I decided to do an impromptu Facebook Live on Friday because I keep getting asked about how to get out of a rut. Actually, I wasn't directly asked. It's that the real answer to so many little, piecey questions drills deeper than the surface of "what dress to I wear," "what shoe do I wear," but rather it's getting in touch with your core values of what inspires you. Without fully living a life with eyes wide open you are capping your inspiration, you are holding yourself back from moving forward, you are cutting yourself off from the joy that is all around us. When I talk to many women in flux during a Get Style call I notice that they have

Although a timeless classic for special occasions, lace is one of the biggest trends this season. Before we delve into ways to wear lace and make it look modern, have you ever thought about what lace means to you? What does lace evoke, and where does it stand in your life? At first, those may seem like tricky questions especially if lace is not for you. But have you ever thought about the symbolism of lace and it's enduring significance throughout history. From fairy princesses to walking down the isle, from purity to regal elegance, from sweet to sexy, the complex symbolism of lace and it's history makes it one of the most substantial yet often over looked fabrications of modern time. Baby

Oh, my chicster, you know the city most known for that certain oh-la-la style... and when they do fashion week, it's time to take notice! Paris Fashion Week Spring 2017 is one of my favorite fashion week stops because there are so many little trends to steal to reshape your wardrobe, NOW. Most significant are the bigger shoulders, leg-o-mutton sleeves, small waist and that ode to 80's glam. So if you are like me and sported a few of these silhouettes the first go round, you know that at a certain time in your life, it's all about the nuance so that you don't look like you were caught in a time warp. But don't fret, fashion works in cycles, and

I'm not going to lie, I may love French chic style, but I'm always partial to Italian fashion so Milan Fashion Week Spring 2017 gets me pretty excited. You know what else puts a smile on my face? Seeing supermodel Lauren Hutton work the runway. Okay, maybe I'm dating myself, but I owe A LOT to Ms. Hutton. You see way back when I was a kid I had a big gap between my front teeth. My mom was pretty insistent that I get braces and the orthodontist was headset that not only would he need to do some surgery along with my wearing heavy braces for several years but my gap would never go away on its own. I kinda

I'm writing you from the vroom-vroom-vroom sound of construction going on in my building. Can't complain too much because we'll be having our own share of rebuilding soon. What I actually do like about renovation is that it really is re-inspiration. You get to look at things a different way and see new possibilities, either in your home or in your wardrobe. London Fashion Week Spring 17 just ended and there were plenty of riffs on a theme that you will want to add to your wardrobe. We've cherry-picked a handful of runway to real way style tweaks to get you inspired right now. Tell me what you think. - S.H. London Fashion Week Spring 2017 styling tricks and hacks to try

It's been quite the week of running around with New York Fashion Week, tons of media interviews, and some restaffing. If you are following me on social media (my handle is @focusonstyle), and I hope you are, you've seen some behind the scenes snaps and comments of my week. One of my favorite Fashion Week pit stops was the Donna Karan Urban Zen presentation that harkened classic Donna design... think draping. There was lot's of fashiony inspiration.

It's that time of the season when we all want a little fashion boost and not quite sure how to get it. Sure, as of this post, there are plenty of things on sale to add a pop to your wardrobe, but sometimes we find newness in the details of how we style ourselves. I was on a One-on-One call with a business style coaching client the other day and as we were virtually going through her closet, we discovered so many varied ways to wear the "same" things she was more than comfortable wearing (or sick of), and she suddenly became alive when we freshened up wardrobe with just a few easy styling hacks. So I thought I would

I have a special treat for you. It's total indulgence. And for me, a super sweet spot. I've always had a thing for Rome. As a little girl in Brooklyn, I imagined myself living in Italy back in the 50s and 60s during the time of black and white movies, anything Fellini, red sports cars, chic black dresses worn with merry widows underneath, sharp eyeliner, Marcello Mastroianni, elegant yet wild parties, and everything Rome in all its decadent, gorgeous, crazy glory. Truth be told, decades later I did have a lot of fun in the Eternal City once I was old enough to visit time and time again. But I digress. So anything that combines the breathtaking backdrop of Rome with fantasy and fashion just

What color should I wear is a question that I am frequently asked as a fashion + style expert. I've been traveling a lot lately and meeting many bright and savvy entrepreneurs at business conferences who are totally stymied when it comes to how they present themselves. Color is one of their biggest roadblocks when it comes to creating a chic and professional image. One woman told me that she saw an image consultant who told her to wear brown and apricot as it reflected her soul. Really??? No wonder this poor woman couldn't find a thing to wear and when she did she looked like the thing that brown best represents. Here's the truth about color and style, if

Wanna talk leadership style? You're in for a special treat. It's not often that I talk about the behind the scenes of my business and my leadership style. Running a business is just as chic to me as a pair of shoes. So this time I pulled back the curtain to reveal what not only makes my business tick but my style of leadership that has allowed me to be a successful entrepreneur for the past three decades. You'll also learn about what I call my "two-headed monster" as I'm equally versed in business as in style. I hold a degree in marketing and a black belt in shopping. If you are the face of your brand, an entrepreneur, coach or
