I often recomend Vivaia shoes to my clients. They are comfortable, stylish, light-weight, well priced, and many styles are on currently on sale.
This brand is a big hit with celebrities as well as my clients.
Actually, my clients are the true celebrities. 🙂
You know how some people say if you haven’t worn something in a year, it’s time to let it go?
Well, I never subscribed to that ‘rule’ for myself or my clients.
If you’ve owned something sort of unique for years, love to wear it, and look good in it, then it’s a keeper.
Some things are timeless, while others are not. Ex: Cold Shoulder tops.
This brings me to what I was wearing in the above photo.
I switched my belt three times before settling on my 15-year-old Hadley Pollet belt.
Something just told me to wear it.
Off I went to a great networking event at author Fran Hauser’s Bedford Books store in Bedford, NY.
Much to my overwhelming delight and surprise, look at who I met!!!! Here I am with the designer Hadley Pollet herself, along with author extraordinaire Sara Bliss
Talk about full-circle fashion moments!
As I get older, I spend more on myself, trying out different styles and buying more expensive clothes than I used to.
As you get older, change is beneficial and helps turn back the clock on your self-image.
Try following these six ways to elevate your style and discover that you can look better than you have in years.
When it comes to applying eyeshadow, technique matters, and the tools you use can make all the difference. In my latest video, I’m sharing a quick tip that can quickly and easily correct mistakes and make your application look professional.
One of my favorite tools is this Blender Brush. If you’ve ever struggled with blending or creating a smooth transition between colors, this brush is a must-have. It’s soft, easy to use, and gives your eyeshadow that seamless finish you’ll love.
Before applying any shadow, I always recommend starting with a good primer. It helps the color pop and keeps everything in place all day. I’ve been using this Eye Shadow Primer and I love how lightweight and effective it is.

Get A Bra Fitting To Look Thinner, taller, and make your outfits instantly fit better.
Remember what Grandma used to look like when she was wearing an old bra or shudders, no bra at all?
Just because we get older and gravity is having a big laugh on behalf of a variety of our body parts, we can easily lift up our breasts to where they belong.
Did you know that when you are wearing poor fitting and old bras you most probably look older than you are or feel? Who wants that?
Go get a professional bra fitting, and expect to be amazed.
Without a proper fitting bra, your waistline appears bigger, clothes don’t fit properly, and you look hunched over. None of these seem like desirable options, so head over to a local lingerie shop or department of a major department. I do prefer a local store for starters, since I like the idea of supporting your community, while they are literally about to support you!
If you never had a professional bra fitting, you don’t know what you’re missing. When you discover what size you really are, as chances are you are indeed wearing the wrong size, you will be delighted at how good you and yours can look in a proper fitting bra.
It’s time for a professional bra fitting, if it has been a year or more since you replaced them.
I know bras can be very expensive, and it hurts to have to replace them, but odds are that after one year, they are no longer doing the job they were intended to; keeping you up, centered and proud! Bras get worn our just like we do after exercise, and keeping breasts up where they should be, can be exhausting!
Remember that not only will you look better; you’ll also feel a lot better when you see how uplifting this experience will be.
So, when should you get new bras?
Almost every time I have a wardrobe styling consultation with a client, I ask when was the last time they had a bra fitting or bought new bras?
I remember one new client in particular who was about 60 years old, and had bras that were clearly past their expiration date. When I showed her, by pulling her straps up, that there was so much space being taken up by her breasts being down, she saw for herself that a few new bras were clearly needed.
I took her to the lingerie department of the store where we had just finished getting her fantastic new clothes and I left her in the dressing room with the bras the sales associate had given her after measuring her to determine what size and style bra in which she would look best.
Suddenly I heard a woman screaming from the dressing room, and quickly realized it was my client. I ran to her dressing room and asked her if she was all right. Turns out, she was shouting with joy. She was so excited, because as she told me, “ I didn’t know my breasts could look like this again”.
So, when should you get a new bra? There are a few key factors into when you should get a new bra:
But here is the best incentive to get a professional bra fitting and a few new bras: You will have a more visible waistline when your breasts are up where they belong. When you lengthen the space between the breasts and hips, you will have a more defined waist and all your clothes will look 100% better on you.
Get ready to definitely look younger, thinner and taller when wearing a great fitting bra. You will definitely stand taller; look thinner, feel younger as your bust will be up where it used to be in your teen years but thankfully, without all the high school drama.
Don’t wear pants like these!
Beware of pockets like these, because hips don’t lie.Thank you, Shakira.
There are a lot of pants out there these days with large pockets at the hips and tummy. If you are straight and not hippy or round, it’s fine to wear them; however, is that where you want to draw attention? When shopping, be aware of this pocket style. Do try another style of pants that don’t have this large pocket detail. Then compare which style is more flattering on you. Shop like Goldilocks or Shakira to get it just right.
For gifts for yourself or others, a great place to find unique, pretty, and well-priced accessories is in museum gift shops.
I knew that, but also forgot.
Last week, I gave a Stop Stressing About Dressing presentation to a great group of women, and one brave man, at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT.
I needed to be there at 8:30 on a Saturday morning, so my routine was a bit off.
While driving, I realized I forgot to put my earrings and ring on.
The person who was going to advise on what to wear and how to accessorize forgot her accessories!!!! Ugh, yikes, and 🤪.
But it was meant to be. Waiting for me was a rack full of beautiful scarves, bags, and tops, a table filled with pretty jewelry, and a beautifully curated gift shop where I was able to borrow a pair of earrings and rings so my outfit was complete. Whew!
Below are the earrings I purchased for myself in the Bruce Museum gift shop.
They are completely different than anything I own or have seen in traditional retail stores, and I love them!
