By Rosana Vollmerhausen A question I often get from clients interviewing me is if I shop only at Saks and Nieman’s. The answer is… no and no. As a personal stylist/shopper, my clients are real people with jobs, families, busy lives and real-world budgets. Living and working in the DC area, even those clients that… Continue Reading Spring Essentials That Won’t Break the Bank
Yesterday I had a conversation with Karl about personality traits we inherited from our parents, what Emerson has inherited from us. Emerson likes to keep her room clean, rarely (though more the older and more independent she becomes) bickers when we ask her to put away her toys before going to bed or out to… Continue Reading Fighting Against Nature: How Not to Be a Mess
Hi everyone I saw my orthopedist this week, and they said that my radius is healing nicely. They x-rayed, and he saw fuzziness, which meant bone was growing, fusing my radius back together. I go back to see the doctor in two weeks, and if all goes well, I may graduate to a short cast!… Continue Reading Life Lately Dealing with My Broken Arm

I wore denim blazers last time they were popular and need ideas on how to look new. Thanks! When I started this blog… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Styling a Chambray Blazer
By Lexa Lemieux The past several months I have drastically revamped my makeup routine. I had been doing the same things for years. Unfortunately, the same old was not working for my changing face. At 33-years-old, I know I am far from old (my nose stud tends to agree!), but with the appearance of fine… Continue Reading Drugstore Makeup Faves
Well, hello there, everyone, from the snowy Washington, DC, region! I’m heading into my third week with my broken arm. Last week, I was approved for six weeks of short-term disability. Today, I was supposed to go to the orthopedicist for my checkup, but with the ice and snow we got last night and today,… Continue Reading Allie Update: Broken Arm
Sorry but black is NOT flattering to most women especially those of us who are of a certain age, have silver or gray hair and drier skin. I find it frustrating that you constantly recommend black when the majority of your audience would look atrocious in such a shade. What if you cannot wear black… Continue Reading Wardrobe Staples: An Alternative to Basic Black
