What’s In for Men…
Men, if you want to try some trends for fall, here are some ideas from your Indianapolis Men’s Stylist. First, in general, silhouettes are slightly bigger, something like the 90s. If you are a larger guy, make sure you don’t go too big. It will not flatter you. Conversely, if you are a more slight […]
Yellow: The Joys and The Pitfalls
If you haven’t yet heard, Yellow (and grey) are the Pantone Colors of the Year. As an Image Consultant, I first became familiar with Pantone colors in my first writing job and seeing my graphic designer colleague select colors for our various publications. It was so interesting to see what she put together. Pantone picked […]
Flattering Hair Color Part 2
Two blogs ago, we started to explore the topic of finding the right hair color as we age and our hair starts to grey. While in my first blog I encourage men to show some gray, with ladies, it’s another story. I believe 100 percent that most women who let their hair go completely grey […]
Flattering Hair Color that’s Perfect for You!
Many times, in the course of an Indiana Personal Stylist I consult, men and women on a number of elements that make up your personal style. We discuss hairstyles, hair color, and even skincare (yes, guys need skincare, too.). Women are, of course, tuned into makeup and what it can do. Some of them have never worn […]

How Feelings Can Affect Our Image
I recently had a color analysis with a new client – and the way I, your Indianapolis Image Consultant, conduct appointments now is I have certain tasks in mind, but really I just talk and interview clients to see what they want and why they are meeting with me – during the first 20 minutes or so. […]
From Your Image Consultant: Do You Have Your 16 Points?
The next two blogs from your favorite Image Consultant are about issues we all deal with as humans: grooming and your image surrounding that. I know it’s strange that I compare us to our two cats. Stay with me. Our big, fluffy Maine Coon loves to groom himself. He loves to clean his long, thick […]
Summer Shorts
Hello everyone! When I think of summer, I think of warm days and the occasional times I wear shorts. I have a camouflage shorts, bright pink and blue shorts with an elephant print from Lilly Pulitzer, and a pair of cut-off denim shorts I love to wear with a white Boho top. I, your Image […]
The Joys of Velvet
Hello Indianapolis Fashionistas, If you are like me, when you think of velvet, you may remember some family photograph or holiday concert you were in as a child. What did your mom want you to wear? Velvet of course. Velvet has always been popular around the holidays. Perhaps you have a velvet Christmas dress, a […]
