You just can’t avoid the Labor Day Sales. They’re throttling away on TV, radio, online and of course, your phone. Buy, buy, buy. I must get ten emails a day declaring a deal. But seriously how much new stuff do we really need? Now there’s the key word – NEED. Ladies, let’s assess the need […]
Plus Size? No problem! You’ve come a long way baby! Over the past 3-decades that the plus size trend has truly been defined, it was never described as fashionable. It was always laden with neutral color basics and housed in an upstairs corner in the department store or relegated to the basement near the washers […]
Would you rather tiptoe around or loaf around? I have to admit I am not a tiptoe kind of gal. I am more to the point – direct, precise and calculated when it comes to my decisions – that includes my fashion choices. When ballet flats popped into pop culture, I was skeptical. Let’s say […]
Call me old fashioned, but I love the term “back to school”. It musters up life’s timeline by streaming old photos through my memory.

When it comes to seasonal shopping I find many women are savvy fall/winter shoppers, and less than savvy spring/summer shoppers. Part of the reason for that is the mental attitude around the items themselves. When we think fall/winter clothing, the following terms may float to the top: rich colors, luxurious fabrics, staples and classic investment […]
Now I know there are naysayers out there – oh I am perfect as I am – I am gray because I want to be, I wear elastic pants because I want to be comfortable, I wear Dansko’s because I have bunions, I don’t need a new bra because I like my girls dangling around […]
As a stylist I get asked about – well – just about everything! This week the subject of glasses came up in two settings. First in my Signature Styling Workshop this week and second when I was contacted directly by Warby Parker and asked if I would collaborate with them on their summer launch! The […]
Pretty Power Play: How To Make A Powerful Presence
Pretty – Attractive to look at Power – The ability to control Play – A person that has a lot of influence over other people When it comes to image, dressing with purpose, could be defined in many ways. I often compare it to the ‘wardrobe’ of an actor who is dressed for the role of the laboring […]
