dressing for summer parties

Posted on by caraadmin
  Welcome May!  Here in Ohio it seems to have gone straight from winter to summer, and I can't say I'm upset by it at all! It was a long, cold winter, and people are emerging from their winter hibernation and are ready to socialize!   With the start of summer comes the invitations to parties - and often, it can be confusing on what to wear!  I broke down party attire into 3 ...

spring shopping list

Posted on by caraadmin
Spring weather SHOULD be here soon (come on, Ohio weather!!!), which means retiring our sweaters, jeans and boots for the season!  In anticipation of sunshine and warmer days, I went through my own spring and summer clothes in my closet this weekend. Like I always do for my clients, I start off the season taking inventory of my closet, and come up with a shopping list.  No time or room in my cl...

Shopping for Swimwear

Posted on by caraadmin
I know it may sound crazy, but I ALWAYS start shopping for swimwear in the winter each year!  Even though I potentially won't be wearing the swimsuits for months (with the exception of spring break vacations!), I like to check out the swim trends and have a good selection of swimwear with sizes FULLY STOCKED.  Because I ultimately buy a swimsuit based on fit, I like to have my choice when it c...

We had a taste of spring temperatures this week, so I have to think spring is just around the corner!  Whether you live somewhere warm, are traveling for spring break, or just have spring clothes on your mind, I have rounded up a few of my favorite spring trends for this year.   This season it's all about color!  From brights to pastels and mixing it all together, you'll find your favor...

Spring Break inspiration

Posted on by caraadmin
It's always fun to shop for resort wear - especially when it's cold and snowy outside!  Bathing suits and cover-ups are on my mind, as I have several clients who are heading south for some sunshine and salty air in the next few weeks.  Here are some pictures I found of gorgeous beach looks (and pieces that you can shop to recreate the look yourself!) to inspire you when packing for your next v...

2018 pantone color of the year

Posted on by caraadmin
via Pantone has announced the 2018 color of the year, and as in years past, I imagine it will influence all things from fashion to beauty to home decor.  We previously discussed the colors of the year for 2017, 2016, (2015 was "Marsala" and ugly so we didn't post about it!), 2014, 2013, and 2012.  We've been at this for a long time!   This year the Pantone color of the year is..... ...

shopping the sales

Posted on by caraadmin
Hello 2018! The holidays have come and gone, and the retailers are slashing prices in order to make room for resort wear (!!!).  The new year is a time when I usually take inventory of my basics and make notes on what needs to be updated when I find something I like (this is also something I do for clients during my Closet ReStyle!).  We still have a lot of winter left to go, so this is one of ...

what to wear for the holidays

Posted on by caraadmin
It can be tricky to try and plan outfits for holiday events.  They seem to come up quickly, all have different dress codes ("festive!" "holiday chic!"), and it can be overwhelming to come up with different outfit ideas instead of wearing the same thing to every party.  I've put together some looks that involve items other than classic dresses and black pants.  Hopefully you have some items similar...

gift guide 2017

Posted on by caraadmin
I am a planner, and I like to get my Christmas shopping done early (as in before December!) so that I can enjoy the activities and craziness that the month brings without stressing over gift giving.  Because of that, I decided to put together my list of "favorite things" early this year!  Some of these are tried-and-true favorites, some are on my wish list.  But for anyone looking for inspiration ...

winter prep

Posted on by caraadmin
image via It seems we jumped straight from summer to winter (as seems to always happen in Ohio), and now I'm pulling out all of my coats and winter accessories in a hurry!  Coats can last season after season, and considering they're something you'll wear every day, this is a category I like to tell clients to invest in.  From puffy coats to anoraks to dress coats, all have a place in winter.  H...
