Ten Ways to Feel Instantly Fabulous

1. Feathers.

Obviously most women can't pull of a boa in broad daylight, but I make them work when possible. Like on the ends of ink pens and these fabulous peacock earrings that I got from Urban Outfitters.


2. Animal Print.

Not fur, but animal print. It makes things instantly sexier. I'm an interior designer, and I love throwing in animal print where you'd least expect it (leopard print staircases), It's also fabulous to wear it where it's a secret. I have about ten pair of animal print underwear.


3. Perfume.

I make most of my own perfume, by mixing perfume oils. There is no more fabulous way to store it than in vintage crystal perfume bottles.


4. Pearls.

All fabulous women wear pearls, end of story.


5. Vintage Crystal Headbands.

Ok, the real answer here is a tiara... but that usually only works if you have an excuse (like your birthday, your bachelorette party, and maybe New Years). So, instead I love vintage crystal headbands.


6. Glitter and Sparkle.

Again, a FINE LINE between Halloween and making this work. I save it mostly for evening... sequined clutches, FINE body glitter (you aren't 13), and sparkly earrings.


7. Champagne.

I know a nice glass of wine is good and relaxing, but we're talking about being FABULOUS here. Champagne is necessary. Get yourself some cute glasses to drink it from and some gourmet chocolates, and voila!


8. Petit fours.

Cupcakes are cute, but petit fours are fabulous. Don't believe me... make the switch. Something about cute mini cakes in adorable little boxes... instant fab. Olivia and I's favorite treat!


9. Bubble Baths.

But not JUST bubble baths. You must have fabulous bath products. My favorites are Carol's Daughter and Dirty Girl products.


10.Stilettos.

Surprise! I know... but there's just something about them. They make even the most mundane tasks totally glam... like doing the dishes. And I have NEVER had a boyfriend complain about me dusting in boy shorts and stilletos.
