• Invite a friend with an objective eye for style.  Considering you’ve stared at your closet hundreds of times, chances are you are seeing the same thing you’ve always seen.  Having someone there that you trust can help you look at you clothes in a whole new light.  Grab some wine and some magazines and get creative!
• Play with layers.  Try adding a blazer or jacket to your favorite blouse or perhaps throw a belt over a cardigan at the smallest part of your waist.  Simple tricks like this can completely change a look.  Also, grab your favorite necklaces, lay them on your bed, and play around with stacking, twisting
• Mix prints and patterns.  Trying unusual color combinations or different textures adds dimension to your look and adds a young fresh energy.

What is also great is that he streamlines the season's hottest trends and offers ways of incorporating them into your wardobe in a way that works for you.  Take animal prints, for example:  you can either go all in with a stand-out dress or add on pieces in a more modest way by bringing in shoes or a handbag with a great cheetah print.  He dissects silhouettes for different body types and shows women how they can make themselves look as amazing as the women we see in the hautest of haute couture.  And luckily for my readers, you can win your very own copy of his book!  All you need to do is comment on this post and tell me the trend you are most coveting this season.  Be sure to include your email so I can let you know if you've won!  A winner will be chosen on Friday the 20th of November.  Get ready to get your style on!

Her Favorite Finds collection is also one to definitely check out.  It features beautiful statement necklaces that are both elegant and edgy.  Both the rhinestone trimmed leaf necklace and the flower bib with pearl details are pieces I can see myself wearing to holiday parties and nights on the town.  What’s great is that they go just as easily with a cocktail dress as they do over a plain white tee and boyfriend jeans.

If you love to shop for a cause (and here at TastyLittleDish we are huge advocates of supporting charities) then you’ll surely appreciate her Gifts that Give Back collections.  25% of the proceeds from her Angel tees help support Project Angel Food, an organization which delivers nutritious meals to people suffering from HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases.  Then there are also the Bow tops which offer 20% towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Michelle says, “I love the idea of wearing something beautiful and doing something beautiful at the same time”.  I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Another interesting point of interest is the gallery the collection was held at.  The David W. Streets gallery in Beverly Hills has a wonderful collection of modern, contemporary, and fine art along with sculptures and gorgeous antique furniture.  When speaking to David he informed me of the many types of events held here from viewings to tastings to private dinner parties.  It is a gorgeous space with an impeccable collection in an estate-like setting.  I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him and his elegant events to come.

What kind of girl do you envision wearing your shoes?
The girl who loves to enjoy life.  Our whole tagline is "Shoes to Live In".  Someone who can wear these shoes to the grocery store, to the Grammy's, wherever you may go, travel the world.

Where did you come up with the idea to be able to customize the shoes?  I think that's absolutely genius!
You know how you always want to wear something that no one else has, but maybe you want it similar?  You also still want to feel really special all the time so we wanted to make everyone feel really special.  Kind of like the Carrie Bradshaw shoes in Sex and the City, we wanted to create that special shoe.

And how long have you had the line?
We just came out in August, and have been working on it for nine months.

So then is this something that you've always wanted to do or just spontaneously came into it?
Our dad is in the shoe business and so we kind of grew up with that and its something you always want to do and you dream of but you never think oh I can really do that, I'm too young to do it.  Then one day we were just like, "We're just gonna go for it and trust God, and here we are."

I've noticed that feathers and lace are very in right now and a lot of styles incorporate those trends, is that something you try to stay on top of?
That's what's been the best part about what we do because we kind of adapt to what anybody wants and thats how I've been dong it for myself.  I think I'll have this shoe and I'll have dreams of it then draw it up.  

Do you have a set amount of trims you can put on the shoe or is it open to what ever you want to get?
Well we make like set styles, like all of these are made on a set style .  If someone wants to order and do something special there's no limit.

You can check out a snippet of their show below and also sneak a peak at some other fabulous styles in the gallery.  Be sure to visit their site and start thinking of how you're going to make a splash at all your holiday parties this year!
