Personal Style

Love this. And yes — it's true. But I don't want to work tonight.

I'm exhausted. Yet, there's so much amazingness right around the corner. I just need to get through another few weeks and then, perhaps, I can reward myself with a spa day (or weekend, really).

Days like these, I am thankful for my beautiful family, making every crazy day completely worth it, and my incredibly awesome clients that allow me to style their lives.

Tomorrow brings a new day to inspire. And I'll be ready.

After getting home from a freezing cold evening of back-to-back lacrosse games, I couldn't wait to jump back into a few of my favorite winter pieces (read: big furry coat and down slippers). You'd think that my Prairie Underground knee-length hoodie, vinyasa scarf and two blankets would shield me from the chill. However, they were no match for the whipping wind.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset with the cooler temps. In fact, I welcome them. There will be enough heat to go around sooner than we want, after all. So until then, my jackets and scarves are high on life!

There are many color pairings that make me happy. However, these have to make me the happiest. Pink and orange. Red and pink. Orange and red. Or, all three put together. Fun, energetic and magnetic!

Some drama, I love. Especially when it comes to fashion. However, drama that's delivered in the simplest of forms sometimes has the most impact. 

As in this beautiful image. 

Cropped cardigan. Bra and panty set. On the bank of a river near an old bridge. Oh, top it off with 2-tone fabric draped against the model's legs. Not only does it make her look 10 feet tall, but it also gives the illusion of a mermaid against the water. 

How fantastic is this?

Today, I will carry this confidence with me. No matter what I am wearing

redgreenglamHave you ever seen holiday red and green together in a more glamorous way than this?

I sure haven't.

Of course, the dramatic make-up and hair elevate the fabulous factor. This look completely revs me up for the week ahead. One sure to be filled with side-by-side color pairings you'd never expect to see. I can't wait to get into my clients' closets!

In the meantime, I challenge you to experiment with color. Play, play, play!

Coming off a photo shoot from Friday, I can attest that there are a rainbow of colors to consider. Like orange, coral, pink and yellow. The bolder the better!
