Timeless Fashion Essentials
Timeless Fashion Essentials The iconic and classy actress Audrey Hepburn used to say, “the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” It is true that healthy and glowing physique is key to feeling and looking great –…

Fashion :: Stylish Reading Glasses by ICU Eyewear
When it was time to go see my optometrist this past year I was dreading the appointment for fear that he was going to tell me it was time to get some reading glasses. Yes, it is that time in my life where reading glasses just might be a necessicity. I found that I have to squint sometimes to read the label on food items, so I knew it was time. When I spoke to the doctor about postponing getting reading glasses, he mentioned that since I am on the computer so much for work, I really should give my eyes a break and use them for some of the time while during my…

Instagram of the Week :: Enjoying Beauty in the Simple Things
One of my favorite hobbies before I had my daughter, would be to scour local estate sales looking for abstract art, pottery, and unusual artifacts. And I have to say I have a pretty good eye for finding things that everyone else passed over. But really it comes down to choosing things I really love and enjoy looking at. I am not thinking about whether I found the piece of artwork worth a million dollars like what you see on those antique shows (though that would be nice), but finding pieces I truly appreciate. There was this cool looking abstract black and white rather large painting that reminded me of a Jackson Pollock painting (no such luck) but…

Emergency Fashion Fixes at the Office
Emergency Fashion Fixes at the Office Fashion emergencies happen all the time. Avoiding them entirely isn’t possible, but dealing with them is. It just requires a little know-how and some basic office supplies. Obviously, using actual fashion tools would be better, but these can help you out in a pinch so you look your best for that presentation. Tears and Rips Once your clothing starts tearing, you need to stop that tear before it gets any worse. Otherwise, that little hole could quickly turn into a long run. Whether that tear is in your favorite business suit or a dress from a designer dress rental, you need to…

Fashion :: Maxi Dresses for Summer
Summer is in full swing and temperatures are rising all across the country. One of the easiest things to throw on is a maxi dress as they are the essence of comfort and style. This time of year is also a great time to shop for summer items as most retailers are having sales to clear out for fall. I often would scratch my head about this while working in the fashion industry all those years. Who can think about a sweater right now? Not me, but that is the way it works. Never the less, I am happy about a sale on summer clothes since we will be wearing…

Inspirational Mom :: Camilla Olson
There are certain clothing items that I really can’t have enough of (coats being the main item – though I live in sunny California) and I refrain only due to my budget. Scarves are one of those items I would spend too much on if I could. You can have the most simple outfit on but if you throw on a nice scarf around your neck – it just adds the finishing touches! While living abroad in Japan, I came across some beautiful scarves as the Japanese have a real knack for beautiful textiles as you probably know. Recently though, I was given one of the most beautiful scarves’ I have seen in a long…
