Understanding The Color Red: A Shade for Every Season and Every Person

London’s Style: There’s a Little in All of Us

Visit London, as I just did, become immersed in its rich history, and you will see how true this is. Style doesn’t occur organically in London. Like everything in this great city, how style was developed here, and how it has progressed, is part of an orderly plan. This may not make sense at first. But keep reading, and it will all make perfect sense.
When Your Image and Style Are Frozen It’s Time to Change
When was the last time you looked at the clothing in your closet and said, “these are some awesome clothes?!” It’s a terrible feeling to open your closet door day after day to a wardrobe to look at every morning that you feel disconnected from. Time and again, clients tell me just how often they feel frozen when looking at their clothes to dress in the morning, to go out at night, as well as for special occasions. This arresting feeling is not a promising way to begin any day of work, of leisure, or an exciting night out.

A Woman’s Closet: Often A Journey To Finding A New Identity
When I started my image consulting practice, I catered specifically to men because of my extensive menswear background and my perceived comfort zone. But a few years ago, an especially determined woman contacted me, explaining that what she read on my website spoke directly to her. She practically insisted we find a way to work together. It pleases me to make a difference in others’ lives. So thanks to her, I now work with many fabulous women.
How to Dress Great While Breaking A Few Style Rules
We all know that the best thing about rules is that they are meant to be broken. They can even be stretched and modified. One of my key objectives when consulting clients is laying out parameters that help them understand, visualize, shop, and dress in accordance with their personal style.
