According to research the hourglass shape is the “ideal” silhouette because it highlights the waist. But did you know that only 8% women have this symmetrical perfection? Good news for the rest of us? You can create a waist with a… you guessed it.

If you’re anything like me, a busy mom juggling a full-time career and family life but still want to “look” like you have it together – then you might want to consider creating a capsule collection. You can get ready in less than 10 minutes and look amazing. And the best part is, you don’t have to spend every night planning your outfit for the next morning (I’m sure we’ve all been there, right?). Your wardrobe will already be curated to reflect your own personal style, mood, fit the activities you have going on for the day and most importantly –your outfit will empower you for the day (yes, clothes have the power to do this!).

Whether you’re going out with your husband, or on a “first time” date, or getting together with your girl friends- you want to look and feel your best.  The “what do I wear?” question will pass through your head more often than not.

We found great date-night outfit inspiration from these stunning women. From a romantic shimmer dress, to a classic black jumpsuit, to flirty ruffled versions to off-the-shoulders tops, there’s one look that will work no matter what your personal style is.

The Wrap/Obi Belt. The perfect way to accessorize any outfit. Here are a few examples of how to accessorize the ADA Wrap Belt.

Nothing else draws attention to the smallest part of your body like our signature classic obi belt!

It’s that time of the year again when gift wrapping might be a priority on your evening To-Do list. Maybe even more important than laundry duty.  More fun for sure!

Thanksgiving is a time to let our hearts be full of both ( Thanks and Giving) surrounded by our family and friends. But wether you’re traveling or hosting the Holiday at home, you’ll want to add the perfect accessories to your thanksgiving outfit.

Planning outfits for those first fall days can be tricky. We’re already thinking of apple pies, pumpkin desserts, nice conversations with friends with a snug blanket and a bottle of red wine, right?

I get it.  There’s no time to pre-plan outfits for the new weather. But there’s an easy solution that will save you time and allow you to be the most stylish girl in the room!  All you have to do is accessorize!

Every February and September following the runway shows in New York and in Europe my design team and I sit down to review major trends that will be taking place for the year ahead.  Not because we’re a trendy belt line but because we need to know what “canvas” or clothing we’ll be designing belts to pair with. Will women be wearing more boxy silhouettes, tailored apparel, pantsuits, etc.
