Think. Design. Create….YOU!
Hello You! I was that image consultant who mastered the techniques, delivered structure, color, style… But something still bothered me. It wasn’t a lack of commitment: It was a lack of depth. There is definitely a shallow element to any industry focused on appearances, but I think of it this way. Fashion is just the surface and when speaking about the surface sometimes it is very difficult to see what lies beneath. It is hard to distill much from the quotes / social media accounts, etc. of fashion industry people because often times they are attempting to project an image. Usually that image involves things that are somewhat trite –…

“Let it Flow, Let it Be, and Let it Come to Me”.
Things arrive. Solutions appear. What was dark becomes bright —such are the cycles of life. No sea is only rising. No sky is only storms. No season is only cold. No cycle is only decline. I know, there are times when life challenges us—a lot. But the way out will never be despair, but rather the faith that everything falls into place in its own time. In the meantime, our greatest mission is to take care of ourselves and continue building the version of ourselves we will be proud of when the weather improves. “First you become the person, then you live the reality.” This phrase, which I heard from…

Be You! : Fashion and the Herd Effect
Hello You! In the search for belonging, many people end up following the “herd effect,” adopting fashion trends simply because they are popular. However, fashion should be a unique expression of who you are. As Coco Chanel said, “Fashions fade, style remains.” This personal style is what sets you apart from others, and not every popular trend needs to be in your wardrobe. The herd effect refers to the phenomenon in which individuals imitate the actions of a group, often ignoring their own preferences and individuality. In fashion, this can mean adopting pieces or styles that, while modern, don’t reflect your essence or flatter your body type. A classic example…

We often hear the phrase “living with style”, but what does that really mean? And how does it apply to our daily lives? We all have a unique personality that is reflected in our daily choices, from the music we listen to to the food we eat. And fashion is no different. Your personal style is an extension of who you are, and finding and embracing it can be an empowering and revealing…

Six Limiting Beliefs About Style You Should Ignore
Hello You! I was recently thinking about all the fashion “rules” that exist and how they can limit our ability to step into our true style. I generally disregard the fashion dos and don’ts, unless they apply to fit and proportion, but for those who still think you have to abide by those outdated and arbitrary ideas, it’s time to rethink things.

So Long 2023, Looking Ahead to 2024!
For me — 2023 — like most years, was filled with its share of highs and lows. I’m incredibly grateful for all the wonderful people in my life — and for all the amazing experiences I’ve been able to participate in. Tough times — a blessing in disguise? I’m grateful for the hard times also. It was hard for me to type that, because I would prefer to not experience tough times, but they’re a reality of life. Difficulties can teach us the most valuable lessons, but we have to be open to receiving the messages. (I’m speaking to myself also.) Bet on yourself The most gratifying experiences in my…
