5 Things Everyone Can Wear

One of the most popular services I provide is closet styling. It is my favorite service because I love reinventing my client's wardrobes.

Many women think that they have nothing to wear when they open up their closet's but the truth is that most of the time they feel this way because they end up wearing the same pieces the same way and therefore only get 1 look instead of 3 or 4. My job is to make multiple outfits from the items they already have in their wardrobe. It is always surprising to my clients how they actually have many fashionable and up-to-date pieces.

If I see that they are missing some key items that they could use in their wardrobe, I put together a "Wishlist" of items to update their look to see them through the season.

The finds below are items that I normally put on the Wishlist if they don't have them already. Everyone can wear them! They are all universally flattering and will keep you in style for season after season.

Mellie's Pregancy Style // Milkshop Special

My best friend is pregnant with twins :) and I wanted to put together a look for her that she can wear with her growing belly as well as after she delivers the little bebes. So this is for you Mellie! I think it is about time you give a fedora a chance, you are gorgeous and can pull it off. 

Just a little blurb on my bestie Melissa Brown, she is an infant sleep consultant and family care counselor. She is incredible at getting babies on a schedule where they are sleeping thru the night within the first 6-8 weeks which in turn keeps mom and dad from yawning so much thru-out the day. But seriously, she is an incredible person with an amazing heart and is a pro at what she does. For more information on Sleepshop click here. 

***I am offering a special! If you book a package with Sleepshop, you will get 2 free hours of E-styling from Milkshop. Love you Mellie!

Dress your Feet

There's no denying my obsession with shoes. They can make an outfit go from OK to amazing. Kinda like the cherry on top of a sundae :) My favorites are the camel lace ups and the blue suede boots.

Sur La Table Cooking Class

another girl's night out :) // yippee!

Last Thursday 2 girl friends and I headed down to The Westchester Mall to take a cooking class at Sur La Table. I really had no idea what to expect but we were all so excited to be kid-free and had a couple glasses of wine before and showed up to class ready to Bobby Flay it up!

Once we got there we were greeted by Chef Ali Banks and her staff. They were incredibly friendly and showed up to our individual chairs that had our own aprons and name tags.

Pretty soon the room was filled with women and we were ready to cook! There was a beautiful array of cutlery, cookware, gadgets and food. There were moments when we would just look at each other and laugh because the chef would tell us to grab a utensil and we had no idea what it was... mandolin? LOL. Well now we know. 

We made Zucchini Fritters with Lemon Basil Cream, Moroccan Chicken Skewers with Herb Sauce, White Bean and Pancetta Bruschetta with Rosemary but my favorite was the  Butternut Squash and Stilton Tart. It was INSANELY DELICIOUS. We had a night of laughter, met new women and learned new recipes to bring home and impress the boys with. 

Chef Ali made everything really easy to learn as well as fun. She is such a sweet person and I cannot recommend her classes enough. You also get 15% off your purchase for taking the class and we made the most of that during our break. Check out the pictures attached (my friends and I can't take serious pictures sorry!).

The next GNO is October 3rd, so grab some girlfriends, your mom and/or sister and sign up!

Girl's Night Out Recap //

Last Thursday was one of the best Girl's Night Out's I've been at. So many people came out to The Westchester to celebrate and enjoy the delicious food and drinks being offered by our amazing vendors and sponsors... And of course, the fantastic spa services offered as well! 

It was so fun to meet all of you and chat with so many of you ladies that came out. The night ended with Kendra Porter of Honor You and me unveiling the 3 ladies that she made over for this special event.
