Globetrotting in Style
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
As an image consultant and wardrobe stylist, I do a fair amount of globetrotting. When I travel, every aspect of my look must make a stylish statement, including my luggage.
Accessories can make or break a look instantaneously, and when traveling, your luggage is your biggest and most noticeable accessory. I believe luggage should have a look that inspires envy on carousels from Paris to New York; possess lots of pockets and zipper sections to make it perfectly suited for today’s grab and go approach to travel; AND be able to withstand practically any baggage handling system worldwide.
It’s been said that who, or in this case, what you roll with, is a direct reflection of you. With that said, when it comes to a travel companion or two, basic simply won’t do for this certified image consultant. *Indigo shrug*
Here’s a glimpse at the two travel essentials I never leave home without.
Genuine Italian Leather Zippered Travel Bag – Chiarugi
I effing love this bag! Not only does this beauty work perfectly with everyhing in my wardrobe, it easily accommodates my laptop, medium-sized pocketbook, two outfits, and a pair of shoes, with no problem. A little pricey but for those of you who know a little bit about me, you know where I coped it.
Fits my laptop and a whole lot more!
My second road partner is my TUMI Vapor International Carry On. Made of tough, lightweight triple polycarbonate shell, it offers ample space to pack for a five day getaway. My favorite features are the 360-degree swivel wheels, making this piece very petite friendly, and its tracking systems for retrieval should the piece ever get lost. That’s right. Luggage GPS twitches! Tumi puts a metal plate with a unique 20-digit registration number in each of its bags. Customers can register for the Tumi Tracer program to have their contact information entered into a central database so they can be reunited with their bag if it is found. Brilliant!!
Beauty and Brawn
Take 10% OFF Orders of $100 or more! Use code GENAFF to redeem. Also, get free shipping on orders of $99 or more.
Luggage GPS Baby. Oww!

16 + 39 = 1 Fabulously Modern and Affordable Plus Size Wardrobe
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
I just came across this auction. If this isn’t a reason to love eBay I don’t know what is. Auction 150420828940 is this stunning 39-piece plus size wardrobe and it has your name on it if you are: (1) size 16; (2) rectangle or inverted triangle shaped; and (3) a warm spring undertone beauty. Packed with pieces to get you through the week, you’ll find Monday morning career options, Friday night out-on-the-town picks and even adorable outfits for the weekend. I like the fact that many pieces are new with tags. Those pieces that are slightly used appear to be in excellent condition. But, most impressive is the seller’s lookbook. As a seller myself, I understand and appreciate the laboriousness behind this listing.
If this wardrobe speaks to you, DO contact the seller and inquire about bust, waist, hip and inseam measurements; Seller claims to not accept returns. More importantly, DON’T delay. This bid ends March 12, 2010 at 10:40 PM PST.
Here are some of my favorites from the Seller’s Lookbook.
A pretty white top with lace detail by Crazy Horse, size L. Paired with dark brown crop cargo pants by Crazy Horse, size 16.
Black fluted edge skirt from Briggs New York, size XL and a rich side zipper top from Old Navy, size XL. Purse also included in auction.
Sleeveless blue top by Harve Benard with notched collar, size XL. Jeans by Liz & Co Size 16
Tribal trend beaded smock dress by Style & Co, size XL.
The fringe hem skirt is from Massini, size 16 & the top is new with tags by Merona, size XL. Ensemble is adorned with silver & black disc necklace and paired with embossed black clutch bag by Metro 7.
Light brown pants from Old Navy, size 16. Matched with solid brown halter top with built-in shelf bra from Arizona, size XL. Topped with a white cotton/lycra shirt from Karen Scott, size XL.
Essential black flat front dress pants from Apostrophe' size 16 paired with a rich, trending color teal shirt from Karen Scott, size XL. Layered with a black tank from White Stag, size XL. Also shown with gray puffy heart necklace. Bag included!

eBay Webinar Training Survey
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
It all began with a $100 pair of front row tickets to see Erykah Badu and Floetry. Before long, I owned a deep discounted Volvo C70 convertible. Next came countless designer clothing and shoes, many still with tags, including “hell yeah” Prada and Claudia Ciuti boots and Current Elliot boyfriend jeans. With increased confidence came larger purchases: HDTVs, Raymond Weil watches even a Macbook Pro that cost under $650. And just today, my newest love came in the mail; a gorgeous baby blue leather jacket that cost all of $39 bucks! Yep, I’m the eBay queen and I have lots of tricks up my sleeve.
Let me show you how to save $1,000 of dollars. Own items from around the world without breaking the bank. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell Biggie Smalls memorabilia on this 13th anniversary of his death, or you’re trying to get your hands on one of those trending blue Oscars dresses, or maybe you’re looking to recreate a Michelle Obama Fashion look eBay has it.
Next month P²Styles offers you the opportunity to attend one of two invite only eBay webinars. All you need is complete this SURVEY and you’ll receive an invite at your choice of webinars. Help us develop an eBay webinar that will help you develop your eBaying skills.
