Where To Find 29 Great Gifts For Women and Men - Beauty Gift Guide - 09/2021

Hi There..... Are you ready for a new gift guide? How about I show you some unique gifts for her today?

So sorry, but that’s not the gift guide I had planned for you today. Ah, now you are getting curious, aren’t you? Oops, no, I should have known you’re not, because I gave it away in my title. Don’t you just hate it when someone ruins the surprise? I admit, I am an evil woman. 😁

No, no, of course I am not. For all I know, I could be the opposite of evil. What if someone would have panicked if I wouldn’t have given them the heads up about this new gift guide? Perhaps there are some people reading my blog posts that shock easily. 😨

Aha, I am perfectly certain you haven’t thought of that. As you can see, I am not at all an evil woman, but an extremely considerate person. Genuine kindness is when you have compassion for someone’s suffering. Oh my, I just realized I am such a wonderful person. 😎

Positive thinking, that’s what we all need most nowadays. Uh, no, that has to be a mistake. I am almost certain it’s gift guides we need the most? Now I’m utterly confused, but if there is one thing I am sure of it's that I filled this gift guide with unique gifts for her and him. 😍

DETOX HEMPCOAL MASK $20.92



Who is NHB?
NHB is the acronym of someone who is bold, unapologetic, dared, and overall non look judgmental. 

Which are the key takes in these products?
Natural ingredients, Vegan, Made in America, cross-cultural and skin effective. 

What is NHB favorite thing?
Our favorite thing is empowering thru a space for borderless expression, limitless beauty and safe environment.

What makes NHB special?
We don't aim to be special. We aim to be valuable. 

Which is the Brand goal?
Education further than beauty. We all love Korean, Asian skin but as Westerns we do not hold the same environment, diet or lifestyle, which is scientifically proven to be part of the skin complexion. We can't measure our beauty using someone else rule, we are here to help you build your own rule. Without fear, judgement or comparison. 

What would you like people to know about NHB?
We are honest and we like to call things as they are. If this is a Primer we call it a primer, if this is a Moisturiser we call it a moisturiser. If x product has some scientific prove to work we put it there, if a product is not working as expected we take it out. We like to keep it real, that's our foundation. 

What makes you different?
NHB matches digital trends with beauty and lifestyle experiences. We do not focus solely on a serum or a cleanser, we look to match an experience with the performance of the product and then give it a twist with digital. We dream with digitalised beauty that can be experienced. 

Detox Hemp Charcoal Mask is a rose-scented clarifying mask that is a powerful combination of charcoal and three clay types for smooth naturally exfoliated and enriched skin.

Travel Size CBD Skincare Bundle $90.00



Degelis + KymB both believe in the healing power of cannabinoids. Back in 2017, Dege had already begun to pioneer the clean vaping movement. 

Smoking flower irritated her sensitive respiratory system, and vaping cannabinoids at lower temperatures solved this problem for her. However, there were very few trust-worthy vaping options that were potent, lab tested and tasted good. 

After working with farmers, extractors, and chemists, she launched an all-natural, strain-specific proprietary line of vape oil. In the early days, very few people were talking about the difference between healthy and unhealthy vapes, and many people didn’t realize that some products had toxic additives that could cause harm. It wasn’t until the Vape Crisis of 2019 that mainstream media including Rolling Stone and Forbes began to highlight companies like TribeTokes for making products in a clean way without unhealthy chemicals.

As the universe would have it, Dege + KymB met at an NYC Women Grow event in NYC. KymB was the NYC ambassador and offered to pour Dege a glass of wine. Right then and there a partnership was born. They quickly realized that they had the same vision for growing a tribe or a tight knit community of customers, advocates and enthusiasts. Kym had used her health and fitness background to develop a plant-based clean beauty product. She was looking for a way to bring it to market and Dege said LET'S DO THIS, and the TRIBEAUTY line of CBD Clean Skincare was born.

As cannabis demand continues to grow, Degelis and Kym are creating a community that elevates people. They want people to have access to ultra-healthy products that look great on their shelves. In a market lacking transparency, their guiding principle is "Never sell a product you wouldn't give your own mother or sister." 

Their community is a place of transparency, innovation, and empowerment. The TribeTokes team is obsessed with developing healthy products with powerful therapeutic effects to empower people and businesses with the knowledge, and access they need to enrich their lives.

Want to bring your skincare game to the next level for a full 1-2 weeks, but tight on a budget? Taking a 1-2 week vacation and want to keep your skin fabulous while traveling?

Interview with Fashion Stylist Sam Russell

Hi There..... What do you think? Is it time for some more inside knowledge of the fashion industry? Would you like another fashion stylist interview?

Those should be straightforward answers. What do you think? None of my business. It is time for the fashion industry? Yes. Would you like a fashion stylist interview? Yes. Easy peasy, but there are so many questions left unanswered. Perhaps you would like to know what the meaning of life is, or will we still eat meat in the future? Significant questions, but you will have to look for another type of blog to get those answered. 😜

You won't get any answers for those from me. My lips are sealed. Although nowadays it takes a lot to get my lips sealed. I am not the type who sits quietly and says nothing. I used to be, but that's a very long time ago. 😁

No, no, wait, please don't go. I don't think there is a meaningful answer to those questions, so perhaps you had better stay here. My fashion stylist on the blog today will give you some answers. Besides, the meaning of life is way too profound. Some intel on the fashion industry is much more interesting and fun. 😄

So let me tell you somewhat more about Sam Russell. He's the head of The Wardrobe Department.
He is a Los Angeles-based fashion stylist. His clients range from Paramount Pictures, actor/activist Sophia Bush to Soap Opera legend Jacob W. Young and Hollywood’s newest ingenue, Eve Mauro.

In his spare time, he asks the designers that gift generously to his clients, to also consider gifting clothing to everyday women with unique stories. That’s his other heartbeat, The Giving Closet.

How old are you?

Gasp. That will cost you a drink and a lobster dinner. This is where I tell you to guess my age, then I laugh as you are ten years off.
 

What kind of work do you do?

I’ve worked on tv shows, editorials, fashion look books, advertising, runway shows, traveled with Stevie Wonder, and lots of personal shopping.
 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist?

It found me.
A former modeling agent of mine in Texas liked my fashion sense and groomed me to become a fashion stylist. I advanced fast locally, but knew I needed to move to a bigger market to challenge myself professionally. Fast forward to Los Angeles, 18 years later.
 

Is fashion important to you? Why?

I’ve been on a personal journey to see if fashion can spark joy. I’ve seen the struggles of my mom growing up raising 3 boys after my dad died. How she used fashion and education to advance in her career and became the social envy of women that couldn’t pull themselves together like she did.
I never forgot the power of dressing up.

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

My first glimmer of success in my eyes was leading Femme Fatales Magazine to win the Maggie Award for Most Improved Publication. The editor even gifted me the certificate.
To get there, I had to sit the team down and explain firmly why we needed to hire better photographers for the photoshoots. I was young with a lot of confidence.
Another win for me is the 19 lives I’ve met through Giving Closet.
In 2011, I started a passion project where I surprise women with unique stories of perseverance with personalized wardrobe upgrades valued at $10,000 per person.

Cancer survivors, abuse survivors, and single moms entering the workforce. I find their stories through third parties, they never see it coming!

It’s titled Giving Closet and soon will morph into Sammy’s Closet. It feels like a success to me. Watching these women move on to nail their next job interview and go through life feeling like their luck has changed is everything!

All of it feels like my calling in life.
 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

What’s important to me is to mix established brands with young, broke artisans just starting up. I make space for all of it in my universe.
 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

Eclectic clothing, bold jewelry, and whimsical patterns. I like color and the more my inner voice has awakened, the more expressive I want to dress.

I’m evolving like the women I meet.
 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

To be honest, A TV anchor in Atlanta named Robin Meade told me about The Real Real. I’m truly able to merge all my favorite designers in one place, on a budget.
My heart swoons for this website.
My signature look lately is quirky t-shirts from Dolce and Gabbana with jewelry from Adina Mills. I also collect jackets. Like, a lot. I plan on donating them to an LGBT youth center after my time's up on this planet.

In what way do you influence other people’s clothing style?

I’m more interested in touching what people love about themselves and fashion and staying in that arena. 
If you can alter your inner voice, you can manifest your dreams. I prefer to make sure my clients are thinking positively before we can even start.
 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Behind closed doors, and in private settings, Haute couture is making a major comeback.
Haute couture is truly unforgettable. It’s like, the more the general population suffers, the more expensive and artistic the clothing gets. 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

If it doesn’t bring you joy, destroy it. Remove it from your life. This applies to people, too.
The worst trend is people-pleasing. That translates to conservative clothing.

I also really think we all need a break from camouflage.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Bring color into your life. Having a bad day? Client stressing you out? Is your ex sending mixed messages?

Put on a confident, colorful coat with jewelry that grounds you (crystals, something tied to a positive emotion), before making hard decisions.
 

Who is your style icon and why?

Costume designer Patricia Field from The Sex and The City series.

Why? I met her a couple of times in NYC—she left a magical, cool impression on me. Plus, her work is a landmine of inspiration.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Stroke someone’s ego too much, you strip them of their humanity. I was part of that problem for a long time in Hollywood.

Then, I changed that. Fashion doesn’t have to be all surface and shallow. It’s what you make of it.


Ooh, I love the idea behind The Giving Closet. Thanks for taking the time to fill in my interview questions. If you ever make it to Belgium, you can come and visit me to get that drink.

Fall in love with Rock Climbing Tees - Dynamite Starfish - Inspired T-shirt Designs

Hi There..... Do you like rock climbing? Are you a fan of Tees? Would you like some tips on unique T-shirt designs for rock climbers?

I used to do a lot of rock climbing when I was just a teeny bit younger. Ok, ok, you caught me on a lie. Perhaps it was a teeny bit longer ago then. 😏

Such a shame that they didn't have those kinds of T-shirt designs back then. We had tees, obviously, but the fabrics were completely different. I may be old, but not ancient. 😁

My mom and dad were in a hiker club when I and both my sisters were still toddlers. They always took us with them on long walks across the countryside. 😍

As we got somewhat older, they sometimes took us walking in the Belgian Ardennes, where there were a lot of forests, hills, rivers, and rocks, too. The mountains in Belgium are not that high, but there are lots of great nature paths. 😊

We also often went to Wales on holiday and visited lots of mountains and waterfalls. I just love waterfalls. Our visit to Swallow falls is something that is etched in my mind. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt. 😜

Ah, ok, you are waiting for my tips on rock climbing inspired T-shirt designs. Dynamite Starfish gifted me this cute Mountain mama T-shirt in return for my honest opinion. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady


What is Dynamite Starfish?

Artist and climber Leslie Kim created dynamite Starfish in 2015. She wanted to create art that highlights the experiences they share as climbers and ultimately brings people together. She believes the lessons learned as rock climbers are important, and transfer over into our everyday lives to help us better care for one another and build community.

Knowing that simply "raising stoke" about climbing isn't enough to keep the passion alive. Before any t-shirt designs were printed, she looked for local organizations that did conservation work in areas she actively climbs in.

Dynamite Starfish donates a percentage of its profits to groups or causes in need. Some of their previous partners include The Navajo and Hopi Families' Covid-19 Relief Fund, The Access Fund, The Friends of Joshua Tree, Friends of the Inyo, Central Wyoming Climbers Association, American Safe Climbing Association, Planned Parenthood, and the American Himalayan Foundation.

Their Mission

They create rock climbing-inspired stickers and T-shirt designs for climbers, misfits, and lovers. 

They seek to create spaces where individuals are free to be themselves. They may not all self-identify as climbers, so they include the misfits: the beautiful spirits who don't fit into any pre-defined box or category. 

If climbing has taught them anything, it's how to be a better friend and partner as they hold each other's lives dearly by ropes. To climb is to love. Dynamite Starfish also believes in approaching life, climbing, and the outdoors with mindfulness for the longevity of our lives and our planet's resources.

They offer designs on t-shirts and tanks, which are carefully chosen for softness, comfort, and the least environmental impact.

Many of their tees are screen-printed by Leslie in Los Angeles, California. They print their made-to-order items using a network of printers that allows them to offer a large variety of T-shirt designs and styles.

A few of their values

Live the life that makes you free.
Respect nature and the outdoors.
Create meaningful experiences.
Find beauty in the everyday life.
Inspire one another.

What's with the name?

Dynamite Starfish is a climbing move! Check out the definition below.

"Tightly gripping handholds, simultaneously flagging out both legs then proceeding to violently kick downwards and inwards in a desperate attempt to produce upwards motion; making the climber resemble an explosive bottom feeder."

What does that mean to them? Regardless of how you may appear to others, keep trying. Continue to be bold and brave and always open to learning.

Responsibility & Sustainability

At Dynamite Starfish, they believe in living our best lives indoors and outdoors. Healthy environments are key to this mission. Here are some ways they are working towards creating better environments for ourselves, others, and the planet.
  • Eco-friendly manufacturing
    They only print on tees made in WRAP certified factories. This certification is important to them because they insist on ethical business practices from themselves and their partners.

    • Their main tees supplier uses water-saving dye machines that save 7x as much water as conventional dye machines, and filters and recycles the water they use.
    • They also have solar energy-powered cutting and sewing facilities, virtually zero waste thanks to recycling, and use natural or LED lights.
    • When available, Dynamite Starfish offers 100% organic cotton options for health focuses.

  • Eco-friendly shipping
    They use biodegradable or recyclable bags for mailing most of their products.
    • They do not wrap their tees in plastic wrap like many other e-commerce companies. Your tee will come in minimal packaging with a few informational items from them.

  •  Social Responsibility
    Their brand messaging promotes mindfulness outdoors. Specifically, this means respecting nature and other living things (including humans) with whom you share it with. They also believe that spending time outdoors is a necessary and healing experience for all, and we should not inhibit that for ourselves or others.

  • Outdoor Ethics Education
    At Dynamite Starfish, they do what they can to spread the word about outdoor ethics. Whether that's working with the Access Fund to illustrate their Climbers Pact or printing the 7 Leave No Trace principles on the back of event tees, they want to do their part to keep our outdoor spaces as natural as possible.
Building a better world isn't easy. They know they have their work cut out for them, but they're in it for the long haul.

My opinion on the Mountain mama T-shirt

I adore the color of this T-shirt, it's exactly as I expected. The cut in the back and the fit are great, and the T-shirt is very soft and feels good on my skin. It's perfect for a hot summer day because the fabric is very thin. 

What I find a big plus is their packaging. They didn't wrap the T-shirt in plastic. I love shops that are environmentally responsible and take steps to preserve mother nature.

Let me show you some of their other T-shirt designs




You can also find them on Etsy

Best Tip on Plant Based Wrinkle Release Spray - Tom & Sheri's Iron in a Bottle

Hi There..... Do you like spending time behind your ironing board? Would you like me to tell you more about a plant-based wrinkle release spray? 😉

If you ask me, ironing isn't the worst of all the household chores. Then again, there are so many more fun things to do. Why would we do it if we don't have to? We could spend time with the kids, do a workout, bake a cake, or perhaps just sit back and relax. 😎

I remember when my kids were young, the number of clothes ready for ironing would pile up in no time. I kept waiting for the elves to come at night and clean it all up. Someone else must have kept them busy because they never seemed to make it to our home. 😭

Then again, who can blame them? If I had to choose between sitting back and relaxing on a shelf or cleaning up someone else's ironing pile, I wouldn't have to think twice. 😫

As I told you in my previous blog post, it's just me and my hubby now, so not that much ironing left to do. Our next move is not to go outdoors anymore so that we can wear pajamas all day long. 😏

Wouldn't that be weird? Can you imagine some kind of virus happening where the Government wouldn't allow you to do much except stay in your homes? What a crazy thought. 😂

Ok, back to being serious again. Let's change the subject back to this wrinkle release spray I was talking about. I received Tom & Sheri's Iron in a bottle in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Family-inspired, family-created, and family-owned.
Years ago, Sheri Eudaly gave up ironing and created a homemade wrinkle release spray that turned out to be a game-changer - no more ironing, no more hassle, and best of all...no more wrinkles. 

Her son Austin saw the global need for the product when friends kept stealing his, so in 2018 set out to perfect the formula and share the magic with the world. The goal? Perfecting a modern wrinkle release spray that’s efficient, effective, and plant-based (bonus: it smells great, too!). After several trial runs, Tom & Sheri’s Iron in a Bottle was born.

How does it work

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3. Hang clothing on a hanger or lay it on a flat surface to start, and spray 8-12 inches away from the garment in a sweeping motion until wrinkles on the front and back are slightly damp. Smooth fabric downward, and gently pull to watch the wrinkles release. Let dry completely before wear.

Here is a You Tube video that I made about it - only my second attempt, so hope you won't judge me too hard 😰


Which fabrics can you use it on

Iron in a Bottle is highly recommended for use on wool, oxfords, soft cotton, t-shirts, polyester blends, flannel, heavy cotton, chinos, denim, poplin, linen, and cotton blends. Prior to spraying, shaking, and smoothing the entire garment, they recommend testing a small, hidden portion of the fabric. Proceed with caution on silks, rayon, satin, or fabrics with a tendency to water-spot. 

Is it friendly for the environment

With purified water, a plant-based surfactant, natural quality control agents and a light linen fragrance made from essential oils of only the highest quality, what you see is what you get, and there are never any foreign or unpronounceable ingredients to look up. It’s crucial for them to exclude any harsh chemicals from Iron in a Bottle, while making it safe for even the most sensitive skin, so you can feel at peace using the wrinkle release spray for the entire family.

Is it cruelty-free

They’re proud to be one of only 1000+ companies that have been certified Cruelty Free.

Is it packed sustainable

All-natural. Non-toxic. Eco-friendly. Sustainability is at their core, and protecting global health when delivering this breakthrough formula to your doorstep in the most ecologically sound manner possible is among their most cherished values.

Is it BPA-free

They never use Bisphenol A - an industrial chemical utilized to harden plastic - in any of their construction, due to its potentially toxic effects. Rest assured Iron in a Bottle is safe for the entire family. 

Where is it manufactured

Domestically manufactured, assembled and packaged products support our economy and create much-needed jobs, so they’re proud to report all Tom & Sheri’s products are designed and manufactured in the USA. Investing in products made here not only secures the future of businesses within their country, it puts hard-earned money back to work in America.


My opinion on Tom & Sheri's wrinkle release spray

Wow, this is such a handy product. I had never heard of wrinkle release spray, but I am so impressed. On top of that, it's plant-based and it smells good. This would be perfect to take with you on your holiday, too. 😎

Anyone can do this, because it is super easy. If you have students that live on campus, they can take it with them. It's all a matter of economics wether you want to use it for just a few things, or you want to ditch your iron permanently. 😊

One thing is sure. You won't often catch me behind my ironing board anymore. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Tips on Cute Cat Lover Graphic T shirts - Edmonds Love - Share What You Love

Hi There..... Are you a cat lover, by chance? Do you like to wear graphic T shirts?

That's 2 big Yesses for me. Graphic T shirts can be so cool, and I am a huge cat lover. Any cat-like species will do. You should see my Facebook page. It's full of clips with them. They would have to put me in a straitjacket to keep me from sharing them. I sure hope they don't, because that would be mighty uncomfortable. 😵

Because of my invalidating joint problems, we moved to an apartment about 5 years ago. The kids had left home, and the house got too big for us. I had too much trouble with all the stairs in our old house, so we wanted everything on just one floor. 😊

We thought we would rent for a few years and look for a better place later. There were a lot of advantages to our new home, but one tremendous disadvantage. This big cat lover couldn't keep animals. No problem, of course. My health was more important, so we moved. 😎

Are you kidding me? I miss those little suckers so much. The cuddling up on your lap, the gentle purring in your ear, their craving for attention. No one can resist their charm. There is no use denying, because I won't believe you, anyway. 😜

Since I am still the biggest cat lover, I was so happy when Edmonds Love asked me to write a blog in exchange for their 
Ailurophile - cat lover T-shirt. 😍

About Edmonds.Love

Edmonds Love aspires to share their love of Edmonds, WA, and bring to life what it is to live joyfully in Edmonds and the PNW region today. They love the charm and history of Edmonds and they invite you to show your love with their growing collection of designs. 

What inspires them

They are deeply influenced by the local environment, specifically, the Puget Sound, local lakes and waterways, ancient evergreen trees, soaring bald eagles, snow-capped Olympic Mountains, and countless species of whale, birds, and other creatures. 

Production

All their products are made in the USA and shipped from the USA! They handpick their vendors to ensure their process is eco-friendly. Their inks are water-based, bio-degradable, and non-toxic. At Edmonds.Love, they love the planet and want to preserve it.


Ailurophile - cat lover T-shirt

Maybe you love their independence, their cavalier attitude that screams they could take you or leave you, as long as you give them food. Maybe it's the purring in your ear in the wee hours of the morning, or when they knead your thighs with their little claws, almost drawing blood. The Egyptians treated them like royalty, and they never forgot it. CATS! Whether it be a Siamese, Himalayan, Manx, tabby, calico, Bengal, Persian, Sphinx, or alley, you love them all. 

This classic unisex jersey short sleeve tee fits like a well-loved favorite. Soft cotton and quality print make users fall in love with it over and over again. These t-shirts have ribbed knit collars to bolster shaping. The shoulders have taping for a better fit over time. Dual side seams hold the garment's shape for longer.

My opinion on the Ailurophile - cat lover T-shirt

What can I say? Of course, I know what to say about it. This is going to be one of my favorites. The cat drawing is super cute, and I love to show off that I'm a cat lover. The fabric is very light, which makes it perfect for a warmer day. 😊

It's a unisex T shirt, so if you have the same size as your hubby, you can swap them. Nah, perhaps not. Keep it all to yourself. It's yours and yours alone. 😈

Maybe one slight negative. They made it very hard for me to choose because they have so many pretty colors, but I thought the cat stood out the most in this black graphic T shirt. 😉

Another advantage of this black and white T shirt is that you can combine it with almost any garment. Somewhat more casual as in my first picture or you could wear it for work as in my second outfit. 😃

They have a lot of other cute graphic T shirts in their shop

Red Dahlia T-shirt


Bibliophile - book lover T-shirt


Mycophile - mushroom lover T-shirt

Aren't they all super cute? They have a lot more choices. You will absolutely find something you love. In case you really can't find what you are looking for, they are open to new ideas for designs. Their intent is to make beautiful products for people who love whatever they love. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview with Fashion Stylist Laurie Brucker Amerikaner

Hi There..... Would you like some more advice on women's fashion? Are you ready for the next fashion stylist interview?

I can only hope that you are, because it seems like ages ago since I posted that first fashion stylist blog interview. The reviews are my priority, because I don't think it would be fair to keep shops waiting that sent me items. 😊

I don't charge any costs for publishing interviews. Yes, I am slightly crazy, but there is no need to worry. It doesn't hurt a bit. 😕

There have been some hiccups, though, because of a change in shipping policies for items coming from outside of Europe. As you can guess, I live on the inside of Europe. That reminds me of a stupid riddle from ages ago. 😍

Do you know on which side of his castle King Louis the 14th slept? The answer is... on the inside. Stupid, right? 😏

So, because of those new rules, you now have to pay extra import taxes for items according to the value and weight of the package. New rules are the best, aren't they? 😜

Certainly not, of course, but there isn't much I can do about it but warn everybody in advance. It was too late for some, but no use crying over spilled milk. The only thing you can do is clean up the mess. 🙈

Are you getting impatient? Ok, I won't beat around the bush any longer. The fashion stylist who is my star for today is Laurie Brucker Amerikaner. She is the Certified Image Consultant, empowerment stylist, author & CEO of LaurieBstyle. 😊


How old are you?

41. Eeps! Sounds old, but most definitely doesn’t feel old.  

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I am a personal stylist for real women, with real bodies and real budgets.

What made you decide to become a Stylist?

After working for 7 years in New York City as a fashion designer, I knew I had a bigger calling.  While I worked full time, I began night classes at FIT studying Image Consulting. 

What I loved about the program is that we learned the science of dress! And this really connected the dots for me so much. I loved fashion, but I love helping people more and with this new knowledge I could use the science of style to support people to feel inspired, more confident and empowered in their lives and careers.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is expression! What I love about clothing and style is that it is up to the individual to create their own unique message through their outfits. Whatever your fashion is, you can own that expression as you! 
Fashion gives us all an opportunity to share with the world what makes us special, different, and unique! No matter the fashion, no matter the style - when we get to self-express our true selves, we shine.


What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I have loved each success marker in my career, from working at Glamour Magazine fresh out of college, to making my way up to the top of the fashion industry as a senior designer in just 7 years, to starting my business on my own 12 years ago and still going strong today. 
Two moments really stand out in my mind. The first is when I met Stacy London and was not only trained and certified by her as a personal stylist but also was handpicked to join her army of stylists across the country. Working with her directly, and to even tour with her was such an achievement for me at the beginning of my career. 
The second, is having released my first book, You are the Style! (www.youarethestylebook.com). It has been a lifelong dream of mine to write a book and I’ve tried and missed the mark multiple times before. This time was different, and I wrote the book of my dreams! It’s out now and I couldn’t be more proud of it!

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

The name of the brand isn’t always as important to me as how the garment fits and how it feels. Now of course I love a gorgeous designer piece and owning and wearing those pieces always feels so special. But what makes a piece extraordinary is how you express yourself in it! So regardless of brand, if you are rocking it - then I’m here for it!

Describe your personal style of clothing?

My personal style is eclectic, creative and definitely chameleon like! I love color, print mixing and just dressing happy.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My signature look has changed over the years! My personal style has been my love story for myself and all the expressions of me.  


In what way do you influence other people’s clothing style?

What I inspire and teach in my work is for women to wear clothes that make them feel confident, whatever that may be. If it’s jeans and tee’s, then great! Let’s make sure it fits your frame appropriately and style you to feel good! 
If it’s sequins and glam, let’s flatter your beauty body and style you to shine every day! 
As a public figure, I strive to inspire women to dress happy. To wear clothes that make them glow from the inside out. To live and breathe their own brand or style.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Fashion trends are always a subtle (or not so subtle) response to what is happening in the world. And I am loving how fashion has been translated out of these changing times.  The bold color combinations, the exuberance of sequins and glam, the infusion of draped dressing and comfort wear as everyday style.  For me the trends of right now are just a pre-cursor to what lies ahead.  All out fashion expression for all!  Life is too short to wear boring clothes. 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

We’ve been seeing a resurgence of early 2000s fashions and having already lived through that time area, wearing its fashion to the fullest extent, I can with confidence say - this was my least favorite fashion era! 


What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Having style is so much more than fashion, brands and clothes. Style is about you and how you shine. So when styling yourself, it’s important to ask, am I wearing this for me? Does this outfit make me feel like badass? Does this work for me and my current frame? Most importantly, when I pass by a mirror to look twice and say - who is that fabulous woman? Now any outfit like that which can evoke those powerfully positive and confidence buying feelings is what we all should strive to wear every day.

Who is your style icon and why?

I am a forever fan of Lady Gaga. What I love about her and her style is that she is so unapologetic about who she chooses to be each day. Every style transformation is shocking, and she owns each exuberant choice. We all should live and style with that credo. Be you, unapologetically. Style you, fearlessly. Live with love and acceptance for who you are, what you are, where you are.  

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

I am so proud of my new book You are the Style! An Every Girl’s Guide to Getting Dressed Building Confidence and Shining from the Inside Out. I wrote this book to re-write the negative self-talk script that so many women do and inspire a new way of thinking, living, and being. All in style. 

As I mentioned, style is so much more than fashion. When we release ourselves of the expectations, the rules, the do’s and don’ts, we can free ourselves to be and style however makes us the most happy! If we all would live, feeling happier every day, imagine how that could change the world. It’s all possible!
