15 Style Tips From Michael Kors

I found this on Pinterest this morning. It may be almost two years old, but the advice is still oh~so~wise. (Thank you, Mr. Kors!) I love the way he thinks and agree with EVERY point. It's so classic, and effortless. I really believe if  you follow these 15 pointers, you can look absolutely AMAZING on a daily basis!

Another point I add to myself when putting together an outfit that feels a little too trendy, too young, or too much is to think "If I see myself in this outfit in a picture in five years, is there a possibility I will laugh at something I wore?" I am ALL for trying a trend, but like everything else in life, it is about balance, not throwing everything on at once! Don't you agree?

But, back to the expert, Mr. Kors, himself, and his BRILLIANT Style Tips! The ones I use unfailingly are #8 (hello, fushia skinnies) #10 (love my aviators!) and #14 (because I am really such a SUMMER girl). I really need to work on #15, and I think it is the most important one to remember ~ we can ALL get stuck in a rut. If you need help digging your way out, fear not, we are here for you!

Which of these tips do you already follow?  Which do you need to work on? Are there any you DISAGREE with? Share, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

A Bit of Inspiration for the New Year!

Don't we all get a little introspective as one year comes to an end and another one is fresh and new, just waiting to be lived? A blank calendar lies in front of us. We want to be wise and positive in what we fill it with, and there seem to be endless possibilities. I love the fresh BEGINNING feeling of January. Castaways uses it as a time to lie out the path for a new year ~ organizing and making improvements to the store, planning sales and events for the year, and ALWAYS looking at how we can make the store better for you.

But, from a more personal standpoint, aren't these ideas for 2013 just the most lovely way to look at things? They are amazing, and as I look at the year ahead, I want to remember to implement ALL of these. I wanted to share them so that as you look into the future, you too can make this your best year yet!

Here is to a new and wonderful year for all of us!
