Probably thanks to VSCO girls, bandeaus, also commonly known as tube tops are coming in HOT for Spring/Summer 2020. But they aren’t just for the VSCO girl! Bandeaus can add style and flair to any outfit with little effort. *PRO Tip: choose the appropriate undergarments so you’re not pulling & tugging all the time…even a […]

How & when to wear leggings
I get asked this question quite often and there are many (and I mean MANY) opinions on this subject in the fashion world…so for what it’s worth, here’s mine. RULE #1: NEVER SOLO AS PANTS RULE #2: (kinda the same as rule #1) ALWAYS COVER YOUR BUM unless you’re in the gym or doing your […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR (and how is it already the end of January?)
First of all, thank you to those that have followed along this past year…liking, loving and sharing on social media as I learn and grow both personally and professionally. I’ve met so many new fabulous friends through my work so THANK you, thank YOU and THANK YOU for your love, kindness and support. It seems […]
Styling those sneakers
Sneakers are hot and on trend! I’m still building my collection (wondering how many pair is too many?) The options are limitless, so I’m thinking why not have a pair for every occasion? Sneakers are acceptable pretty much anywhere, anytime! Get yourself at least 2 pair: a casual pair for athleisure and another pair for dressing up […]
Online styling service VS. Personal Stylist
Online style services offer a convenience factor and fill a void that many women have (and men, too) when it comes to their wardrobe. Most online stylists offer the same basic service. You create an account, fill out and submit an online profile telling them about yourself and your budget, the company assigns you a […]

Organization is key
The first thing I suggest when I consult with a client is a closet edit. Some of us are better than others at keeping our closets fresh and up to date so this could be a quick and easy thing or a huge undertaking. Editing your closet involves removing and repurposing the old, out […]
Most asked question…
With kids back in school and summer nearing its end, I’m beginning to be presented with my most popular question…Can I wear white after Labor Day? The fashion rules have changed on this favored subject and wearing white is absolutely acceptable year round. White is no longer seasonal. The old rule ‘not after Labor Day […]
Styling Family Photos
Another one of my FAVORITE things to do…choosing what colors & style to wear for family portraits. First of all, matching is not a requirement; however, coordinating is. You don’t want too many colors involved as it takes away from the subjects and faces that you’re trying to document and remember. Two or three colors is […]
Closet Wardrobe Edit
A well planned, up-to-date and organized closet can be your best friend! In order to take the frustration out of your mornings and make getting dressed a breeze, only keep current pieces within arms reach. Donate items that no longer fit and consider your local or online resale shop for items no longer worn but […]
