There is nothing I love more than taking a vision from a client and making it into a reality. My client who lives in the upper west side of Manhattan, loves her books and dreamed of a wall full of books. She previously had ordered book shelves but I was able to convince her that because of the height of her ceilings and amount of books she needed to cover the walls with a shelf system from the Elfa design at the Container Store.…
I was invited to speak to a class studying Business of Fashion Styling at the Fashion Institute of Technology to share my business and career advice to students who were stepping into careers in fashion.

It can be done because I did it. I packed for a client traveling around the world in three suitcases. I surprised myself but with a bit of planning and organization you may have room in your suitcase for souvenirs.
This is how I did it:
Made sure she had the right size suitcases. Here are some suitcase options
Researched the countries she was traveling to gage the temperature
Removed all her favorite items from her closet and laid them on her couch and bed
Created looks/outfits based on her favorite pieces
Packed basic pants/leggings/bottoms in black (She’s a New Yorker, we can’t help the black in the wardrobe)
Tank tops, blazers, and sweaters which are wrinkle resistant (lay shirts on top of each other and roll them.…
While dining out with friends on Tuesday evening, I spotted an unusual amount of tall, broad, massive amounts of handsome men roaming around the restaurant.

If you’re a sister, daughter, brother, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew once removed blah blah. IF YOU’re a human being and you’re alive, you should watch this movie.…

There’s a hair epidemic and you’re probably affected and don’t even know it. So many of us are running around with split ends, the wrong hair color (especially all you over processed blondes) and the wrong style. Why? Oh Why? If you’re still sporting the Jennifer Anniston cut from the 90’s or even better the “feathered birds nest” look (you know who you are) then PLEASE CALL ME I will steer you in the right direction.…
I spoke at the Safe to Be Seen event Sunday, August 24, 2014 curated by my colleague and friend Natalie Berthhold who holds family constellations and is a certified Reiki master. I styled a beautifully diverse group of women and showed them how to own their gifts and walk down the runway. The ladies were so confident and cool that it was an honor and joy working with them and teaching them what look best defines their figure.…
