Dear Friend,

Personal Note On A Personal Note...

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it's time to think about the lovins! You don't need a special honey to celebrate this holiday... Let this Valentine's Day be a celebration of all of the things that YOU love. Like the people, the foods, fashion, activities and memories that bring you joy.

Don't wait for a fellah to shower you with kind words and loving gestures, do it for yourself! You know you are fantastic, kind hearted, generous and an all around incredible dame... so pat yourself on the back, give yourself a little love gift... feel sorry for the people who are not in your life to share your righteous fabulousity!

Even if you have a special someone, showing a little love for yourself first on cupid's day will put a spring in your step that will radiate between the two of you! So put on something red, buy yourself a sweet treat and share your love light! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Be happy! Be beautiful! Be thrifty!

Love and Trust, Andy Paige Andy's Monster

During the winter months we all tend to neglect our tootsies. Gone are the days when polished steppers are on parade, so our gnarly nubs go into hibernation under socks and shoes for the winter. Let me just remind you that these little details are what make us ladies, and our feet still need some winter lovin'.

If you sleep in socks during the winter, slather on a thick layer of lotion before you top with socks to keep feet extra smooth. Plan a pedicure every four weeks during the winter and reapply polish when it chips. There's no reason your feet should look like they've been dragged behind a truck come spring.

Your feet are a barometer of your personal maintenance routine, so don't get caught with funky toes or crusty soles! Besides, is there anything more girlishly relaxing than a delicious mani-pedi? Treat yourself!

Gel Insoles Have You Tried...

Blistex Lip Tone?

This time of year my lips can get so chapped and often lipstick atop chapped lips looks horrible and flakey (yuck!). I discovered Blistex Lip Tone a few years back and I love it. It offers just a hint of color and helps heal, moisturize and protect lips from the sun and wind.

This stuff is perfect for creating a fresh face glow. Your lips will never look more healthy and natural! The only problem is Blistex Lip Tone can be a little hard to find. So I was thrilled to find it at drugstore.com for under $2. (Yippee!)


And The Winner Is...

Our February Cents of Style® registration appreciation winner is Blair Lenzi of Athens, Ohio.

Blair, thank you so much for your support of me and Cents of Style®. Your Blue's The Mood Accessory Suite will be shipped to you this week. I know you are going to love it!

 
This Month's Cents Of Style™ Accessory Suite

If you are tired of wearing drab, cookie-cutter black this season, it's time to turn your focus to spring's noir substitute... navy blue! Blue's the Mood of this month's incredible Cents of Style Accessory Suite, with rich tones that will help you fashionably release the gravitational pull of black.

Though we are in the toughest part of winter, spring is just around the corner and this gorgeous collection will bridge you perfectly into next season. Navy blue, greens, browns and yellows are everywhere for spring and this masterful collection (toot toot-that was my own horn... hehe!) will give you a thrifty chic jump start.

The luscious bouclé handbag brings things back down to scale, as "average size" and not oversized handbags eek there way back into vogue. The elegant color combination offers implied value and richness that make it look like a much more expensive handbag. I've included a luxurious navy blue 70% cashmere pashmina scarf/wrap that can be used as scarf with your winter and spring coats or as a beautiful evening wrap this summer with dressed and sexy tops. This scarf/wrap will look fresh and modern when paired with the traditional trench coats of spring, or fabulous yellow rain slickers!

You also get a super-cool navy blue leather CARDINI watch, topaz and arora borealis bead necklace and matching earrings. The arora borealis beads pick up all of the blue hues in the bag and reflect the light exquisitely. The whole suite will have you looking like a million bucks for just $49.50 (woohoo!)... All perfectly pulled together by your personal stylist... Me... Andy Paige! Can you say Happy Valentine's Day to ME?!!!


Sixth Cents - Navy Blue!

With fashionistas everywhere swaddled in black this past season, it makes perfect sense that a fresh, dark, crisp hue would emerge to help ladies redefine their own Cents of Style.


Navy blue offers all of the slimming, light absorbing properties of black, but tends to be much more flattering to most skin tones and in general reads as a much richer color. Navy looks sharp when paired with other colors, with the general exception of black, which makes creative, eye-catching combos a breeze.


Now is the time to keep your eyes pealed for great fitting navy blue pieces that will send a refreshing, stylish message this season and next!
