Most of you probably dash out the door nearly every day. How does a girl have up-to-date style AND get to where she’s going in time?

I’ve found there are a few great quickies you can turn to when making yourself look fabulous day in and day out. Here’s some to start with that you don’t have to invest minutes and minutes on:

Quickstyle Tip 1: Get Your Belt On!
I love this trick because putting a belt on provides instant shape and is oh so feminizing to your figure. Wide belts are hourglass making and turn heads. While thin tight belts look smart and oh so pro. Don’t have a belt to suit? Try cinching a silky textured scarf around that torso! Think of belts as big beautiful bracelets for your waist and you’ll be in a very fashionable frame of mind!

Quickstyle Tip 2: Heel!
Every girl with any amount of glamor in her soul has got to have some heels with height in her closet. They don’t need to be skyscraping stilettos either – kitten heels do just fine and come in easy slip on styles. If you know there’s not a lot of walking in your immediately busy future then don’t sweat it and get your toes into something feminine especially if you are wearing pants! And believe me there are plenty of “comfortable” heels out there to suite any stylish girl’s taste.

Quickstyle Tip 3: Bling Yourself!
You can go from drab to fab in seconds just by pairing up a super casual outfit with some elegant blingy jewels. So if you already threw on the boy beater and jeans make it lux with some chandelier earrings and a stack of metallic bracelets. Or dress up that denim and tee shirt you’re sporting with some metallic pumps. Add a dangling bejeweled pendant to solid colored tops or a belt with some sparkle to basic slacks. Whatever you choose to add oomph to that “basic” outfit should shine with this technique.

Okay so that’s all the tips I’ve got for now cause I too am out the door!

Happy (Quick)Styling!
