closeted lifestyle

your personal style matters…regardless of who sees it! Checking in around November 2019, I was happily planning out my meteoric entrepreneurial rise in 2020.

Tops

Luxe vs. Less

One of the big trends I’m loving is navy! And to make the transition from winter (albeit very mild) to spring is with pieces that layer….waah-laa! What I always share with my clients ~ if a designer is doing, there’s a lesser known/non-designer brand out there that is making it as well.

Available at Matches Fashion, $393 We’ve featured several pairs of Lanvin sneakers and none of them have been cheap, but in terms of longevity and wearability from Saturday casual to weekday date night to outfit-maker for your club-level seats, these are a sure bet!

High-end Handbag Lover

Are you one? I used to think I was until I started running my own business….LOL. I have a solid collection of Chloe’s and the likes, but I’ve come to realize I’m not nearly as high-end as my grandiose hallucinations lead me to believe. Here are 10 top handbag brands — which do you own? And how many? Bottega Veneta ~ great textures beyond the criss cross woven leather Yves Saint Laurent ~ the classic “Y” somewhere on the bag Ralph

I am a slave to technology and although I’m not a pioneer, I do claim to know what’s hip and hot, and what’s not. That said, I’m a little old school too because I love paper…..there is something wonderfully chic and all-encompassing about paper; it’s tactile. So, today I am sharing a couple of great finds I’ve uncovered across the last few days that should allow you to tap into your inner-style and pen it for the world to see or perhaps just

Snake This into Your Wardrobe

We’re all sick of winter — it’s been long, relatively unmanageable, and downright obnoxious!

While I am not a fan or frequent peruser of eBay, this is where you’ll need to go to find this piece. But, with this necklace that has an adjustable clasp and malleability, it’s a terrific conversation piece.
