I will be presenting a workshop called
"The Power of Looking Your Best"
Sunday, January 24 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm
at Nature's Spa and Retreat
161 Swanson Road, Nanaimo

Explore how to express yourself confidently through your own personal style. Discover the best clothes for your body shape, learn shopping strategies that fit your lifestyle and budget, and what to look for when trying new colour combinations. Accessorize with flare and get that feeling that comes with looking great and knowing it!

This is a great way to start the new year with a new look!

Fall Fashion is Here!!

It’s that time of year again...we are about to enter our longest fashion season, Fall!

This is the fashion season where investment pieces are purchased and low cost trends are added for fun.

Here's a few trends that will keep you looking current this season...pick a few to add to your own personal style :

STYLES: The 40’s & the 80’s, Menswear, Classic Tailored, Mix & Match
PRINTS: Paisley, Plaid & Stripes
FABRICS: Satin, Lace, Faux Fur, Sequins & Intricate Knits
COLOURS: Purple, Pink, Red & Midnight Blue (all in saturated hues)

With the summer heat comes the need to lighten up our fashion choices, for work and play. Although I don’t recommend spending a lot of money on Summer clothes, I do encourage adding a few new pieces to your Summer wardrobe each year. Have fun and enjoy the season while it’s here.

Here’s my three top picks of the season and how to make them play nice with your other summer clothes.

It's finally feeling like Spring is in the air... and since it is April and the weather is warming we should be reaching for our warm weather wear - not our dreary winter garb. I know it is not quite summer and we still have some chilly days ahead, but that is no excuse to not lighten up a bit :) Spring is a transition season and there is a few wardrobe essentials that will take you through the unsettled weather.

. Light cardigans in spring colours - wear them over long or short sleeve t-shirts or collared shirts, add a scarf for colour and warmth

I have recently moved to Nanaimo, BC to raise my family and continue my image consulting business. So far I am loving Island life and looking forward to growing my business and getting involved in the community.

If you are in the Nanaimo area visit our booth at the:

West Coast Women’s Show - March 7&8
Beban Park Auditorium, Nanaimo

I will be showcasing my services all weekend at the show and making a presentation about “Dressing for Your Body Shape” on Sunday Mar. 8 at 1:30 pm.

This is one lesson that I have had to learn over and over again. Obviously I have never won the lottery or had the Publishers Clearing House come to my door, but I would bet that even if I had, this rule would still apply - for some reason there is no way around it. I have a wonderful life and have been blessed in many ways, but I can honestly say that nothing that I value today ever came to me in a "too good to be true" package, all those things slipped through the cracks and left only disspointment in their path. So I will take good and I will take true ...but not too good :)

I will use this blog as a journal of things that I know to be true, quotes that inspire me and anything else that I think might make someone smile, think, improve, act, create, change, contemplate...you get the idea.

I will start with a couple of my favourite quotes that I use to "check" myself with. Enjoy!

"whatever is done or undone out of fear is wrong"
Unkown

"Let your manners speak, your deeds prove and you delivery impress"
Yogi Tea
