Did You Go Lilly for Target CRAZY?

· Leave a Comment

Let's get #LillyCrazy!

Lilly-mania has come and gone. Well, it kind of had to; the widely-anticipated Lilly Pulitzer collaboration with Target sold out in mere MINUTES. Target has set a high standard with their previous designer collaborations: I started paying attention during the Isaac Mizrahi for Target years (one of my favorite dresses of all time is from this line, a line that shuttered in 2008!) and since, I have snagged amazing pieces from Missoni, the CFDA/Neiman Marcus collection, Thakoon and Proenza Schouler. But Lilly. Oh, that Lilly Pulitzer! The furor! The (hilarious) … [Read more...]

SPRING IS HERE!

I don't know how excited you are but I am so darn HAPPY that it is finally spring! I broke out my spring style favorites and had a ritualistic burning of all of my winter clothing because I was too filled with joy to think rationally. I so rarely remember to take photos of my outfits, so I'm treating you a 'lil bit, showing you what I look like without a sweater and a beanie. Crop tops never went out of style for me; my stomach has been hanging out freely since 1985. I grabbed this one in two colors from H&M last summer. I paired the short shirt with a knit … [Read more...]

My business, The Right Style, is where I store my confidence. Let's get real honest here: I became a skin care and image consultant because my mother was. She is an Executive Director with Beauticontrol, and she gave me the "gift" of my own business for my 18th birthday. Frankly, it was a gift I didn't want. I saw her business and her success and KNEW that I could never do that. So, for years, I ignored it. I use the products and have pretty great skin as a result, but when people asked me the inevitable question, "What do you use?" I would tell them Beauticontrol … [Read more...]

TRS Pick Marie Forleo

I have been totally MIA lately. I'm sorry! I haven't taken the time to sit in front of my computer and write and share with you and yell at you about my opinions. (I kid! I try not to yell.) My computer life is definitely still popping (are you following me on Twitter? Instagram? You should be!) but in a totally different way. I'm in business building mode and I have found one of my new business best friends and my TRS Pick: Marie Forleo. Marie says this about herself: I often say if Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, Oprah and Jay-Z had a love child, it would be … [Read more...]
