You're Invited: Holiday Open House

SHOP LOCAL!

Christmas is the best time to support local businesses.  I know the big stores have all the MEGA sales & discounts, but if you really want to get creative and do something meaningful this Christmas - SHOP LOCAL! 

Small shops and boutiques offer so many wonderful benefits---here are just a few:

• Unique items & selections you won't find in Department stores.  Give people something they haven't seen before!
• USA made products.  Many small boutiques specialize in products that are made here in the US---not coming from a boat over-seas!  Supporting our local economy.
• Service!!  When you purchase from a boutique, you're often dealing directly with the owner and they want you to be happy. 
• Ambiance, gift wrapping & more. 

NO LONG LINES        NO PARKING / TRAFFIC ISSUES    NO OVER-CROWDED STORES

IT'S 100 DEGREES...READY FOR FALL?

TRANSITION TO FALL FASHION
Look Lovely in Layers!
By Laura Schedler
    I know, I know - there's still plenty of Summer left and with temps at 105 degrees, it's hard to think about anything but cool sun-dresses and a crisp Chardonnay!  However, the Fashion world is always a season ahead of us and it's time to think Fall.  Fall is my favorite season for many reasons:  not too hot, not too cold;  I can put my swim-suit away; and I have more style options!
        Fall is all about layering and textures.  So here are a few ideas to easily change from Summer to Fall:
1.  Add a light-weight sweater to your favorite summer dress or sleeveless top. 
2.  Accessorize with Scarves.  Invest in different textures, colors, etc.  Scarves add a touch of warmth on a cool evening or too air conditioned office. 

3.  Resurrect your blazers.  A well-fitted blazer with a cami or summer blouse over a favorite pair of jeans and you're ready for a Fall Festival; late summer outdoor concert; or Coffee networking meeting. 
  

Open weave, lite-weight.  Wear over a t-shirt or cami. Teal blue/green, Orange and Gray

Beautifully embellished details, Ivory or Black

These sweaters are Perfect for Layering into Fall.  Find these and more at "IT'S JUST YOUR STYLE & FRIENDS" on Sutter St. in Old Folsom.

2 GOLDEN RULES OF STYLE

Do you:

Think you have be a certain “size” to have style?

Consider style as something that requires “money”?

Wear the same “best” outfit to every important meeting or social event?

            Well, getting older or poorer is no excuse to get stuck in a style rut!  While there are several TIPS to Fashion Success, let’s start with what I consider are the 2 golden rules of STYLE:

1.      Having STYLE has nothing to do with what Size you are.  It’s about making the most of your shape.  Ignore the number on the label.  How does it look on your body?  How do you feel wearing it?  The size means nothing.  Often, I go up a size to fit into that extra snug skirt or denim – it’s the results I’m looking for.  Determine what shapes work best on your figure and then go for it.  (more on that later)

2.      STYLE does not have to break the BANK!  Whether you spend $20, $200, or $2000---looking good is not about money, it’s about Style.  Fashion style is about attitude, feeling confident – knowing what suits you and what doesn’t is a great way to start.

Remember, “It’s about STYLE, and style never goes out of FASHION.”

(Victoria Beckham, book That Extra half an Inch)

How often do you think about....Fashion?

The average man thinks about sex around 20 times a day with the average woman thinking about it only half as often.

However, it turns out that we think about fashion way more: nine times more in fact!

A British survey also found that the total amount of time spent contemplating fashion on any given day is one hour and 19 minutes. That’s 30 days spent every year.

Over ten per cent of respondents admitted they thought about fashion more than anything else on a daily basis – including friends, family and work.

So often do you think about FASHION?

* Do you plan out your wardrobe for the next day?  the next week?

* Do you think about what you'll wear to a special outing?  BBQ?  Dinner?  Movie?

* Do look at Fashion magazines?

* How about Pinterest?  (my latest thing!)

* This list could go on & on, right?

This is an intriguing subject....tell me--how often DO YOU think about Fashion?  I'd love to hear from you.

The Perfect Swimsuit!

Ugh!  It's that time of year--time to find a new swim-suit.  Actually, I really don't need a new swim-suit--I don't have pool in my yard; I don't belong to a swim club; I'm not going on a beach vacation.  I rarely need to wear a swimsuit.  So why do I put myself through it?  Because, it always feels like if I could just find the "perfect" suit, all would be right in the world!

So, I'm in TJ Maxx the other day & I noticed they had a pretty good selection, so I armed myself with assorted styles, colors, & Sizes and headed to the fitting rooms.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  It appears that swimsuit designers are finally getting it mostly right.  There are some pretty good options out there and here's what I found:

The Skirt:  Be careful with these.  It's deceiving.  It might seem like putting a skirt on will hide & camouflage--but for me, stretching more fabric across my rear was not great option. I decided against this--but it might work for you.  I would make sure the skirts are "short" and not too long.  Also, if you go with a skirt--try a bra style top.  The balance gives an amazing look.

Shirring:  This was my best option.  The more Shirring the better!!  Shirring covers all lumps, bumps, bloating, muffin tops, etc.  I think it works for everyone--.  Love it! 

Miracle Suit:  These suits are made of super Lycra that will suck you in a whole size!  However, just try taking these suits off--it's a struggle!  In fact, It's a Miracle to get the darn thing off without pulling something!  Try the Miracle Suit - you might have to size up for comfort.  They're very TIGHT.

Wrap Suit:  Just like the wrap dress--gives you a Waist!  Very pretty.  Add some shirring to the wrap and now you've got a real winner!  The perfect suit for me!


So, I'm still searching...not sure if I found the perfect suit, but I was very close.  It's always humbling to stand in the dressing room, with the mirrors, the Untanned skin, the lighting, etc.  Think I'll stick to Fruit only for lunch for a while.....

SIZE---DOESN'T MATTER!

OK ladies - one of my pet peeves is that we're all hung up on what SIZE we are.  We need to get over it!  It's not about the SIZE, it's about the the FIT.  Choose what FITS you ---don't even look at the size tag.  I'm pretty much a size 10, but will range any where from an 8 to a 12, a Small to an XL, a Jr. size 9 to a 13 ---- you get the picture.  If it's a slimmer fit, I usually have to size up, but if it looks great, who cares?  And please - make sure it FITS your body.  Show off your curves and best assets.  We're not all a size 0 on America's Top Model.  So, that's my STYLE Tip #1--Don't be hung up on SIZE. 

Now - go try on the CELLO JEANS at It's Just Your Style on Sutter St..  Jr. Sizes - don't be afraid.  Try on several sizes to get the right fit---they are the most flattering, HOT looking denim you will wear!  Designer look without the designer price--select styles on Sale now, $45 (reg. $55). 

Sneak Peek - you're invited!

Off & running

It's Just Your Style & friends in Old Folsom has a new look and improved location.    There was lots of buzz last weekend (2nd Saturday and Antique Fair).   Very exciting.

I'm selling Pretty Angel tops and Cello Denim.  Pretty Angel is a very fun, pretty & feminine line.  Lots of lace embellishments--sizes run LARGE so don't be she.  I have more inventory coming next week. (Turquoise colors coming soon--beautiful!). 

Stop by & check us out.

Welcome Spring!

I'm getting ready to deliver my new merchandise to Kathy's store, "It's Just Your Style" on Sutter St. in Folsom.  Pricing and tagging.  Can't wait to see everything in her new store setting.

Bringing back memories of the days when my husband was a sportwear sales rep - sorting through 200 + samples--steaming, hanging, organizing.  Then, taking it all on the road to sell.  We had a lot of fun--but it was a ton of work!  (we were MUCH younger!!)

Spring - time for something New

Introducing another new item for Bugsy's Charming Boutique--this line of clothing is soft & feminine with lace embellishments. It's fun to wear for casual or a special evening. Colors are mostly basics so you can add a pop of your own color underneath, wear with denim, etc.

You can see all of my new items at "It's Just Your Style" in Old Folsom, beginning mid-April.  815 Sutter St.

Expanding...

Bugsy's Boutique is now expanding. I've added Denim, clothing, and other misc. items that are all Charming, Unique, and Distinctive.

I'll be showcasing these new items, along with Jewel Kade, at any Events that I participate in. Additionally, you'll find all these new products (excluding jewelry) at a cute little boutique in Folsom called, It's Just Your Style (815 Sutter St.)

I'm sure everyone is thinking...why are you doing this? Why not just sell Jewel kade? The answer is - I've always wanted to dapple in a clothing boutique and recently some things have fallen into place & I feel compelled to go this direction.

I've always loved fashion & I especially love finding things that are different from the standard off the rack department store selections (AND affordable!) Right now my selections will be small and somewhat limited - but I hope to gradually expand and one day bring eveything together in some sweet little boutique somewhere. But, not now - I'm taking very baby steps first! Wish me luck!

LADIES NIGHT IN OLD FAIR OAKS

SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 6:00 - 9:00 PM

Fair Oaks Clubhouse in Old Fair Oaks

$10 advance, $15 at the door

I'm looking forward to this event and seeing the Fair Oaks community.  It should be a lot of fun with Wine tasting, food, interesting shopping, raffle prizes and so much more.

I'm revamping my event display -- which always takes a lot of energy and time to recreate--but it's something I love doing.  This year I'm planning on kicking it up a notch -- which means more time and spending more money on display stuff - but I can't resist.

For this event I'll be showcasing the new Spring Jewel Kade - coming out March 1.  There's always great new things--can't wait to share with you.

Additionally, I have a few "Surprises" to introduce.  Adorable handcrafted items with a vintage flair--cute and affordable.  I'll only have these items at "events" so please stop by to see these new things, as I won't have them at JK Hostess parties. 

Finally, I have some retired JK pieces that I'll have for sale cash/carry.  Come & get em'

Hope to see you Saturday night!
