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

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.

How to avoid information overload, conquer overwhelm, and process what you learned... Don't let information overload ruin your learning experience! I recently attended a business development mastermind training retreat where I had first-hand exposure to the feeling of overwhelm that can arise during "intense learning situations". In this Quick Tip video, you will learn how I process a lot of information after an intense learning experience. So, if you find yourself in a situation like this, the best way to let all that good information sink in, process what you learned, and avoid overwhelm is to take a step back, free your mind, and just relax. Get outdoors and do what you love. It may seem counter-intuitive, but you'll find that

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

Email Marketing Style Advice: How To Write An Email That Sounds Like A Conversation We get so many emails every day but the ones we read the most sound like a conversation from a friend and not a sales pitch.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite posts... Some kid's went to summer camp, I went shopping at discount stores (ok, some trips too)! I consider myself lucky to have had a mother who from a very early age instilled in me the virtues of looking the best you can with any budget and who taught me how to seek out the best deals. I never (like to) pay full price for anything if there is a saving alternative! For this week's continuing reprise of some of my greatest evergreen material leading up to the 15th anniversary year of FocusOnStyle online, I want to spend this week’s review looking back at how you can get the best deals on great fashion.
