February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Style Cues: How to Wear Fall’s Coolest Trends


After a scorching summer in shorts and tank tops, many of us welcome cooler temps. Even if you’d prefer to spend every day soaking up the warm sun, it’s hard not to get excited about fall fashion. After all, the ability to create endless looks by layering makes autumn arguably the most bountiful season for style. Whether fall finds you cracking open the books or returning to business as usual, you’ll want to spruce up your wardrobe. Here are 4 runway-approved style cues for how to wear fall’s coolest trends, and tips for wearing them for both work and play.

Victorian

If you’re looking for a new twist on vintage classics, perhaps it’s time to revisit styles further back in history. Like, a couple of centuries ago. Designers like Altuzarra, Alexander McQueen, and Givenchy all featured collections with 19th century Victorian details: high collars, lace, and ruffles. These ultra-feminine accents look relevant today in non-traditional fabrics, bold colors, and sassy silhouettes. For the office, wear a pretty ruffled or high-neck blouse with slacks and pumps. After hours, black lace looks proper, but is anything but prim!

Modern Victorian

 

Shirts blouse / Oasis lace top / Chicnova Fashion blue jeans / Gianvito Rossi black booties / Michael Antonio red pumps / Burberry handbag / DailyLook clear handbag / 1928 jewelry / River Island Grey wool-blend slim suit trousers

Plaid

In their Fall/Winter 2015 collections, designers like Michael Kors, Vivienne Westwood, and Chanel were mad for plaid. Tartan-clad models strutted down the runways in pants, trousers, skirts, jackets, and tops. Red was the base color of choice, but plaid in an unexpected hue is an easy way to modernize this classic pattern. Try a plaid pencil skirt with a blouse and blazer for a sophisticated look. Punk it up a la 90s grunge by mixing it with leather or combat boots. Either way, a plaid attitude works for fall.

Plaid Attitude

 

LE3NO red top / Joseph collared shirt / Black blazer / Sea New York plaid pencil skirt / Black skater skirt / Charlotte Russe platform booties / Jimmy Choo navy blue pumps / DKNY backpacks bag / Kendra Scott 14k earrings / Ciner glass earrings / NARS Cosmetics lips makeup

Flares

After several years of skinny jeans dominating our closets, the pendulum has swung in the other direction: flared legs are back in. Designers Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger, and Celine showed lots of flare in their collections. A flared silhouette has a 1970s vibe, which makes flowy tops and chunky wooden platforms very cute partners. If you don’t want to go too retro, a structured tee or crop top is of-the-moment. For day, wear flared trousers with a tucked-in blouse and blazer. Happy hour and beyond calls for denim flares with strappy heels and a sassy top. This season is the perfect time for you to rock the bells.

Rock the Bell Bottoms

 

Leopard print blouse / Topshop black singlet / Blue biker jacket / Pants/ Monsoon flared jeans / High heel pumps / Dsquared2 open toe sandals/ Kate Spade leather crossbody purse / Warehouse brown leather handbag/ Dorothy Perkins gold drop earrings / Lacoste gold jewelry

Velvet

It’s been called the fabric of royalty, and this fall, we’ll all want to be royals in plush velvet garments. Designers Emilio Pucci and Alexander Wang showed off velvet coats and wide-legged trousers.  A structured velvet blazer will let you rule at the office, while a velvet skirt with a fun top is great for a girls’ night or a date. Velvet looks timeless yet fresh in any hue. If you’re not sure about trying this trend, take a cue from the classic song: black velvet, if you please.

Velvet If You Please

 

Oscar de la Renta yellow knit top / Darling white pleated blouse / Gucci purple velvet blazer / H&M tapered suit pants / Glamorous flared skirt / Topshop leather pointy toe flat / Red pointed toe shoes / Charlotte olympia handbag/ Bling Jewelry

Which trends are you going to try this season?
