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!

The perils of pink… Going to extremes wearing one color

The perils of pink… Going to extremes wearing one color I have a pink wool peacoat that I bought for some reason last year. I am over 30 and a working professional. Can I get away with wearing pink? It looks great with my coloring, which is the only reason-- so far-- that I am keeping it. Or are pink coats better left for little girls? Thanks for your advice! (Zurich, Switzerland) You've really come to the wrong girl to extol the virtues of wearing pink. Pink is no longer a color, it's become a state of mind for some women. Yes, there are gorgeous shades of pink- dusty rose, that Schiaparelli shocking pink, rosebud, certain fuchsia's, blush, and men

Non-surgical face-lift to renew skin contours… Thermage reduces the signs of aging skin

Non-surgical face-lift to renew skin contours… Thermage reduces the signs of aging skin    I've had a stressful year and my face is showing it. I feel like I've developed a turkey neck and have lost elasticity in my skin. It's not a huge amount of droop, but just enough to try to stop before it sags some more. I'm really not interested in cosmetic surgery or any other invasive procedures. Although, I desperately want to look better, I don't want to look different like so many of the aging celebrities who suddenly look like "refreshed" aliens. My friend had mentioned a treatment called Thermage and was interesting in learning more about it. (Tempe, AZ)   >>RELATED: Want an update

Are bare legs ok in a professional environment? Avoiding a pantyhose faux pas

Are bare legs ok in a professional environment? Avoiding a pantyhose faux pas I just started a position, outside my home, for the first time in many years. I am working around men - very well dressed commercial real estate brokers. My location is in Carlsbad, CA, which is a somewhat upscale beach city. I was told by a female secretary in their La Jolla office that nylons are so out. Bare legs are in style even in a professional environment. True or untrue? Does one consider the season, the climate, or the location when determining what professional dress is? (Carlsbad, CA) Sorry, to tell you, but you are showing your age! Fashionably speaking, nude nylons have been out of

Undereye rings keep us up all night Dark circles, be gone. Hylexin solution for dark under eye circles that keep us up all night.

Sneaker Style… What color socks to wear with running shoes and what sneakers to wear with shorts

Sneaker Style… What color socks to wear with running shoes and what sneakers to wear with shorts What color socks should one wear if wearing blue jeans and white running shoes with black and gray trim? (Appleton, WI) >> Shop for Stylish Sneakers Okay, you really hit a fashion nerve. I want to affirm that the sneakers that you refer to are NOT those bulky, boxy, white leather, no-brainer, styleless clod of a thing that scores of style-impoverished Americans see as standard-issue non-office foot attire! I really hope so. Besides, the whole idea of coordinating socks with white sneakers and jeans absolutely stymies me. If one was to spend such a tremendous amount of time fretting about coordinating their socks
