Dressing fashionably on a college budget – impossible? Not anymore. You just have to ‘shop with purpose’. This week I was a panelist at Boston University for the 85 Broads Spring Conference, a network of over 20,000 trailblazing women across the world.
Last week 700 women attended Winchester’s Women Helping Women “Project Runway 2012” fundraiser, to benefit the Chamber of Commerce. It was a smashing sold-out success! This years’ theme for the designers was Pulled From the Headlines. One design in particular, caught my eye, an elegant floor-length evening gown designed by the amazing metal artist, Madeleine […]

My recent post, Think Outside the Box, has brought in numerous questions with the top two being: What was the photo shoot for and what is Style For Hire? In response, I am posting this video of the photo shoot previous to the one I referenced (the new one is under lock and key), to […]
While we here in the greater Boston area are searching our closets for the now necessary winter hats, gloves and turtleneck sweaters (which we have been lucky not to need up until now) our fashionable neighbors in the South (and by south I mean, Providence, RI) are pulling out their designer dresses and platform pumps […]
Quite honestly, my average Sunday is, well, usually average. However, this Sunday was proof positive that we are in control of our own destiny, and it is shaped by the decisions we make. Yesterday I found myself in NY City, with Stacy London (TLC’s What Not To Wear) and her entourage, being primped, styled, made-up […]
