Impromptu Madness with Sharon Haver and Brad Boles- Travel Wardrobe Tips, Episode 5

For this week's look back post to celebrate the 15th anniversary of FocusOnStyle online and with Memorial Day travel upon us, I thought it would be fun to watch this early Impromptu Madness deskside video about travel wardrobe tips that Brad Boles and I shot in 2010.   The lighting is awful and so is my hair, but the video is cute and right on the money for this weekend.   It feels like only yesterday that we shot this. I even remember where we went for lunch. Time flies. Enjoy! --S.H. A little video chit chat with Sharon & Brad: How to Look Chic When Traveling Sharon and Brad talk housewife to housewife: Don't want to look like a discombobulated tourist when traveling?

A video message from me to you…

Happy New Year 2014 video message from Sharon Haver
Happy New Year Wishes… 2014 and new resolutions have begun as today heralds the start of a new year ahead and a new you… Never say never. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY as a total city girl I never thought that one day I would have a foothold in the Cowboy State! Yes, the teen who once went hiking in platform snakeskin stilettos (cousins, do you remember?) spends a chunk of the year out west. How lucky is my son to have the best of both worlds being a New Yorker who also has the Grand Teton a few minutes from his vacation place?  I call my winter time out west my White Space, where I chill (literally) and regroup

The wedges all-over grommets, unique tabs and sculpted heels also gave those looking for a theatrical flat(if there ever was one), a run for their money. Paired with a bare leg
