Be the "Next Big Stylist!"

OK, so I never enter contests. I never win anything and I TOTALLY never expect to. But this was a contest that I actually wanted to enter because it was fun! Plus I do this kind of thing everyday anyway. Meaning I create looks for people EVERY day. This was a contest on a website called Polyvore where you can create sets of different looks for clients, magazines, etc. And you can use items that you find on just about any website. However, if you enter this contest you could only use items from Piperlime. And if you win you might just get to be the "Next Big Stylist" and be on Bravo with Rachel Zoe!!!! Now that would be awesome:-) There were 3 different scenarios. #1 was that your client is going to attend her friends wedding and doesn't want to outshine the bride. #2 was that your client is attending her 10 year class reunion and she wants to look great. #3 is that she is a high powered executive and she is meeting her boss today, but she also has a date tonight with a new guy. Here are my creations:


This lovely outfit will work for my client no matter what time of day the wedding is. She looks simply charming. She would never outshine the bride in this outfit, but she may get the attention of the grooms best man;-)

This outfit tells her fellow classmates that she doesn't have to try hard to look good. She just threw on the little black jersey dress that she had hanging in her closet and her red accessories for that extra POP. She made sure that she wore her cross body bag because she would be dancing with the hottest guy in the class ALL NIGHT LONG!

This ensemble totally takes my very successful client from day to night. This leopard print dress is so classic especially when worn with the one button blazer. When she meets the vice president of her firm she is sure to come across as being the confident woman she wants to portray. Keeping her date this evening in mind, she carries the clutch inside of her day bag. And once she has a couple of sips her martini the conservative jacket may just have to go!

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
