The Best $25 Oxford Shirts in White and Denim

August 21, 2013 Melissa Meyers

Lately I have been wearing white or denim shirts not only on their own, but as a layering piece instead of a light-weight jacket when dressing casually. I found these from Old Navy while shopping for my daughter Rachel's Thailand trip this summer. They look great and the price is right!

Long and Below the Knee Dresses Can Make You Look Taller

July 29, 2013 Melissa Meyers

Did you know that long dresses can make you look taller? I am only 5'4 and used to be afraid to wear them because of my petite body type. I recently purchased a few of these dresses to change up my style a bit and realize that I actually look and feel taller in them. The trick is all in the shoes! It's very flattering if you go simple with the dress and wear it with a high wedge or platform shoe. For those lucky girls who are blessed with height, you can also sport this look with flat sandals. Always add fun accessories when wearing a solid color!

A long dress should be hemmed to fall about 1/4 inch from the floor creating one clean long line. Front of shoes should just peek out.

Dannijo Necklace Obsession

July 22, 2013 Melissa Meyers

I have a bit of a history with the fab jewelry designers of Dannijo, Danielle and Jodie Snyder! When I was Creative Director of PageDaily, I did a video interview with the uber chic design duo and I am still blown away by their ability to create the most fabulous and unique pieces. My latest obsession from them...
