Just because someone knows how to put themselves together, doesn’t mean they will give you fashion advice that will work for you.  You wouldn’t let your friend cut your hair because he/she has a nice hairstyle.  You wouldn’t take medical advice from a seemingly healthy friend.  Why would you take style advice from an amatuer?  […]

The Devil wears Prada…obviously! Just kidding. I’m an angel (Don’t you see my halo?) but, I’m sure Miranda Priestly would approve of these Prada cat eye sunglasses.  Summer is here and if you’re still looking for the perfect pair of sunnies, I think these retro chic Pradas are worth the investment.  They are classic with the […]

The concept of “natural fakeness” is oxymorinic but life is full of contradictions.  Drama is good when wearing false lashes for a special event, a fashion runway or a performance.  But for everyday use, false lashes should look more natural.  Opt for individual lashes and have them installed by a certified lash specialist.  Thin, natural […]

I have one of the most amazing customers a stylist could ask for. Alison Smith or “The Legislative Diva”, as I affectionately call her, trusts my professional opinion and is always game to try something new. Most importantly, she is comfortable in her own skin. She is gorgeous and has a radiant smile. I worked […]

Every well-dressed man knows looking sharp doesn’t come cheap.   A good suit can run anywhere from $700 to well over $1,000.  With those price points, preservation is key.  Extend the life of your suit by getting it pressed and steamed in lieu of dry cleaning.  If there are no stains and no odor, there is no need to dry clean.  Germaphobes, get […]

When getting professional head shots, the general rule is, less is more.  The purpose of a headshot is to highlight YOU, so keep your look clean and simple.  Avoid busy patterns, statement jewelry, unnatural make up looks.  All of these things will detract from the central focus…YOU.  Avoid fashion choices that are too trendy to […]

Even with the dunks craze, some “girly girls” still don’t do sneakers.  This look is a casual solution for such women.  I put a Helmut Lang sweater (w/ sheer cut outs) with T by Alexander Wang sweat pants, Marc By Marc Jacobs color blocked wedges and a Milly color blocked satchel.  I love pairing sweats […]

LSAW’s April Watts recently went to the Alicia Keys concert at Verizon Center in Washington, DC and this is what she wore: Top Shop Romper with embelished peter pan collar, Black cut out tights, Vera Wang ankle boots, distressed leather cropped jacket, and white Camille Gabriele “primrose” handbag.

These are my favorite picks from Tory Burch’s Spring 2013 Collection

As a personal stylist I have witnessed numerous women walk into fitting rooms, try on clothing, and walk away feeling like they need to change themselves. It’s time women realize what men have known for ages: It’s not you that needs to be altered, it’s the clothes. There are no universal cuts or sizes, so […]

Bermuda shorts are a hot trend for Spring/Summer 2013.  You will find them in an assortment of colors, prints and materials; from business suits to casual separates.  This season, “the look du jour” is pairing Bermuda shorts with heels or wedges that strap around the ankle or a high gladiator sandal. Caveat:  This look works […]
