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!

It must be gorgeous enough to stand on its own design merits. Well, after sifting through a slew of tchotchkes, we finally turned up something cute. Jonathan Adler's mod enamel driedels

Shearling Coats stylish enough to wear in the city

Keira Knightley rocks a Burberry shearling coat It's time to rethink shearling as a fashion choice. There's nothing like a frigid day to ruin your coat style.

Shearling coats are a fantastic option but for the last few years it is all too common for them to get a bad design rap. WGACA Vintage - Vintage Shearling Coat at ShopBop They are the typically stylishly forgotten items left to “sheepskin and leather” emporiums in affluent ski towns. The coats with the shawl collars, narrow shoulders, and oddly oversized armholes, usually in a shade of

Felted by desire: Try a real hat

Sure a beret is cute. Try a Trilby, down turned fedora or floppy felt hat for some big time drama. There's a definite chill in the air. It's hard to chic when you're all bundled up.

Who doesn't like a beret? Knit caps are cute and practical. But you crave drama, the drama of a statement making hat. Aqua Floppy Felt Hat with Patent Trim at Bloomingdale's.
