During a job interview for a luxury department store, I once said, “I’d be perfectly happy if I could walk down the street buck naked with a handbag and a mean pair of shoes.” I couldn’t believe that came out of my mouth. The interviewer couldn’t either but, but I got the job! Ha! It’s […]
When it comes to style trends, Leopard is king of the jungle. But if you’re anything like me, sometimes you enjoy setting yourself apart from the rest. As much as I love leopard, I’m tired of seeing it. So, I picked up these amazing python Palazzo pants from Closet Envy Boutique. Love them! I also […]
What you like isn’t necessarily what you should wear. Using myself as an example, I have an affinity to texture and embellishments on my clothing. However, I am busty and curvy. While the Closet Envy Boutique Petal Dolman top on the left would be my style preference, I would actually purchase the Closet Envy Boutique Robin […]
Sometimes less is more. Not today! I love accessories and decided to spice it up with some of my favs. Accessories can breathe life into an ordinary outfit. Mix pricey and inexpensive pieces for a quality look. (Steve Madden sunnies, Venus Visuals necklace, stacked bangles from Nordstrom and Forever 21, Frye handbag, Hobo clutch wallet, and my […]
This is a repost from @nordstrompentagoncity. I am wearing a Rachel Roy peplum top and white pencil slacks with a designer Marc Jacobs “Wellington” handbag. I envision this outfit for the female entrepreneur or executive with edge. The woman that would wear this would possibly work in marketing/advertising, own a hair salon, or run her own […]
Annie Hall, the nuerotic character from Woody Allen’s 1977 Oscar Award Winning Film of the same name, was the inspiration for this outfit. The look is quirky, cute and, most importantly, comfortable. It was perfect for a Saturday in the city. Check out the real Annie Hall in the photo gallery below. I love Diane Keaton! (Hat: […]
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 […]
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 […]
