By Leave a Comment

It’s that delightful time of year filled with longer days of sunshine, chirping birds, and blooming flowers. There is a sense of freshness, new beginnings and growth! Let’s take our cue from the rejuvenating aura of Spring and embrace wardrobes that reflect this season of color and light .

Consider your lifestyle – what you do in a week or a month? How do you spend your weekends? What types of events and social functions do you anticipate regularly that you might like to be prepared for ahead of time? Think through the reality of your lifestyle and then determine your greatest need(s).

Take a look at my latest shoppable catalog chock full of fun colors and trends; I hope it will spark your interest and enthusiasm for revitalizing your wardrobe in big or small ways this Spring!

Thoughts from a Personal Stylist – Hint: It’s About You, Beauty!

By Leave a Comment

You are Unique and Unrepeatable. Let that sink in. Yes, you. Your Beauty is different than everyone else’s beauty. Yours is You. Unabashedly You. You have evolved over time to the person you are today….You have grown, you have learned, you have failed, you have triumphed. Wherever you are today, now, stand in it. Fully express yourself in how you show up each day. What does that mean?

It means living in the joy and confidence of your life today and being grateful. It means showing respect for yourself and others. It means radiating ‘all of that’ in a way that represents you, your inner and outer beauty, your personality, and your beliefs in a way that is attractive.

Attractiveness attracts. Think of walking down a lane and observing different yards in the neighborhood. You come across one that has flowers, lovely landscaping, and perhaps some roses that are near where you are walking so you stop and take a sniff. You were drawn in. You noticed. You were uplifted. You saw beauty.

Feeling and looking your best is attractive. You attract people to you by the way you look, act and carry yourself. Think of all the good you can do just by dressing well, being cheerful and sharing a smile. It is truly magnetic and you can use it for the good. You can be an ambassador of beauty. You can be the one who brings a smile to another’s face. You can be the one that people want to meet and have a conversation with. Are there many other benefits? Why yes….

You will likely make more friends….you will draw in new clients….you will work better…you will elevate others (and your milieu) by dressing to your strengths and your innate dignity….you will have more confidence, comfort and an overall feeling that you are ready for whatever happens. Also, on the plus side, when you are dressed in a way that totally suits you (silhouette, coloring, personality, lifestyle) no longer is there a reel playing over and over in your head repeating questions like “does this look good on me” or “is this the right outfit for this occasion”? Banished. You can get on with whatever you’re doing with full focus. Not to mention knowing what looks fab on you means not wasting time or money on clothing that doesn’t suit you or your purpose. It also means no more decision fatigue.

Permit yourself to be who you are and integrate your personality into your wardrobe. You will see how this radiates outward in a compelling manner to everyone around you.

“Yes, yes, I want all of that”, you say!

Here’s how I can help you achieve these goals:

1)      Comprehensive, nuanced, unique-to-you color analysis. Never guess again if a color looks great on you or not. Avoid looking tired or ill by wearing only hues that totally flatter YOU.

2)      Edit your wardrobe: What’s the end game? Only clothes you love and they love you back get to ‘hang in your closet’.

3)      Teach you how to identify and own your personal style; it’s SO fun, I have to say!!!

4)      Identify any gaps that will complete and/or enhance you/your wardrobe and rock your personal style to the max.

5)      Shop for you using state of the art digital closet technology. It’s amazing: makes communication and seeing the visuals a breeze. This technology is available to certified stylists only.

6)      Style what you have along with any new pieces to multiply your looks and gain maximum versatility.

7)      Prep and style you for travel, events, photo shoots, conferences, TV appearances, book tours, black tie events, wedding attire – you name it!

8)      Create a comfortable, confidential and relaxed atmosphere for all interactions.

9)      Head to Toe! I will make recommendations for eyewear (and accompany you whenever possible), hair styles (and color) as well as make referrals for make-up application.

10)    My approach is personalized: no formulas. Everything is geared to your lifestyle needs. I provide solutions that take the weight off of your shoulders and make life (and getting dressed) more delightful. I offer packages and will also customize them where needed.

It is a complete joy for me to assist wonderful women like yourself. Seeing the fantastic outcomes and transformations, the smiles, the confidence, the relief…..the world becomes a more beautiful and uplifting place one woman, one outfit at a time!
