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!

Liz Hurley – Boobage Overboard

Elizabeth Hurley and Her Amazing Exploding Boobage… We are not in the editorial vain of dissing celebrities or drooling over their every move. As a matter of fact, we find that rather unexciting and mundane. However, every once in a while a photo smacks us down like a dustbin full of tabloid pulp. This time, it is by way of the Daily Mail and it’s coverage of Liz Hurley and her exploding boobage– right out of her fuchsia dress! Liz, you are gorgeous. For godssake, put those girls back in where they belong. But if her cleavage was less displayed, would we be writing this? Hummm… Publicity is a mighty burden. Readers take note: Please do not try this at

LA Fashion Week: Whitley Kros runway review

Sleepy Spring… Attending the Whitley Kros Spring 2009 fashion show was like being invited to a posh slumber party. The models lightly glided down the runway with messy mopped up hair thrown in a tiny little twisted bun. The make up was minimal with kisses of peach.   If this is what spring is going to be about, then we are definitely in for a treat! The clothes were all sleepwear inspired with loose fits and delicious printed silks. I saw quite a few loose mini sleep shorts in shades of cream, teal, and floral prints. The dolman sleeve was very present, as well as menswear inspired blouses. My favorite pieces had to be the long legged rompers. A sleeker

I got jacked! Gloomy Monday with the Fonejacker

You can get jacked too…   It’s Columbus Day, one of the biggest shopping sale days of the year, if you are not out bargain hunting today or clicking madly online, you should be having some bloody fun! For those of you not in the know with the hilarious British spoof, Fonejacker, you can get some good belly laughs online. According to the E4 site, the definitive meaning is: fonejack / v. 1. to seize control of a telephone conversation by farce esp. divert it from reason and logic.   We say, they are freaking hysterical, if you are not of the overly precious at heart!   Love the rather newish, Telephone Dating video:   There’s the classic ISP Provider

Feeling old, tired, and bored? Go see Madonna for a pick-me-up!

Boost Me Up, Mama Madonna!   Sometimes my inbox is full of mail from women thinking they are too old or afraid to make a change in their wardrobe or personal style in fear of not dressing age-appropriate. Some of these poor courage-deprived chickadees are even in their thirties!!!   Well, before you sit home and feel sorry for yourself any longer, or just want to have fun, I urge you to go out and see Madonna, now roaming the world on her Sticky & Sweet tour.   I really get disgusted with every other review commenting on her age… well, it’s not age, honey, it’s vitality! It would be hard-pressed to find someone else who can consistently challenge boredom

Lost in Fashion Bliss… The Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute goes online

One of the best things about being lucky enough to grow up in NYC is to regularly visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Even luckier, is to have a yen for fashion and the privilege to visit its Costume Institute, starting from back in the day that Diana Vreeland ruled. The Costume Institute’s recent renovation makes viewing the fashion exhibitions even more spectacular but for those who cannot make it to Manhattan or crave some deskside drooling and inspiration, WWD reports this morning that 29,432 items from the Costume Institute's impressive collection 31,000-piece collection of clothing and objects have been photographed and cataloged into an online database.
