Happy Spring! Here in Asheville, the winter hues are fading, and the bright, vibrant spring colors are starting to grace us with their presence.

New Year, MORE You – What to Do When Style Goals Fade
I came across a meme that’s stuck with me. It said: “New Year, New You”—but crossed out “New You” and replaced it with “More You!” YES PLEASE.

Stop Lurking in Their Window
At least once a week people tell me their views and opinions on other people’s style choices. Sometimes they are complementary and sometimes they’re critical. But no matter the angle, there’s always a subtle (or not-so-subtle) element of comparison. Could I wear that? Would I wear that? Am I going online to buy that outfit right … Read More

My business is designed to help you discover the wardrobe of your dreams. This is not a “what to wear,” or “what not to wear,” kind of experience. In fact, I think it’s damn near RUDE to tell someone what they ought to be wearing based on their: Size Looks Gender Career Relationships In working … Read More
Don’t Let Your Brain Get in the Way of Your Style
Have you ever opened up a fashion magazine and looked at the upcoming trends and thought, “What the what is going on here?” Sometimes it seems like there is no rhyme or reason to fashion. It can be based on a whimsy of a popular designer or a painting from the 18th century. The point … Read More
