The Gift List

Over the years of working in closets and with clothes there are a few items that I have tried and trusted and go to time and time again. Some are weird…sulfur on your face (trust me) and some our way expensive (cashmere travel wrap). But these are the things I recommend to all my clientsContinue reading “The Gift List”

Shop and Support – This Thursday

    March was Brain Injury Awareness Month, but I want to bring attention to it in April. Why? Because when someone suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI) it doesn’t go away, ever. Month after month, year after year, the sufferer may look healed, or may look like nothing ever happened. But just because theyContinue reading “Shop and Support – This Thursday”

Spring, The Ugly Stepsister of the Seasons

“Oh my gosh I am so excited to go shopping for spring clothes!!” – said no one ever. Poor Spring, it’s one of the prettiest seasons and one of the most overlooked.

Behind the Photo Shoot, AKA 50 Shades of Awkward

I am  bummed that February is almost over. I can no longer dress up in my red jacket, leopard scarf and snake-skin boots and hang out near the checkout isles of grocery stores, waiting to be recognized for being in a magazine. Don’t laugh, I actually did consider this just because I was so excitedContinue reading “Behind the Photo Shoot, AKA 50 Shades of Awkward”

Valentine’s Day

So let’s be honest, flowers die. Candy makes us feel happy while we are eating it but not the next day when our jeans feel tight. Here is my list of things that I would like to “BE MINE.” 1. Red nail polish. Perfect for your nails, or your toes! Or for both. I amContinue reading “Valentine’s Day”
