How To Elongate Your Legs
BCBG Max Azria gold pumps
$72 - heels.com
Trade in your basic black for a pair of nude or skin tone heels. This is a closet staple because not only do nude color high heels go with almost any outfit, but they are the go-to shoes to elongate your legs. Celebrities use this trick all the time. This also applies to metallics, like silver and gold as well.
A good tip to know is if your calves or legs are strong or more athletic looking, go for a pair of skin tone high heels that have a thicker heel like the Tori Burch shoes above. This will balance out the bulkiness in the legs giving more streamlined length visually. However a very thick wedge can make your legs look thicker too, so it's all about balance and tricking the eye.
Also remember that ankle straps are not for everyone, especially if they are not skin tone because if your legs are on the thicker side, the horizontal straps visually cut the length of your leg making them look shorter and even more thicker. So if you are not blessed with skinny or long legs, stick with a nude pump, which is the most flattering and elongating of the bunch, like the Diane Von Furstenberg pumps shown above. They are simply timeless and classic and will go with almost anything in your closet.

Outfit Ideas: Weekend casuals
OPI Nail Lacquer In ‘Over The Taupe’
I love neutrals and I love the comfy and casual. I put together this outfit to show that you can add color like the blue/purple braided belt and the mustard yellow jersey snood to this neutral outfit to give it depth. The trick to making it still look neutral is by getting the tones right when you add color. I also love the brown leather backpack worn over one shoulder, making this outfit perfect for a weekend of shopping with your girlfriends:)

Happy New Year!
Sequence! Sequence! Sequence! New Year's is the best time to bring out the sparkle! I especially love gold and silver for New Years and you can definitely get away with layering on the sparkle without looking too tacky for this night. Its the best holiday to go all out!

Long Skirt Trends
I am totally in love with the long skirt trend right now for the winter, especially when its paired with something more rough like a leather jacket or chunky sweater. Wear the outfit with some thick heeled booties and add accessories to complete the look!
