We just completed the first in a series of Fashion Workshops last night and I felt compelled to share the ‘first steps’ with all of you in light of the recent spike in temps. (Global warming is fake news? Give me a break – get a grip!) We fashionista’s are always anxious to embrace the new seasons – […]
Keeping up with the latest runway looks, catalogue styles and featured store promotions can be confusing, expensive and a full-time job. Trust me, I work at it daily! What’s a busy wanna-be fashionista to do? Simple – update your Fall wardrobe by color! Ever heard of Pantone? They are the leading color analysts in the […]
Seems like the minute that August arrives, so do the chilly feet! It’s easy to throw on a sweater, grab a sweatshirt or don a shawl on a chilly afternoon, but the challenge of defining the footwear is so much more cumbersome. We get so used to the freedom of spreading toes, that we cringe […]
The truth be told, many women stress daily about dressing. If you are a repeat reader you know that I spend my writing hours trying to de-stress the situations. I give advice on closet editing, building wardrobes, how to accessorize, how to dress by body proportion, how to accentuate the assets and disguise the liabilities, […]

From the runways to the movies, to the department stores, even home furnishings, you name it, it comes in velvet this season!I often joke with my event crowds that no doubt they have a Stevie Knicks floor length velvet skirt hanging in the dark side of […]
Hoping to comfortably step out in style this holiday season? Wondering what makes a good holiday shoe? That’s kind of like wondering what makes a good zucchini bread. Well Dorothy, you are going to need the basics – flour, sugar, raisins, and zucchini – agreed? But diving deeper it could be white flour, whole-wheat flour, […]
