People who visit the store always ask us about the bar in the middle of the store. It doesn't look like a typical bar because there are huge jars of sugar, salt and various butters. And, you can't help but notice that there are bottles of oils too. Then we explain that it is our organic scrub bar and people get excited.The experience is unlike anything else in St. Louis.

When the weather starts changing and layering becomes an option...I get excited. I love jackets, vests and accessories for fall. The texture of the fabrics and the styling of jackets and coats really makes me happy. When it came time to share with all of you the great things that we have in for fall we just couldn't resist giving you a list of all our favorite things from A-Z! In addition to

When financial times are tight it might seem like a really impractical time to spend money on clothes. However, you have to ask yourself if you look like a successful professional when you hit the office every day. The impact that your personal style has on your professional life may be more profound than you think.With lay-offs becoming the norm rather than the exception it is necessary to

I made a commitment recently to donate $10 from every pair of pink capri pants that we sell. Well, it's one thing to make the commitment and another to get the word out so that you can raise money and awareness. So, I wrote my blog and posted links on my website.I have a daily routine that I do to check and see how well my keywords are actually working. Today I went in and checked "products that

For those of you who read my blog regularly you will probably be shaking your head and wondering what has gotten into me. I mean, pink capri pants, what is that about? Well, it really is about something completely different than pink capri pants.I am so fortunate to be walking with a lovely group of women in the Race for the Cure. When I sent out my note to friends and family asking them for

Having a pair of black pants in your wardrobe can make getting dressed so much easier. Black pants go with any color, they can be casual or dressy and they are slimming when they fit well. I don't know of any woman who doesn't have a pair of black pants in her wardrobe. The question is, "Are they the best black pants for your body shape?"Black pants alone are not going to solve all of your

Oprah just did a show about the perfect black pants and white top. It is a great go-to outfit, but really just having the perfect black pants in your closet is more than half the battle. I mean everything goes with black pants!When I think of the perfect black pant here is what comes to mind:* they need to drape well, just skimming your body* you want a smoot profile so that you can wear your

The subject of what should be in your closet came up again today. When I say staples, I mean something that makes you feel really pulled together, something that allows you to look amazing in less than 5 minutes and something that won't look dated next season. There are a couple of staples that every woman would benefit from having regardless of her shape or style. Great jeans and the perfect

I'm one of those people that gets inspiration at the weirdest times. I was making my bed, after washing my sheets, and I really hate making my bed. But, I do love my sheets. I did this really eclectic thing and mixed and matched a variety of yummy sheets, blankets and pillow cases. It all works really well. So, I got a moment of pure pride that I am able to do something like buy random

Tomorrow is Earth Day and I've seen notices for all kinds of events for planting trees and recycling. All fabulous endeavors and helpful to our environment. But, we don't often think of beauty in terms of what it does to the environment.Go ahead and take a look at all of the beauty products that you use.

I had a fabulous conversation this morning with Cricket Lee. She is a pioneer in the field of sizing. If you are scratching your head and asking what the field of sizing is don't think you've missed something. When I say pioneer....I mean pioneer. The likes of The Wall Street Journal (click the link to see a short video featuring Cricket...be patient, it takes a minute to load), the Today Show (

This is a departure from what I normally write, but I would like to discuss "mommy jeans." I've seen a lot of them around lately and am wondering what's going on with these jeans. Just so we are clear, let me define "mommy jeans." These jeans are higher waisted (not a bad thing) and have a tapered leg (not usually a good thing). The combination of the high waist and tapered leg is what makes them

I went to an appointment today with a practitioner I see on a regular basis. When she walked out of her office I didn't recognize her. I think the first thing out of my mouth was, "Oh my God! You are gorgeous!" She had completely changed her hair....that's it.I oood and awed over her hair and had her turn and touched it. I just loved the way it made her look sassy and sexy.

The state of my closet is a direct reflection of what is going on in my life. When my closet looks organized and holds just the clothes that I am currently wearing...my life also seems to be organized and sailing along swimmingly. When my closet gets away from me and becomes chaotic I find that things in my life are also uncertain and crazy. I don't know which comes first....the closet or the

The other day was a beautiful, sunny afternoon in the 60's. I put the top down on my car and relished in the warm sunshine. The funny thing is that there was still snow on the ground from the 10 inches we received earlier in the week. Could it be any harder to get dressed during this season? This time of year is always a challenge. And, technically it is still Winter, but our minds and

I have to start this blog entry with a disclaimer. I absolutely do not believe that size matters when it comes to beauty. I think that if we put parameters around what beauty looks like that we end up with a society that has no flavor or diversity. We end up all looking the same. With that said...I want to talk about size and clothing.Here goes....I am 4'11" and range from a size 10-14 on any

This question comes up so often that I thought it was time to write about it. Women email me all the time asking what they should wear on a date. Almost every time I hear the same thing. Women tell me that they want to look sexy, but not too sexy. They want to look dressed up, but not like they tried too hard. They want to look like themselves, but better. If you've dated recently you are

I have been reading the book A New Earth. Yes, I jumped on the Oprah bandwagon and decided that it would be fun to be part of the biggest book club meeting ever! I have to admit, this is a hard read. I started the book and found that my mind was really wandering and had to start over. I am only to page 57 but something started to happening that I wanted to share with you.The part of the book that

I don't often write about specific products. If you read my blog very much you know that I spend a lot of time focusing on the inside and how it affects your appearance. That's why today's blog is quite a departure for me. I found something that you just have to know about.I like necklines that are lower. I think that I look thinner when I show more chest. However, I am a pretty well endowed

Since I started writing this blog I have said over and over that we have to be our own best friends, we have to love ourselves or we have to treat ourselves like we would the people in our lives. Everything that I write about is coming from experiences that I have recently had or conversations that I have been involved in or something in pop culture that triggers these thoughts. So, it isn't

The time has come that I will be traveling to a tropical destination with over 500 other people. Each year my husband's company has an award trip. The first year it was in Banff.

How do you feel when you look in the mirror? Do your eyes immediately travel to what you think are your flaws? Do you ever look in the mirror and see you as a whole? The good...the great....the unique?I find it interesting that we reduce ourselves to our parts. We look at our arms and wish that they didn't wiggle so much. We look at our tummies and remember when they were flat. And our breats! We

I think it hurt so much because someone commented on an outfit that I wore that they didnt' think was good for someone in my position.

I was going into the grocery store in late December when a lovely woman dressed in an animal print jacket and black slacks walked out. As I went by I told her that she looked fabulous! She was so cute...she was standing there waiting for her husband to pick her up. She took me over to the car and introduced me and told her husband what I said.

I have lived in St. Louis for almost 6 years. It is the longest that I have ever lived anywhere in one stretch (when from college to Mom and Dad's several times). The reason I tell you this is that it takes awhile to integrate into a community and figure out where you fit in. I have a few close girlfriends from high school and college. But, as an adult, I have not had a lot of girlfriends

In my many involvements in women's organizations, charity work and social events I have had the opportunity to meet numerous women who work from home. Let's face it, the home office is a huge reality of the 21st century workforce. The question is what to wear when you are working in a home office.I haven't met a woman yet who has told me that she gets up in the morning and gets ready just like

An interesting question that I get asked a lot is where do I shop. People want to know if I have favorite designers or boutiques. Most people assume that I do the majority of my shopping in high end department stores and small specialty stores. This assumption is based on the fact that I spend so much time immersed in the fashion industry.Well, I'm about to punch a hole in that illusion. I

You may have noticed that there hasn't been a blog for a couple of days. Donna and I were in Dallas at the apparel market. We have decided to carry clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories ourselves. While department stores have a lot to choose from, they just don't serve the needs of all our members. Therefore, we decided to go right to the source and get what our members want directly. I'll

I recently discovered a brand of make up that sells everything for $1.00. That's not a typo....they really do sell everything for a dollar. Now, I think that you can find some treasures in dollar stores. But, for the most part...it's stuff that no one wanted to buy at regular price. I expected the same to be true for the $1.00 makeup. But, what did I have to lose ($1?) to try it out!!I ordered

The tides have finally turned. I am so ecstatic to report that there is a style show about the inside first and then the outside. The Lifetime Network and Carson Kressley have hit it out of the ballpark with their new show How to Look Good Naked.Donna watched the first episode and couldn't say enough wonderful things about it. I just hadn't gotten around to watching it until last night (thank God

I was speaking to a woman this morning who said something so moving that I wanted to share it with you all. This is a woman who I have great admiration for and she is 150% heart. So, when this conversation started it frustrated me for a minute. We were talking about my company, http://www.anatomyofstyle.com/, moving into the retail sector.I was giving her the low down on what Donna and I expect

We talk a lot about style in terms of clothing, hair, makeup and accessories. But, is there such a thing as an exercise style? Is the form of exercise that we choose saying something about who we are? I think that the answer is...Yes, absolutely.My mother started a line dancing class as a form of exercise. It is a perfect reflection of who she is and her personal style. She is fun, light and

This weather is doing a real number on my skin. Keeping it from being dry and chapped is a challenge when the wind blows and it is so cold. Especially after skiing over the Christmas holiday. Since I have been hearing the same thing from women all over the country, I thought that I would share with you how I am overcoming the winter dull skin syndrome.If you have every had a microdermabrasion

Last Friday I attended an EWomen Network luncheon and the speaker was Cindy Erickson of Innolect, Inc. She talked to us about women in the workforce and compared it to the play Wicked.If you have seen the play then you know that the message is that things are not always what they seem. We have to look behind the curtain and find the truth. The truth is that women are still not equal in the

When you think of beauty, what comes to mind? Is it the features of a person...their accessories...the way they dress? It could be a combination of things that makes them beautiful. We do tend to look at beauty as a surface thing. If we want to look more beautiful we will get a new outfit or try something different with our hair. I had an experience today that proved to me that beauty is much

Donna and I will be announcing soon the release of our new program, "The Secrets of Mastering Personal Style". We have found that there are definite things that women (who have fantastic personal style) do, think, feel and wear. We have seen patterns emerge over the years as we have worked with women one on one. We are finally in a position to bring that information to you.I am so excited about

I know...it is crazy to spend time watching something as mindless as Cashmere Mafia. But, I watch these shows with you, the women who follow our blog, in mind. I want to see what Hollywood thinks fabulous, stylish women (in the real world) wear. So, last night I sat down and watched the ABC pilot of Cashmere Mafia about 4 executive women in New York.I found it interesting that the women depicted

My mailbox is overflowing with sale fliers right now!! January is when the stores are getting rid of all the winter merchandise so that they can bring in the Spring lines. It seems that the retail industry has gotten more and more anxious about getting merchandise for the next season out. So, if you are looking for something to wear right now (while it is still cold outside), then you will

I get a couple dozen magazines every month. Ihave great intentions when I stack them next to my chair. I think that I will sit down and relax in the evenings and pour through all those glossy pages. However, things get crazy and I've only read a few pages when something comes up. If I manage to get through an entire issue and find things that I want to go back to, I add the magazine back to the

We spend a lot of time sharing information with you about personal style and trends....really anything that we think would interest and benefit you. Over the last few months we have asked various people what they would like to see on our website. We have tried to respond to the requests that we have gotten by developing a plan for the next 6 months.Each month we will have a specific topic that we

I am so excited that I get the opportunity to spend the Christmas holiday in Keystone, Colorado. Skiing is one of the things that I love most in life. It makes me feel like I could reach out and touch God when I stand on the top of a mountain. The majesty, freshness and openness are things that you just cannot get in any other setting. Of course, thousands of other people decided to spend their

Well, the year has come to an end. You are looking at one more night out before it is completely over. You have a glitzy affair to go to and you are in that place that you have found yourself so many times before. What are you going to wear?I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I get asked about what to wear to a formal affair. It seems that women are tired of the "little black dress".

I can't help but think about giving seeing that it is the Christmas season. I have been sending cards, running out for a last minute gift, getting together with friends and writing thank you notes. While looking at the pile of gifts on our counter from various friends and co-workers, it got me to thinking about how your style is reflected in the gifts that you give.We went out last night with a

I always ask men what they think is the most attractive thing about a woman. A very large percentage of them say the eyes. I tend to agree that eyes are an important factor in our appearance. I mean, whenever you have a conversation, someone is looking into your eyes. It should be the focal point of almost any human interaction (well, publicly anyway ;).Obviously, we were born with our eyes and

Every day women ask me questions about their personal style. Whether it is casually in a store or formally through a request on our website....women trust my opinion. So, when a woman asked me why I am an expert, I thought it was a great question. It also interests me that more women don't ask this question.I have the formal training that would indicate that I have some knowledge in the area

I am going to a Rams football game tonight. Standing in my closet this morning, I was faced with the same challenge that some woman faces every minute of every day, somewhere! What was I going to wear tonight.I should probably preface this by saying that I am not a big sports fan. My husband gets tickets through his company and we take business associates to various sporting events. So, I have to

Hair...this is a favorite topic among women. We try to decide whether we are going to grow it, cut it, color it, wear it up, wear it down or even extend it!! I find that one of the questions that we are asked most often by our members is, "What hairstyle best suits me?" Well, as much as I would love to answer that question in this blog, it just isn't possible. Why? There are way too many answers

It was cold and snowy yesterday, so Donna and I decided to go have tea. There is a fabulous little tea room that opened in downtown St. Louis called The London Tea Room. It was just the sort of day to have a warm cup of holiday tea and a scone.The atmosphere was perfect for reminiscing. We talked about our favorite holiday memories, the fun times that we have had with friends and of course, our

As I was leaving the massage therapist yesterday, the woman who was taking my payment said that her 18 year old daughter had asked for a "stylish" purse. We got into a conversation about what is stylish versus trendy. This is truly a thought provoking question. When women say that they want to be "in style".....what exactly does that mean? Do they want to be in someone elses style, do they want

It happens to every one of us. We wake up and even though we have good intentions of having a fabulous day....we just feel blue. We try to "buck up" and put on a smile, but it feels forced. We don't want to feel down. We like feeling good. I mean, who doesn't like that tingle of excitment and that feeling of well-being when things are going your way? But, sometimes it feels out of our control. So

This blog is a little on the lighter side. It is the holiday season and there are soooo many parties to attend. At every single one of them I have someone tell me that they just didn't know what to wear. It is one of the most common issues that women have.

Its inevitable...if you use email to any degree, you are going to get forwarded jokes and inspirational emails from friends and family. Since the majority of our business is done via the internet, I spend an inordinate amount of time on the computer. I get and delete hundreds of these forwarded emails every day.

I don't watch a lot of television, but we recently got DVR and I have started recording a number of programs I wished that I could watch. Those nights that I can't sleep or just need to veg, I can choose from a list of programs that I always wanted to get into.
