Interview conducted by Jacob Pierce
Last week I shared my personal shopping experience at Macys in Annapolis Mall. Let me start by saying, everyone should explore this service! It’s easy to book and makes your shopping experience a little more pleasant. After chit chatting with Teresa and discussing upcoming fall trends (I’m still thinking about those pumps) I entered into the dressing room with several delightful items. She selected a range of garments to suit my lifestyle from jeans, handbags, sunglasses, skirts, and suits.
The one item that captured my heart was a gorgeous wrap dress designed from The MICHAEL, Michael Kors Collection. I didn’t select the dress because of the brand; but the style was more important. This High and Low, Faux Wrap Dress complimented my figure and curves. One thing I’ve shared on this site is that I’m petite and curvy (like the other Kim West) so I’m very meticulous about my style needs.
The fabric texture also felt great on my skin and silhouette’s classy (and sexy.) Ultimately, I was very pleased with the garment. I also have the perfect pair of pumps to wear with this dress for definition, height, and movement.
In addition to selecting the dress, I also picked up a pair of rose gold earrings and skin care products from the Lancome counter. Overall, it was a great day to be a girl and play around in fashion!

The Modern Girl is back with more tips, hacks & beauty fun! From author and trend expert Jane Buckingham, (formerly of the Style channel), founder of Trendera and newly crowned Job Genius of the new ABC Family Show “Job or No Job,”
THE MODERN GIRLS GUIDE TO LIFE (on sale 9/29/15) has been completely revamped for a new generation of MG’s. A lot has changed over the past decade, and leave it to Jane to keep us Modern Girls up-to-date!
Covering everything from parties to porn, interviewing to Instagramming, crockpot cooking to cosmetics, and all that’s in-between, The Modern Girls Guide to Life doesn’t try to tell you how to be perfect. It simply tells you the stuff you need to know, but no one thinks to tell you—like how your shape wear can get uncomfortably hot unless it contains cotton (good to know before you find yourself sweating away your blowout at the company holiday party).
I have been a long time fan of Jane Buckingham and will provide a review to share with all of my Modern Girls very soon!
