A Roundup of Stylist Favorites

Last week I took a break from the newsletter to celebrate a milestone birthday… I turned 40! We celebrated in one of my favorite places, the California wine country. My husband did an amazing job of not just planning the trip down to every last detail, but packing my actual birthday with all of my favorite things.

I'm Left Handed

Recently, I reconnected with a client from 5 years ago. When we spoke on the phone, she said:

Even though its been a few years, I still read your blogs. You’re still the upbeat, positive girl I remember. I think your blogs read differently to me because I know you on a more personal level than maybe someone who hasn’t worked with you.

a beautiful year

What does beauty mean to you? Can something be irregular and beautiful? I’ve always found beauty in unexpected things, but recently a article in In Style magazine has me pushing my thoughts of beauty just a bit further. While reading this issue, I came across an article featuring a model smiling with less than perfect teeth, even missing her front tooth. I caught myself thinking why did the company choose her to pose for this article? I felt like I had been brainwashed by perfect pearly whites thinking that she shouldn’t be featured with her imperfect pout. Could I not see her beauty? And then I stopped myself. Beautiful doesn’t have to be this standard of symmetry.

Smiling's My Favorite!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! This time of year brings holiday parties, family traditions, and holiday shopping! When I think about what to get for others, I often think about what I would want to receive and what I personally love. If I love it, chances are my friends and family will too! I’ve compiled a list of 5 of my favorite things, why I love them and where to get them! They’re items I continue to each for and are universal to whatever your personal style may be!
