How to wear new colors

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. And realize you look like, well, Halloween on two feet. But oops, too late to return it. You could put it at the back of your closet, where it could languish for ...READ MORE »

{BRANDING} What are people saying about you?

Posted by Ketura

Your personal branding is what people say about you when you leave the room. What you stand for. Your reputation. What do you know about yours? It’s a crucial thing to understand. You can’t show up in life the way you really want to without understanding first how you’re showing up in your life right now, today, as you are in this ...READ MORE »

Stylist’s bookshelf: Fear and Clothing, Steal the Show

Posted by Ketura

I love keeping my eyes peeled for great books about fashion, style, and image. I’m swiftly making my way through Fear and Clothing: Unbuckling American Style, by Cintra Wilson, former columnist for the New York Times. Like an anthropologist, she dissects local customs and (more…)

Chic lit: Summer reading

Posted by Ketura

I love having the time to read about fashion and style — not just the obvious how-to books that I devour (of course) and my usual diet of magazines and blogs, but also fiction and memoirs on the subject. I really enjoyed this one on my flight to California — a memoir of a high-end Jewish milliner in Vienna ...READ MORE »

Grace under pressure: Look cute—fast

Posted by Ketura

Valentine’s Day Look #5: Headed out with friends

Posted by Ketura

Maybe Valentine’s Day is a good excuse for a casual get-together with friends rather than a Big Fancy Dinner with a date.  Here’s a great option. (Cute sandals would work, too — but it is cold here in DC and I just can’t stand the idea of chilly toes!) Get your sexy on: Valentine’s Day Look #5 ...READ MORE »

Michelle Obama in Michael Kors (with arm party!)

Posted by Ketura

There’s been quite a lot of talk that Michelle Obama would wear something not new during the Inauguration. Here she is in a Michael Kors dress she wore a few years ago. She’s changed her hair, as you already know unless you’ve been living under a rock, and she’s wearing an armful of bracelets, which give her look a little ...READ MORE »

Possibly the best dress ever

Posted by Ketura

9 reasons to take a dance class

Posted by Ketura

Recently I started taking Zumba classes at my local gym, which I had just joined. The first class I couldn’t keep up at all — neither my aerobic capacity nor my coordination were up to the task. After a few weeks I (more…)
