1) Start a collection with a solid dark suit. That way you can extend your wardrobe by using the suit jacket as a sports coat paired with jeans or khakis. You can use the trousers for a more casual look, when paired with layered knits or a casual shirt and a sports coat.

2) Ties: Make sure your man knows how to tie a 1/2 Windsor knot. It’s a knot that will stay perfectly centered. A heavier gauge tie will always sit a little away from the shirt and that gives the tie a very expensive look.

3) Most men don’t like to go discount shopping. So do your prep work and pre-pull the items you like. Put them on hold and bring your man into the store the next day to try them on. That way he won’t feel so overwhelmed.

It's back to the 7O’s in hip, new designer fashion - handbag edition. This fall’s must have bag is the saddle bag and cross body handbag. You would see these bags at department stores priced between $85 and $145, while at Loehmann’s they are 34.99 to 64.99.

Top it all off with a floppy hat to round out your 70′s inspired fashion fun. Floppy hats are now at Loehmann’s for 29.99 to 39.99.

If you could go anywhere this Spring, you know it would be Paris. Walking arm in arm with someone special in the City of Lights is just about the most romantic place to be. The ancient streets, the decadent shops full of everything from croissants to chocolate mousse, the outdoor cafes and tiny flower shops that crowd the cobbled streets, the wine, the music, the sparkling Eiffel Tower all beckon us to Paris.

A trip to Paris has the mesmerizing way of making all that is chic seem utterly important.  The Grand Old City makes us instantly yearn for a knotted scarf or a felt beret. This is a place where décor and decoration all come together put the finishing touches on everything from a cheese shop to an outfit. Those delicious black booties will go oh-so-nicely with that velvet trimmed blazer. The silk top is just the right touch with those amazing skinny jeans. Those bangles and drop earrings are to-die-for with that gown.  The occasional sprinkle makes a trench coat a necessity. Even an umbrella, a must if you are there in the Spring, trust Miami Olivia, takes on a whole new element of chic.

It is all so much more when you’re in Paris in the Springtime.
