The unconditional love of a dog

No Comments

If you are new here let me just tell you I love dogs, all shapes and sizes.

These are my 2 that we just lost in the last 6 months.

William we lost in February and Lucy late June.

This is one of my favorite pictures and makes me so happy whenever I look at it.

I am completely heartbroken but am trying to remember all the happy times. We had them both 12 wonderful years.

Nothing can really prepare you for the loss of a pet. No matter what you do it is pretty much like having your heart ripped out.

So I just wanted you to know that if you have lost a pet I completely understand and am heartbroken for you.

And if you still have one I consider it a perk of my job to give all your dogs some extra attention and pets when I work with you!

I did a full post on Instagram of each of my sweet pups if you want to see more.

Style doesn’t have to be complicated…

No Comments

Guess what?

Style doesn’t have to be complicated!

Do you feel stuck in your wardrobe? I’m here to help you discover your style again…

So how does it work? What are the goals of a closet edit?

-Get rid of clothes that no longer work for you.

-Evaluate what you need for your current lifestyle.

-Identify your best colors and styles.

-Shop your closet and create over 10 outfit combinations using what you already have.

-Make a shopping list of any items you are missing.

The most important thing is to discover what colors, patterns and styles you love and help you express your style!

Are you ready? I’m here to help.

Let’s pack for your next trip…it doesn’t need to be stressful.

No Comments

Are you planning a trip in the next few months? Could you use a little help?

I have been helping my clients get ready for lots of fun getaways lately… Italy, Paris, England.

But do you know what all these women have in common?

They all struggle with the same things when packing for a big trip. And many times fall into habits like panic shopping to try to make sure they have something to wear that they feel good in. 

I’m here to tell you that with a little planning you can eliminate all this unnecessary stress.

Here is how I help my clients pack:

-We look at the weather forecast for the trip.

-We look at the itinerary and how many daytime outfits vs. night you may need.

-We look at what size suitcase you will be taking.

Next:

-We gather a “capsule” of certain colors so that your looks will easily mix and match.

-Then you try on everything to make sure it fits and you feel good in it.

(This part is crucial to not over packing or having a last minute panic)

-Then we mix and match different looks and add accessories to get even more outfit combinations.

-And then I take photos of all the combinations so my clients have them as reference.

-We set aside any alterations or dry cleaning so those are taken way ahead of the trip.

-Then make a list of any pieces still needed. Once those pieces arrive we incorporate into the outfits.

-Any returns are set aside to be dealt with before the trip.

How would it feel to have your suitcase packed and ready ahead of time for your next trip?

I get to help people when they need it most!

I was talking with one of my favorite clients the other day. She is having a really hard time due to some health issues with her husband.

She is now in an expedited timeline to sell her house and move and she is in her 80s.

She is such a strong independent lady and I am constantly amazed by her strength with all she has gone through. But when I showed up for our appointment this was the first time in years I have seen her looking so lost and defeated.

We talked everything through and I assured her it was all going to work out. And then we discussed how she has been working with me for years and has always kept her smaller house neat and tidy with de -cluttering projects over the years.

This is what makes her situation WAY less overwhelming. The amount of stuff and decisions she has to make is still hard but manageable.

This really made me think about how important your home is during these difficult circumstances and life transitions.

Even doing small tasks to keep things tidy leads to much less overwhelm during stressful times.

Could you use some help?

I’m here to make things easier for you.

It’s almost October…Fall is here!

No Comments

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year!

Fall is a great time to add those extra touches to make your home feel cozy and welcoming.

So how do I help clients do that?

-Spruce up the front porch with some faux or fresh pumpkins, a pretty flower pot arrangement and a fresh door mat.

-Style your entryway with some beautiful autumn tones. I love velvet pumpkins mixed with colored glass, metal and faux flowers. And don’t forget the twinkle lights.

-Layer your living room with cozy blankets and throw pillows perfect for a movie night at home.

-Add as many twinkle lights and candles as you can and you will be amazed how this makes you feel calmer and more relaxed.

-And don’t forget to organize your tea and coffee so you can grab a cup and curl up with a good book.

These things not only make your house feel better but you are ready for guests at a moments notice!
