Ahhh, this episode was a doozy. I can still remember standing there just bewildered at how Illiana, our guest on this week’s episode, tried everything to talk herself out of a makeover. If she walked off the show with even just a shirt that fit over her midriff, I would have been thrilled! However, at the end of the day Illiana had an amazing heart and turned when she saw how her ill-fitted clothing actually made her appear 2-3 sizes bigger than she actually was! She later told me off camera that she never realized the effects of her style could later teach her daughter the same low self-esteem, too. It was an episode I hope all mothers and daughters were able to bond over. What did you guys think?

And of course, here’s Mai Closet from this episode. Fun pieces, and especially representing a beautiful designer from Saigon, Vietnam named Rana Abodeely below. Enjoy, and of course tell me what your thoughts are all around!

Look 4: Ahhhh! This was such a banging outfit for me because I was able to rock a “Roe”! Besides the blushing blue bf jacket that I so had to have the minute I perused Lit Noir’s collection, it was just perfect to pair with delish designer Victoria Roe, a talented (new Mrs!) I discovered in Saigon Vietnam. Her styles are incredibly loose and breezy in a contemporary chic way. Look out for this upcoming week’s pictures of me at the Style Network’s Give and Get Fete event where I’ll be wearing another one of her SIZZLING pieces from this collection!

Look 5: Wow wow wow. Can you believe this entire outfit is like… 60 bangin bucks without accessories?? I LOVE that my stylista Bory Tan will dig from rags to riches for fashion finds…which is why we snagged this skirt at Forever 21.  And you really don’t need any further accessories with the skirt being so prominent with bold buttons against the fun bubble shape. There’s nothing like pairing a crisp business shirt with anything, adds a profesh zest to any girly piece. And I especially adore the bodyshit shirts from Vicky Secrets, super affordable, and allows you to twist, reach, and bend without having to re-tuck!

Ahoy, style fans! The nautical trend is making some serious fashion waves for spring 2010.

With Chanel, Chloé, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton showcasing classic nautical styles in their 2010 resort collections and a sea of spring runway looks from the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Jean Paul Gaultier and DKNY featuring the trend, it’s time to anchor your wardrobe with stripes, buttons and all things sailor chic.

But how do you wear these styles without looking like you’re actually in the Navy?

“It’s about choosing one item as the main statement for the look,” celebrity stylist Britt Bardo (Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson) tells StyleList. “You don’t want to wear a top and bottom that scream nautical. It then becomes overkill and doesn’t look effortless, and will look too much like a uniform.”

“Work a few pieces into your wardrobe subtly in order to keep this look from becoming costumey,” agrees Jeannie Mai, host of “How Do I Look?” on The Style Network. “No need to overdo it with colors, stripes, Dockers and anchor earrings.”

Here are more tips on how to shape up the nautical look:

Beyond the striped shirt:

• Bardo suggests trying a jacket or blazer with gold metal buttons, blue and white striped shoes, a striped blazer paired with navy skirt or white shorts, a gold necklace with an anchor charm or striped belts as new ways to incorporate nautical pieces into your style routine.
• “The great thing about this fashion trend is its ability to be styled multiple ways,” she says. “Pair classic navy and white stripes with red or yellow accessories for a twist.”
• Karolyn Wangstad, vice president of trend direction for JCPenney, says to consider classics: walking shorts, jean jackets in white or indigo, oxford shirts, polo knits, wide-leg pants and even white cotton and eyelet. “Eyelet always goes with the seashore,” she says.

And about those stripes:

• “Be mindful of where you place them,” Bardo says. “If you have a small chest, wearing a striped shirt can give you the appearance of a larger bust; conversely stripes worn across larger hips will only make them appear wider.”
• Mai says in fashion, everything can be done in moderation. “Balance a striped top with a solid cardigan or wrap, and make sure to still show off your natural figure by using a belt or shrug to show off your silhouette around those stripes,” she says.
• Wangstad says the key for curvier women is to avoid stripes that pull across the chest or the hip. “Choose a stripe in a woven or knit that is fluid and softly skims the body,” she says. “This season, many looks show the stripe layered under a navy blazer or a more casual jean jacket or shirt. By layering the stripe, the look is trend relevant with a hint of the stripe peaking out from beneath the blazer.”

Accessorize it:

• “A brown leather belt with a striped dress gives it a bit of an earthy organic feel,” Bardo says. “And I love big chunky gold jewelry with the nautical look.”
• Mai says rope accents are a fun and unique way to cinch in a waist or belt an over-sized shirt. “Navy and white stripes (paired) with a solid color of anything but white conveys originality,” she says. “And don’t forget hats. Have you seen yourself in a cute bucket hat tilted back with a low, side pony?”
• Also, behold the button. “It’s so inexpensive to add your own unique buttons to any pea coat, skirt or even along a crisp button-up shirt,” Mai says. “You can find fun sailor-inspired buttons anywhere at a craft store, and can switch your favorite pieces up for the seasons.”

My favorite thing about shooting segments for the Daily 10 is how freaking FUN those guys let me be. Overcast day, 2 hottie models, and LSpace suits to make a big splash?

Yes please.

Here are some pics from our shoot where I breakdown the best trends for 2010. My fave piece? Hellooo.. my monokini with FRINGE!!! U’ve GOT to check out their new 2010 collection. To die!! Omg, the sweet and saucy ruffles on bust AND booty for all you *tarts* out there? Thanks LSpace for the fab piece- now if I could just find a grocery store to wear it to. 

No idea when it’ll air, check my twitter for updates!

*Great pics courtesy of my J-babe. Thanks Jocelyn

Thank you all for watching! Thank you Camilla and Tim for helping me pull this off together. Thank you Style, the always lovely Lindsay, and Dom for being the absolute host to make sure I had everything I need- esp rest. Thank you Nightlight Jewelry and LAS. Oh, and of course..my Gaga-licious sighting? Ok, there I was on Delta airlines red eye to NY, and in she comes to sit in my row, in a strait up red zip up velour tracksuit with a super million watt bedazzled jacket that could have lit up the city itself. No, this outfit was not cute, but as we all know Gaga makes it work like no other. She had full drag makeup on with lashes longer than mine (and if anyone knows me they know I put RuPaul to shame with my falsies.) Long story short, at the end of our flight I didn’t know if I should have even done this since it’s like 5 AM and nobody feels like talking- but I said, “Lady G, I just have to tell you thanks. Thank you for empowering young people with creativity and a message of love… And girl, I haven’t see velour like that since Hugh Hef and Britney’s bridal shower but wow u make it work.”  She died and gave me a hug with thanks. I love Gaga, man.

K I’m off to bed now for an Extra day tomorrow ! Heart you guys !~

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!
