Skirt lengths have been going up and down since the 1920’s. Maxi lengths ebb and flow on the fashion scene, but they don’t disappear. They were big in the late sixties, and they are strong again now. What are your thoughts about them? I like them, they are...

Brows are the gateway to your face. They create a balance, and without them, you can look older and certainly less noticeable. Here a couple of things to know about brows. Like fashion, brow styles change. Right now, full, triangle brows are all the rage. ...

Oh Boy! I clearly haven’t traveled in a while. I am on my way to Vieques, Puerto Rico from Burlington, Vt. Granted, we had a 5:50 AM flight, but really? The level of dress? Big decline in the last two years. I thought it was crazy casual before, but we have sunk to...

I posted a photo on social media last week. I love to ask what others think about various fashion topics. Who looked best in the beige and crème outfit? A blonde or a brunette. Most thought the blonde would look better; I would agree. This is the photo. ...

How often do you try a new makeup look? For some, it’s a fun adventure, a way to exercise your artistic flair. For others, it creates anxiety. You like what you have, and if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. I tried an idea today. I did a cat eye, and instead of filling...

When I looked at the woman in the red duster, I thought of an unmade bed. The visual of the unmade bed vs the clean and crisp room says a lot. When you walk into a cluttered room, how does it make you feel? How about when you have just washed the sheets and your bed...

When it comes to makeup colors, some want it all, others? Not so much. Before I became a fan of “Color Me Beautiful”, I thought one could wear any color as long it was enhanced by the right makeup colors. To a degree, I still concur. For instance, if you love olive...

When I speak to groups about image, I usually address handbags. I ask, “how many of you use the same bag every day?” Usually, at least half the group raises their hand. I then ask for a volunteer who raised their hand. She shares her bag with the group. It is often...

People say I never change. That’s hilarious. In a couple of weeks, I will turn 68. I certainly don’t look 25 anymore. I will admit, my skin is holding up quite well. Personal care is important to me. I generally eat well, I usually have good night sleeps, I move my...

Brown is not an intrinsically good color on me. I like it though. What’s the solution? Wear makeup with works on your face and blends with the color you are wearing…in this case, brown. Take a look at this video to give you a quick look using brown and...

I am a huge fan of VPR. It’s my go-to station when I am in the car. I had a listener crush on Meghna Chakrabarti…until yesterday. They were blasting MLM’s on her program, On Point. Whoa! Hold on Meghna! There were some valid criticisms, but...

Do you watch makeup videos you can’t relate to? Too young? They make it look so easy? This is the real deal, live from my bathroom. Mistakes and all. We are human, we are designed to make mistakes. Happily, makeup is one of the easier errors to fix. Grab...

How many things do you have hanging on your walls? How often do you really, I mean really, look at them? This is a framed gift from the Burlington Free Press. I received it eons ago. I haven’t read it or studied the photo in years. What a flattering note from Ed...

I consider myself a careful shopper. Careful shopper? What does that mean? Several criteria go into that answer. When purchasing an item, these are some of the questions I may ask myself. How often will you wear this? What do you have that goes with this? Is the price...

Do you experience anxiety when you are dressing for a holiday party? Do you feel you have to run out and get something new? If getting a new outfit excites you, go for it. Shop away. If you are not that person, there are a couple of things you can do. One…you can go...

When I look at this photo, I am overloaded with visual information. What do you look at? There is so much going on that my eye can’t get back to the model’s face. I love mixing prints, but I also like the mix to tell a story. What do the boots have to do...

When I looked at this photo, I said to myself, “oh no, wrong.” I bet she was running out to do a quick errand. I would guess, when one has a bright blue dress coat, there are other outerwear options in her closet. Either change the shoes or change into a more casual...

I go to my dermatologist at least once a year for body checks. I want to make sure I am on top of anything that looks like a pre-cancer spot. Did you know that most of our sun damage happens by the time we are eighteen? How many of us grew up using anything we could...

I went shopping last week-end and I tried on about five pairs of pants. Nope. That was not a pants day for me. Everything was cut too straight. I’m thin. What about women who have more meat on their bones? Funny how a legging can be more flattering than a straight...

This was fun. I met Rosine Kushnick through Linkedin. She is a dating consultant. In this video, we discussed visual impressions you might make on a virtual first date, on an in-person date, and beyond. How do you want to dress after many years of a relationship…and...
