Color! It has meaning; from the power & sexiness of red, to the happy optimism of yellow. How about the chic coolness of black or the serene calm of sky blue? Color inspires us, empowers us & expresses our personality!
Color is special like a wonderful dress for a big night out, like the slinky blue number with gold embellishments in this week’s “Cobalt Cool” video.
Let’s talk about being trendy and classic at the same time ladies. Animal prints are where it’s at. Have you ever been stuck in a rut? Opened your closet and been bored or uninspired? It’s time to unleash your bold self in cool, accessible animal prints. From leopard to cheetah to zebra, these prints are timeless classics but never boring. You’ll exude confidence and power. All it takes is a little bit of courage to try something new.
Is “bold” a dirty word to you? Do you think it’s bad to be bold? When you were little, did your mother tell you, “Don’t run! Be careful, you may fall.” Or did your father say “Children should be seen and not heard.” Well ladies, that day has past. Being bold is modern. Being bold is about meeting life’s everyday challenges and looking beautiful doing it. It’s not an attitude; it’s a mindset.
Who doesn’t love black and white?! Some looks exist beyond trend and are so classic that you don’t think of one without the other. It’s like milk and cookies. Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Peanut butter and jelly. Abbott and Costello. Black and white. (Do you have any to add? Comment below!)
Wearing all black can be harsh. It immediately evokes images of too fashion-y. Too dressy. Or perhaps you are trying too hard to be hip. Wearing all white can be too pure. Too hard to maintain. And of course not appropriate for all year round.

How excited am I to be a part of the Midnight Velvet family? Two years ago my dear friend, make-up artist extraordinaire Maureen Burke, introduced me to the team at Midnight Velvet. Maureen has worked with MV for years as their Makeup Artist as well as the judge and beauty expert for the makeover contest Midnight Velvet once had. She’d also been trying to bring MV & I together. Maureen knew my TV work and thought the addition of a fashion stylist to the makeover contest would be exciting. Talk about a match made in heaven! Coming up this fall, you’re going to see me offering style tips & ideas in a series of videos. The first video introduces this amazing partnership with me.
