Makeover packages make a great gift for the holidays...

The holiday season is upon us again, so this is the perfect time to treat that someone special in your life to a makeover.  What better way to start the New Year than to give yourself or a loved one a fresh start and a fresh look?

I can help do that with the many different packages I offer.  From Closet Audits to Mommy Makeovers or Special Occasion Shopping, whatever your needs are, I can help you get the look you want.

I am offering special deals for the holidays, so please call me to find out more about how you can make your loved one's day by giving them a gift certificate for a personal makeover!  Most people are so busy taking care of others that they put themselves last on the list - so maybe now it's time they took the time to do something for themselves, or maybe you can help them get started.  I promise you, people feel so good when they actually take the time to do something for themselves.  A Style Consultation could be just the right gift to get your loved one motivated again and have them spend time on working on themselves.  Let me help start the journey to feeling better about who they are!

Remember that gift certificates can be redeemed anytime, so there's no expiration date to worry about.  Also, don't just assume that this is a gift for women only!  Men also need an overhaul sometimes so surprise him with a gift to get that new look!

Call me now to find out more about this unique and worthwhile gift on 412-996 5200.

Outfits for your Thanksgiving Day!

Is it just me or can it be difficult to come up with cute and comfortable Thanksgiving dinner outfits? You want to look stylish but not overdone, and you also want to be comfy and have enough room to eat as much pumpkin pie as possible!  Am I right?  Well here are three outfit ideas for you to think about for your Thanksgiving dinner this week.

Heading to your in-laws or significant others' for dinner and need to look chic but not overdone? Try a wrap dress and heels. The last thing you want to do is wear something that is overtly sexy or seriously slovenly!  These two pieces are polished but take little effort to put together.  Also, the wrap dress is a universally flattering piece, so you won't go wrong with this choice!




Just hanging with your family?  Leggings, an oversized sweater and comfy flats should do nicely. Your pants and top enable you to hide that food bump (hey, it happens!), while flats are easy to kick off should you decide to take a mid-afternoon nap!




Staying put for a simple Friendsgiving  instead?  Jeans, a blazer, t-shirt and ankle boots are your best bet.  It's essentially what you could wear to any other laid-back dinner party.




So you see, there's no need to panic about what you're going to wear to Thanksgiving dinner this year. There's an outfit for every scenario, whether formal or casual.  But remember that more important than what you're going to wear, is to be thankful for all the blessings in your life, and enjoy this precious time with family and friends.  ENJOY!!!

How to look great in Winter Whites...

We're no longer living by the no-white-after-Labor-Day rules - save for being a guest at your best friend's wedding, there really are no rules when it comes to wearing your white pieces.  That said, there can be a little trepidation around wearing the color during Winter - but now it's time to change that!  Read on to find out how you can make the most out of your winter white clothing!

Contrast your basics...a creamy mohair sweater has a quintessentially Winter feel.  Contrast this cozy top with soft leather pants (very on-trend right now!), and a pair of studded loafers, then add a pair of pretty earrings for an everyday outfit with a little pizzaz!

Go boho...create a bohemian Winter look by pairing a furry vest (fake fur of course!), with a long white maxi.  Layer up with your favorite popover and style it up with a bucket bag and easy ankle boots.

Make a statement...give white denim cool-girl edge by pairing your seasonal pullover with biker boots and a statement satchel - and don't forget your shades for those cold but sunny days!

Add some edge...make your LWD (little white dress) appropriate with a leather jacket and booties that speak to the season with luxe shearling lining.

Go white on white...don't be afraid to embrace white on white.  A creamy sweater feels extra fresh against skinny white bottoms, standout jewels, and a pair of edgy ankle boots.

Be chic in white...one of my favorites is to top my outfit with a white or creamy winter coat.  There's something about a white winter coat that screams luxurious, and it feels so good.  Pair with a bright scarf and luxe leather gloves for that classy winter look!
