Posted by Ketura

fit-and-flare-dress-from-anthropologieA short trip downtown to a meeting this week revealed at least a dozen summer office-wear don’ts. Here’s why the things on my list below are a problem.

Cute tote bags

Posted by Ketura

  Camo tote, J. Crew, $8 Recently I shlepped my lunch to a meeting in a very basic canvas tote bag. It is super-simple but I love it because I love everything camouflage. (I can’t help it! I’m a total peacenik but I love camouflage.) And it packs quite a punch for just $8. I got a bunch of compliments on ...READ MORE »

Posted by Ketura

You loved that orange sweater in the store, and now that you’ve gotten it home, you’re asking yourself, “What the hell was I thinking?!” Then you wear it with black.

How to wear yoga pants outside the gym

Finding your best colors

Posted by Ketura

All photos by Tamzin B. Smith Photography It can be tough to know which colors suit you best. It’s really important, though! Wear the right colors, and you look healthy, pretty, energetic, and well rested. Wear the wrong colors and, well, you might get asked if you’re feeling okay.

Getting a New Year style reboot

Posted by Ketura

Almost 40 women came together yesterday to talk in a serious way about their style. It was an awesome morning of introspection and connection with a group of women whose age ranged from 35 to 75.
