Book Review: Knowing Your Value by Mika Brzezinski
This is hands down one of the most important books I have read regarding how women can close the wage gap. All thanks to a remarkable friend and client whom I met by being a Best Buy Omega (Chapter 5). Before you consider this to be way off topic for an image consultant/personal shopper, know that the number one reason I decided to start Fabuliss was to create more diversity at leadership levels. I am so over the status quo having all the power and money. Got it? OK, let’s...
Read MoreOne Karina Dress, Multiple Options
I was thrilled to discover Karina Dresses, a company that designs dresses for women of all ages and body types. They generously shared the Marisa Dress, pictured above, to try on and share my thoughts with Fabuliss fans. Since I know you love to see different ways to wear things, here goes! Casual Summer The dress, by itself, is perfect for a casual warm-weather look, accompanied by a bold necklace and fun shoe. For travel – I could easily wear this and bring a wrap on the plane...
Read MoreJoan Steffend’s Story Is My Story Too
Have you heard? Joan Steffend is now an author! I know of Joan through her work at KARE 11. I have talked to Joan, from a distance, via my appearance on her My Talk 107.1 show, Get Real Girls. And yesterday, I got to meet Joan in person at the Northwest Community Television station, where she taped a segment of In Our Town with host Elaine Hall. First of all, if you have never met or talked to Joan, she is incredibly down to earth and she looks amazing (especially in the powder blue jacket...
Read MoreGood Bye Ironing, Hello Steaming
I despise ironing. No, really. I have a huge list of things I would rather be doing than ironing. And the lackluster results of a $50 iron and new ironing board are a constant reminder of my frustration. A few years ago, I bought a handheld version and thought “wow, this is what all the buzz is about?” Needless to say, the results were pretty awful. But, I decided to keep an open mind and had more conversations with people who really love their steamers. Enter, my new...
Read MorePajama Jeans Review, Part 3…a.k.a. Final Recommendation
Welcome to Part 3, the final installment of my Pajama Jeans review (and check out Part 1 and Part 2 if you need to catch up). Note: the Pajama Jeans hem is folded under for the purposes of my review; they are 4-5″ too long. And I am not wearing any body shaping underwear (for better or for worse). These “jeans,” which may be better described as comfy pants, are indeed comfortable. Per the commercial, they have a soft lining and are stretchy. BUT the sloppy leg is unforgiving...
Read MoreFabuliss Review: Pajama Jeans, Part 2
Now that we have established these exist, it is time to reveal how they look on, as well as compare them to my favorite jeans – DKNY’s SOHO petite jeans. I recorded the video prior to looking at the photos. Part 3 of this unsolicited review will be my final recommendation. { Fabuliss helps you earn confidence and respect by teaching you how to communicate with style.
