On a recent trip to Guatemala we learned that there are 21 Mayan Tribes and they all speak different languages. Each tribe has different color combinations and / or styles of clothing that distinguishes them. If you live in Guatemala you probably can tell what Myan tribe someone is from by what they are wearing. The Mayan women are known for their colorful, patterend, hand woven textiles. Below are photos taken in the cities of Chichicastenango and Antigua. See the wonderful combinations of colors, prints, florals and stripes.

 So spring is in a matter of weeks but somewhere in this big world there is still snow and a true snow bunny wants to get her last hurrah in before it all melts away.

So here’s a few hot looks to keep you warm while you get your last ride in.

Fabulous footwear has now replaced the "it bag". Designers have elevated shoe designs to an "art to wear" level pushing the envelope with creative, colorful and innovative footwear designs.

Peek a boo clothing is the rage. Women are pushing the fashion envelope and becoming more risk taking when it comes to clothing. Spring /summer designer runways were baring it all with totally sheer and /or stategicly placed fabric in see thru tops, see thru dresses, see thru skirts and see thru blouses.

Since the royal wedding lace is enjoying a comeback. It's not just for weddings, christenings and lingerie anymore, lace has crept into everyday as well as dressy clothing. Accessory designers have jumped on the lace band wagon too. Handbags trimmed in lace, stilettos, collars and even lace print on eyeglass frames can add a trendy touch to your wardrobe.

Weather is transitioning from Indian summer into fall the last week in September. The streets are full of a variety of different clothing styles. On the warmer days, shorts are still around, a few maxi dresses and sleeveless or tank tops. Pants and jeans in every length and width are favorites plus tights and leggings are strong. Some skirts and a few dresses are evident. You can see from our pictures the big bag is still a favorite. A few high heels but the New York woman seems to be favoring flats, flip flops, sandals and more comfortable shoes.

Ornamented legs is one must have trend. It’s a chic way to add embellishment and drama to an outfit. Although sheer tights are on the rise, in the trend scene dark opaque tights in an array of colors are still alive and kicking. Colored tights add energy to an outfit while embellishment adds drama and effect. This season legs are decorated with semiprecious essentials including but not limited to Swarvoski jewels.
