Hello Darlings,

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words! Well, in less than a few thousand words here are some of my favorite moments from this summer as posted on my @MartaTryshak Instagram. It has been an amazing summer with lots of new experiences and fun memories.

- Many hours preparing for photo shoots and then shooting.

- Being selected by Marketing Magazine as one of their Top 30 Under 30.

- My latest greatest find, Surface to Air burgundy blade brogues.

- Growing my shoe collection, one pair at a time.

Hello Darlings,

Flare pants made a strong comeback in Spring 2012 and the flare trend continues to go strong strong for Fall. With Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Prabal Gurung showcasing the signature trend of the seventies, these babies should be top of mind on your fall to-buy list. Flared pants may be an intimidating trend to fall in love with, but I promise they are worth a try!

Aside from being a much easier trend to wear then skinny jeans, wide-leg and flare pants are also far more flattering for most body types. The secret to wearing flares are heels! Nothing elongates your legs and gives shape to your derrière quite like sky high heels and flares! Therefore when shopping for a pair of flares keep in mind that it is probably best to buy them longer so that your shoes are entirely covered.

Hello Darlings,

Finding that perfect fitting dress is a challenge, as every woman knows! A well fitting dress that is versatile enough to wear on a variety of occasions is an essential part of every woman's dream wardrobe. You just never know when a hot date will ask you out for a romantic dinner, or when a fabulous girl's night out on the town will come together last-minute, or you are suddenly invited to a swanky soiree. For all these "what ifs" and more, there should be that one dress that is always on stand-by!

Who's better to ask for her advice to find that perfect fitting dress if not a woman behind one of the best fitting dresses I've ever worn? Let me introduce Laurel Berman, designer of the hugely popular Los Angeles based brand Black Halo, and also the designer of their iconic Jackie O dress. So I asked Laurel for her insights on what to look for when shopping for that one perfect dress:
