On To Something

This Is How All Of My Clients Are Treated :: Like Royalty
On Thursday Night at MOMOseattle – We Did “A Girl’s Night Out Party” and The Theme Was “Transitional Dressing.” I had The Opportunity To Talk In-front of 25 Ladies Instead of My One-On-One Consultations That I Normally Do. I Have Never Thought Of Myself As A Public Speaker, I Was The Girl Who Could Not Even Give A Book Report In High School. I Took My Horse By The Reigns, Touched On 4 Key Elements Of Transitional Dressing & Wrapped It Up With A Simple New Way To Tie A Scarf For Summer. Afterwards, I Was Told By Many Ladies That What I Had To Say Was Informative & That I Commanded Attention. So, Putting To The Test- “That Which We Fear Is Exactly What We Need To Do,” Worked In My Favor When All Was Said & Done. I Walked Away With A Sense Of Accomplishment Knowing That I Had Helped The Fashion Weary. I May Be On To Something …..Some Workshops Down The Road Perhaps? STAY TUNED & If You Are In Need Of Assistance Right Now…Well, You Know Where To Find Me.

After The Hire Of My Services This Will Never Happen Again
I hear time & time again from my clients that they purchase things On Impulse…”It was on sale,” is the number one culprit to buying something that they really do not need or absolutely love. You get it home & “it’s OK,” you don’t love it but it will do, then a few months down the road you have completely forgotten about it. This purchase becomes a waste of your time & valuable money. Part of my Personal Shopping Platform is paying attention to an individuals buying habits and teaching them how to shop more consciously. You owe it to yourself, your piggy bank, the earth, your local economy & community, to shop wisely. One promise I can make when you work alongside me, is that you will absolutely love Everything in your closet over time and Want To Wear It Over & Over Again , Not Forget About It!

A Lovely Place To Lay Your Head & Drift Off Smelling Salty Sea Air

And It All Comes Wrapped In This Beautiful, Petite, Quaint, Little Package….By The Sea
This little seaside cottage stopped me dead in my little creative tracks. I found from experience in this life, that more times than not- “Less Is Always More!” Living becomes a less complicated experience, it is simplified. One gains a sense of freedom not being chained down or consumed by things. Clear the space & give yourself some extra breathing room and if you need some assistance doing just that…well, you know where to find me! Go smell the salty sea air & relax a little, before the warm days of summer are gone!

I have boxes full of tear sheets from magazines dating back to the 80′s, sometimes I grow tired of carting this “stuff” around with me when I move from time to time BUT I can never seem to part with this “chunk” of my life. The flame for fashion was part of my D.N.A but the spark really got ignited when I moved to New York City. These tear sheets chronical a certain part of history, mine as well as cultural. This image has been on my wall of inspiration for several years now and on any given day I can catch glimpse of it & it nourishes my creative soul. The beauty of art and all its magic & glory, BRING IT ON!

COLOR THEORY 101
Perhaps it is the endless days of Summer filled with SUNSHINE, I felt compelled to pay homage to the color YELLOW! This color evokes joy, happiness and a certain vibrancy to one’s day! Bright shades have been known to stimulate mental activity & can add vitality to a person’s spirit. Softer shades of butter yellow & also deep curry golds can add relaxation & a sense of peace to one’s soul or to a space & its surroundings. Wander about & find those shades of yellow in fashion, architecture, nature & food that spark your creativity and then act accordingly.

Keep It Simple, Keep It Good

Modern, Industrial Design Elements In This Kitchen / Dining Area Are Pleasing To The Eye :: Especially The Lights

Open Loft Space Appeal

An Uncluttered Work Area Creates A Harmonious, Spacious Place To Go & Work

Color Placement Can Add Flair To An Otherwise Undefined Space
In the culinary world there is a saying- “You taste the food first with your eyes.” So, in interior design one might say- “The taste of the decorator is first felt with the eyes.” I am a firm believer that walking into any environment creates a certain feeling, it could be either good or bad depending on the decor. How a space takes shape & ends up ultimately feeling, depends greatly on the attention to detail & simple is always better. Keep It Simple, Keep It Good is my motto! It allows certain key design elements to hold their own space. No need to over do it, it is always best to have a little breathing room!

Clean, Simple With Subtle Detail

Picture Clusters Are A Creative Way To Show Off Your Family Photo’s Or Art Work :: It’s Not As Easy As It Looks, Call In A Professional
