NARS is a great line. I was introduced to Nars a few years ago at Saks who had a NARS makeup artist in that day. She put together a color combination for me that was the best I have seen in my _ _ years! Anyway, I’m hooked! I travel between Saks and Nordstrom in Chicago and Naples, Florida. It is highly-pigmented
color, which is great for my complexion. Here Amy Warp at Nars at International Plaza, Tampa, Florida, is giving me a few beauty tricks. Thank you Amy!

Stopped in at Saks, pleasantly surprised to find triple points and several sales! Bought Marc Jacobs sweater, Saks (real) clothes cool black pants. Bill sold me a pair of Stuart Weitzman and Melissa shoes. Ask for Bill: a great salesman, very knowledgeable and keen eye. Always a stop at the Nars Counter. Brandi is my favorite to show me the newest colors and applications. Fun and beautiful merchandise at Saks!

Love these Michael Kors shoes, but I have a confession to make. I was at International Plaza in Tampa, Florida, this week for double-points at Nordstrom. Five women approached me about the shoes I was wearing. BCBGirls I purchased from Nordstrom a few years ago. They are a brown with a subtle gold/green stripe fabric. Pointed toe, always slimming to the leg, nice heel height. I consider these shoes a neutral, but when I wear them with a solid-color suit, they become a nice bit of eye candy. I’ve had compliments from many men as well as women. Anyway, that day, I could have sold 10 pair without even trying. When upstairs trying on dresses, I had more inquiries about where could they buy my shoes! I say this to designers; when you have a great shoe, bring it back every few years. There’s the good ones that will always be in demand.

Can I ever say enough about Ralph Lauren? Here at Macy’s at Coastland Center in Naples, Florida, these outfits make great additions to our wardrobes. The Ralph Lauren suit with print blouse is a professional look that I can see taking you to your evening date with a quick change of shoes and jewelry and stronger eye shadow. The blouse and pants work on so many levels. Nice for work or how about a casual Saturday night date? Throw a cardigan over your shoulders and you’re ready to go!
In LAUREN by Ralph Lauren petites, our play options give us great bang for our buck. This look brings your everyday wear up several notches. With styles like these, you’ll be wearing these pieces for years to come.

Animal print is in but it’s truly a classic. While it’s best not to overdue it, Ralph Lauren displays a lovely flowing dress in an all-over print that is elegant and fresh. This would be a great addition to your closet for so many occasions. This black dress is another example of why we love black dresses!
These dresses are displayed at the Macy’s at Coastland Center, Naples, Florida.

What can I say? My daughter loves Ralph, I love Ralph, my friends love Ralph. It’s the evening dress; the pick up the kids outfit; the errand outfit; the lunch with girlfriend outfit. Ralph fits me well and I’m “wowed” just about all of the time. From Chicago’s Michigan Avenue to Naples’ Coastland Center; Ralph has it going on! The beauty of this designer is there is something for everyone. There’s the “Collection;” Black Label; Blue Label; Lauren; RLX; Golf; Pink Pony; home furnishings; paint, bedding; etc. Watch for “Ralph Lauren has it going on” fashion on my blog over the next few days.
