As we step into Fall 2024, it's time to refresh and refine our wardrobes with pieces that not only reflect the season's top trends but also empower us to feel our absolute best.
Fall 2024 proves to be exciting and extremely wearable and flattering. The colors, textures, silouettes, and accessoried with a capital A!
It’s about embracing bold textures, rich earth tones, and the timeless allure of tailored silhouettes.

I’m particularly thrilled to see some of my fall favorites come back this year: all the wines/oxbloods and greens; accessories that punch up our looks effortlessly like scarves and belts; and boots! What’s Fall without some fabulous boots to elevate an outfit?

BEHIND THE SCENES:
The 40 Over 40 Project
As a stylist/wardrobe coach, I am all about empowering women in midlife and beyond to show up with confidence and presence. So when when photographer Priya Nallathambi of studio3sportraits asked me to participate in her upcoming book, The 40 Over 40 Project, my answer was a resounding "Yes". In her words the project is about "Celebrating the strength, wisdom and beauty of amazing women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond!". Exactly my objective as a stylist, AND as woman over 60 myself.
The very talented Priya, with the assistance of hair and makeup artist, Ericka, brought out the very best of me (I am the queen of the awkward pose!). The process (took about four hours) was a lot of fun!
As a bonus to help launch the book, Priya arranged for our images to light up on billboards in New York City's Time Square on September 24th! For those who don't know New York, this area the epicenter of lights, billboards, theater and action! WOW!
I highly recommend treating yourself to the amazing experience of a photoshoot all about you at some point in your life. In the right hands (like Priya's), the lens brings out our best essence that we don't or can't always see when we look in the mirror. We are so hard on ourselves; critical and quick to make camparisons to others, or to our younger selves. We are still that girl inside. So let's embrace our beauty at every age, wrinkles, extra pounds and all.
