Fashionable Friend Friday

I am so excited about this week’s Fashionable Friend Friday choice!  It is the incredible Joan Juliet Buck, former Editor of French Vogue, ooh la la!!!  I was lucky enough to be able to interview Joan, today,  for my show. You can listen to the replay HERE.  From the time that I spent speaking with her, I learned that Joan is such an accomplished woman.  She is a writer, storyteller, sometimes actress and so much more.  We discussed her memoir, her time with Vogue Paris, as Editor in Chief, and things she loves (and hates!!) in fashion.  I have to say it has been one of my most favorite interviews.  Joan is a fashion treasure and I am so fortunate to be able to introduce her to you!!!  You MUST read her incredible memoir, The Price of Illusion…for more information or to purchase click HERE.

Book Club Monday

Today’s Book Club Monday choice is the New York Times best seller The Girl Before:A Novel by JP Delaney. Here’s this story…you are going to LOVE it………. 

This psychological thriller spins one woman’s seemingly good fortune, and another woman’s mysterious fate, through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception.




SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD




Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life.


The request seems odd, even intrusive—and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating.


EMMA

Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant—and it does.


JANE

After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street she is instantly drawn to the space—and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home’s previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror, as the girl before.

Dear Evan Hansen

Not since Hamilton has there been so much hype for a broadway show.  Dear Evan Hansen, a beautiful coming of age story about a high school senior struggling to connect and find his place,  received the award for Best Musical! It stars Ben Platt, of Pitch Perfect!!!..Here is the story:


At its core, it is a story about families; how we love one another, how we fail one another, and ultimately how we must cherish one another.  It is also a very funny and moving portrait of young love, friendship and the relationships we forge with our chosen and actual families. 



A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live it.


Dear Evan Hansen is the must see show.  I have an offer for tickets for my readers, click onto Show Score for details.

Fashionable Friend Friday

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is Scarlett De Bease of SCARLETT IMAGE.  We first met a few years ago and I have been following her ever since.  Scarlett is an image consultant and she works with women to help them feel more confident by dressing them and styling them.  Here are some things you should know abut the amazing Scarlett:

  • I make creating your personal style and wardrobe fun and relaxing because I understand that many women actually DON’T enjoy shopping.
  • I am a bit quirky in my approach and make my clients comfortable and confident, even in their underwear.
  • I am not a fashionista and do not have a ‘perfect’ body so I don’t expect you to.
  • I get excited when my clients say “I would never have picked that for myself!” and they realize how amazing they look.
  • I never let my clients look like fashion victims, nor like everyone else in the room.
  • I am not a fan of trends and the styles I create are timeless and my clients never look outdated.
  • I would NEVER try to change a woman by putting her into clothes that make her physically or mentally uncomfortable.
  • I am not loyal to any particular brand or store, and I don’t receive commission for any items I suggest for clients.
  • I am a MASTER at creating a whole new wardrobe from clothes you already have in your closet – and for finding new looks at reasonable prices, if we do need to go shopping
  • In 2012 I was honored by Westchester Magazine with the title: “The Red Hot Image Maker” due to my transformational work with women.
I am so impressed by Scarlett and share here you tube videos from time to time.  Here is one of my all-time favorites from her YOU TUBE PAGE (which also has fabulous tips BTW!!!!!!)


Lastly, Scarlett has a great book, Stop Stressing About Dressing, check it out HERE.  

BON WEEKEND!!!!!!
