Rest to Resurrect
Hi There,
I hope this Good Friday finds you in good spirits and health, despite all of the heaviness surrounding us.
During this time of quarantine, I’ve been forced to confront my life long struggle of being still.
There’s No Limit to Amazing
Hi There,
Yesterday my good friend and life coach Shannon and I were practicing some social distancing while taking a walk in the park. The sun was shining, the blue birds and cardinals were chirping, and the flowers were blooming. While taking in all of Mother Nature’s beauty and discussing current events (personal and political), Shannon said something that stopped me in my tracks: “There’s no limit on amazing.”
The Courage to be Unforgettable
Hello There!
I’ve missed you! I trust that you’re taking care of yourself and are in good health. The reason you haven’t heard from me in months is that I’ve been focused on writing my first book. Part memoir, part style guide, The Worthy Wardrobe will help you build a wardrobe that honors your soul. Now that the book is almost complete, I’m ready to publish and I am asking for your support.
What Opportunities is 11/11 Preparing You For?
Hi There,
Today is a magical day! There’s a lot of spiritual and astrological significance to this date of November 11th. What’s special about it for me is that 11/11 as a number is a reminder of the many doorways of opportunity that surround us, inviting us to take the steps needed to walk through them and build the future that we envision for ourselves.
What These Past 3 Years Have Taught Me
Three years ago last week, I made a BIG change. I left the security of my corporate gig and made the life-changing, soul stretching leap into entrepreneurship. The past three years have been a helluva ride. I’ve met so many interesting people, visited several companies and countries and found a sense of self I didn’t know was possible To commemorate these past few years, here are 3 values that helped me make it this far:
Have You Been Imagining Worse?
Hi There,
I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday weekend! A few weeks ago I took a long over due vacation to Barbados. I loved everything about the island: the beaches, the people, the food and the rum punch. Taking a break from my business and seeing all of the surrounding beauty really helped me see a lot of things differently, including myself.
It’s Time to Shed Your Grave Clothes
A few Sunday’s ago, my pastor encouraged us to “take our grave clothes off and start living life to the fullest.” Of course, whenever and wherever the topic of clothes comes up, I take notes.
What’s Your Bra Saying About You?
Hello There,
Tomorrow’s International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate all of the amazing contributions women make to our world. And the hands down most influential woman in my world is my mom.
Cleaning Out the Closets
I know it’s been a LONG time since you’ve heard from me.
I’ve been busy cleaning out A LOT of closets. Some were literal closets of new clients, others were my own figurative closets.
Thoughts Become Things
Newsflash: What you believe is what you experience in the world. Have you been carrying the belief that your body is “impossible” to dress? That nothing ever works because your (fill in the blank) body part is too (fill in the blank). By holding on to that belief, you are actually creating that reality. Thoughts become things, so the more negative you think about finding clothes that flatter your shape, the harder it becomes.
It’s time for a new belief. And a new reality. 
Let’s Break Free in 2019!
Happy New Year!
Every year I like to set an intention for the year. It’s an area I want to focus on, resulting in manifestations that are in accordance with that theme. And I must admit, in 2018 I didn’t do such a great job choosing. My intention was discipline, because I wanted to really get “tough” with myself in my business. And toughness is exactly what I got.
Give Yourself the Gift of Body Love

A Present for You on My Birthday
This Friday, I turn 35. Wow. I’m officially middle-aged. While this past year has had its ups, downs, losses and gains, there’s one thing I’ve done that I’m really proud of: I’ve shown up.
If You Can’t Commit, Don’t Click
I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and heeded my advice of staying away from the malls. Now with Cyber Monday ahead, I wanted to provide you with my top 3 tips to make the most of online shopping.
Don’t Buy Dumb Stuff This Black Friday
Hello There, You may be surprised to know that this is my least favorite time of year to go shopping. It’s during this time that I no longer have my happy place (the mall) to myself. I especially loathe Black Friday.
Have You Thought About 2019 Yet?
If you’re anything like me, you too feel that 2018 has totally flown by. This past month, I’ve had some amazing opportunities: styling my first show for New York Fashion Week, hosting a shopping event for a celebrity golf tournament, walking a few red carpets and speaking to audiences about the impact image has on income. Life has definitely been good! And I am so thankful for each opportunity and new friend I’ve made along the way.
The Monday Blues
Back when I worked in corporate merchandising, my Monday Blues would start around 6pm on Sunday. That’s when I would open the weekend selling reports and instantly what next day’s vibes were going to be in the office. One of the ways I channeled that nervous energy was by outfit-prepping. Think of it as meal-prepping for your closet instead of your fridge.
Higher Learning
With the “back to school” spirit in the air, I’ve been on a mission to learn how to become healthier, smarter and happier.
What Are You Breaking Free From This Independence Day?
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of taking in all that New York city has to offer, working with some incredible new clients and preparing for some exciting presentations. During this time, many women have shared with me specific style “rules” that influence their personal style:
Have You Been Living On Purpose?
It’s officially summer time, the midpoint of the year when we can review what we’ve done and where we’re headed. The past six months have been transformative for me. Wider Style has grown from being just a change in business name to the vehicle through which I empower women to love themselves just as they are. By not letting my visibility fears stop me from walking in my purpose, I have evolved into the business owner, stylist, speaker and woman I am today. Of course there have been challenges, but I finally feel like I’m no longer just showing up, but am finally standing out in the way I was destined to.
You Are Just as Gorgeous As Princess Meghan
So, a wedding happened this weekend. And while I of course enjoyed seeing what everyone wore, the moment that most resonated with me was when Harry looked at his bride and said, “You look amazing, I am so lucky.” Of course Meghan looked absolutely breathtaking, but I truly believe that comment was about more than her dress. The absolute love that was in his eyes proved that behind the dress, the tiara, the makeup, he saw HER, all of her, in her truest form. This is what fairy tales really are all about.
