STYLE YOUR SUCCESS, LIVE YOUR DREAM...


The FocusOnStyle Blog
Helping You + Your Business Get Out There!

Make it your business to live your dream…

 

I inadvertently started my blog during my infant son’s nap time back in 1999… before the term ‘blog’ was even popular.

Through it all, I believe…

Your style is your fingerprint in all that you do… it’s how you see the world + how the world perceives you.

 

The blog archives go back to the beginning and are updated regularly.  You’ll find 1,000’s of posts about modern business, branding, positioning, marketing, photos, fashion, style, beauty, lifestyle… and most importantly, how to do anything authentically. Enjoy!

Zoe Saldana ‘s Lanvin dress in a burst of color is our newest love

Explosion of color with all the right details make for super chic style We've really been taking note of Zoe Saldana's style since she went the way of true fashion rather than predicable red carpet route with her Givenchy Haute Couture lilac gown at this year's Oscars. Alber Elbaz has always been a name on our short list of lifetime personal favorites for his feminine and sophisticated take on clothing that women actually want to wear because of the flattering grace of his designs. As the Creative Director of Lanvin, we see nothing but possibilities that we would love to have fill our closets. LANVIN - Off-the-shoulder dress at farfetch There's been a bit of obsessing around here since we

The Wackiest Bikini has a bottle opener built in

Bottle Betty bikini with attached bottle opener My craziest email of the week, so far... I get some pretty wacky emails from publicists and most end up in the proverbial "round file," but this one is different. Bottle Betty is a new line of patent pending swimwear with an attached bottle opener. It's crazy, I know. One would expect that a bikini with an attached bottle opener to be tacky looking. Bottle Betty swimsuits appear stylish, at least from their web site photos. But, it brings me to my original, head-scratching question, "Why?" This really must be a guy thing. All I can say is that if you are too lazy to walk to the nearest poolside bottle opener and

We Heart Sarah Jessica Parker’s Pendant Necklace

Size does matter when it comes to SJP's jewelry choice! Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out last night for her Bravo's "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" reality TV show and we think her choice of jewelry was a work of art! While SJP's "major" heart pendant-- on a very chunky chain-- was almost old school rapper huge, it's rough-hewn, hammered texture and antique finish tone it down to be modern and chic. Citrine by the Stones Dulce Amor Necklace doubles as a belt! A largish, statement-making pendant necklace works so well with spring to summer fashion and is a perfect pairing for drapey tops or simple T-shirts. One is all you need when wearing something this large, do be

RuPaul is America’s Sweetest Drag Queen and Still Prettier Than You

"Workin' It! RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style," honey, SHE has got it going on! Read it, turn to the left Read it, now turn to the right Read it, sashay shante I have one thing to say... you better read it, bitch! RuPaul is on my mind quite a bit. Not because of his television show, “RuPaul's Drag Race, “ or because I seem to always have the ending lyrics to Supermodel (You Better Work) stuck in my head every time deadlines get heavy. RuPaul is on my mind for another reason—it's because I cannot believe how many female reality TV stars look like a family of drag queens! It's impossible to count how many

Prettypretty Chairs are pretty wiggy

Hair chairs for your kookiest indulgences If you have more wigs than Dolly Parton has gone through in a lifetime, you might just start to want to look at them as potential art rather than pile of beauty roadkill. I love to look at the obvious and see it in so many different and unique ways that nothing is ever expected, whether it be art or the way are inspired by the ordinary to make to extraordinary. PRETTYPRETTY Anna Pouf Furniture designer Dejana Kabiljo of the Viennese design brand, Kabiljo Inc. sees and designs “objects for all of us with little fetishes, bad habits and compulsive actions.” The materials are carefully researched and subdued to a series of experimental processes

Light-Up Jimmy Choo Zap Sandals brighten your nights

They will see you coming & going in these too fabulous sandals that light up with every step! It's funny but I was secretly thrilled when my then kindergarten age son didn't have an ongoing yen for those light-up sneakers. I understood the practicality of a child wearing shoes with flashing lights at night, but the novelty of all that blinking drove me nuts. I have a similar love / hate with what is proving to be one of the most talked about shoes for Spring, the Jimmy Choo Zap Light-Up Platform Sandals. Jimmy Choo Light Up Platform Sandals Think of it as Studio 54 at your feet. Instead of dancing under the infamous neon moon and spoon, the Jimmy
