THE STYLE ROUND TABLE

You're Invited to
"The Style Round Table"

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to respond to the "Style Round Table". Your positive feedback is so encouraging, and it reinforces my belief, based on years of experience in the image industry, that all women want to know how to look and feel better about themselves. This was the first of a series of Style Round Tables I will be holding for you and your friends each month throughout the fall. I hope you'll join me on this exciting journey as we explore a myriad of image related topics in a small informal setting. I promise to do my best to inspire you to look and feel better each day.

Here's how it all works: Each month you'll have the opportunity to sign-up for a new and exciting Style Round table session. To accommodate both stay-at-home moms and working women, the same topic will be offered during a daytime and an evening session. Each one-hour session will include a general discussion, followed by a more hands-on, in-depth examination of the topic.

It's so easy: Check out the Calendar of Events by clicking on the link below, then choose the topics that interest you. Sign-up at your convenience, in the comfort of your home, 24/7.

It's a win-win situation for everyone. Bring a new friend, and your participation in a future, fee-based workshop will be complimentary. And, if you refer a friend to one of my paid services, you'll receive a complimentary half-hour service for yourself!

Dynamic Duo-look great and save time this summer

Let me help you make the most of what’s left of summer by teaching you how to minimize the time you spend on your morning routine without sacrificing great looks! Developing good grooming habits is a must, no matter what your age or occupation. I am recommending a few simple make-up tricks that will give you the most “bang for your buck.” read more

First, try a UBU mineral blush in "BRAVA", a universally flattering shade that doubles as a bronzer in the summer. It’s a “twofer,” automatically saving you time and money with the additional benefit of helping to improve your complexion.

Second, the next time you're on the run, skip your regular morning make-up routine. You can achieve a flattering, sun-kissed look by simply dabbing a bit of bronzer on your forehead, chin and nose. Make sure to blend properly to avoid a striped effect. With the correct color, you'll achieve a fresh suntanned look without subjecting your skin to the damaging effects of the sun.

Lastly, you'll want to give your eyes and lips the attention they deserve. Apply a waterproof eye and lip pencil. As always, blend both eyeliner and lip liner to ensure a natural look. Voila -- you're set to go with no worries for the rest of the day.

Emerging Trends for Fall

Fall Forecast:

My Top Ten Trends for 2009

Today’s savvy fashionista is looking for value and investment potential when assembling her wardrobe. Luckily, that shouldn't be hard to accomplish this season, as long as you don’t get too carried away by all the beautiful embellishments and bright colors that are central to this fall’s collections. If you’ve made some smart purchases over the last few seasons then you’ll be able to add a few key pieces and look totally up-to-date this fall without breaking the bank. Dresses, tunics, cardigans, leggings, and all styles of boots are some of the important continuing trends. Following are my “top ten” new trends for the fall 2009. Read more

1. Color: Anything in neon, red or camel will be a sure thing. Go bold and try a jacket, coat, purse or shoes in an eye-catching neon hue. Energetic red also emerges as a strong color contender this fall, a trend that likely has its roots in Michelle Obama’s inaugural red dress! Understated, elegant, and classic, camel may be the sartorial symbol of this recession.
2. From ballet flats to platforms, no matter what height heel you prefer to sport this season, it’s all about embellishments: jewels, studs, bows, lace and anything in suede will be huge.
3. For that all important accessory, the handbag, look for classic shapes with embellishments galore or neon colors, along with chain details. Patterned hosiery, textured tights and colored opaque hose will help complete any look.
4. Belts are bigger than ever, and it’s a “cinch” to follow this trend. Take any of your favorite wardrobe items, such as a trench coat, classic dress, cardigan or tunic and simply add your favorite belt.
5. Leggings will look up-to-date paired with a cozy boyfriend cardigan, tunic or dress with ballet flats or booties.
6. Graphic prints will be everywhere; going bold just got bigger!
7. Puffy sleeves, rouching, and bubble skirts -- elements from the eighties – prove once again that in fashion, that what goes around comes around.
8. Classic dresses in bright bold tones and graphic prints will draw attention to you for all the right reasons!
9. Sheer tops and blouses that demurely reveal lingerie details or bold bustiers will leave nothing to the imagination.
10. Finally look for fringe or fur; touches of either of these sensual elements will help you feel extra special this fall.

Style Round Table

I am excited to introduce the "Style Round Table" --a small, intimate group of women just like you that will meet to discuss your image, fashion and style concerns and questions. Of course, we all want to look and feel good about ourselves, and whether we like it our not, our image can have a direct effect on those around us and can even make or break our professional and social success.
The Style Round Table will be led by Image-Style Consultant Gwen Rich. The goal of the Round Table is to discuss your concerns about fashion and style and to learn and what topics you’d like to hear more about in future monthly workshops held here at IMAGE Inside & Out. This is your opportunity to have a direct impact on future topics offered by IMAGE Inside & Out.
I look forward to having you participate in my Style Round Table.
Please join me as we venture toward a Better You in 2009. Please respond if you would be interested in this workshop? If so, let me know what day and time is good for your schedule?

I look forward to hearing from you and your friends.

Thanks,

Gwen Rich AICI FLC
