My friends, fall is almost upon us! (Well, maybe you wouldn’t know that if you’re still feeling the heat like we are in the DMV!) But that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare for those temps to go down! I love fall fashion because there are endless options – especially because you can layer! Let’s talk […]

Recently, I had the immense pleasure of being a guest on The DMV Business Show, hosted by Otto Sevilla! Otto interviews successful business owners and industry leaders local to the greater DC area.

If you had told me years ago that I would have a successful 13-year career traveling the world as a corporate fashion executive, I would have never believed you! But I’ve done it. Hundreds of my clients over the last 15 years have done it. And you can, too! Everything that led me here came […]
