problem: i want the perfect white shirt!

Problem: You’ve tried sooooo many options but none of the shirts quite meet the ‘perfect” standard. What is THE perfect white shirt? Solution: There are lots of options out there….but some are too loose, too fitted, not long enough, not classic enough but this white button down is tried-and-true-and-PERFECT! STOP complaining that it costs more than your other shirts because if you add up the costs of all those others, this one cost less than that! Invest in looking awesome so

tracee ellis ross holiday capsule collection

Fashion / Style Events

a fashion collab i can get excited about!

I am truly excited about this collaboration ~ besides being a HUGE Tracee Ellis Ross fan, everything about this collection says “I’m going to snag a few fab pieces!”. “The main thing that I wanted to put in this collection was a tux, but I didn’t know if it was possible at a low price point, because I didn’t want anything over $100” Ellis Ross explained. Apparently, she discovered that the addition of pockets (and not lining) would hike up

Accessories

It’s Here: Balmain x H&M

The lines are three blocks long, items are SOLD OUT online already (even before the stores open)….for a 110-piece collection, the dresses are upwards of $200 and there’s plenty. Womenswear, menswear, jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, bags, everything…. That said, these EIGHT pieces are not only my favorite but will likely be rock-able for years to come!! Overall, nothing is cheap, it’s NOT Balmain but some of the pieces are fun. Here are the Balmain x H&M pieces to covet…..

My Top Ten Favorite Style Blogs

WhoWhatWear – when I am feeling uninspired, I go here because the team of writers covers every possible scenario you can think of and although it slants toward twenty and thirty-somethings, there’s all luscious tidbits to find Cheetah is the New Black – this blog does ‘laidback but curated’ to a capitol T! And the owner just opened up her store in Cali could I have that? – she has a leaning toward west coast casual but I love her most

2015 Aspirations

So here were 2014’s Goals & Intentions…. This year’s aspirations are about financial freedom, style curation (of course), and focus…..

Without Saying A Word, Style GuideBook

Peeps. Treats & beverages. Friends & fans. Books. Stylish chatter. Fashionable & personalized insights. And me…. The Graham Georgetown was the perfect place to serve up the “blueprint” cocktail, and share stylish beginnings and chatter for my new style guidebook, “Without Saying A Word: The Silent Power of Style“. It was a blast and if you missed it then you missed personalized style tips, some stories between old friends (ask Stacey of Blogalicious), and custom made treats from my good

Scents & Styles of Fall 2013: The Details

In early summer, I hatched a scheme with a fellow entrepreneur and good friend, Wendy of Evolution Consulting Group, to create an intimate style affair. That’s all I had…. With a little prodding, a few brainstorming sessions fueled by a little ‘creative juice’, we came up with the who, what, when, where and even the why. The intimate style affair needed to focus on the ‘senses’ and fashion, of course. The event would be for my best clients and some

Blurry Leopard Print & The 3-Color Clutch

In life, we don’t get many opportunities to do what we love unfettered and with the aid of sponsorship. Thanks to Last Call Neiman Marcus, I got to go shopping….on their dime. They are in the middle of their “New Arrivals” event – basically lots of great pieces from Neiman Marcus but discounted up to 60% off! I scooped two pieces because, as I share with my clients, it’s about the right pieces, not lots of stuff. I’m continuously on

Street Art as Fashion

Have you ever been walking down the street, saw some street art (aka vandalism), and thought, “Wow! Cool!” India-based designer, Manish Arora, are in cahoots with Brooklyn-based artist, Judith Supine, as part of his debut at Paris Fashion Week. It’s colorful. It’s artsy. It’s daring….but not quite me. This is truly “street” fashion!
