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!

Oslo Style: How to get new outfits for free

Home Town Style: Oslo, Norway… Get some Oslo stye: Retail remedy tips to shop your closet. I know, going shopping with an empty wallet is not easy. Trust me, I am the kind of person who always finds great things to buy- - no matter what, no matter where, and especially when I cannot afford to buy a thing.

Richard’s Euroflash: Purple Reign, Italian Street Style

What They Are Wearing in Rome and Naples: During my recent jaunt to Italy, I couldn't help but notice that purple is the new black for Italians of all ages this season. The royal fashion color reigns supreme on everything from plaid lilac blouses to purple purses. In Rome and Naples, the moped ragazzi hit the street running in molto breve short skirts with purple leggings or tights showing a lot of thigh. Modified cowboy boots (Italians are known for their fabuluso take on Spaghetti Western boots), softened motorcycle boots, and the neo-classic Hogan â€~orthopedic chic' metallic oxfords are the hot footwear looks of the moment. The more casual Neapolitans are wearing low-slung jeans hugging the hips with wide belts

Elizabeth in LA: The Layered Look in Jewelry Trends
