fusion Beauty’s new lipgloss, a line of lip plumping glosses that obviously work extremely well for the gorgeous girl. My fave part about this lineup is the “Kiss Away Poverty” Campaign, in which $1 from every sale of Infatuation and Lipfusion glosses goes towards Seven Bar Foundation to help end poverty among women!! It was awesome talking with Kim’s passion over makeup with her artist Troy Jensen and sharing her fave beauty secret. So here’s the scoop– try it out! (MAC’s Vanilla Pigment totally gets the job done right, too )  Do get out there  to Sephora and check out the line –Sugar Rush is my personal fave!

A Fashion-Forward Find in the Fashion District

Shiny me. I just have to share this new fave find of mine in the fashion — Beauty in the City. Located in the depths of downtown LA, this store is a freakn gem. I don’t know if I love more the adorable employees and store owner, Mindi, who are so “on it’ like a bonnet about fast service and diligent help, but this woman knows how to buy banging things. Sick boots, awesome use of feathers and pearls, even lace bibs for layering. This belt here is one of my faves, under $20, and do look out for more gems on my show How Do I Look! Thanks Mindi!

Feeling weightless with Ali from The Biggest Loser…and my Switchflops

Sexy in Switchflops Yesterday I met the beautiful, and might I add, sexy skinny Ali- biggest winner of last season’s Biggest Loser on the actual set of the show. No really, the biggest thing on this new svelte star was her huge smile. She looks like a person who is really happy with herself. It’s that self made glow! When I jumped on the show’s infamous scale with her I felt like we were shooting and had both won because her energy was so infectious. Yano why else I was overjoyed in excitement?  Miss Lindsay Phillips and her dreamy footloose Switchflop flats that I’m wearing here. No, really–these things are saving my life right now in between all these lengthy shoots I run back to back in. After standing for hours in haute heels, not only do my feet go scurrying for these comfy kicks, but only Switchflops keep me struttin in my own sassy style with their snappy styles I can switch and change. Lu-Uv! (Doesn’t hurt that I heart the designer, Lindsay herself who is too stinkin cute!)  Anyway,  do tune in to me on How Do I Look on Style Network or Extra TV to see more of my fave fashions. MWA guys!

Me and Biggest Loser -Ali the WInner!

Asking YOURSELF “How Do I Look?”

me with actress bella thorne at brent shapiro black white ball “Giving yourself a makeover is easier than you think– I do it all the time in my very own home. It’s essential to refresh the areas you spend the most time getting ready so that each morning you hustle to get dressed out the door, you’re not reaching for that same brown liner and nude gloss that’s within easy reach. Here are a few easy tips on how to start!”…

For the rest of this blog, hit up my post here on 944 Magazine. Enjoy friends!

Mmmmm….Rawlicious Raw Food

This week I felt like I needed a detox.

Oh sweet jesus yum.

Maybe cuz I went overboard on the vino from Labor Day, maybe because I was feeling lonely driving up and down the bare La Brea streets as the rest of LA decides to leave me for Labor Day, but either way there I was for lunch, craving something hearty and healthy and wholesome-ly cleansing…and the cayenne lemonade thing was not gonna do it. Better yet, I knew exactly where to go because not only would I get the most filling wholesome detox meal ever, but I’d get an OVER fill of love and appreciation to see my great friend Tigre at the same time. So off I went to Chef Rawsheed’s Sun Power Natural Cafe in Studio City, LA.

Ok, not only did I sit down in the most adorable lil corner cafe to a DELICIOUS delightful meal of the “BBQ Burger” made out of sunflower bread, marinated mushrooms and onions and a Raw Marninara Pizza with Cashew Cheese and this “chorizo” thing made out of something stupid fantastic that I literally had an orgasm in this public place. Ok, maybe I’m taking it overboard.. .but I seriously LOVED it. I’m a hugie foodie for anything, but especially Raw. I went Raw for 30 days a few months ago and have adopted the holistic way of eating into my diet whenever I can. But the best part to this yummy blog isn’t so much the food- but about the beautiful heart behind the delicious dishes made. My great friend and Chef Tigre is the newest member to the team who adds the life and zest to the entire place beyond the food. Here’s just a lil clip that captures the passion this man has for his food:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS0KBXB1HSU[/youtube]

Anyway, make your way out there and do give Chef Tigre a huge hug for me. And congrats him cuz his glow isn’t just from his delish dishes, but also from just getting engaged! For more info on what going Raw is like, check out this awesome clip from another fave Raw femme of mine that exudes beauty, wholesome, and delicious diva all in one name: Gabrielle Brick. Oh my gosh..if my video and pics didn’t urge u to try raw, this yummy video of Gabrielle will. I like when u say her name backwards fast it says “Brill”- cuz she is, if you haven’t tried her genius ONE Raw chocolate bars. Yummmmm…

Mai Musts–Click’n Kicks

There are certain things besides Fergie’s lyrics that are “200-late”: following the FDA’s food pyramid of consuming 6-11 bread servings a day, having thick acrylic nails, and wearing Ugg boots in 90 degree weather- with jeans. (Stop it LA!) But for the last year I’ve been so ahead of mai time with this new discovery that I’ve decided to completely put it on blast after hearing myself raving about em yet again today.

Shoelaces.

Tying em, tripping over em, frustrating kids with the loopholes of learning em (thanks Drew!)… I’m over em altogether!! Know why? Cuz…heh heh, I’ve discovered the absolute SHIZ of sneakers that will leave you clicking your heelz for more.

BOA Lacing System …on Northface shoes. Brillz all the way. We’re talkin a literal genius lacing system in which you can pop your foot in and out of a well laced shoe in seconds because of an adorable lil contraption inconspicuously tucked in the back to provide quik click lacing.

  • Boa® multi-adjust lacing system. This system helps the shoe become more reliable and responsive while eliminating pressure points through even distribution. Made for 19-strand aircraft-grade steel, Boa® is impervious to the elements because it can’t freeze or soak like regular shoelaces making it perfect for all-weather conditions and the ultimate in durability. Loosening and adjusting is easier than ever with Boa®’s quick release mechanism.

Think security at airports, getting the kids outta the house, removing your shoes to get into your apartment AGAIN after remembering you forgot your blackberry halfway down the street.

Ugh. If only BOA could hold my B-berry, too.
