Hi Beauty!
I am Vanessa Valiente, wardrobe stylist extraordinaire. I have been a dresser at The Old Globe, styled many a commercial, and been a costumer for TV shows.
But my real claim to fame is as San Diego’s #1 personal stylist. As a personal stylist, I am a maniac for practical glamour and functional fabulosity. I have dressed over 500 clients, working with every body type and personal style you can imagine.
Each week I find items that are just too yummy to keep between my clients and me. This fashion blog is my way of sharing those amazing goodies with all the over-scheduled women of the world who would love to delegate their personal shopping.
so let’s get to it...

Best Throw-On Midi Dress for Summer
This is truly one of the best everyday, throw-on midi dresses for summer. It’s great for both small and large busts, and you can wear a bra — or skip it. It’s super lightweight and SOOOOO flattering!
Material: 100% LENZING™ ECOVERO™
Sizing: XXS-XXL
Available at Faherty ($198 $169)

Best Lightweight Linen Blazer
This is the best lightweight blazer I have found this season! It runs HUGE, so order 1-2 sizes down for a more flattering fit. I also recommend you use a nylon hair tie to keep the sleeves pushed up, as this is a must for a chic look!
Material: 53% linen, 44% rayon, 3% spandex
Sizing: XXS-XL
Available at Nordstrom ($89.50)
Best Skirted Swimsuit
This is one of the few skirted swimsuits that is actually flattering AND stylish! It is amazing for a busty body. It has the right amount of support and fits the bust beautifully — there’s no armpit fat overflow, cutting in, or pinching.
Material: 82% recycled nylon, 18% elastane
Sizing: 8-24
Available at: Nordstrom ($169.95)
