Made some progress on my closet after hearing from the DREAM CLOSET PROJECT architects Guido Tenaglia and Hsiang Lin that more space was needed. I got rid of a black skirt that I never wear, 2 pairs of shoes-one were a hybrid water shoe that never got worn, and a pink dress which was worn […]
Isn’t being a fashion stylist all about having fabulous stuff? I don’t think so. Personally I am yearning for less stuff and more space. I have found so many times when I freed myself of unused items I gained something big later. That slight shift in the universe makes room for better bright bigger things […]
Working on your image makes you remember what’s important to you. As I work on the content for my new site I realize that I have worked to follow these simple mantras/rules/guidelines. With no one governing me as a freeelancer I have a fellow stylist to thank for the catalyst that got me thinking about […]
So my intentions were so good for this years sojourn which starts on the island of Sifnos and ends in Maine and is questionable in the middle (more about my open ended plans later). My previous post ‘1 month 1 suitcase’ was a brilliant idea. I totally edited my clothing accessories, shoes, and jewelry down. […]
This post is part of the DREAM CLOSET PROJECT in conjunction with EZarchitecture. Due to the sudden need to pare down in preparation for the closet overhaul (courtesy of EZarchitecture) I decided to perform a ‘deep six’ on my closet. I figured it would be easier to tackle bit by bit so I started with […]
Last summer I traveled to Greece with one suitcase. I thought I was being streamlined but while I was there I realized that in the future I could bring even less with me which might leave room for fun purchases abroad. I found that having too much stuff hindered my mobility and I often couldn’t […]

We plan on showing what EZarchitecture can do to improve my closet and my progress and journey along […]
7.17.10 Join us on my Gatsby-esque journey back in time at the Hot Jazz event. Michael Arenella and the Dreamland Orchestra played ambling deco tunes. The vintage fashion was unsurpassed. Parasols, hats, feathers, flapper dresses, and more…
If you missed the 1950’s Prom and are into the current twist on the pinup vintage look(via east village) I suggest the DVD called How to be a Pinup Model. The high quality video is produced by the same talented people at World Dance New York. I wish I had watched this before going to […]
So apparently I am known to some (well my fantastic social media teacher Melea Seward) as a masquerade goddess. I have been to 2 masquerades in my life-the first one being Ivan Wilzig’s half naked bikini masquerade in the Hamptons with Ivana Trump-(years ago and so many stories from my ProveReal.com over 10 years ago […]
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
