It’s official, it’s Spring and we have mentally checked out of Winter. Done deal, dead to us. Over worked, over covered, over done. No matter where I go women are saying enough, enough of these drab duds, let me out of my house and out of these clothes. I popped into an office this week and […]
This past month has been filled with the color red – red valentines, red roses, red carpets and even red gloves! Amidst the sea of red I am reminded that outside my window there is nothing but a sea of white. As I approach my closet, I am reminded that there is nothing but a sea of […]
Let’s start with this: Permission To Wear Heels Granted! For a kid whose pants were always too short, I didn’t end up being a ‘tall’ woman, not by industry standards anyway. Now there’s a can of worms – what the heck are industry standards? Was that something that went awry during the Tupperware era? (That […]
Want to look your best in the year ahead? Of course you do! It’s time for ‘out with the old’ and ‘in with the new’, attitude that is! There is no shortage of articles on resolutions covering everything from weight loss to relationship advice, but quite frankly, small changes can lead to big results no […]
A great coat, like a fabulous handbag or stunning shoes, can pull your look together in a moment. Use it to make an entrance, to disguise the liabilities or to make an impactful style statement. It is so much more than a cloak for warmth! If you have been gliding through the early part […]
To give or not to give… I did a bit of interviewing for this piece. Over the past few days I have asked teachers, hairdressers, UPS drivers, shop owners, fashionistas and friends to share what not-so-fabulous past gifts they would gladly have exchanged for gift cards. They also shared specific gifts that show up year after […]
Tis the season… to be jolly? Tis the season to be stressed and frazzled might seem more like it. The holiday season can be a whirlwind of errands – shopping, wrapping, cleaning, baking, decorating, and more shopping, all of this on top of a 40 hour work week. As if that isn’t exhausting enough, you are expected […]
FYI – It Is A Two Way Street! If you are going to shop, you should consign and if you are going to consign, you should shop! Who really likes to pay retail? I recently purchased a St. John sweater at my local consignment shop Revolve, for 65.00. The original retail was over 800.00 – aka way out of […]
Are you in a style rut? Not sure how to battle your way out? Feeling stuck in your neutral-zone wardrobe or same old, same old look? It’s easy to get into a habit or keep a look that worked for you…once…a decade ago. Maybe it’s time for a change! Recognize and acknowledge your own rut […]
Denim Is Suffering From The Blues
And the decline is being driven by women! 99% of the female population is wearing those stupid black stretch pants (aka LuluLemons) 24/7 instead of a basic pair of jeans! It’s amazing, stand in any Starbucks, walk on any campus, check out any mom in the school pick-up line and no one is wearing jeans anymore. […]
