Italian Dressing

There have long been two positions on style - French vs. Italian.  The French certainly own all things "chic", but the Italians have glamour down to a science.  (And it's not limited to Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida, although they are incredibly glam, just check out It-Girls, Olivia Palermo or Bianca Brandolini for a more modern take.)  I love and appreciate that je ne sais quoi; however, I'm often drawn to the polish and sophistication of Italian style.  Check out these tips to infuse a little Italian sizzle into your style:

- Embrace Your Figure - Learn what looks great on you, not just what looks great editorially.  Get personal with your tailor.  A few minor tweaks make all the difference.  

- Stand Out with Accessories.  This doesn't mean they have to be large or flashy, but instead add personal touches for a little extra oomph. 

- Sneakers belong in the gym.  Flip-Flops belong at the beach.  

- Add an air of mystery.  A golden rule for a reason.

- Details make the difference.  Something as subtle as a well-manicured hand (doesn't even need to be polished, but filed, buffed, etc.) or a bold red lip show that you put in the time and effort to look your best.  

- Fragrance.  Find your signature scent and don't leave home without it.

Who knows Italian style more than these two?  Here are Dolce & Gabbana's Life, Italian Style Tips.
