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!

Yes, I think I’m Parisian Chic. Maybe!

Some things in Parisare almost a given, a rite of passage if you will. There's that tentative yet boldy self-confident attitude. Polar opposites that when they come together, with a cute accent thrown in, are oh soooo French. Then's there's the love for simple, yet classic pieces, with something bold thrown in to pop. The attitude and the style are almost the same, no? Yes, of course they are! H&M is beginning a style video series and the 'Parisian Chic' street style is the 2nd to roll out today. We think it's very worthwhile to watch and captures the je ne sais quoi of young French style that is a simple, yet timeless recipe for easy chic. Take a look:

Fashion as Furniture: Dressed Chairs make your room as pretty as you

Found art finds fashion pretty enough to sit upon We all know that we've done this at least once! You can't believe how much you are madly in love with your new purchase. You purposely leave it strewn across a chair, just to kvel over like a doting grandmother. There are those of us who have a cherished pair or two of gorgeous, yet impractical, shoes put blatantly on display to ogle, like an artful vignette under our nightstand. Others have a nightly ritual of laying out the next day's outfit, complete with accessories to be both prepared and admired in the process. So why not take that same fashion inspiration and lavish it upon our furniture? Rooms.ge chair dressed

Giuseppe Zanotti x Colette Paris Ammo Ballerinas!

Saturday morning coffee with a side of style... I have to admit that I'm still trying the process the calamine pink rifle that we saw in a pawn shop cum convenience store out west. However, when it comes to these Giuseppe Zanotti canvas ballerina flats with a Swarovski strass bullet exclusive to Colette, I'm all fired up! No matter how French chic ballerina shoes are, I'm probably the rare bird who is uncomfortable in super flats. Give me a good heel any day. I'm not much of crystal queen either. But, sniff sniff, I do love the way cute flats look on everyone else! But the genius of the combination is making me want to fly off to Paris and
