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!

Vote! Message Clothing Takes a Design Turn

Say it like you mean it… It’s two weeks less one day before the election and honestly, we cannot believe there are still undecideds out there. Go out and give the push or you might end up with the political team of your worst nightmare. Ticket to style- The ‘Vote’ message on clothing can get a little tacky looking but top designers have taken their turn on the runway and we’ve found a few more less precious and equally poignant ways to express the power of choice. Plus, a snap of our favorite Vote graffiti this week. BTW: We’re not sharing our political views other than we live in a true-blue melting pot city and vacation where we like to

Good-bye to a fashion era, Mr. Blackwell dies

Mr. Blackwell: 1922-2008   He was our favorite be-atch. We’ve been covering his Worst Dressed Fashion List with glee for years. While we may not have always agreed with Mr. Blackwell, we certainly enjoyed the chuckle.   Mr. Blackwell was the forerunner of the celebrity fashion zingers and without him paving the way, who knows, maybe Joan Rivers would be as sweet as a pageant girl in front of the judges. Here are some Blackwell bites from his Worst Dressed List over the years:   Donatella Versace: “Time to toss the peroxide once and for all . . . She resembles a flash-fried Venus, stuck in a Miami Strip Mall!” Camilla Parker-Bowles: “In feathered hats that were once the rage,

LA Fashion Week: Lana Fuchs Runway Review, Spring 2008

A Couture Wonderland… The Lana Fuchs Couture fashion show was an opulent mash of party dresses, gowns, bold prints and colors, ruffles, fringe, and so much more! I do love, however, that they kept the make-up and hair minimal at best so that all the attention could be focused on the clothing. The hair was pulled away from the face, smooth but loosely set. A nude lip and cat eyes were all they needed to top it off.   There was a great little selection of printed dresses on the runway that I couldn’t get my mind off. My favorite was the sweetheart party dress (pictured) with a floral print that was suitable for dinner or dancing and can fit

Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill – Banksy, with a side of fashion disturbia

Art takes a stance on exotic furs and animal testing for cosmetics… There’s no secret of our lack of love for animal cruelty or vanity furs, and our fascination with street art. So when they meet head-on, we are there. Thought provoking inspiration comes where you find it. Style is all around you, if only you keep your eyes open.   First, we’ve noticed the massive rat graffiti on sides on several downtown buildings. Our favorite is the “There’s no such thing as good publicity” rat on Houston Street. After some research, we find it’s from the elusive yet in your face British artist, Banksy. And, really a cryptic precursor promo to the more major art installation cum pseudo retail
