The Jacket: A Girl’s Best Friend
When I look at my mom’s high school graduation photo, I see someone totally different than the lady who raised me. This girl is beautiful, dressed smartly with dark, chestnut brown hair. The mom I knew was slightly chubby, tan with curly, grey hair. She certainly wasn’t concerned with style, skin care or her clothes! […]
Help! I always buy the wrong makeup…
If you are like most women, a trip to the cosmetics counter can be daunting–yes even for me. Most sales associates recommend far more products than we need, but they sound so convincing…and if they work, what’s wrong with that? Anyway, I have learned that ….no. 1, stores want to sell.

Colts Wear: Go Team!

Shoes that complement your legs…
Have you ever considered the shoes you pick are just as important as the clothing you wear–they either complement your shape or they don’t.

Holiday Dazzle
I’d be remiss if I didn’t visit the idea of what to wear to holiday parties and festivities. Of course, to the office holiday party, my rule is always … no cleavage, ladies, and no mini’s either.
