Day 6: Sweater Dresses
Modcoth, Modcloth, Modcloth. I know you have heard me mention the website at least a dozen times by now, and for good reason. The site carries a bunch of on-trend designs and some of my favorite of the more affordable designers like BB Dakota and Ark and Co. Well, if I were looking for a nice outfit to go to a concert or a birthday dinner and lounge I would pick this number (ahem, ahem), and I would pair it with some black over-the-knee boots. I know.. a little risque', but hey, a girl only turns thirty once. The Snug as a Pug Sweater is a cream knit turtle, neck sweater dress that surely looks as though it would keep you snug. Perhaps, I should ask for my dream body as a birthday gift to go with this dress. With so little time to go, I may just have to settle for some Spanx. You can find the Snug as a Pug Sweater at Modcloth for $64.99.

Proenza Schouler: Special Guest at Jeffrey Fashion Cares
Hello Divas!
Remember life is beautiful regardless of what you are going through so be thankful to God and enjoy it!
Well today is Tuesday and I have exactly a few more days until I land in NYC for Blogher 2010. I am getting a little excited! I will be speaking about "Mastering Intellectual Property Law on the Internet" so be sure to follow @IPLAW101 to get the tweets and updates. Good info!
But for all of you Fashionistas and Divas, the annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares charity event and fashion show is around the corner. Yes, this is the fashion event of the year in Atlanta! Jeffrey Fashion Cares was founded by New York and Atlanta fashion retailer Jeffrey Kalinsky. Jeffrey owns Jeffrey's Atlanta and New York and the all important high end shoe mecca, Bob Ellis. If you live in Atlanta, you know about Bob Ellis in Phipps Plaza. Jeffrey Fashion Cares benefits the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Atlanta Affiliate and the Atlanta AIDS Partnership Fund. Jeffrey Fashion Cares has been around for 18 years and has raised approximately $9 million dollars. Fashion for a cause? An event after my own heart!
This year's special guest designers are the masterminds behind Proenza Schouler, Jack McCoullough and Lazaro Hernandez. If you have never heard of the line, you should. At last year's New York Fashion Week, this show was the hottest ticket in town! Certifiable. The clothes feature their signature "tailored coats in lush menswear patterns, sleek pencil skirts, and color-blocked chiffon evening gowns with satin belts. Check it out!
In addition, this year's Honorary Chair is Sara Blakely, the creator and owner of Spanx. Wow! The event has changed locations this year and will be held at the prestigious 12th & Midtown complex on the 33rd floor. This new development features the Loews Hotel and other fine retail shops and restaurants. This year's event promises to be phenomenal! The event takes place August 30, 2010 at 7pm. For ticket information, please visit here.
Toodles!

Proper Undergarments!
Hello Divas!
I hope you beautiful people are having the best day ever!
My good friend Natasha wanted me to write a post about wearing proper undergarments. Wearing the proper undergarments is all important in making an outfit look okay versus FABULOUS! For instance, if you are wearing a form fitting dress it is not always proper to wear a G- String. Why? Because you can still see the string through the dress! Not cute. The following are some tips in wearing proper undergarments:
1. Body hugging clothing. If wearing either of these, the proper undergarments includes seamless underwear or body shapers. G-Strings with this type of clothing is a NO NO. They will be visible through your clothes.
2. Thin material or see through clothing. If wearing a dress or skirt that is see through, please wear a slip. I know slips are not in, but I always wear a slip if I know my underwear is visible through my dress or skirt. If you do not want to wear a slip, a body shaper is great also.
3. Jeans or slacks. Panty lines are never cute. Eliminate panty lines with boy shorts underwear or spanx. G-strings also work well with jeans or slacks. The string should not be visible through the pants.
4. Bras. Bras should fit properly. They should lift your breast and give you good posture. Before purchasing a bra, be sure to get a proper fitting. In addition, when wearing white or thin shirts, wear flesh tone or black bras. No one wants to see your red lacy bra through your shirt.
5. Holding it in. I am of the firm belief that every woman should own a pair of Spanx. Spanx holds in excess weight while creating a smooth canvas for your clothes to lay properly. I am back to a size 4 and I still wear Spanx. I still have a little baby fat on my stomach, so I do not want that jiggling around as I walk. LOL!
I hope you Divas find this post helpful! Do you have any more undergarments tips?

Q & A Thursdays!
Hello Divas!
I hope you are living life to the fullest!
Considering I get many emails from my beautiful readers seeking advice on fashion and beauty, I have decided to have a Q&A post every other Thursday. I hope you will find these posts helpful and if you have any advice or recommendations to share please do! Also if you have any questions, you can email me at latoicha007@gmail.com or leave a question in the comment section.
Today's question is from So Not a Fashionista.
Dear Luxe Fashionista,
Help! I could really use a fashion 411. I have been pregnant and/or nursing for three years and finally decided to rid my closet of my maternity clothes. Yippee! However, the unfortunate side is that my body is completely different than it was a few years ago, so my pre-baby clothes don't fit my post baby/nursing body. Not only that, but I don't think my clothes were particularly fashionable--safe choices (sweater sets and dark suits) for sure, but nothing exciting. So, can you give me some tips on staples to update my wardrobe?
Yours Truly,
So Not a Fashionista
Dear So Not a Fashionista:
I have been there myself. As a matter of fact, Luxetips was created because I too felt un-pretty and drab after having my son. I was constantly wearing jeans, a big t-shirt, and a ponytail. I felt I needed to get back to living the luxe life!
Here are my suggestions:
1. Spanx. Buy Spanx to hold it all in until you have the time or energy to work out. I wear Spanx all the time because my body will never be the same post children! LOL!
2. Wrap Dresses. They are simple, stylish and classic. I have several. You can dress them up or down with heels, flats, sandles or accessories. Plus they are designed to compliment any figure.
3. Shift Dresses. Shift dresses are great too! Since they don't hug the body, no one can really see those areas you want to avoid. A great trend for fall is to wear a cute shift dress with colored tights and high heels or open toe booties...I saw this look all day in New York and it was too fly!
4. Great pair of Jeans. Sylish jeans are always good. You can wear a tunic over the jeans. The tunic is loose enough to hide problem areas while also being stylish.
5. Shop at at TJMAXX, Marshalls or Target to find this items for less.
