The first days of the month are always critical for me not because workforce refreshes from last last month and I’m back to the drawing board of hey, what happened to last week’s labor? Anyhoo, I’ve always loved InStyle and it is one of my favorite magazines and yes, watching out for a magazine’s monthly release at the first days of the month IS critical for me.

This month’s INSTYLE covert model is Revolutionary Road actress Kate Winslet in a Herve Leger by Max Azria dress, Cartier earrings, a ring by DVF by H. Stern, Fred Leighton cuff, and bangles by Cartier and David Yurman. Bandage dresses do come a long way yet Kate revived this tricky dress with all that baby fat gone. Either Revolutionary Road required her to huff and puff her way into squeezing her body back again with Leo DiCaprio’s but this Herve Leger bandage loveliness is all right in her tummy and hip areas. Doesn’t this picture serve as a wonderful motivator though? Summer perhaps? Looking at her makes me wanna do a number on that treadmill like, now.

The best thing about a bandage dress is that it zeroes in on getting rid of body fat exposure. The material strips and sews itself into flattened stomach and hip oblivion even Christina Aguilera’s chest would be so proud.
