A Little Summer Glam

Here's a great summer outfit for date night to New Holland Brewing, or lunch at Panera.  Notice how I put together two tones of the same color - light peach and a burnt orange.  This is a little trick you can do with any color to look chic and stylish.  Email me if you have any questions, or would like to schedule a consult for me to help you incorporate this, as well as other style tips, into your wardrobe (kate@steenwykbuilders.com)!

Stay Cool and Stylish in the Heat

Baby it's hot outside!  A sundress is a great way to beat the heat, and look effortlessly chic.  These nice light, bright colors won't soak up the sun either.  The fun accessories work wonderfully with either outfit.  Feather earrings are all the rage right now, and while I don't quite dare myself, here's a subtle, stylish way to incorporate them into your warbrobe, if you dare.

Ahoy matey!

I love everything nautical, and here's a fresh, modern way to do something with a nautical feel, yet the blouse is also a little vintagy (is that a word?).  A great way to mix different styles!

Showers

Here are some great mix and match outfits to wear to those bridal and baby showers this summer!

1.  Khaki trouser with dusty pink silk tank, with or without flower cardigan, with wedge or thong sandal

2.  White eyelet skirt with dusty pink silk tank, with or without cardigan, with wedge or thong sandal

3.  White eyelet skirt with cami and cardigan, with wedge or thong sandal

4.  Fushia maxi dress, with or without cardigan, with wedge or thong sandal (you could even belt the dress, with or without sweater, if you were feeling frisky!)

Happy Birthday America!

Here's a few great ways to look fabulous celebrating the 4th today, while keeping cool and comfy!  I hope everyone has a great day celebrating and remembering the freedoms we are so blessed with here in the Great U.S. of A!

Summer Fresh

I love these pale yellow capris, a great neutral alternative to khakis, to freshen things up.  Feels like summer to me!

New Service - Virtual Outfits!

I'm so excited to tell you about a new service I'm now offering!  If you like some of what you see here on the blog, I'm now offering personalized virtual outfits for my clients.  I recently experimented with this service for a client who wanted to do some personal shopping with me, but just couldn't find the time with her family's busy schedule.  She likes to shop online, so this solution was a perfect fit.

Here's how the virtual outfits work - I put together three or four outfits for you based upon the information you provide about yourself, your budget and lifestyle (it's even better if we've had a consult together and I can actually see your current wardrobe, coloring, and body shape).  The outfits can be as specific (work, weekend wear, vacation) or general as you like.  I will email you the link to view your outfits, including attachments to each individual piece and the cost of each.  You can then start purchasing, make some wish lists, look for coupons, wait for sales and free shipping - whatever you like.  Of course, the caveet is that it's a little hard for me to know if each individual piece will actually fit perfectly in real life, and of course you're trusting my judgment on what I pick out. You may not like everything I choose - or shall I say you wouldn't choose it for yourself, as I help you expand your horizons. :)

My hourly rate applies to this service, and it doesn't take me more than 2 hours, usually more like one hour.  FYI - my rate will be going up a little bit in September, in case you're thinking about calling me, but are procrastinating.  So, send me an email if you're interested, or have any other questions (kate@steenwykbuilders.com).  I'd love to put something together for you!
