Fall is arriving in the stores and the colors are a great combo of vibrant, warm and neutral with a brilliant mix of variations of the tried and true.

Dolce & Gabbana iPad Cases

So Father’s Day is behind us and we ladies have all taken care of the Dad in our life and in many cases, I’m sure he received something techie for his big day. Wouldn’t be a surprise if many Dads got iPads, Kindles, Nooks and/or the appropriate cover to accompany it.  While the men may have settled on the basics….black or brown leather or maybe a step-up to alligator, we techie women have our iPads too but, as usual, our cover(up)s are all about fashion. The reason is simple…every designer is on to this and is making the cover, the hautest new accessory of the moment.  They are available at every price range, color and pattern.  Each designer has come up with clever ways for women to look terribly stylish, chic or whimsical…whoever you are, whatever your style, they have a choice for you.

Well, you can if your dress has built in Shapewear (ala Spanx-like) made right into the garments. That’s the idea behind the new dress collection, NUE by Shani, launched about a year ago and introduced this past weekend at Houston’s Dillards Post Oak. The creation of this dress collection is no small feat and could only be developed by someone that knew a lot about apparel manufacturing, had studied women, their bodies and how to construct garments that fit them properly to look great and feel comfortable at the same time.

I watched the first really important awards show of the season, as a kick-off to a Spring, that is supposed to be a season of minimalism, I must say, I felt a lot of glamour from the ladies at the Globes Sunday night…Beads were everywhere, but I’ll talk about that later.
