Petite Plus and More- Hot Tips from the Continuum Community

One year after our launch, Continuum, the membership exclusively for Poplin clients continues to flourish. We’ll be opening up this private community to clients not currently enrolled next month. Whether or not you are a Poplin client, you can get some hot tips from the membership as a thank you for being a part of the Poplin Community.

This month, were focused on leveraging the 16 Fall Color Trends expanding our wardrobes and experimenting with monochromatic and color blocked outfits. The RSVPs for this month’s Virtual Live Style Studio happened to have 100% women with petite plus figures. So, I streamlined the session with their needs in mind. In the end, more members were able to join last minute and whether or not they had the same body type, the conversation was a fruitful one. Who doesn’t love to learn more about the best pants for her figure or tailoring fixes? Here are some key takeaways.

Marimekko + Uniqlo: Pieces for $20 and Under are Still Going Strong

Believe it! The Marimekko + Uniqlo Collab started with a bang. I watched pieces disappear from my cart as I shopped. Simultaneously, clients and friends were shooting over photos of themselves in the Uniqlo dressing room or calling with sizing questions. It was big.

Simple (and Inexpensive) Steps to Up Your Game.

Few things are as inspiring and pleasing as seeing a really put together person on the street. It's like a little surprise. You're walking along and unexpectedly you see something (or someone) dashing, perhaps even a bit glamorous, that freezes the moment. When this happens, I often want to take a photo to document such a glorious display of fashion sense and personal style. Usually, I keep it to simply complimenting the person, which I'd encourage. Everyone leaves happy. After all, we all benefit from seeing something beautiful. And to me, fashion is a form of artistic expression. Anyway, enough of my musings. Let's get to the practical portion of this post, shall we?

In stark contrast to this euphoria, is that moment when you notice that the sophisticated fella who looks like he just walked out of an issue of Esquire is carrying a floral reusable grocery bag. Recycling- sexy. Carrying a super feminine woman's reusable grocery bag- not so much. (Unless, of course, he's carrying it for the woman he is walking with, which is pretty much the most attractive thing ever.)

As your personal stylist, I want to help prevent you, Dear Reader, from making these mistakes that keep you from realizing your true, very stylish and authentic, potential. Don't worry, they don't cost much.

Ways to Up Your Game Right Now.
