PASSION OVER PRACTICALITY: WHEN PASSION SHOULD OVERRIDE PRACTICALITY
Last week, my client, Mrs. Wonderful, who is now living in Paris, was in town to do some shopping. As always, we stopped by one of our favorite shops, Meg. In the past, I have written about our shopping trips to this wonderful store that is owned by the designer, Meg...
BLUE AND WHITE BUTTON-UP SHIRTS: OUTFITS FOR WORK
Last week, I worked on pulling shopping selections for a client with ‘coastal grandmother’ style. This client is in fact a grandmother, aged 74, and let’s just say coastal-adjacent. The funny part is, she had no idea her desired style had a name. As she was describing...
WHITE JEANS FOR WORK: STYLING THIS BUSINESS-CASUAL SUMMER STYLE

SUMMERY STRUCTURE: TAILORED LINEN PANTS FOR SUMMER
The first thing most people think of when they think of linen pants is easy, elastic waist pants that are fluid, and drapey. Well, first they probably think wrinkles. Linen is the perfect summer fabric due to the properties of the flax plant that make it naturally...
TRAPEZE DRESSES FOR SUMMER: HOW TO WEAR THESE RELAXED WARM-WEATHER STYLES
See what I did there with the header photo? Trapeze, trapeze dress? In case you don't know, that person swinging up there is me. I took a trapeze class for my 46th birthday in 2020. It was the last cool thing I did that year before the world shut down. I figured, if I...
BOLD BOTTOMS: HOW TO WEAR COLORED PANTS
Once the weather gets warm, the desire for more color in our clothes increases and, certainly, wearing colorful pants during the spring/summer is nothing new. However, this season, I'm noticing the requests for bold bottoms have increased dramatically with even my...
