Valentine’s Day

February 4, 2019 by Cynthia

St. Valentine’s Day dates back centuries and contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. There are many stories about who is Saint Valentine. * One story depicts a Roman priest who performed secret weddings against the wishes of the authorities in the third century. Imprisoned in the home of a noble, he healed his captor’s blind daughter, causing the whole household to convert to Christianity and sealing his fate. Before being tortured and decapitated on February 14, he sent the girl a note signed, “Your Valentine”.

No matter the history, it continues to be the day lovers express romantic gestures through cards, chocolates and gifts. This Valentine’s Day treat yourself (or your Valentine) to the gift of lingerie. The gift of lingerie is so personal and special and there are so many beautiful options, no matter your taste, preferences or confidence 😉 There is nothing quite like wearing feminine undergarments. Leave something to the imagination and find a style or a piece that suits your figure and makes you feel fabulous!

Here are a few options by Intimissimi, an Italian clothing label which specializes in bras, briefs, lingerie, vests and pyjamas for women and men. (Intimissimi for Men)

Intimissimi L’Amour You Tulle and Lace Babydoll

Sexy Mesh Balconette Bra

Sexy Mesh Cheeky Panties

Sexy Mesh Lace and Microfiber Cheeky Panties

Viscose Satin Kimono

Full Bloom Viscose Satin Kimono

Nordstrom offers complete sizing for everything they carry. Here are a few plus-size lingerie options at Nordstrom.

Valentine’s Day/Evening is a few weeks away. Plan ahead and treat yourself or the one you love to something personal and special!

Fall Fashion

September 6, 2016 by Cynthia

Fall Fashion, the clothing season I love most, is nearly here!! The Fall Runways showed all sorts of fabulous trends – many very classic and wearable. Those resonating with me most are Cross Body Stoles, Gray Plaid, Navy Overcoats, Off-the-Shoulder, Pin Stripe Suiting, Shearling Bombers, Statement Fur and Velvet!!

Shown here are runway images. Below each example is a wearable and affordable example of the trend. Click on the link for more information or to purchase.

CROSS BODY STOLES

I love a fur accessory and wearing a luxurious stole across your body is a fun and versatile way of using it. Definitely makes a statement and shows you’ve got confidence.

Zara Small Fur Stole

GRAY PLAID

I will never tire of gray plaid and I am happy to see this classic is hot this Fall! So many ways to wear – casual, for work, and even dressy and a super wardrobe staple and builder.

Theory Double Faced Wool

NAVY OVERCOAT

Perhaps you already have a navy overcoat – please wear it!! This is another classic worth having in your wardrobe and since it is on trend for Fall, wear it with everything.

JCrew Lady Day Coat with Gold Buttons

OFF-THE-SHOULDER

This is such a feminine and flattering look. If you didn’t get a top for Spring and Summer, it’s time to get either a long-sleeved top for Fall or a great dress.

Milly ‘Selena’ Off the Shoulder Midi Dress (Nordstrom)

PIN STRIPE SUITING

A sharp and classic fabric – just a pair of slacks or a blazer would be a superb addition to your wardrobe and have you on trend but will work for years.

Zara Pinstripe Trouser

SHEARLING BOMBER

Fun, fun!! A chunky and cozy outerwear piece that makes a big statement. Go faux and save a few bucks.

Zara Suede Effect and Fleecy Jacket

STATEMENT FUR

Here is an opportunity to show off your personality and individuality. (Faux is fine.)

Zara Multicoloured Faux Fur Jacket

SHADES OF TAN

Elegant, classic, cozy…cannot go wrong adding something tan. Goes with everything for any occasion!

JCrew Collection double-faced cashmere top

VELVET

Luxurious and chic – a velvet blazer or even a velvet sneaker would work hard this Fall.

Anthropologie Eve Velvet Blazer

Have fun with Fall Fashion and make selections that suit your personal style, update and build your wardrobe and boost your confidence!!

Stacked Heel Sandals

April 3, 2016 by Cynthia

Stacked Heel Sandals (aka Block Heels) are a Spring Trend I recommend because of their versatility and comfort – and they’re cute! Stacked heels work with skirts, shorts, pants, dresses and, of course, denim (another hot Spring trend). They come in many heights providing great options and they are comfortable because the heel offers more surface area for stability.

I’ve selected a few options I think would make great updates to a wardrobe. They represent different price points but I feel all versatile depending on your personal style. Click on the link above the photo to learn more about the selection or to purchase – all are available at Nordstrom.

Steve Madden ‘Carrson’ Sandal

Steve Madden ‘Irenee’ Ankle Strap Sandal

Lucky Brand ‘Toni’ Stacked Heel Sandal

Ted Baker London ‘Lorno’ Sandal

Balenciaga Wood Heel Sandal

Burberry ‘Cashel’ Ankle Strap Sandal

Badgley Mischka ‘Clove’ Evening Sandal

Dolce Vita ‘Lyndon’ Lace-Up Sandal

Steve Madden ‘Slinng’ Sandal

Steve Madden ‘Sofila’ Sandal

Vince Camuto ‘Ceara’ Sandal

AGL Attilio Giusti Leombruni ‘Coty’ Block Heel Sandal

Stuart Weitzman ‘Nearly Nude’ Ankle Strap Sandal

Ivanka Trump ‘Klover’ Block Heel Ankle Strap Sandal

Hope you will consider adding a stacked heel sandal to update your Spring (and summer) wardrobe!

Striped tee with white jeans 3 ways

August 22, 2015 by Cynthia

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Shopping my closet, playing around with pieces in my wardrobe and putting different outfits together is happy time for me. For Women over 40 the loss of a defined waist starts to become a reality. So using techniques that do not draw attention to the middle, like leaving tops out and choosing jeans that have a high waist, are helpful in camouflaging that area.

Two very basic pieces – a Gap striped relaxed black and white t-shirt and Gap 1969 destructed resolution true-skinny high-rise jeans are combined to create three classic yet different black and white looks.

First is the casual outfit. I turned up the jeans a bit to create a cuff and mixed the pieces with a black denim jacket, super comfortable Roxy Ventura Crochet slip-on sneakers, my silver Nantucket basket necklace, diamond studs and Chanel sunglasses.

Pulled hair back in an unfussy, low, casual pony tail that I don’t pull through all the way.

A black bird paid a visit and landed on the white fence – perfectly black and white!

The second is a comfortable day out shopping outfit. Worn with BP booties from Nordstrom, carrying a red tote from Zara with an Hermes red enamel H bracelet. Bringing in the pops of red makes the outfit more fun.

Lastly, the dressiest outfit of the three. Wearing platform heeled sandals by Vince Camuto…

…with a fringed black clutch and a statement ring by Tous and…

Front and Back Chain Stud Drop earrings by TopShop.

One rainy day or any day, spend a little time picking out a few pieces and mix them with different shoes and accessories and see if you can create one outfit, 3 ways!

Welcome to Cynthia Hudson Style

July 24, 2015 by Cynthia

Hello and Welcome to Cynthia Hudson Style!

I am a 40-something (ok, pushing 50), married, mom of 4 kids and a toy poodle and I’m a personal stylist/shopper. I have always loved and had fun with fashion, beauty products and shopping! Most importantly, I enjoy helping women build their confidence through what they wear and help them build a wardrobe that works!

Cynthia Hudson Style will focus on fashion and beauty for the 40+ women. Through a mix of original photography, things discovered on-line, in-store or out and about, I will bring you outfit ideas, shopping links, latest trends in fashion, beauty, accessories, shoes, jewelry, styling ideas, new products, shops and things that inspire me (and, hopefully you)!

I welcome your comments and feedback! (see Speak Your Mind at bottom) Additionally, “Ask Cynthia” is a feature where I answer your fashion and beauty questions. Please consider subscribing so you receive my blog into your in-box as I publish posts. (see Sign Up to Keep In Touch at right)

The dress I am wearing in the photos that follow is Madewell’s Flutter-back Overlay Maxi Dress. I fell in love with the ease, color and comfort of this dress. And, adore the open, but not too open back. It is also versatile. By changing up the accessories, makeup and shoes it could work for day or evening. It is available at Madewell stores and at Nordstrom. (click on store names for link to store.)

I accessorized for a casual day event by wearing a beaded bracelet and beaded hoop earrings, as well as, my grandmother’s ring. Sunglasses are by Chanel. My lip and nail color are my go-to summer reds: Nail color is Essie in Clambake and Lip Colour is by Laura Mercier in Portofino Red.
