I’m elated with the accessories trends from Neiman Marcus this year. They are playful yet sophisticated with references from pop culture that are easy to integrate into your office attire or casual weekend wear. Gucci takes a front seat for me this season (which I’ve never said before!) because of their bold details. Even if […]

Airplane Etiquette 2017 – How To Fly Friendlier Skies
Is it just me or has airplane etiquette deteriorated? My husband and I travel frequently to other cities for work, play, and to visit family a couple of times a month. While we don’t travel for a living, we feel for those who do after seeing patterns of inconsiderate and sometimes gross behavior on flights. […]
2017 Summer Fashion Trends: Black & White Done Right
Summer Fashion color trends are tough for me. I have olive skin, dark brown hair, and hazel eyes.

Style Tips For Powerful Personal Branding
A powerful personal brand requires more than just dressing the part. These style tips pertain to the visual message you present to the world. I call it your Signature Style.

Fanny Pack Alternative: Thank God For HipsSister
A flattering and comfortable fanny pack alternative? HipsSister may just be the best running apparel accessory I’ve purchased in years. Time to throw out the scratchy wristbands/armbands (and their tan lines).

Ever thought about breaking fashion rules? Many women, especially as we age, are tired of hearing the plethora of Dos and Don’ts of fashion. That’s why I create style “guides” instead of style “rules” for my clients. The word NEVER is avoided, and I even shy away from the word “should” these days. Below is my […]
How To Wear Print Stockings : Style Tips for Modern Over-40 Women
In the 1990s, I swore I swore off stockings as a result of my employer’s dress code that required women to wear stockings, pantyhose, tights, etc. if wearing a skirt. When it’s 90 degrees, 80% humidity, and you walk 4 blocks from the Metro, this conservative accessory became a torture device. And we didn’t have cool print stockings back […]
Best Holiday Gift Ideas For Women
I can’t believe the 2nd Annual SheSpark Holiday Gift Guide, featuring the best holiday gift ideas for women over 40, is LIVE. The 2015 guide was the very first issue of SheSpark that was met with such positive feedback that Audrey Stefanik and I decided to start a monthly digital magazine. The birth of SheSpark! READ IT […]
Office Holiday Party LBD: Day To Night Style Tips
How do you transform your workplace LBD (little black dress) to your office holiday party LBD? Many of us feel like we’ve recycled style tips too many times and aren’t in the market to buy a cocktail dress that collects dust in the closet. We’ve also witnessed the backlash of trying “hot” editorial trends that come off as too risqué […]
