How To Make That Grey Work




 Ever wonder why Grey hair looks AMAZING on some people? We’ve had a little over two years to ponder this question... the length of time since we made the decision to stop colouring our hair.

Truth is with the transition to GREY special consideration needs to be given to colours that are close to and on the face. We find bolder lip, cheek and eye colours are needed to offset the lighter tone of a grey crown. Similarly saturated scarves and tops play well with grey hair. 

We are not suggesting to go bold with everything at the same time .... a choice should be made between eyes and lips. Similarly if opting for saturated clothing close to the face makeup hues can be more toned down. 

The bottom line is that grey hair needs a slash of colour either in clothes or makeup. Failing to do so can result in a look that is flat and without any point of interest.

5 ways to look classy in your 50's

 Have you ever seen someone walk by and say to yourself  "WOW that lady looks so classy ....whats her secret?" We will give you 5 easy steps to make looking classy attainable for every woman and particularly for those of us over 50. 1. Pay attention to detail.   This point is so very important. Anything with strings hanging, buttons missing, too tight, too long, too short, too wrinkled, too pily automatically devalue their worth and come off as being cheap.  The same can be said of shoes with tattered heels and bags with broken straps. It's better to wear a few items that are in great shape than a multitude that are in substandard condition. 2. Invest in a classic full length dark colored coat A coat is the one item in our closet that gets the most wear. Often it is the only piece of our outfit that is seen by others. There is not one occasion or  piece of clothing that a long coat can't be worn with.  They come in particularly handy for those special ...

3 Things You NEED To Clear Out Of Your Closet Right NOW

 So spring is officially upon us......although some days the temperature makes us feel otherwise.  Regardless of what the thermometer might read there are some things that need to be making their way out of our closets at this very minute.  1. The winter PARKA should now be placed at the back of the closet or sent to the cleaners in preparation for two or three seasons from now.  While it may still be a bit cold out its a good time to do some layering up.  A sweater in a fun colour mixed with a coordinating scarf and topped with a trench  can provide the warmth necessary for a cooler spring day.  On warmer days take advantage of the opportunity to wear cardigans, kimonos and vests which might have been difficult to wear under a winter coat. 2.It's a good time to switch up that ALL BLACK suit that has been a staple for much of the winter.  Opt for a pop of colour to break up that dark coloured suit and eventually transition into a lighter coloured ...

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF

 There is no shortage of occasions where we hear our friends or even ourselves list countless things we don’t like about ourselves. It may be something as simple as looking through some pictures, looking in the mirror or listening to our voicemail that evoke these self loathing comments. Why is it so normal to quickly list the things we think are wrong with us but to highlight  our good qualities is so rare and often looked on as an unhealthy pride. As we move into a new year we encourage you to flip the script on those negative conversations. Look for the good qualities you possess both on the inside and outside. This requires some deep honest self reflection but the impact can be life changing. Speak these truths out loud and use them to replace those statements that begin with “ I hate/ don’t like my.....”   When you find those qualities that you like don’t be afraid to highlight them. If your shoulders are flattering wear that off the shoulder top. If you are a good l...
