Sure, body type and color and trends are all important components of great style, but nothing is more unique to you than your personal style. And fortunately, while other things diminish with age (readers are a constant fixture for me now!) personal style isn’t one of them. The older we get, the better we know […]

It’s the in-between clothes that get us, every single time. Most of us can pull off the occasional dressy look, and we’ve nailed our corporate or business casual looks for work. We also have no problem with workout clothes or cleaning the house/puttering in the garden clothes. But what about everything else? All of the […]

You can’t make a whole video about a single dress, can you? Because I almost did. This video idea came to me when I discovered the perfect dress. And we all know that’s like finding the fabled needle in a haystack. I kind of pride myself on finding needles-in-haystacks, from truly comfortable heels to well-priced […]

People think that stylists have some secret sauce that makes all of their outfits magically come together, and we do.

Some of us take shop til we drop literally. I mean, what else is there to do on weekends? Growing up, a trip to the local mall was a weekend ritual for my mom and sister and me. There, we would shop til we dropped, or until we hit Cinnabon or Sparro for a snack. […]

There are two ways we are going to fight back against the wave of frumpy styles being pushed on us as we get older: a wardrobe of modern classics combined with a selection of modern accessories. When one or the other is off, an outfit can look dated and therefore a little frumpy. There is […]

The world can be divided into roughly two types of women: Women who are into designer bags (whether that’s Michael Kors or Brahmin or Gucci) and women who aren’t. The problem with being in the second category is that sometimes the options for high-quality, elegant bags are pretty limited, with mostly canvas, nylon, or cheap […]

Ruts happen. It’s easy to get stuck in the same old same old. Wearing the same styles in the same ways and the same colors and shopping at the same stores. It happens to all of us. Whether it’s out of habit or comfort or laziness, it can be easy to wake up one day […]
