MY BLOG:

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!

How to Wear Silver: Coordinating an evening look

Coordinating an evening look… I have a silver evening dress and not sure if I should wear silver shoes, purse and a shawl with it or if I can wear light purple with it. (Toronto, Ontario) The Tin (Wo)Man is not a fashion statement! Absolutely do not drench yourself in one color, particularly a bold or metallic one. The key to chic is having the ability to understand color and texture which enhance and not overwhelm you and avoiding a flat single-note look. If the dress is a jazzy silver, let it be the focal point- add softer accessories that complement the silver without taking away from it. You can go tone on tone as long as texture and finish

Prada Fragrance launch…

The sweet smell of success   There really should be a support group for those addicted to Prada. They have it. They need it. They gotta get it. They live for it.

Now, that style sniffer can literally inhale the aroma of the moment with the launch of Prada Fragrance. Prada Parfums first introduction blends a contemporary and classic scent with a modern take on ancient essential oils, precisely merging the perfect recipe of amber blended with sandalwood, patchouli, and other references fusing East and West in a

Nail Trends: Put your finger on fashion…

Short metallic nails Maybe it's the Gemini in us, but nothing gets our gaga going more than any trend that does double-duty. We love a classic blood red nail, but it is just too much with all the luscious embellishments this season. We are also crazy that the right touch of metallic can make any simple outfit soar from ordinary to extraordinary. What's a girl to do to get a modern mani? Ditch the pinks. Rest the reds. Curtail the corals. Taper the talons. Go for the short nail with the big impact. Snap up your fall look with glam metallics. Think of heavy metals infused with pigment and sheen like the patina of rich auto exteriors and you've nailed

Converse just got in the act with a reissued replica of the 1946 Chuck Taylor All Star. That old again is new again trend for retro sneakers hits another high mark. In this case, it's hi-top. We've fashionably reincarnated what seems like every groovy sneaker in captivity with a fresh version that squeals cute and certainly smells better than a skanky second-hand find. Now that proverbial retro classic, Converse just got in the act with a reissued replica of the 1946 Chuck Taylor All Star. But, this “Chuck” is not your de rigeur rocker type basketball sneak. Instead, it's

Tan in a Can…

Get salon airbrush tan results at home Get salon airbrush tan results at home A rich tan is unmistakably the hottest summer trend, yet we all know the dangers of toasting ourselves silly to get that sun-drenched look. While most savvy fashionistas do get their fake bake from a salon's airbrush tan artist or a walk-in spray machine, we aren't necessarily keen to strip down and mist up by appointment or spray-paint ourselves into some weird, splotchy orange glow. But, the idea of browning naturally is quite appealing. Imagine not applying a dye or color to your skin, but developing a brilliant bronze enhancement on your own based upon a natural chemical reaction quite similar to that of a cut

Guy changing style to match a changing persona… Tighten your wardrobe to strengthen your look

Guy changing style to match a changing persona… Tighten your wardrobe to strengthen your look I believe I need help here. I am enrolled at a Boston college and want to make the right impression. I grew up as a skateboarder-- with the long middle-parted hair, baggy jeans and, skating shoes. Then, I became a computer geek and didn't care at all. Next, I've moved to noticing that my clothes could help make a good impression on important people, so I started to wear polo shirts, and khakis, and ran wild with a Clooney/Caesar cut. Now I realize that I shouldn't tuck in all my polos and went wild buying jeans at Express Men. I would have considered myself a
