Welcome to Zen and the Art of Personal Style! I hope you find my rambling helpful and enjoyable – the goal is to give you my outlook on the everyday influence of style and fashion! Here, we celebrate the wearer, not the clothes. Contrary to the popular saying, the clothes do NOT make the [wo]man – her character does! According to Edward Gibbon (18th century English historian) "Style is the image of character."

A woman’s true character is made by her passions, her travels, her experiences, the loved ones in her life and the company she keeps! A strong inner character is the greatest aspiration one can reach for and the journey to that self-understanding is truly beautiful. This is where style comes in. Style should always only be a reflection of you!

I know you have probably heard it said that about 90 percent of communication is non-verbal, well, that means that your clothes really do make a statement! So when you make your style statement, speak truthfully to who you are and ignore the comings and goings of fashion! When you wake up in the morning and look in your closet, listen to the confident and beautiful woman inside you - chose your adornment accordingly!

"Style is knowing who you are, what to say, and not giving a damn."
- Gore Vidal
