It may just be a movie about one woman’s spiritual journey of self-discovery, but the latest film release of Elizabeth Gilbert’s "Eat, Pray, Love" book starring Julia Roberts has inspired many of us to celebrate our lives in a more reflective way ... even in the clothes we wear. We may not be able to travel to India or Italy or Bali, but we can make the trek to Nordstrom and buy one of designer Sue Wong’s exotic new caftans. Or we can tune into the Home Shopping Network to pick up an exotic beaded prayer necklace.

Love it or hate it. Swimsuit season is here. You can cover it all up or figure out a way to accentuate the positive and have a great time. Let’s face it, we all have figure flaws, so let’s figure out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to baring it all ... well, almost! "The first decision is whether to wear a one-piece or two-piece suit," says Jill Martin, fashion expert and author of "Fashion for Dummies." "What you choose depends on what you’re comfortable in and what body part you want to show off or hide," she says. "Get a one-piece suit if your belly is an area that you don’t feel comfortable revealing."

We stop and stare. Who is that wearing that hat? We think it must be somebody special. Indeed, hats have been crowning us with glory for thousands of years, ever since the first Phoenician women entered competitions for their glorious headpieces

Dresses. They’re one-hit wonders. But for many of us who dress each day out of a closet brimming with separates, dresses can be intimidating. This season, however, fashion designers have addressed the dress in a whole new way by giving us instant comfort in stylish shifts, flowing maxis and elegant wraps.

When did the rules change? My mother asked me this as she carefully pulled out her handbag that matched her shoes that matched her watchband that matched her leather gloves. She smirked as she saw me grab my turquoise handbag and slip into my red boots. "Haven’t you heard? There are no fashion rules anymore," I said to her.

Ready to put a little spring in your step? Bette Midler is famous for saying, "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world!" It’s so true. A recent purchase of some fabulous Beverly Feldman flats (on sale, of course) changed my attitude completely!

Romance isn’t limited to just chocolates and champagne. How about a little lace to go with it? This is the perfect time of year to flirt a little bit with your wardrobe. Send a message of love to your inner style diva. A ruffle here, a strappy sandal there, and the woman in workout sweats is instantly transformed into a ravishing romantic.

You’ve spent weeks cleaning out your closet and getting ready for a new year free of fashion clutter. So, now what? What do you do with all those bags of clothes? Do you donate them to the local Goodwill? Give them to friends and family? Or take them to a consignment shop? Or sell them on eBay?

Most of us make resolutions and then break them. But instead of promising that you’re going to lose 20 pounds or walk 10 miles every day, give yourself a style makeover. It’s much easier, and you’ll still feel good about looking even better ... then maybe you’ll go for the gym workout.
