Friday Focus | Take the Compliment

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.
~ Jacques Maritain

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

I have a love hate relationship with fashion, love that it can be a vehicle for self expression, hate it’s often a vehicle for consumerism.

Friday Focus | One Thing – Do Less

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Talking on the phone while getting to work, getting dressed, applying mascara, eating lunch, shopping, folding laundry, in line at the drive-thru, cooking dinner, wrangling your kids (the cat, the dog, the mail), tidying up, and…checking your email.

Style Story | Lucia Frangione, Traditional Current

Monday, April 12th, 2010

What seems paradoxical, the marriage of Lucia’s traditional values and topical opinions, works with the guidance of her Style Statement, Traditional Current. As an award winning, internationally produced playwright and actor, Lucia is a brilliant example that self expression is not an either – or formula. It’s all good if it’s all real.

Lucia’s twentieth play, [...]
