You wish you were partying in the Hamptons or setting sail in the blue waters of Capri...but you can't do that...you've got a big assignment from the boss. It's hot outside and the air conditioning is blasting in your office. No worries, the spirit of summer glamour will follow you wherever you go when you dress in the season's elegant red, white, and blue styles. Incorporate nautical pieces into your office summer style. Always opt for lighter, sheer fabrics. Accessorize your basic office attire with nautical-inspired jewelry from Roberto Faraone Mennella, Brighton Collectibles, or Heidi Daus. Without any doubt, you can count on Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, J. Crew, and Tommy Hilfiger for more great Nautical office outfits!! Go Sailing into Summer!

Sleeping Beauty was my favorite Disney cartoon as a young girl. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053285/quotes Now, Disney is opening the movie Maleficent!! http://movies.disney.com/maleficent Starring the one and only Angelina Jolie, this film tells the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain, and how her heart was turned to stone. I can not wait to see this movie. In the interim...get yourself to HOT TOPIC. It is a blast from the past walking into that store. That's where you went when you were ditching high school...HOT TOPIC :) http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Homepage.jsp Me encanta the fun and fashionable line of Disney Official clothing available. There are exclusive pieces featuring your favorite Sleeping Beauty characters: Briar Rose, Prince Philip, the Three Faeries, and Diablo (Maleficent's pet raven). http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/PopCulture/Movies/Disney.jsp There is also an exclusive "fashion" line based on the Maleficent movie: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/PopCulture/Movies/Maleficent.jsp
The tops can easily be worn under a suit on casual day...or any time of the week in my opinion!
The fun does not stop at Hot Topic. HSN is also doing a tribute to the film. http://www.hsn.com/content/Maleficent/156 Several amazing designers, including Naeem Khan snd Heidi Daus, have designed unique collections based on the Maleficent film! I have my eye on the Diablo pin from Heidi Daus! It would look fierce on the jacket of my business suit.

Maleficent: Oh come now Prince Phillip. Why so melancholy? A wondrous future lies before you - you, the destined hero of a charming fairy tale come true. Behold - King Stefan's castle. And in yonder topmost tower, dreaming of her true love, the Princess Aurora. But see the gracious whim of fate - why, 'tis the self-same peasant maid, who won the heart of our noble prince but yesterday. She is indeed, most wondrous fair. Gold of sunshine in her hair, lips that shame the red red rose. In ageless sleep, she finds repose. The years roll by, but a hundred years to a steadfast heart, are but a day. And now, the gates of a dungeon part, and our prince is free to go his way. Off he rides, on his noble steed, a valiant figure, straight and tall! To wake his love, with love's first kiss. And prove that "true love" conquers all!
Lori's clothes are much like the popular American ceramic dinnerware Fiestaware https://www.fiestafactorydirect.com/ You can mix almost any piece in an color with another, and all the colors and styles work together.

I am kind of addicted to Brighton right now. It has been around since the 1960s, but I have personally never really looked at it until recently! Brighton is the creation of high school sweethearts Jerry Kohl and Terri Kravitz! The brand has evolved over time to be one of the most loved and recognizable in the United States! http://www.brighton.com/
I really love the Brighton jewelry lately to mix up my office look and to get some needed "updating". The price point is not too high...but the quality is really quite impressive. Best of all, Brighton will repair pieces under their 1-year warranty for free...and will also make repairs after that for a small fee.
Brighton carries jewelry, leather bags, and other fun accessories! It even carries the loved and not forgotten "My Flat in London" line of purses, jewelry and accessories! http://www.myflatinlondon.com/
Recently, I opened the Brighton "Charm Her Day" catalog and saw my dear friend Olivia Tracey modeling therein! Olivia Tracey, actress and model, is a former Miss Ireland and a true Irish icon.
