Are you game for vintage style?
I have rule around here about never wearing vintage too literally when it’s a style that YOU wore in its first style outing as it seriously dates you… in other words, makes you look o-l-d.

Hello Gorgeous,
Thanks for taking the time to stop by FocusOnStyle, the fashion blog site online since 1999. I'm the founder, editor in chief and resident fashion expert with over 25 years experience in the fashion biz as a stylist, syndicated fashion advice columnist, and web entrepreneur, and your style mentor to master everyday can-do chic!
I founded FocusOnStyle.com as a web site platform where anyone can get expert tips on how to make the most of what they've got... long before the term "fashion blog" became part of our language.
Can-do chic!
That's right, reality chic. We're not about gushing over celebrity style or preening over what one of us is wearing, but using style icons, from wherever they may be, as a launch point to help YOU tweak to chic to bring red carpet fashion to your closet, in a way that makes sense for YOU!
We look at fashion shows and provide runway reviews to inspire you to stay on top of your game, because as a New Yorker, I personally know that looking modern is the best revenge!
Style shouldn't have an expiration date...
We know that great style is not only for teenyboppers, and age-appropriate fashion doesn't mean dowdy. Consider FOS as a go-to resource to help you wear (almost) anything at any age with high, yet definable style that suits your lifestyle on any budget... cheap chic to extraordinary!
More so, what's a great wardrobe without some informative beauty tips and easy hairstyle how-to's? We got you gorgeous, from head to toe!
Besides having you look incredible, we have great periodic interior design tips because what's the point of looking so good and coming home to a tan macrame couch throw? All kidding aside, a fantastic home style is part of a gorgeous lifestyle.
Yes, simple, perfect style can be yours.
If you need professional stylist advice, well, you've come to the right place. Don't be afraid to ask. Simply ring us up on our fashion advice contact page and we will do our best to advise you or share your question in one of our editorials. Please don't forget my team of expert Contributors , are all here to share their insider secrets too.
You've been inspired, so it's time to acquire what you desire in one of our editor-selected shopping guides. From the top fashion trends to stylish low heel shoes, we've got you covered.
I'd love it if you JOIN our free newsletter- you don't want to miss out do you?
Pretty, sexy chic is the NEW fabulous, and it's right at FocusOnStyle.com, EST. 1999.
Best,
