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.

Looking forward to watching your favorite horse step onto the track for the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby or the R&B star Mary J. Blige belt out the national anthem? NBC appears to have it covered. After broadcasting the major prep races ahead of Saturday’s run for the roses, the network is extending its commitment to horse racing with 14½ hours of planned Derby coverage.

NBC said it was again relying on what it calls its big event strategy, which includes using NBCUniversal properties to promote the food, fashion, celebrity and entertainment spectacle that makes the Derby a unique event. Last year’s Derby drew 14.54 million viewers, the fourth-most-watched Derby in 21 years.

Other coverage highlights: live segments on Today beginning Friday, including an interview with the Derby-winning jockey and trainer on Sunday; Giants quarterback Eli Manning, the Super Bowl’s most valuable player and this week’s Saturday Night Live host, will take a break from rehearsal to do a live interview Saturday with the Derby host Bob Costas; the celebrity chef Cat Cora will participate in the “Taste of the Derby” on Thursday and appear on Friday’s Oaks coverage; and the E! News host Catt Sadler and Jeannie Mai, host of How Do I Look, will interview celebrity guests and dissect the fashion scene.

Because your very own Jeannie Mai is going to be in Luh-ville, Kentucky for this year’s Kentucky Derby! That means you better be following mai fan page on Facebook , Twitter  and Instagram. Not only will I be reporting the fashion on NBC, I will also be posting everything worth seeing online for YOU.

This also means of course, that I’ve got to get a hat! I can’t even tell you B.U.G.’s how excited I am to pick out just the right one for each of my outfits. I plan on wearing two hats specifically that you’ll be seeing, and one is currently being brought to life as we speak. When I envisioned a piece that would be unique and celebratory of the Derby, I knew I had to call upon my exquisitely talented designer friend, Emiliano Moreno. Emiliano has made many exclusive garments for me on my show “How Do I Look  to special events, like my speaking engagement for the Maria Shriver Women’s conference.

I also just got special news. Emiliano has shared with me a glimpse of the piece he’ll be creating for me. Here’s a preview of it’s before pic:

I want to come up with a name for Emiliano’s creation when it’s done. (I love naming special pieces of mai wardrobe.) From the look and color of it so far, can you help me?

This Monday, I’m honored to be invited to join the panel of speakers of FAAB- Fashion and Beauty Blogger Conference. Here, actors and hosts within the industry will speak with influential bloggers about the impact of fashion on television and how the styles of characters influence society. I love discussions like this because it’s always invigorating to meet passionate people. Plus I enjoy seeing the different forums people will use to celebrate style, which in turn makes me so proud to do mai part to encourage dressing up our identity.

What kind of things do you want to know about fashion within the television industry? Have you been influenced in your personal lives from shows or characters you watch onscreen? What would you ask if you could be at this conference, and do follow me on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to see mai details about this fabulous event.

In Atlanta I challenged everyone to dress purposefully in a color that best represents the message they want to convey. Look at this dollface here who tweeted me a picture of her a radiant ensemble around red.

Red is a color that can symbolize action, confidence, courage. The floral notes add a youthful fresh touch- this would be a perfect outfit to wear out shopping with friends, or even on a date to tell him you’re looking forward to making it a fun day!

Your turn! Tweet/ post on my Facebook page pics of you in your fave red pieces, love to see em!
