Recently, I went to dinner with a friend whom I hadn’t seen since I lived in Boston twelve years ago. In honor of the quasi-reunion, I found myself reaching for a skirt that I was considering giving away. A long sweeping white dramatic and heavy skirt from Calypso – it grazes the ground even with […]
When a customer calls a reputable dog breeder and the first question out of their mouth is, “How much are your dogs?” they will most likely refuse to sell that person the dog. Why? Because they want to place their dogs in the best homes possible – not with a person who wants a ”deal” […]
Oftentimes, I have a client who doesn’t want to wear a certain type of clothing because he or she wants to hide something – sagging arms, belly pooch, varicose veins, stretch marks, etc. I’m happy to facilitate clients being comfortable and working around their issues, but my response is always the same: “party where you’re […]
On twitter: “@fuggirls This year’s Met Gala is totally making up for the lackluster Oscars this year! ” But I saw more fashion, “oh no she didn’ts” than winners, which is odd because we have more stylists and designers than ever!

I’ve spent years weaning myself and my closet off of the ever-‘suitable-kinda-nyc-warrior-wardrobe staple’. There is a color science which has taught me and others well. I see now […]
I’m a swimmer but I can’t stand the idea of wearing a speedo-just too butch for me. With spring upon us and my recent ‘water class experience’ with other people’s energetic Grandmas in Hobe Sound I realize it’s time to start getting ready for sunnier weather. I’m always on the look out for cute suits […]
Right before I left for a week in Florida, I had a mini fashion emergency. ME have a crisis in my closet?! But, I’ve got everything under control because I’m a fashion stylist right? Well I’m human too and was suffering from what I see all the time: style holes in my closet. I had […]
I will often watch a film just for the visual fashion show. I’ve put together a list of my favorites. Some you may want to watch with the audio off. Modern: Chloe Priceless Intolerable Cruelty Party Girl Confessions of a Shopaholic Teknolust Gossip Girl (tv) Lipstick Jungle (tv) Sex and the City (tv) Ugly Betty […]
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
