The Art of the In-Between: Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garcons at The Costume Institute

What would your life look like if you saw The Art of the In-Between in your every day life? I've been pondering this idea as a metaphor since I saw a sneak peek of the Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garçons exhibition at The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier today. The Art of the In-Between is the exhibition name which examines the "in-betweenness' of Kawakubo's collections... meditations of the endless possibilities for creation and re-creation in the disruptive way that expands the norm of "regular" fashion.| The preview was particularly quiet and reflective, as if each guest was pondering the meticulous beauty of inspiration as well as their own personal reflection on how they see art in

Eyeglass Dont’s: What eyeglasses to wear if you want to not look old [Quick Tips Video]

Eyeglass Don'ts
When it comes to wearing glasses, I'm sure you want to wear eyeglasses that make you look younger or at least glasses that don't make you look old. So, what's with the rimless glasses and farty, dated frames? Here's the thing, the financial expense of a good pair of prescription eyeglasses is actually in the prescription itself and not the frame. So by not modernizing your frame and skimping on style, you are creating an impression of not being particularly up-to-date or relevant in your abilities. By ignoring what your glasses say about you, you are actually making a bolder statement that you really don't care much about detail... not exactly the impression you want to make in your business.

Video tips to be real, relevant, and stay on brand... In this video, you will learn if being too much of your authentic self is holding you back on video? So much of our lives is captured on camera these days. As a small business owner, entrepreneur or free-lancer, we tend to broadcast ourselves on a daily basis between Facebook Live, Skype, Youtube, Instagram, etc. Lately, I’ve been getting asked so much about how “authenticity” comes into the picture as we project ourselves online as the face of our business. The answer depends on a few factors. You have to consider the tone of the video. Is it slice of life or business oriented? If it’s slice of life, it’s okay to

Oscar Best Dressed 2017- Make Celebrity Style Work In Your Wardrobe!

Last night's Oscar Best Dressed stunners certainly played by the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stunning) principle of memorable celebrity style. Sure there were plenty of heavily embellished gowns, beading, draping and opponent fabrications, I'd bet that each of the more ornate gowns were a testament to incredible craftsmanship. But what happens when the dress is  fussy, the hair is fussy, makeup is heavy, the wearer gets lost in all the extras and becomes forgettable, particularly on TV where the more graphic the appearance, the better it stands out. Simple and Clean Lines Rule... Then you have the visual stunners that you can't forget the next morning- Viola Davis in striking red, Halle Berry and that hair, Charlize Theron in a

Quick Tip Video: Whoops, the “Band-Aid” effect will destroy your business!

Today's Quick Tip Video: It is critical stop trying to “Band-Aid” little things together and to start looking at the whole picture for a growth mindset to achieve life, style, and business success. Sure, fixing up the things piece by piece is fine, but it won’t bring you success in the long run. You might be flipping through the fashion magazines looking for the freshest ideas for your hairdo, shoes, dresses, but if you don’t look at a whole picture and get only pieces, you may end up looking funny. The same implies to the business world. It’s great that you know how to craft a perfect email, but if you lack other skills or have ones that don’t always
