We All Need Some! The Costume Institute’s, Camp: Notes on Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Costume Institute’s spring 2019 exhibition, Camp: Notes on Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Without a little twinkle, some pizzazz, that certain something that makes us smile, or some camp in our lives it would all be so very boring. I visited the Costume Institute’s spring 2019 exhibition, Camp: Notes on Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier.  It certainly added a sparkle to my day and will do the same for you. Here's a sneak peek of the exhibition (photos do not do it justice) before tonight's Met Gala, co-hosted by Lady Gaga and Harry Styles, sponsored by Gucci and spearheaded by Ana Wintour.

This week's look back post to celebrate the 15th anniversary of FocusOnStyle online, tackles the conundrum I face every day and you may too if you are an entrepreneur... what to wear when you work from home. Ya know, how to pull yourself together when no on really sees you and you still need to feel both great about yourself and comfy. Besides, get it together in a flash for when you need to look professional on a Skype or a fast meeting. I've been deep with my team working on the bountiful (I over delivered 10x) assets for the C'est Chic Crash Course (you've signed up to join me, right?) and have to admit that I've been spending a lot of

Yes, I’m telling you to wear ugly shoes! Spring Comfort Shoes are not just for the schlumpy set

Spring comfort shoes mark a trend that's worth taking from the runway... Finally, in style and practical options are here! Ok, some will call them ugly. Let's just say they're stylishly ugly (how's that for a fashionable oxymoron?). After years of seeing girlfriends in freakishly tall platform heels and wearing confining yet proper shoes myself, I for one am on board with what's been coming down the runway, and you should be too. Might I add, this is one throwback I'm willing to try as the comfort shoe trend is just as easy as it sounds. >>Back to Basics: The Return of The Chic Sneaker Back in the 90's, it was a big departure from my preppy phase to go

As seen on Digital Stylist Network Spotlight: Sharon Haver

 >> Original Source  >> MORE: Media Mentions Q. When women shop on their own, what's their biggest mistake? A. It’s not the shoe. Not the bag. Not the color. It’s the way you put it all together. On FocusOnStyle.com , I always provide a takeaway tip so anyone can understand how to “get” the look for themselves rather than just get it in a store. There’s an understanding of the elements & why they work that’s more important than a greedy need of having the latest thing. I call that "I'll Have What She's Having" where I break down how & why a look works so you can tweak it for yourself. Q. Before someone hires a stylist, what are the top three things they should ask?

Richard turned the table for my take on Parisian Style Tips

A surprise party that Richard threw for me, back in the day!
Most of you know Richard Nahem as our Paris insider. He runs the very successful Parisian style & what to do in Paris blog Eye Prefer Paris when he's not taking a lucky few around the Marais for one of his personalized walking tours over at Eye Prefer Paris Tours. BUT, I've known Richard forever. Way back from a high school spring break trip to Florida kind of forever. We met while sitting it out on a fiberglass bench while bored to death at Jai-Alai and have disco-ed our way as friends ever since. (Secret: Richard can identify almost any disco song from the first three beats). This time, Richard turned the tables on me as he knows what a French
