From The Editor: What I Now Know as "Blogger’s Block"…

apresenta — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:37:00 +0000

To my loyal readers, my apologies for not posting yesterday. I actually spent the better half of the day working on posts for the blog. I had previously constructed the rough draft of my post and was quite eager to bring the post to fruition, however I was daunted by several computer issues, technical glitches, mental fatigue and frustration. Needless to say, the creative juices were not flowing! In fact, I think the latter portion of this month I’ve been suffering a bit, from what I now know as, “blogger’s block”. No worries! I’m not running out of blog topics, just the eloquence required to properly interpret topics for readers.

Having said all that, I encourage your thoughts, feedback, style dilemmas, photos, and comments!

Have a Fashionable Day!

On The Style Radar: The Alexis Hudson Spring 2008 Handbag Collection

apresenta — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:32:00 +0000

Rachelle Copeland and Emily Ironi, the brains behind the beautiful Alexis Hudson Handbag collection, bring over 15 years of industry experience to the fresh, young brand industry insiders immediately labeled “one to watch.” Copeland and Ironi spent years learning the business of accessory design and sales, and in 2005 they pooled their talents to launch the collection whose name pays homage to Copeland’s five year-old daughter Alexis, and Ironi’s “baby” German Wirehaired Pointer Hudson. From the word go, the Alexis Hudson partners had a clear cut vision for their brand and have seen their vision through to reality: creating the “perfect bag” and providing “absolute therapy for handbag addicts.” As the creative force, Copeland designs bags that are the perfect marriage of function and form. Like a classic ballet flat or chic trenchcoat, an Alexis Hudson handbag is destined to stand the test of time thanks to its ability to adapt to and transform the individual style of each woman who carries it. Each luxurious Alexis Hudson bag includes subtle, yet thoughtful, design elements such as hidden magnetic closures, penholders, adjustable straps, key chain clasps, and plenty of room for all the important things a busy girl carries. Using her vast sales and marketing experience, Ironi successfully launched the Alexis Hudson line, landing it in some of the country’s most touted and high profile boutiques in just a single season. Thanks to instant visibility, the Alexis Hudson collection started showing up on the arms of the most fashionable women and chicest celebrities (including Eva Longoria, Katherine Heigl, Heather Graham, Jill Hennessey, Kate Hudson, Keira Knightley, Elisabeth Rohm, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Cindy Crawford to name a few) from coast-to-coast. -

On The Style Radar: Shoes For Lovely People

apresenta — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:22:00 +0000

Available at Nordstrom, this fun label offers over 30 spring styles from ultra-girly polka-dot wedges ($120) to classic black patent-leather flats ($110). Of course, if you’re like us and want something in between, their salmon-colored lattice shoe ($110) makes it easy to get over nostalgia for those middle-school jellies, and their strappy patent-leather cork wedge in electric blue ($145) inspires us to sport more subtly ’70s looks.

"How Do I Look?"

apresenta — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 22:47:00 +0000

When you meet someone for the first time – whether it is a new client, or a potential date – they often subconsciously assess “who” you are in less than 20 seconds. Before you even have a chance to smile or say hello, they have already made many decisions about who you are, and what you are capable of doing.

Are they dismissing you out of hand because of how you look?

Would you like your image to enhance your career?

How would you feel if your image could open more doors for you?

Wouldn’t it be nice to be more comfortable in social situations?

Would you like to learn how to take your business or sales to the next level?

Can you imagine what it would be like if customers or employees took you more seriously?

Wouldn’t it be great to know that your image adds to, not detracts from who you really are?

The attitude that comes with a polished appearance, including your outfit and hair style creates an instant impression and an instant judgment about who you are. When you know that you have sought the help of a professional fashion consultant, you project an image of confidence and authority, and you are far more likely to succeed in both your business and casual relationships.

We schedule a one hour fashion consultation to evaluate your current style (this consultation can be done in-person, online or via telephone). Wardrobe and beauty recommendations will be provided, tailoring a plan just for you. To prepare for your personal transformation, you will be provided with an in-depth questionnaire to complete.
