The Shopping Gene…

Or, what my mom taught me about quality, bargains & a discerning eye I had an early Mother's Day surprise when my husband unearthed a few envelopes of photos while he was hunting through some storage. This set of pre-digital pics were most likely what I had given my mom when my son was an infant. And, now ended up being tucked away in a box. What a pleasant surprise to see photos of my mom with my 11 week old baby, and of my little white girl poodle who was always on high alert watching over my son. There's even a snap with Po, the favorite Teletubby, all pictured above. In honor of Mother's Day, I started thinking about some of

In case you asked… XYZ things you didn’t know about me

I've been interviewed a bunch lately and keep getting asked more personal questions about myself and my backstory (we all have one).   So, I got to thinking that it was time to share a few more quirky things & pull the curtain back a little further beyond my usual stylist advice right here on FocusOnStyle in its 15th anniversary year online. Consider this my confidential version of Trivial Pursuit brimming with incidentals that you may not have known (in case you were curious), like a favorite photo, at the top, from one of my many trips to Italy years ago. You may already glean a boatload if you follow FocusOnStyle. Certainly, you have a fairly good hint that I'm

How To Be A Stylist: It’s All About The Tzuj With Behind the Scenes Photo Shoot Fashion Stylist Tricks

A rare photo of me on a photo shoot and it’s becuase it was in a magazine! New Woman magazine did a feature story about me and here I am in a snippet photo as a stylist on the set with Brad Boles (FoS contributing editor at large) on makeup & North Rebis on hair.

In my continuing reprise of some of my greatest evergreen material leading up to the 15th anniversary year of FocusOnStyle.com online and the launch of my C'est Chic Crash Course, I want to spend this week's review looking back at what REALLY  happens as a stylist behinds the scenes on a photoshoot.  Read on & revisit...

A video message from me to you…

Happy New Year 2014 video message from Sharon Haver
Happy New Year Wishes… 2014 and new resolutions have begun as today heralds the start of a new year ahead and a new you… Never say never. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY as a total city girl I never thought that one day I would have a foothold in the Cowboy State! Yes, the teen who once went hiking in platform snakeskin stilettos (cousins, do you remember?) spends a chunk of the year out west. How lucky is my son to have the best of both worlds being a New Yorker who also has the Grand Teton a few minutes from his vacation place?  I call my winter time out west my White Space, where I chill (literally) and regroup
