7 Days Of Style In A Carry-On Bag

Who says a Diva can’t travel light? You don't have to take a ton of luggage to look great on your next vacation. Everything you need can fit in ONE carry-on bag! This segment shows you how to make a week's worth of outfits with just 8 pieces of clothing, 2 pairs of shoes, and 6 accessories.


Here is the segment. It begins airing on Mirror/Mirror on the LivewellHD network on May 19, 2009 in 10 cities (NY, LA, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Fresno, Raleigh/Durham, Flint, and Toledo). Check the website for local listings (http://www.livewellhd.com/).

You can have just the right outfit for a 7-day vacation and fit EVERYTHING in a carry on bag. The key to traveling light is choosing versatile pieces that can mix and match and do "double duty." There are two ways to do it: either choose neutral clothing and colorful accessories, or colorful clothing and neutral accessories.


The Clothing
In this segment, I chose colorful tops, neutral bottoms, and neutral accessories so everything goes together no matter how you combine them. Every top works with every bottom on our list.

Tiered Skirt/Dress - This tiered skirt can also be worn as a strapless dress. It's perfect on its own as a beach coverup, paired with the wrap cardigan as a comfy air travel outfit, or dressed up with the halter top for an evening out ($88, Michael Stars).

Wrap Cardigan - This coverup can be worn loose as a sweater, tied "cross-over" style in the front as a top, or tied at the back to make an open-back party top ($69, David Cline).

Ruffle Shirt Jacket - This pink shirt can be worn buttoned up as a pretty blouse or unbottoned as a jacket ($44, Ya).

Halter Top - The green top can be dressed up with a skirt for dinner or worn casually with shorts to the beach or with pants for shopping ($66, Michael Stars).

Tank - The turquoise tank can be worn on it's own with shorts or a skirt, or layered under the shirt/jacket ($41, Michael Stars).

Pants - Khakis (or dressy jeans) can be dressed up or down and work with every top on our list ($159 Billy Blues).

Walking Shorts - These animal print walking shorts can be worn casually or dressed up with a jacket or blouse ($119, Randy Kemper).

Print Dress With Embellished Neckline - This dress doesn't need any jewelry because the embellishment at the neckline is jewelry. Wear it on its own to a dressy dinner or party. Turn the dress into a skirt by wearing it with a coordinating blouse and its perfect for lunch or shopping ($349, Laundry).


Accessories
All the accessories are neutral (gold, pewter, silver, white, brown), so they go with any and every piece of clothing on our list.

Shoes - These sandals are comfortable so they can be worn all day. They are very versitale because they are made from dressy material in casual styles, so they can be dressed up or down. Gold strappy sandals ($85, Michael Stars) and metallic stone sandals ($132, Steve Madden).

Hat - This hat has a wide brim for sun protection, is crushable so it can be packed and then popped back into shape, and stylish so it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. San Diego Packable Hat ($45, http://www.sandiegohat.com/)

Bracelet – The bracelet adds a little texture and interest to outfits created from solid colors ($24, ethnic bracelet)

Modern Pearl Drop Earrings and Squiggle Gold Earrings - These earrings are the perfect balance between casual and dressy - the pearls/gold dress them up and the styling keeps them fun. These earrings will dress up a casual outfit without making the look too formal. ($163, Alexis Bitar; $139, Bobby Boase)

Gold Squiggle Link Necklace - This necklace also balances between casual and dressy. The gold material makes it dressy, while the asymetrical styling keeps it fresh ($286, Bobby Boase).

Convertible White Bag - The bag can be big or small. Unbutton the clasps and the bag becomes a full size totabag, perfect for shopping of the beach. Button-up the clasps and the bag becomes a handbag that's small enough for dinner or a party ($399, Kooba).

Dos & Don'ts of Gladiator Sandals

This segment will appear on Mirror Mirror on the LivewellHD network in May 2009. Here is a link to the segment http://livewellhd.com/mirrormirror/story?id=6772753 It airs in 10 cities (NY, LA, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Fresno, Raleigh/Durham, Flint, and Toledo). Check the website for local listings (http://www.livewellhd.com/).

The gladiator sandal reappeared in 2006. They are an update version of the shoe worn by ancient Roman soldiers. The shoe is characterized by lots of horizontal straps and laces that can go all the way to the knees. The modern gladiator sandal comes in ankle length and knee high styles, ranging from perfectly flat soles to high-heel platform interpretations.

The Dos Of Gladiator Sandals

1. Let them show – wear low gladiator sandals with longer dresses, jeans, shorts, and capri pants, wear tall gladiator sandals with above the knee skirts and shorts.



2. Choose metallics for a slim look (dark brown and black sandals with lots of straps can make legs and ankles look bigger.



3. Choose styles with a heel and thinner straps for a slimmer look.





4. Wear them with drapey, bohemian, feminine style clothing.



5. A pedicure is a must, these sandals will attract lots of attention to your pretty feet.

The Don’ts

1. Don’t wear them if you have wide/big feet, thick ankles and calves, or short legs. The horizontal straps will make you look even bigger.



2. Don’t wear styles with lots of thick horizontal straps, they will make your legs look bigger than they are.




3. Don’t wear them with socks or pantyhose.




4. Don’t wear them to formal affairs, this is a casual shoe.



5. Don’t splurge on them, This trend is in it’s third year and won’t last much longer.

Video Chatting – Easy & Economical Way To Stay Connected

This story appeared on Great Day Houston on March 25, 2009 and on San Antonio Living on January 14, 2009. Click here to watch the segment http://www.woai.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=646412@video.woai.com&navCatId=13


Video phones (aka video chatting) are finally here! Now you can have face-to-face conversations in real-time from anywhere in the world (with internet access). Video-chatting uses your computer screen and feels like you’re talking to someone across a desk or table. Familiar uses include chats between business associates, grandparents and grandkids, parents and college kids, and family and a parent who’s away on business.

There are even more ways to use video chatting, such as
-Have family dinners together even when the whole family is spread across the country. Just set the computer on one end of the table and everyone can eat together.
-Share romantic dinners when your spouse is out of town. Just set out the candles, wine, and dinner on either side of the computer and stay connected.
-Birthday parties - put the computer in the middle of the action and everyone can enjoy the party together.

The more you do it, the more ideas you’ll come up with for your family and business.
All it takes is a program (free) and some inexpensive equipment - speakers, microphone, webcam and lighting.

The Programs

Many video-chat programs are free. Choose the program you want, download it to your computer, choose your id name, and follow some simple instructions to set it up. Some common programs you might have heard of…Skype (http://www.skype.com/, seen it used on Oprah?), ooVoo (http://www.oovoo.com/, has cool visual effects), and iChat (a fav of MAC users). Some programs even let you conference with up to 6 people at the same time.

The Sound

Most new computers come with built-in speakers and microphone. These don’t work for video-chatting because the conversation from the speakers feeds-back into the microphone so the other caller hears themselves instead of you. You need a microphone that can’t "hear" your speakers.


Basic –A headset is an inexpensive way to solve this problem. The draw backs to a headset - you’re tied to the computer by wires, it can be uncomfortable for long calls, it messes up your hair, and only one person can participate in the call at a time. The headset used in the tv story is an analogue stereo headset from Plantronics ($25).

Better - The better option is a speaker phone. I’ve really liked the IPEVO TR10 Speakerphone ($79) because it has echo cancellation for natural conversation; is hands-free so you have freedom to move around, works as speaker phone or handset so you can also have private conversations, and you don’t have to wear it so your hair stays perfect.

The Camera


Basic - Some computers come with a built-in webcam. They are convenient and provide basic functionality. The problem - you never get real eye contact with these cameras because of the position of the camera. All the camera sees is the tops of your eyelids. And the camera is limited to showing your face, so you can’t really show the other caller anything else in the room.








Better - The better option is a separate web camera mounted to the side of your computer screen. Mount the camera at eye-level, right next to your screen so you can quickly look back and forth between the camera and screen. This simulates natural eye movements that occur in normal natural conversation. My favorite webcam is the IPEVO Pointer Cam (http://www.ipevo.com/, $40). This camera is unique – you can pick it up so you can show the viewer things other than your face - close-ups of objects and text, your entire outfit or hair style, a room you just reorganized etc. This camera allows you to share your life instead of just your face. This might seem insignificant, and after you chat a few times, you’ll really appreciate this feature.


Lighting



Basic – Chat programs are designed to use regular room lighting. The problem with most room lighting is that if comes from the ceiling. Down lighting literally creates a "horror show." When the light comes from above, it creates shadows under our eyes, nose, and chin like a Freddy Kruger movie. Not the best look for date night or business calls.







Better - The best lighting for video calls is soft filtered light coming straight into your face. Position yourself in front of a window with indirect light. Or use two clamp-on work lights from a home improvement store with frosted low wattage day-light bulbs. Aim the light straight into your face (the low wattage/filtered light keeps you from getting blinded).

What Is Twitter?

This segment appeared on Great Day Houston on March 25, 2009. A link to watch the segment is at the bottom of this post.

Twitter is the next generation of interactive media.

How is it different from other networks?
 Twitter is a business network for sharing information and getting things done. There is also a social side. Conversations are quick and limited to 140 characters (equivalent to a text message)
 Facebook is primarily a social network where some people try to do business.

This is what twitter looks like – ( http://twitter.com/sarahshah)
Following – these are people you interested in
Followers – these are people who are interested in you (many of them are people you follow)
Bio – say something interesting about yourself
Twitter stream – this is what the people you follow are saying right now

Why to join twitter
First and foremost, Twitter is for connecting and contributing
 Connect with interesting and like-minded people you wouldn’t meet in real-life. What are you interested in? For me it’s people in tv, fashion designers, boutique owners, shoppers (http://twitter.com/KoriEllis/status/1380395072 ).
 Connect with businesses– businesses & celebrities are on twitter to monitor their buzz, connect with their customers/fans, and share news. On Twitter we can connect with high-level people we ordinarily don’t have access to. We can be heard, make suggestions, bring issues to their attention, provide feedback, and ask for assistance. Twitter is used for constructive conversations and solutions, not for complaining. ( http://twitter.com/comcastcares/status/1378916358 ) @comcastcares sorted out problems with my service in hours when local customer service couldn’t figure it out for 6 weeks. @southwestair announced that they are testing wifi on 4 flights – soon you’ll be able to use your email and internet on their flights.
 Build an audience for causes and topics that are important to you – I’m part of a fundraiser for the YMCA on Friday. Some of Houston’s finest coaches (business, image, relationship) are donating our services for a day at the 2009 Coath-A-thon. Here’s my tweet (http://twitter.com/sarahshah/status/1380470005) and here’s the link included in the tweet (http://2009coachathon.wordpress.com/ )
 Be first to know – news and events hit twitter first. The first report and pictures of US Airways flight 1549 that landed in the Hudson river were on Twitter. Passengers on the plane and people on the ferry that rescued the passengers tweeted the events in real time.
 Connect with your politicians – congressional reps tweeted from President Obama’s address and got instant feedback from their constituents. That’s power to the people!
 Ask for help – twitter can be even more effective than google.

10 tips for getting started
1. use your real name and make an interesting profile (so people want to follow you)
2. don’t protect updates (otherwise no one can ready what you have to say)
3. follow first and follow back
4. contribute to conversations and add value anywhere possible (answer questions, provide info, educate, inform, support)
5. be yourself and be nice
6. ask for help when you need it
7. retweet interesting info (pass interesting info on)
8. do not tweet anything you don’t want the whole world to see, because they will (http://twitter.com/rveturis/status/1380510086 )
9. your reach is only as big as your followers, the more followers you have the bigger your audience
10. use tinyurl.com to shorten links to fit into a tweet

Here are some interesting people in Houston to follow:
@SarahShah
@Mattigrey
@greatdayhouston
@Freshart (info about art & cultural events)
@southwestair
@tweethouston (retweets any message that includes the word Houston)

What's the upside of a down economy? There are LOTS of great deals, even in department stores!

Here are some tips for getting great deals in department stores:

• Shop the sale racks: 20 – 75+% off
• Know the store's price guarantees (some stores will refund the price difference if an item you purchased goes on sale within a few days)
• Look for coupons online, on blogs, and in the newspaper
• Use your debt cards with miles/points (the Chase debt card gives you Continental miles for each dollar you charge)
• Sign up for weekly store emails for insider coupons and specials
• Use store credit cards for extra savings (pay them off immediately to avoid undoing the savings with interest charges)
• Don't be afraid to buy something that doesn't fit perfectly, most garments can be altered.

Beware - Any item that you don't wear is a waste of money, no matter how good the deal it is.

Tailor Tricks

A tailor can help make the most of a great deal.
My Favorite tailor is Nick Lopez Tailoring on Sage, across from the Galleria
A tailor can make a garment that’s too big fit you perfectly.

Producer Sarah Greir got a free pair of pants for free. They were way too big, so she had them tailored and now they fit her like a glove.

Sarah Shah got her jeans for $17 at Walmart and had them tailored for $30. It’s okay if the tailoring costs more than the garment. Look at the total cost (price you spent on the garment and the cost of tailoring)to see if it's worth the money to get the garment.

Easy fixes by a tailor – size of waistband, length of sleeves/pants/skirts
More expendive alterations – jacket shoulders, bias cut fabrics, intricate beadwork/embroidery/stitching

Dress Yourself Skinny (TM)

Thank you Shelly and everyone at San Antonio Living for having me on the show!

This TV segment will appear on San Anonio Living (WOAI, Channel 4) on February 27, 2009. To watch it, click on the link at the bottom of this post.

No matter how attractive a woman is, more often than not, she doesn’t like what she sees in the mirror. We spend lots of energy trying fad diets, starting exercise programs, or just beating ourselves up about the way our bodies look. There is another way! You can make yourself look thinner just by changing your clothing.

Many women just choose the wrong clothing. Either we wear clothes that are too loose to cover up imperfections. Or we insist on wearing a certain size and look like we’re bursting out of our too tight clothes. We think we’re hiding our flaws but we are really making ourselves look 10 to 30 pounds heavier than we really are.

Today I brought along 3 women who would like to change their bodies. We’re going to make them look thinner just by changing their clothing. We aren’t even going to use Spanks!

Model 1 – Hips & Thighs

Michelle just had a baby. She used to be a size 2 and is now a size 8. She’d like to reduce her hips and thighs. Here’s what we did to create the illusion of smaller hips and thighs:
- Shrank her hips with wider leg pants and by expanding her shoulders (puffy sleeves)
- Showed off her small waist by emphasizing her ribcage (tailored vest)
- Divert attention away from her hips by bringing the focus to her upper body and feet (bright color and detail)
- Made her thinner over all by making her look taller - upper body lengthened with V-neckline and vertical lines, legs lengthened with really long pants and platform heels

Melissa's outfit is from Macy's: INC knit shirt ($24), XOXO Vest ($44), Kenneth Cole Jeans ($99), Rocket Dog Platforms ($59)

Model 2 – Tummy

Beverly is the business manager for sculptor Pablo Solomon. She is a size 8 and would like to minimize her tummy. Here’s what we did to create the illusion of a smaller tummy:
- Camouflaged the tummy (with flat pleats, or rouching)
- Showed off her small waist by emphasizing her ribcage
- Divert attention away from tummy by bringing the focus to her upper body (jewelry) & legs
- Made her thinner over all by making her look taller (Upper body lengthened by V-neckline and pendant necklace. Legs lengthened with high heels)

Beverly's outfit is from Macy's: Adrianna Pappel dress ($160) and Kenneth Cole shoes ($99)

Model 3 – Thick Torso (no waist)
Sarah (me) is a size 12-14 and would like to create a waist to make torso look thinner.
Here’s what we did to create the illusion of a smaller waist
- Broaden shoulders (reveal skin at shoulders)
- Boaden hips (A-line skirt)
- Emphasize ribcage (this is the smallest part of a woman’s body)
- Camouflaged the tummy (with flat gathers)
- Divert attention away from torso by bringing the focus to her upper body (jewelry) and legs
- Made her thinner over all by making her look taller (upper body lengthened by V-neckline and legs lengthened with shoes with heels)

Sarah's dress is by Alberto Makali (Dillard's, $178)

The tricks to Dressing Yourself Skinny (TM):
- Avoid horizontal lines (makes us look wider) & create lots of V’s (makes us look taller)
- Divert attention to your assets so you don’t look at your flaws
- Make yourself taller with long pants and heels (even ½" heel makes a difference)
- Balance your proportions so your hips and shoulders appear to be the same width and waist looks smaller
