Shopping For Your Body Type

I hate when people shop trends, instead of what looks good on their body. Friends tell me I look good in everything, but the truth is that I know what looks good on my body and what doesn’t.  I know to stay away from midi skirts, boyfriend jeans, and anything that has too much fabric because it swallows me up.  Women need to know what looks good on their shape.  I see so many woman walking around in clothes that are stylish, but are so unflattering on their body.   Women should know that you can’t just walk into a store and purchase what looks good on the mannequin or what the sales woman tells you everyone is buying now.  I never shop for my clients based on trends, or based on what looks good on me. Dress for your shape and size and not a trend. Check out these different body shapes below and see what styles you should be shopping for.

Apple Shape (Triangle downwards) This is generally described as “top-heavy”.

Suggested Look: I chose this red dress because it has great coverage on top and I like the black detail which I think gives a slimming affect.  The waist cinches in and the bottom ruffle draws the eye down.  The black dress is another great option.  With the sheer sleeve it still shows skin and has coverage at the same time and loose around the middle but gathers at the middle creating a waist.  And the the uneven hem is very flattering for the legs.

Pear Shape: Hips are wider than your shoulders.

Suggested look: The key is to draw the attention to the top of your body and keep bottoms on the darker and more basic side.   Avoid anything bulky on top so that you accentuate your sleek more petite upper half. This red lace dress with delicate spaghetti straps and higher waist is a great way to hide the lower part of the body.

And this black dress, although much more fitted, brings your eye to the top of the dress due to the simple bottom and more interesting top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rectangle Shape: Basically no significant size difference from the the shoulders, waist and hips.

Suggested look: Something that creates a waist to give the illusion of more shape. The light dress with its gathered fabric by the chest and around the hips creates the illusion of curves and a more voluptuous silhouette.  It is more fitted by the waist to bring everything in.  The red dress also creates the illusion of a waist because of the wide off the shoulder top and the flare pleated bottom.

 

 

Hourglass (Triangles opposing, facing inwards): This shape is curvy on the bottom and top with a small waist.

Suggested look: Anything that brings attention to the waist.  Embrace the shape and do not wear anything that hides it. Thats why I chose this white dress with corset middle which brings attention waist. I also love this form hugging black dress with a wide scoop neck.  Both dresses show off that beautiful hour glass shape, without being revealing.

Keep in mind these four shapes are only a general guide.  No woman’s body is exactly the same so it is really is important to know your body and build your style from there.

Happy Shopping!

New In My Wardrobe

Im always looking for new things to add to my wardrobe and as a fashion blogger, it literally is my job to keep my wardrobe on point.  I love shopping so thats one of my favorite things about my job, but constantly updating a wardrobe in Winter (such a long season) can be challenging.  Sweaters seem to be the only thing practical in these freezing temperatures.  One fun place to update a wardrobe is always with a new pair of jeans.  I wear jeans everyday so finding a pair that makes my outfit feel different (wash,high, low, skinny or straight leg l etc) is something I always look for.  Intermix has a great selection of jeans so I headed there.   One brand I have been wanting to try is L’Agence and a girlfriend raved about the Margot Prime Vintage which is basically a belly button rise skinny just above the ankle length and a the wash was a clean dark blue denim with no rips.  When the package came and I tried them on, they literally fit like a glove.  Sucked in and hugged my curves in all the right places.  I also love that they are the stretch denim that doesn’t get bigger as you wear them.  Next purchase was a pair of black pants.  A good pair of black pants is a wardrobe essential.  Styles and fit usually change season to season so when I come across a good pair its always a smart purchase.  Since my day to day wardrobe is gym gear or jeans I don’t really have the need for anything too dressy.  So when a friend told me about a pair of black “sateen”pants by Rag & Bone that fit like a jean, this was a perfect pant for me.  They are a great fit and the black shiny fabric, which looks like satin, make this pant super sleek and sexy.  I am very happy with my two wardrobe additions. I would love to hear about whats new in your wardrobe?

Happy Shopping!

Stylish Winter Boot Finds

Its only January and I’m already over this winter weather and my wardrobe.  Its freezing outside and the streets are a slushy mess so our options for fashion are definitely limited.  When we are  walking around New York City Streets dressed like eskimos, the only fashion statement to be made is on our feet.  So with almost 4 more months of winter to go, there is no such thing as having to many winter boots.  The good news is that you don’t need to spend a fortune to keep it stylish.  Check out my finds below which are for the most part $250 and under.

Happy Shopping!

Honored To Be Big City Moms “Supermom”

We all want to look our best, but for many moms, keeping up with fashion can sometimes feel like another item on a never-ending to-do list. Personal stylist Stefanie Bash aims to help, with her innate sense of style and the ability to put together a great look without overspending. We spoke with Stefanie about a fall fashion must-have, her weekly date night, and a hilarious white lie involving martial arts.

Congratulations on your business, Eye4StyleNYC! What inspired you to launch a career as a personal stylist?

Fashion and shopping have always been a passion of mine. I have always had an eye for creating outfits with both high-end and low-priced clothes. One day at lunch with friends, a girlfriend asked me to help her update her wardrobe, and I realized this is what I should be doing for work. I was at a point in my life where I wanted to be working, but doing something I love, and this was the answer.

Are there any fashion must-haves our readers should be looking for this winter?

I love that Timberland and Dr. Martens-style lace-up boots are back! I love the way they look, but they are also warm and practical for running around with the kids.

Has becoming a mom to two boys changed your personal style at all?

Yes! I have definitely taken on a more sporty style. My heels have been replaced with sneakers.

If you could hand off one chore to someone else each day, what would it be? 

Dinner. I always feel like I’m a short order cook when it comes to dinner. The boys are never hungry at the same time or hungry for the same food.

What is your favorite thing to do to relax and unwind? 

Once a week my husband and I go out for an early date night. This is my favorite night of the week. It’s adult time with uninterrupted conversation, a nice glass of wine, good food, and we’re home in time to put the kids to bed.

What is your best parenting hack? 

My three-year-old doesn’t want to miss out on anything, so when it’s his bedtime, we pretend that it’s everyone’s bedtime. We all say goodnight, and shut the TV and lights off.

What is the best white lie that you’ve told your child?

That I know karate. This little white lie started about two years ago, and I think my older son might still believe it. One night my husband was working late, and my son heard some noises outside and got scared. I told him not to worry because I knew karate and that even if my husband was home, I would be the one protecting him from the bad guys anyway.

If you could describe motherhood/fatherhood in one word, what would it be? 

Blessed.

What’s one moment in your motherhood journey that has made you proud?

Motherhood is full of so many proud moments, but one that always makes me smile is when I overhear my kids praise someone else for doing a good job or giving a friend a boost when they may have struck out in a game. 

What is one piece of advice you want to pass along to your children?

Always be a compassionate leader.

What is one piece of advice you would pass along to other moms?

As a mom, you meet a lot of parents who have different parenting styles and values. I’ve learned the hard way that if I don’t feel comfortable with something involving my kids, even if the other parent is fine with it, I need to speak up. The few minutes of feeling uncomfortable is nothing compared to the feeling left in the pit of your stomach when you don’t say anything at all.

How do you tackle the work/life balance? 

Since most of my clients are moms too, I can schedule shopping appointments and closet cleanouts between drop off and pick up from school. The challenge for me is when I’m not out with clients and I’m working from home. Creating a workspace in my apartment and having the kids understand that when mommy is working, I’m not on mom duty, is always challenging and works better on some days than others. My office is certainly not the typical office atmosphere—it’s more like take your kids to work day everyday. But it allows me to have the best of both worlds, which is what I want.

What was the last book you read? 

Big Little Lies

Fun Facts

Favorite Beauty Product: Armani Luminous Skin Foundation

Favorite Form of Exercise: I’m obsessed with Ripped Fitness. It’s changed my body.

What is on your DVR? I’m a reality junkie. “Real Housewives,” “Shahs of Sunset,” and “Vanderpump Rules.” For more substance, “Dateline.”

Favorite App: Instagram

Favorite Kids Store: Lester’s, but I’m biased because I can do a little shopping for myself there, too!

Vacation Packing Tips

Vacations are meant to be relaxing, but packing for vacation can be stressful.  To eliminate some of the stress, I have come up with a few simple steps to avoid over packing and be totally put together on vacation. Check out my three tips below.

1- CHOOSE YOUR COLOR SCHEME

Decide if your going to pack light or dark colored clothing and then you can select all your accessories to coordinate.  Normally when traveling to someplace hot, I like to pack light colors.  I pack beige or light colored shoes and leave the black ones at home. Shoes take up lots of space, so already I have saved space in my suit case.  And since I am only packing shoes to go with either light or dark outfits, I can take a few different styles of shoes, keeping in mind the color scheme.  I find that usually 3-4 pairs of shoes cover all my needs…..a sneaker, flip flop/sandal and wedge/heel.

2-LAY OUT AND TRY ON

I hate being on vacation and not feeling good about how I look because I forgot something for an outfit like a bra that works with a certain top or the necklace that completes an outfit.  Thats why I like to lay out my outfits and even try each outfit on.  This way when I arrive and unpack I have all my outfits organized.  In addition, I know exactly what I am wearing each day, which saves me time when getting dressed and it also avoids overpacking things I won’t wear.

3-PACK CLOTHES YOU CAN WEAR MORE THAN ONCE

If your going away on a 5 day vacation you do not need to pack 5 pairs of anything..except underwear of course 🙂  Decide on a pair of jeans that work with more than one top, a bathing suit cover up that can be worn with more than one of your suits.  The less you pack the less decisions on vacation you will have to make which also makes for a more relaxing vacation.

The Hostess With the Mostess- For the woman who is always entertaining I am absolutely obsessed with these fun trays and no host can ever have too many cocktail napkins, especially sassy ones like these all from Current Home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wino- A glass a day keeps the doctor away, said every mom.  Well maybe thats not the case, but who doesn’t enjoy a nice glass of wine at the end of the day.  And with this unique gift from Vinebox, there is no need to open a bottle, just pick one of the 12 viles and pour a glass.  If your not at home to enjoy a chilled glass of wine, don’t leave home without this 25oz Wine bottle cooler and tumbler from hydroflask.

 

The Gardener- For the woman who only eats homegrown all year round.  Check out this smart indoor garden from click and grow.

 

The Woman On The Go- whether coming from the gym or out all day, every woman needs a little touch up.  No one does it better than Sweat Cosmetics with their twist powder brush with mineral SPF foundation. A must have item for every woman on the go.

The Fashionista- For the woman who is all about style, I love these fun alphabet 14-Karat Gold earrings from CATBIRD, which are deceptively inexpensive at $48.

The Traveler- Suitcases are probably the last item you think of when purchasing a gift, but what woman would not want to travel in style with this fabulous set from Calpak Astyll Marbled hardshell suitcase set

The Pampered Woman- What woman doesn’t love a little self indulgence?   If your buying for the woman who loves to be pampered this sleep mask and set of bath bombs  is the perfect gift for a night of rest and relaxation.

 

 

The Sugar AddictFor the sophisticated sugar addict anything from the candy boutique Sugarfina. Its like candy for grown ups.  

 

 

The Sentimental Woman- For the woman who can’t have enough photos on display, simplify with the Aura Digital Photo Frame.  Not only is it a constant gallery of photos, but with the family share feature, you can easily send photos to the frame in someone else’s home.

The Techy- For the woman who loves technology, but would loose her head if it wasn’t attached to her body, meet Tile Mate, the find anything search bluetooth device that with one click finds anything linked to it. And speaking of forget fullness, never forget anything at the super market or drugstore again with the Hiku Shopping Button “hiku lives in your kitchen, scans barcodes and recognizes your voice – creating a shared shopping list on your phone so you always know what you need. Use the hiku shopping list app at the store – any store – and your list is always with you. Or connect hiku to online stores to make online shopping a breeze.”

FOMO on Thanksgiving Holiday Shopping

Fear of missing out (FOMO) on the Thanksgiving Holiday shopping sales was at a high for me this year.  In the past I remember Black Friday and Cyber Monday mostly being for large stores like Best Buy, Target and a few department stores, but this year everyone from small clothing boutiques to candy stores were participating in on what has now become a 5 day shopping extravaganza.   Sales started on the Eve of Thanksgiving into Black Friday, through the weekend and continuing onto Cyber Monday and then extended into Tuesday.  My Inbox literally was exploding with e-mail after email exclaiming not to miss out on the sale. And by Sunday the emails had me believing it and I was determined to make sure that I bought something just to feel like I wouldn’t be the idiot spending full price after the sale.  So after the kids went to bed Sunday night, I sat online scouring through the websites and to my surprise everything was either sold out or not available in my size.  I didn’t even think that so many people were doing the same thing, duh, but obviously I was totally wrong.  Forbes reported shoppers were clicking “at a rate of $2800 orders per minute, spending $1 million per minute at the peak of Black Friday.” My FOMO was real!!! But did I really want or need anything..NO. I was just buying just to buy and thats the worst type of shopping because there is no gratification.  I decided that next year I will make a shopping list up in advance so when the shopping extravaganza arrives Im ready to click and purchase.

Update Your Wardrobe With These Fall Trends.

You don’t need a new wardrobe for fall, all you need is to add a few of the seasons hot trends and mix them into your current fall wardrobe.  Check out these instant wardrobe updates….

Ruffles, ruffles and more ruffles.   Its obvious I cant get enough of ruffles, but lucky for me they are one of falls hottest trend.  Whether they are on a sweater or blouse just love the way they add a bit of girly fun to any outfit.

            

 

Denim is a great way to update your look. Its easy to wear casual or dressed up, so even though denim pricing have creeped up on us all, its something you wear all the time so worth it.  This season, a raw Hem and/or ripped jean is super chic so adding one or both is a great way to keep in style.

     

Something Velvet- whether its is boots or a top velvet the hot fabric of the season.

   

 

The Small Cross Body Bag.  Adding the “It bag” of the season is a great way to update your fall clothes without even purchasing any clothes.   Both high-end designers to less expensive brands are making fabulous cross body bags so there is something in every price range.   Its the perfect bag to accessorize any outfit new or old.

Hello Laser!!! My New Anti-Aging Weapon!

I wish I had the skin I had in my 20’s.  I remember how simple mornings were,with a quick wash and go.   No skin routine, and no make-up necessary to look fresh and awake.  Those were the days.  Now its one cream to deflate,one to minimize, one to plump, and another to erase.   So when I had my first in office treatment at the Youth Corridor Clinic, with their signature No Peel Peel and the results were immediate and noticeable, I was excited to get back on the treatment table for another treatment with Medical Esthetician, Denise Bissell. This time we decided to try a Laser Treatment and end with another signature No Peel Peels.  I was a little nervous about the Laser, it sounded serious, and I kept envisioning the women I see after treatments with bright red raw looking skin, but Denise promised me there would be little to no recovery time necessary. The specific Laser Denise was going to use was the Nd:Yag, which has the ability to reach deeper layers in the skin than other Lasers do, promoting more Collagen growth to keep the skins youthful glow. For newbies like me, Laser is a non invasive procedure, a light which feels like heat being slowly moved over the entire face, small sections at a time.  I would compare the heat intensity of the Laser light to the heat from a blow drier.   When blowing your hair the drier can be too hot if left in one place for too long, but moving around it never gets too much to handle.    Denise said the results from the Laser would not be as instantaneous, as they were with the No Peel Peel, but would happen days even weeks later and would be even more significant.  I was excited to see the results!!  Both treatments together were under 30 minutes and just as Denise said, my face was not scary looking at all, but a light shade of pink when I left the office.  A few hours later after the pink faded, my skin looked very fresh and smooth from the No Peel Peel, but the real results from the Laser came a few days later.  My skin was and still is noticeably tighter, there are less fine lines and my skin tone is more even colored and I honestly see so many less brown spots!!!  The results are pretty amazing considering it was a painless, a short treatment and I only did it one time.  I can only imagine how significant the results would be if this was done on a regular basis!! The Laser starts at $250, and considering the dramatic results and comparing how much money I spend on creams with slower and less results, it is well worth the investment!

Is there a treatment that you have done where you can see such instant noticeable results? I would love to hear from you!

Eye4StyleNYC: Not Your Typical Personal Shopper

Rachel Zoe said it best, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.”  Because lets be honest, the way we dress represents who we are to everyone.  Women that do dress well, stand out in the right way.  As a stylist, one huge misconception by women is that a fabulous wardrobe means spending lots of money on designer and name brands.   When in reality, a fabulous wardrobe is shopping for those pieces that look like designer made but are far less and then splurging on pieces that are staples and not going out of style in a season.  Shopping with Eye4styleNYC is not your typical personal shopping service. Its not walking into a department store and dropping $2K, Eye4StyleNYC styling concept is to mix high-end fashion with low-end fashion.  Its about knowing what the high-end designers are making and how to spot quality pieces at the less expensive stores.  I totally get that a personal shopper is a luxury, but in the end when you can save hundreds to thousands of dollars it pays for itself.  Come shop with me and see!
