I’ll be first to admit that I lean more towards the modest side when it comes to style. When I do sexy, it’s subtle sexy all the way. No shade to my more sultry style types out there – when sexier styles are done right, it’s quite powerful. What I do have a hard time…
People are judging you based on your appearance. I’ve said variations of that phrase about a million and a half times over the course of my career, and every time I say it someone gets pissed off. I’m not saying it’s right. I’m not saying that it’s fair. What I am saying is it’s true….

Let me start by saying this: I am not a mom (unless you count my dog as a child) but I have worked with many a mom in my career as a personal stylist. So the thoughts I share on style and motherhood do come from a place of experience. Just gotta put that out…
