First Lady Elect and fashion

2008-11-05T22:19:00.000-08:00

The staff at Docia Lynn would like to congratulate President Elect Obama and his family.

Now that there is a new first lady, I wonder if America will be watching and imitating her fashion style like Jackie O. Michelle Obama is a fashionable and trendy mom and we give her thumbs up. We just love Michelle Obama's style. Her style of dress is classy and sophisticated. She wears delicate pieces of jewelry that make her look very elegant. Did you notice her dress on Tuesday night. I just loved how the whole family were matching. She knows how to dress and we are looking forward to watching her style.

Congratulations President Elect Obama

How is motherhood treating you?

2008-10-16T00:00:00.000-07:00

As a full-time working mom, I understand that we as moms get caught up in taking care of everyone else that we most often forget about ourselves. I understand that when you work full-time outside of the home, you have to look your best. I know first hand that it can be very hectic getting yourself ready in the morning and children ready for the babysitter. So, the team at Docia Lynn wants to reach out to career moms everywhere to look their best by offering guilt-free fashion jewelry and accessories.

The Docia Lynn team wants to meet women who may have let themselves go when they began having children but got themselves back. If you are a career mom who has their own business, works full-time or part-time, we'd love to hear how you gained or regained your sense of fashion. Please send us an E-mail to info@docialynn.com.

Fashionable party favor ideas

2008-09-03T00:00:00.000-07:00

Being fashionable is not just about the clothes that in your closet. It also includes the kind and of gifts that you give -- are they fashionable? It also includes the kind of party that you give and the party favors and/or prizes that you give out at the end. The next time you are planning a baby or bridal party or a female gathering and you are looking for unique and affordable party favors or unique prizes for the games, you should consider giving trendy jewelry and fashionable accessories. That is a very unique and fashionable idea. Your guests would love it! Earrings or bracelets are inexpensive and your guests would leave your gathering feeling hip, fashionable and trendy.

Think outside the box the next time you are planning a shower or get-together for women.

Fashionably Yours,

Docia Lynn

What story do you tell

2008-09-02T00:00:00.001-07:00

What story do you tell with the clothes, fashion jewelry
and accessories that you wear? The clothes, shoes, jewelry and accessories that you wear tells other people your story. Are you hip? Modern? Sophisticated? Do you wear trendy pants, beaded earrings, unique fashion jewelry. Do you shop at trendy stores, or at boutiques on line? Well regardless of your style or where you shop, you are telling a story. So, when you are updating your fall 2008 wardrobe, think about the story you want to say this fall. When selecting your fall wardrobe, it should have a fashionable style but most of all you should stay true to yourself and love what you wear. If do not feel comfortable wearing trendy necklaces or casual jewelry, find what you feel comfortable wearing and hold your head up high.

Fashionably Yours,

Docia Lynn

Trendy modern looks

2008-09-01T00:00:00.000-07:00

We will be seeing a lot of V-neck tops, blouses and dresses this fall season. Ann Taylor Loft is a great place to shop for beautiful tops this fall. They offer lovely clothing with a sophisticated touch. Remember you can look fabulous for less simply by adding a bracelet. You do not have to add a lot of jewelry pieces to your outfit. Remember, less is sometimes better. If you are wearing a lovely top like this one, it is OK not to wear a necklace. You can simply wear a bracelet to set this outfit off.

We've got you Covered

2008-08-29T00:00:00.001-07:00

Summer is over and it is time to bring out your fall fashions. Keeping up with fashion can be daunting and expensive, but Docia Lynn boutique will help you to update your wardrobe.

Dress for Success

2008-08-28T00:00:00.000-07:00

Are you a career woman looking to dress for success? Or, will you be entering the workforce this fall? Well, the days of wearing a navy blue or gray suit have changed. According to Oprah, dressing for success is wearing "the new black." Oprah's creative director, Adam Glassman, displayed how the rules have changed and one can wear all black to an interview. We love the outfit (to the left) - who would have thought......the splash of metallic is awesome. The metallic bag and shoes keep the outfit hip, modern and trendy. For a professional setting, we agree that the earrings should stay dainty and simple. After the interview, she could keep this very same look, but if she wants to stay hip and trendy for a night out on the town we would recommend that she adds a chunky animal print bracelet or dazzling animal print fashion watch to the outfit and she will be ready for an evening. Remember "the new black" for your next job interview. Good luck!

This is a great outfit - it's versatile. Although is one dress, you can get two outfits out of it. You can wear this a lovely black business suit to the office or an interview and then put on a different coat and you are ready for a night out on the town. We would recommned that when you are ready to go out out on the town that you add a hip and trendy bracelet and long dangling earrings. Of course, when you going to a job interview, it's important to keep it simple with a hip and modern touch. We love the new black and remember, you can look fabulous for less.
Target.com has a wonderful selection of black dresses that you can wear to work & play. The dresses range from $29.99 - $50.00.

Every woman must have this.................

2008-08-27T00:00:00.000-07:00

Do you own a white shirt? Well, you should. According to Oprah.com, every woman should have a crisp white shirt in their closet as it is one of the most important pieces of clothing Why? Because you cannot go wrong with a white shirt. A white shirt matches everything and it is easy to incorporate color with a white shirt. Pictured on the left is a casual white button down shirt that is worn with a thick black belt and black loose fitting pants. We love how they use a long chain necklace and a bracelet to enhance this basic casual outfit. This is a very nice outfit that you can wear to the office or out on the town. Did you think that a basic white shirt is a must-have??

Docia Lynn

Fall 2008 Trend

2008-08-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

One of the latest trends for fall 2008 are floral prints. Many of us already have floral prints in our closet. Whether it is a skirt, blouse, dress or all three you can still enhance a floral top with a neutral necklace and earring set or neutral bracelets. We love this classic sophisticated top from Ann Taylor Loft. If you decide to wear a lovely floral print top like this one, we recommend an all-black necklace and earring set, earrings, or bracelet. You do not have too wear too many pieces, you can simply wear one or two nice pieces of fashion jewelry. Floral is in, but do not wear floral jewelry pieces with a floral dress or blouse. If you wear a solid color top, then we would recommend that you wear floral or bright colored hip fashion jewelry. But, with a top like this one, keep it neutral and simple.

Fashionably Yours,

Docia Lynn

In Women

Back - to - School shopping is not just for kids anymore. It is also a time for trendy women to pull out their fall wardrobes. Updating your wardrobe for the fall season may seem daunting and expensive, however, it doesn't have to be. You can look fabulous for less. Since fashion is constantly changing, you can still stay in style with a few key pieces of trendy fashion jewelry. It is also OK to mix your fashion jewelry

pieces with your fine jewelry. You just may find that people will not be able to tell the difference between your trendy fashion jewelry and your fine jewelry. One trend this upcoming season includes the color blue -- any shade. All you need are a few key pieces of trendy fashion jewelry to update your wardrobe. Blue zircon jewelry pieces will work nice with a neutral outfit this fall. If you wear neutral outfits, add a splash of blue to bring your outfit up-to date and in style for the fall season. Use blue necklace sets, bracelet sets, pendant sets, and watches jewelry to stay and look fabulous at affordable prices.

Look like a a Celebrity for Less

2008-08-21T00:00:00.000-07:00

Jennifer Lopez is oh so beautiful in this gorgeous red dress. She adds a pair of hip dangle earrings , a fashionable bracelet, and handbag to add the finishing touches to her outfit. If Jennifer wanted to look very hip, she would have worn several bracelets at once, but she chooses to keep it simple. Simple is definentaly OK. She maintains the simple look throughout. Instead of wearing a necklace, she opted to wear a fashionable belt. Remember you should maintain a balance with your fashion jewelry and accessories. It would have been too much if Jennifer wore a necklace with her outfit.

How to wear bracelets

2008-08-20T00:00:00.000-07:00

Rhianna is very fashionable! She looks great in her outfit. She lets us know just how fashionable she is with her layered bracelets. Wearing more than one bracelet at a time is very trendy and is one of the hottest trends this summer. Depending on your preference, you can wear thicker or cuff bracelets or thin bangles. It's up to you to decide, there's no right or wrong answer.

Stay fashionable this summer by wearing the latest fashion trend of 2008. If you are not used to wearing several bracelets or bangles at once, start simple. Perhaps wear three bangles or bracelets. Try it out and see if you like it. If so, you can slowly add a few more pieces to your collection. If are going to layer your bracelets, make sure that you wear a short sleeve shirt or rock a shirt that has 3/4 length sleeves.

Fashionably Yours,

We found aadded unique and beautiful stretch rings for women to our inventory. This ring is highly fashionable and will work great for pregnant women who are unable to wear their own wedding ring(s).

Fashion Tips for Hip Busy Moms

2008-08-01T00:00:00.000-07:00

Tina Knowles, Kelly Ripa, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherry Shephard, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez are some of the hottest celebrity moms out there. I agree. Each of these hot mommas have their own personal sense of style. Well, of course, they get a little extra help as they have their own team(s) of fashion stylists and a gigantic budget to spend on their great style. Although you may not have access to a network of stylists and/or the gigantic budget, you can still look like a celebrity. I've compiled a list of style and fashion books that you may find helpful. These books help you to look like a hip and fashionable woman on a budget. I particularly like the Budget Fashionista. The author offers tips and recommendations on grea t finds on a budget.

Every morning is always very busy, but this moring was very busy. I always get the kids ready first.

Mine staple pieces of jewelry consists of a silvertone cuff bracelet -- I love this bracelet because it matches everything and a pair of silvertone earrings.

Cubic Zirconia's are Fabulous

2008-07-30T00:00:00.000-07:00

Tina Knowles(Beyonce's mom), Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez & Tori Spelling are celebrity moms with style. One thing these moms have in common are they are moms who wear bling bling.

Cubic Zirconia's are man-made stones designed to replicate flawless diamonds. Best of all, cubic zirconia's come in different colors. This lovely blue cubic zirconia is total bling bling. This is a very elegant bracelet and looks great with a business suit for the office or with an evening outfit. It is important to remember how you can upgrade your look for less.

The Best Way to Wear your Jewelry

2008-02-14T06:18:00.000-08:00

Here's a helpful tip on how to wear your jewelry. One shouldn't wear too many bold pieces of jewelry at one time. If you wear a simple and dainty necklace, it's okay to wear a cuff bracelet and simple stud earrings. .......Don't wear too many bold pieces at once. It's okay to only wear a bold bracelet with an outift. You don' t always have to wear earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. Sometimes you can wear one, two or all three. Just make sure that you have a balance between bold and simple jewelry.

Visit Docia Lynn for a variety of jewelry pieces.

Chandelier Earrings at the Grammy's

2008-02-13T18:02:00.000-08:00

We love chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings are bold, beautiful, sexy and elegant. Jennifer Lopez (JLo), Oprah, Beyonce and many other sexy celebrities have been seen wearing chandelier earrings on various red carpets. Chandelier Earrings were popular this year at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

Valentines Day is two days away. If you'd like to have a celebrity look this Valentines Day, I suggest that you wear a sexy Isaac Mizrahi strapless dress (very cute), black slingback pumps and carry a sexy clutch purse. Of course, you must add a pair of chandelier earrings to upgrade your outfit. Here are a beautiful pair of chandelier earrings for under $25.00 that will look beautiful with your Valentine's Day outfit.

Beads, Beads, Beads

2008-02-12T20:27:00.000-08:00

Beaded Jewelry is very popular this season. I think that everyone should have at least one beaded necklace in their jewelry box because beads are versatile and go with just about everything. We expecially love beads because you can wear them everywhere and you can wear beads to the office, mall, PTA meetings, to the playground, to a dinner party or even out with friends. Beads vary in shape, color and price, but, beads are fun and pretty.

Now, Docia Lynn is all about using affordable fashion jewelry (accessories) to upgrade your outfit. But, if you are interested in an expensive handmade jewelry, we found a handmade beaded bracelet by O (Oprah) at macy's.com. We're introducing this bracelet, 1) because it's an O bracelet -- and we jus tlove Oprah. 2) The bracelet was hand-made by women in Rwanda and the sales will be used to support them.

Do you know the length of your neck?

2008-02-11T06:01:00.000-08:00

We have a few jewelry tips that you may find helpful when looking for jewelry. Here are a few tips that you may find helpful when looking for the "right" piece of jewelry. If you have a short neck and you want it to look longer, you should wear a long necklace. A longer necklace will give an illusion of length. Of course, if you go with a long necklace with a bold pendant, you should not wear long dangling earrings, the earring should be simple but beautiful.

Or, you can try a narrow choker or a narrow choker with a pendant. Hopefully, you'll find these tips helpful when searching for a necklace.

The Diffence Between $10,000

2007-12-11T14:06:00.001-08:00

If we could all afford a $10,500 diamond necklace from Moissante I think we all would have one to grace our neck. But since all of us can't afford a diamond necklace that costs nearly the same as a used car we have to do our best, right? We have to get the same look without busting our bank accounts to high heaven. We have to essentially "fake it until we make it." And there's nothing wrong with that.

This diamond pendant (above) from Moissante is a one-of-a-kind platinum pendant set with an approximate 5ct. round, brilliant-cut moissanite jewel surrounded and accented with micro-set diamonds. It's gorgeous. It just so happens that we also carry a necklace that creates a great knock-off look. Our 3-Graduated Cubic Zirconia Stones Necklace gives you the same look, but for a real fraction of the price.

But, if you just MUST have the Moissante pendant, they're giving away this one to a winner of the "Milestone Moments" contest. Advertised in 0 Magazine over 8,000 entries have been submitted. Want to learn how you can win this necklace? Log onto http://www.blogger.com/www.Omagazine.info/moissanite.

A Working Mom's Dilemma

2007-12-04T16:10:00.000-08:00

If you work outside the home, and you have children to take to day care, your own fashion is usally the last thing on your mind. As long as my children looked and felt good, I was happy. It didn't matter what I looked liked. I have since reconnected to fashion and I've used fashion jewelry to upgrade all of my outfits. Since the holidays are right around the corner there is a lot think about. One thing on my list is our company's after-work holiday party. Let's face it, if you are a working mom, you don't have the time or the budget to put together an extra outfit. So, I've found one outfit to wear the whole day and I'm planning to use jewelry to accessorize and upgrade it. I'm thinking about wearing a simple black pants suit to the office and party. I love the photo up top because it is a simple yet elegant outfit. I love the single bracelet that she is wearing. So, I think I'm going to emulate her style and put on a single bracelet and and a necklace & earring set -- with these selections, I will be conservative in the office and fashionable at the party.

What are you wearing to your holiday party? How are you going to accessorize?? Docia Lynn wants to hear your story.

The Perfect Hostess Dress

2007-12-03T15:50:00.000-08:00

Are you hosting any parties this holiday? If so, I found the perfect black dress at In Style. Gwen Stefani looks fabulous wearing this simple, but elegant black dress and so can you. This dress will be the perfect evening dress to wear while you are hosting your holiday party. But, I would make a few changes to this already sexy outfit. First, I would add an elegant bracelet and second, I would add a pair of dangling earrings from Docia Lynn to enhance this outfit.

What do you think of Gwen's dress? Don't you think it will make a fabulous hostess dress? What Docia Lynn pieces will you add to enhance this outfit?

Today's Style Tip at Instyle

2007-11-30T12:44:00.000-08:00

Each day InStyle.com features one of their Looks of the Day. Today they featured Ali Larter and we have to admit, yes, she looks great! What was so striking about her outfit is the minimal amount of jewelry she is wearing. We count two earrings, one bracelet and we think we can make out a ring. Nice job, Ali.

Sometimes when we go out on the town we don't have to be draped heavily with jewelry. A few pieces will suffice just as well.

At DociaLynn.com we carry bangles that will work for any outfit like our Antique Silver Metal Bracelet. The great thing is it's less than $20. You can't get any better than that!

Penny Pinching During the Holidays

2007-11-26T11:53:00.000-08:00

Although we saw streams of people and hordes of crowds shopping on Black Friday there are still throngs of other Americans who are keeping a tight watch on their spending this holiday season. With gas prices steadily going up and with the housing crisis not nearly out of our sights, families are spending less than usual this year. In fact, a recent survey says one-third of all Americans will indeed spend considerably less than they did last year.

Since today is Cyber Monday and since I know many people are watching their wallets, I wanted to give you a heads up on a holiday giveaway we're doing. If you sign up to our newsletter, you will be automatically entered to win a gift certificate from Docia Lynn. Now, nothing can be less expensive than a FREE gift certificate.

Memorable Gifts for the Holidays

2007-11-19T10:32:00.000-08:00

If you are a small business owner like I am, or an aspiring business owner, you understand that the companies you do business with like to be shown a little appreciation at the end of the year, and that doesn't always mean getting a company mug -- boring!

According to an article I read on CNN.com, small businesses are now going the extra mile to give more personalized and meaningful gifts to their clients instead of the ubiquitous coffee mug or the age-old gift basket. Small businesses are going as far as handing out personalized stationary or even flowering bonsais.

In my opinion, I think in the long run, clients do like to be appreciated and a personal gift shows just that -- thought, value, sincerity. But what's in it for the small business? Isn't there some merit to giving away a holiday gift with the company logo stamped on it even if it will end up in the trash six months from now? After all, this is still business. Or, do you think a great (i.e. expensive) gift goes further in solidifying business ties?

By the way, (ahem) we have a ton of great gift ideas for the holidays that are quite affordable and lovely ideas for women who love jewelry.

She enlisted the help of own private drill sergeant -- Los Angeles trainer Harley Pasternak, the man behind "The 5 Factor Diet" and "5-Factor Fitness" to get her in great physical shape. Jessica's workout plan is not difficult and it doesn't take long. Harley Pasternak advises working out five days per week for 25 minutes. The routine that he put together for Jessica combines cardio with weight training and core exercises in five phases.

We all love fashion jewelry! And, we all know that fashion jewelry and accessories are a great way to upgrade our wardrobe. Unfortunately, many of us stuff or cram our fashion finds in showboxes or toolboxes. As you collect fashion jewelry, you may find that you need more space to store your valuable finds.

Organizing your jewelry will prevent your jewelry from getting damaged, tangled or lost.
