red shoes

I am such a fan of these shoes. Stacked heel, peep-toe, RED! Wear with a tapered jean, basic T, and this spectacular and locally made necklace from our favorite Denver boutique, Goldyn.  Buy these babies from neighborhood shop Two Sole Sisters for $98. With the money you’re saving, be sure to add the finishing touch: their new (and… [Cont.]

The Well-Kept Closet

hangers

Great style requires having the appropriate tools; the closet being the largest, it should be kept clean and organized, resembling the presentation at a highly-edited boutique. The goal is to shop your closet and, to that end, uniform hangers are key.  In an effort to keep costs down, I often recommended an inexpensive option, one… [Cont.]

A Matter Of Perspective

Some matters on style are hardly serious (my post yesterday, for instance); and although it’s all important to me, I recognize that a manifesto on belts is not going to change lives. My work with clients is the same. They’ll humor me when I unleash a tirade against capri pants, all the while recognizing that… [Cont.]

Home Humor

Pottery Barn’s Summer sneak peak is available online, and I am obsessed with this Palm (Beach or Springs) sheet set. Those of you familiar with my interior design philosophy know the importance of humor; guest rooms (bath and bed) are the ideal place to make these statements, as they’re separate from the main living quarters and… [Cont.]

What’s Your Style?

A simple question often elicits a nuanced and complicated answer. Determining your individual, personal style is, often, a deceptively difficult task as most people truly do not know. And why would they? If my clients gave as much thought and analysis to matters of design and aesthetics, they would probably be working for me, not the other… [Cont.]

heat wave

I’ve never believed in keeping a good thing all to myself.. I can’t take credit for finding this gem. My esteemed colleague in style, Jessica Helson of Chelsea, gifted me this lipstick after reading that it, quite miraculously, looks amazing on everyone. And if you’ve been paying attention to the Spring fashion ads, you’ll recognize… [Cont.]

A Different Scarf For Spring

leopard scarf

A staple piece for every woman’s closet, the leopard scarf becomes increasingly important as we near Spring. Its unusual pairing with navy, hot pink, bright orange and the other dynamic colors of the upcoming season is unpredictable and, in short, good style.

The Right Rug

rug

It’s hard to get excited about rugs. As a child, I happily accompanied my mother on shopping trips, but when it came to rug shopping, I was dragged.  For one thing, the sheer volume of options feels very overwhelming. For another, as something that lays on your floor and gets dirty, rugs are expensive! These factors… [Cont.]

Mixing Prints

Leave it to J.Crew to get it exactly right… I’ve spoken about mixing prints before, specifically that stripes are a great neutral print to pair with something bolder. From the newest catalogue, J.Crew demonstrates how to take that one step further: with a third print. The key aspect to pulling off this look? Simplicity. Each… [Cont.]
