Talkin’ Texas Style with Jen Munoz
Introducing… Jen Munoz, MSL's new Regional Style contributor from Texas! She’ll be dishing regularly on the latest trends, must-haves and fashionable topics, all from a Lone Star State perspective. As a mom to twin boys (and two dogs) Jen has come to the realization that she’ll never reach “master builder” status and that’s okay. She’s also given up on most people’s standard of “safety.” However, Jen does have exceptional communication skills (especially negotiating and persuading), she stays calm in the face of pretty much anything, and is always prepared for life’s next ...Read more.
The Handbag We Want Now
The satchel. It's classic, polished, feminine and the perfect contrast to the menswear look that is so haute this season. Plus, in "go-with-everything-in your-closet" black, it will be your go-to bag for years to come. We found five fabulous black satchels, from an investment piece to more affordable versions, any one of which would be a great addition to your fall line-up. A good handbag, particularly a timeless style like this, you will have for a long time, if not forever, so buy the best your budget can swing. A great handbag has the power to up-level even the most basic outfit. ...Read more.
Angela’s Lab | Essential Fall Trends
Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Neiman Marcus "Let's Talk Fall" preview media breakfast and saw firsthand what fashion guru Ken Downing has tagged as the looks of the season. After chatting with fellow members of the fashion press, we were treated to a fashion show of lustworthy looks. On Ken's trend list for the season: Gray, Greens, Global Chic, Knit Dressing, Trousers, the Clutch, the Year-Round Bootie, and Statement Necklaces. These are all super-wearable trends that I can get behind and most are classic in nature with an updated twist. And I'm excited to see trousers on the list! Dresses and skirts have ...Read more.
Angela’s Lab | Falling for Floral
I've never been a person that wears prints. I tend to stick with solids -- jewel tones like teal, cobalt and fuchsia, bright reds and corals, and the always easy neutrals to throw on and they look sophisticated -- black, navy, camel, white and grey. Solids are generally more flattering, plus easier to wear and style for sure. However, a few years ago I challenged myself with incorporating more prints into my closet. Let's face it, prints make fashion more interesting. One of my favorite print looks for fall is the "dark florals." Dark florals are chic, stylish and not an "in-your-face" print. I love how the dress ...Read more.

Celeb Style Crush |Angelina Jolie
Mom of six and one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses, Angelina Jolie is super talented and gorgeous in an otherworldly way. Her style is generally classic and minimal. She favors neutral colors like black, white and nude, although she has been known to rock a sexy red or jewel-toned dress when walking the red carpet. Angelina is not only known for her award-winning acting and more recently directing, but also her strong support and hands-on involvement in humanitarian causes, including serving in the past as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations. This mom is as compassionate and smart as she is ...Read more.
