Totally Charming

2011-09-26T08:41:00.000-07:00

I fell in love with Donni Charm the moment I saw the collection at the show. Super soft fabric adorned with strategically place angel wings, hamsas, and trees of life I knew we had to carry this line in our store. What made these tees and scarves that much sweeter was the back story of how the line was launched.

Designer Alyssa Wasko started the collection after the death of her father as a creative outlet. Alyssa says naming the project was the easiest yet most heartfelt step of the process. Those close to my father affectionately called him “Donny,” and as my mother later pointed out, she was his charm… thus, “donni charm” was created. She felt that the scarves wrap around you like a big hug, and the good luck charms hang close to your heart.

Celebrities have also taken a very strong liking to Donni Charm and Magazines have taken notice as well. It’s really no wonder because these scarves really rock! So wrap yourself in something soft and sweet this Fall and enjoy the charmed feeling that comes along with it.

Chamak Bangles are Back

2011-07-20T08:23:00.000-07:00

"Chamak in my native language of Hindi means to shine and sparkle in a glitzy and glamorous way." - Priya Kakkar

Chamak is the work of Priya Kakkar, a New York based designer with roots in India. She is a graduate of New York's prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology and began her career working as senior account executive in the accessory departments of DKNY, Chanel USA and Burberry USA.

As a young girl Priya was fascinated by her visits to India She spent time at the local bangle shops in the outskirts of New Delhi, trying on every bangle that they sold. Consequently it was no surprise that Priya's line of high end jewelry is strongly influenced by the rich and vibrant colors of India. By blending the lively traditional character of that land with modern sensitivity she fashions a line of jewelry that gives the wearer something special; the Chamak personality.

The Chamak shoplist includes hundreds of independent boutiques and some of the best names in fashion both in the US and around the world. Her designs are also seen in a number of our favorite glossies.

I met Priya about 5 years ago at Henri Bendels in New York City. I was shopping with my sister Leah and Priya herself was there showing her collection. We were immediately taken with her bangles. Mixing and matching styles not only for ourselves, but for our sisters Sara and Anna who weren't with us.

Priya took the time to tell us about her collection even gifting us each with a basic all over crystal bangle saying, "this will add a bit more sparkle."

Fast foward 5 years when I started 4Sisters1Closet I visited a number of showrooms looking for collections. It was at one of those show rooms that I ran into Priya again. We both remembered our encounter at Bendel's and it was then we picked pieces from her collection to carry in our store.

Chamak bangles are beautiful and add just the right amount of sparkle to any ensemble. Getting the chance to know Priya made me love the collection even more.

As Seen In

2011-07-12T18:16:00.000-07:00

Inspiration for fashion comes from alot of places. Some people turn to art others to celebrity style. While others look to their favorite glossies. Magazines have a far reach. And most of us flip through a couple mags a week not to mention the endless websites we see scan on daily basis. As a store owner I too turn to many sources to see what's hot. But for me the best feeling is seeing a piece I've been wearing for months before it has gone to press or is seen on one of Hollywoods favorite starlets. Below are some of my favorite pieces that we picked before anyone else did.

Denim Days with Black Orchid

2011-06-14T13:56:00.000-07:00

I have to admit I am very skeptical when a new line of denim comes onto the fashion scene. I, like most women, get stuck rotating between my 2 or three favorite pairs of jeans. These days denim brands are popping up everywhere, with prices so enticing you're willing to take a break from your favorite blues. When I came across Black Orchid though, I was immediately smitten. The price was just right and the fit was mighty fine.

Reputable designer Julien Jarmoune has taken his life-long passion and talent to new heights. After extensive research of the saturated denim industry, he realized there was something missing in the market: a basic well-designed jean. Combining his knowledge and sheer determination, Black Orchid was born as a classic line appealing to women of all ages.

Julien’s designs have been spotted on celebrities of all ages, sizes and styles, including Jessica Alba, Reese Witherspoon, Fergie, Christina Aguilera, Pink ,Kristen Stewart, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Demi Moore, Katherine Heigl, Dakota Fanning, AnnaLynne McCord, Hilary Duff, Nikki Reed, Paris Hilton, Kristin Cavallari ,Audrina Patridge and many others. With new designs introduced each season, the list of celebrity fans will no doubt continue to grow.

Summertime Shoe

2011-05-18T12:38:00.000-07:00

Whether your summer includes sunbathing at the beach, relaxing on a boat, or just hanging with friends on a warm lazy Sunday, Soludos should be your warm weather shoes.

Soludos are based on the traditional espadrilles that have been sold in the markets and on the beach in the Mediterranean for centuries. Their classic style, comfort, and flexibility makes them a summer essential.

Recently splashed on the pages of our favorite glossies these shoes are at their peak! Airy and light weight they may feel a bit tight when they arrive, but then they stretch to fit your feet just right. The natural jute sole and all cotton upper creates a shoe that breathes, proving that there is life beyond the flip-flop. Wear them with a pair of short shorts or with a romper. You are sure to be in good company with Jennifer Garner and Kate Bosworth both seen stomping around town in Soludos.

Soludos are so damn hot this season it’s no wonder we can’t keep em in stock. But lucky for you, we just received a new shipment! Take it from me a self proclaimed shoe aficionado, these espadrilles are the real deal. So get yours now before they're gone… or at least until that next shipment comes in!

Hot Child In The City

2011-04-20T09:03:00.000-07:00

One of the best things about living in Ft. Lauderdale is its close proximity to South Beach. Last weekend my Husband and I ventured out to a couple hot spots that I would highly recommend.. Picture a single floral arrangement on a long wooden table in the lobby, hundreds of closed roses packed tightly almost as if they were formed into one. Through the glass doors a pool of crystal clear water filled with smooth stones, a floating fountain in the center. The place I'm speaking about is the Setai, a chic, modern and elegant hotel. Surrounded by comfy couches and romantic candlelight. I sipped one of their many signature cocktails the Saigon Gimlet; their spicy take on the classic.

After drinks we took a stroll to The Shore Club Hotel to dine at their Italian restaurant Ago. Looking out from out table, our picturesque view included the all white cabanas lit up in red, lining the infinity pool. The vibe... cool. The food…. decadent.

But more importantly "What was I wearing?"

The look... Summer.

The Floral Skye Romper by Velvet Heart I paired with the very versatile Desert Belt by Rachel Pally

I topped off my ensemble with the Gaza Beige Blazer by Kova & T; the perfect shade of off white

For my feet I wore Lace Booties by House of Harlow

To accessorize I piled on Vita Fede 5 Wrap Capri Bracelet with Vita Fede Rose Anelili Bracelet

For my bag Balenciaga Arena Giant Hip Bag.

You Wore It Best

2010-11-30T09:16:00.000-08:00

Gone are the days of wanting to look like everyone else on the street. Am I right? Is there anything worse than walking into a room only to find another is rocking your look? Well, I can’t think of anything worse either. Lucky for you I have pinpointed some of the hottest trends to incorporate into your wardrobe. Ensuring you end up on the right side of who wore it best...

Take any black dress. We all have one. Now picture this... long lean legs… Sounds nice right? Well unfortunately we weren’t all blessed with them. No need to worry though. Throw on a pair of Winger nude Sergio Zelcer heels, the next generation of their best selling patent platform. I know I have said this before, but nude heels really make a difference. When these shoes arrived I literally had to fend off my sisters from them. Soft creamy leather shoes with patent leather heel and red soles finish off the look. (See photo) So although you can’t yet afford the original red sole shoe, act as if you can. We promise not to tell.

Nothing sets a gal apart more than some fine accessorizes. So, next up on our radar? High fashion head gear and bold baubles. Take the star studded stretch spandex headband by Gold Saturn. Demure enough for the refined lady, but edgy enough to wear with your favorite leather jacket. But if headbands aren’t your fashion forte, pile on pieces by Pono. Handmade accessories straight from Italy. Light as a feather and square shaped these resin pieces pack a powerful punch. In scrumptous colors like coco, lemon, pumpkin and mushroom these bracelets are deliciously decadent.

Safe & Stylish Travels

2010-10-29T10:04:00.000-07:00

The holidays are around the corner which means a lot of travel to see family and friends. We have some trips planned and we're sure you do too. But, just because you're on the move, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your look. We are wearing the Funk top by Fluxus for long car rides and plane trips. This top is just as comfortable as it is stylish with cuffed sleeves and a rolled round neckline. Paired with leggings we already own, it's an outfit any fashionista would be proud to wear.

Speaking of plane trips, we can’t leave home without our PLANE TO SEE bag. We 've been using these for years and now we can share it with all of you! Made of regulation sized clear plastic, this bag will make traveling easy. Throw this in your Jessica Kagan Cushman tote and your airport security run will be smoother than ever. Last we suggest a scarf to keep you warm and cozy while in transit. Try a YARNZ cashmere blend scarf worn as intended or use it as a blanket while you doze off. What gal doesnt like to snooze in style?

Safe travels!

It's Trend Time

2010-10-19T12:38:00.000-07:00

Most girls, like myself can attest, all trends are not created equally or for everyone. No matter how we may wish they could be. Skinny jeans aren’t for all body types and pointy toed shoes don’t necessarily excite the masses. So it goes each year, one must learn to scour the market, analyze the new, and decide… this trend is mine. As a self proclaimed fashion obsessed individual, I love to follow trends. Whether I decide to rock them or not is another story. But in the midst of the military craze, the plaids, and layer upon layer of neutrals, I have my sights set on a few trends I intend to embrace.

Seen on the head of Kourtney Kardashian, and the must have list of Rachel Zoe, I too am smitten with these uber chic turbans. I am talking about Gold Saturn headwear by the young designer, David Acosta. Picture this head wrap on a windy day at the beach or as that perfect ear cover on a chilly day in the city. Either way this trend is a true statement piece I will make all my own!

Next on my hit list are fingerless gloves. I mentioned recently my move from New York to Florida. Well I suppose this trend is my way of holding on to the weather I left behind. Crocheted tubes by Yarnz are 100% cashmere and deliciously soft. Picture wrapping your hands in your favorite cashmere scarf. I love them in navy, worn with denim. Best part, they are light enough to wear throughout the entire evening. Therefore, not only warming your hands, but creating an unexpectedness that even the most bold statement necklace cannot.

My advice is… Make your move. Pick a trend. Wear it your way and remember enjoy them while they’re here cause nothing lasts forever.

Fall Favorites

2010-10-05T08:38:00.000-07:00

It is undeniable that Fall is officially in full swing! I love how the weather is starting to cool off a bit, even if it’s only by a few degrees. It still means it's time to break out fall fashions. So although my new found Floridian status has left me yearning for the cooler days in NYC, I have found a way to embrace fall in my own way.

On top-I am wearing grey hued tops by Kain Label and LnA- Light weight by fall standards, but the shades of grey remind me what time of year it is.

Instead of boots- I am wearing the Wymer black and nude patent pump by Sergio Zelcer- It's the ideal transition from summer nude to winter black just don’t be fooled by the low price point these shoes demand any fashionista’s respect.

For my nails- I am wearing Shellac- It's the first hybrid nail color that is applied like polish. It wears flawlessly for 14 days with a high gloss shine. Not only does it last for what seems like forever, it allows you to leave the salon knowing you can’t possibly mess up your perfect mani.

I may have left chilly weather behind, but embracing new trends and colors will always be part of my fall tradition.

Viva Las Vegas

2010-09-08T11:31:00.000-07:00

The days of summer are over which means we are all resuming our busy schedules. Sara has returned to the class room, Anna is back to her studies, Leah is honing her culinary skills, and I am maintaining the business. But before being forced back into the grind... we got together for one last rendezvous. And there was no better place to kick back and enjoy the final days of summer than Las Vegas!

This weekend we found ourselves looking for a night on the town, a day by the pool, and of course some quality family time. This can only mean one thing… many many cute outfits! And so I broke down our wardrobe essentials for a 4 day jaunt to Sin City. Here they are…

For our feet Sara, Anna, and I all found comfort in our Sergio Zelcer heels. Sara and I opted for nude patent pumps while Anna wore a black patent basket weave pair.

For day, Anna and Leah wore Mink Pink minis. Leah rocked the 4th of July dress and Anna shopped in the Parent Trap dress, both ideal with 100+ degree heat.

For night Anna chose to wear a body hugging ruched dress by Frenzii, while Leah accessorized with a JJ Winters chain purse.

For the cross country plane ride home I paired Charlie 5.0 jeggings with Capote's super soft boat neck top.

Our weekend was a blast... and we hope yours was too!

Going Gray

2010-08-13T14:09:00.000-07:00

Going gray this season isn’t in reference to ones roots, but rather ones wardrobe. Gray is everywhere this fall, from nail polish to denim to our favorite leather accessories. It is the perfect transition from summer whites to winter blacks. Some of our most loved fashionistas like Kim Kardashian have already begun to embrace the trend on their nails and in their clothes! For nails we suggest OPI Sheer Your Toys.We love how it matches everything that already hangs in our closet. This hue looks chic even in the most basic of fabrics as seen here in this cotton ¾ sleeve dress by Olga De Polga. Not ready to wear it all over just yet? Try this studded multi wrap belt from Vita Fede over a basic black or neutral dress. If you already own a some gray try incorporating a pop of color and don't be afraid

to mix textures.

Retail Revelation

2010-07-30T13:25:00.000-07:00

Florida and New York share many things… sizzling night life, fabulous restaurants, and beautiful people. However, when it comes to dressing, the fashion needs really differ. Since relocating to Florida about a month of ago I realized my daily wardrobe had taken a 180 degree turn. Yes, it is summer and you could argue that it is unseasonably warm in Manhattan, so how different could the dress be... but this revelation was about something else. It was about the clothes I had bought then and what I needed now. Yesterday I browsed the shelves of one of my favorite shoe stores and instantly reached for te over the knee suede boots. Why these shoes were being sold in 100 degree weather I cannot tell you, but what I did know was that these boots were an investment I no longer needed to make. I began reminiscing about the past five years living in Manhattan, stocking my closet with delicious leather jackets, wolford tights, cashmere sweaters and a collection of winter coats. I realized that these garments were now taking a back seat to my denim shorts and gladiator sandals. Change in climate meant two things; I needed new clothes and I needed to work on my South Florida style.

Now, living in New York was eye opening for me. My time there introduced me to the beauty of being unique, dressing for every occasion and experimenting with my own personal style. That being said, I am ready to bring that education to my new life down south. Below are some of my new favorite go to pieces.

-Denim Button Downs- Out side jackets are not required, but it does get awfully cold in the air conditioning. I wear my denim button down shirts as jackets. They are great over dresses and match everything. I also love to throw them in my carry on when I am traveling. They fold up smaller then a jacket and weigh a lot less in my usually over stuffed bag! Shop Denim Button Downs

-Headbands- Headbands are hot and everyone is rocking them, but I have never thought of them as a day time look. However, when I want to rock a pony-tail in the daytime heat, a headband is the perfect addition! This style is great because it gives me the opportunity to show off a great accessory that usually gets lost in my curls. Shop Headbands

-Breathable flats aka Soludos- I can not stress the importance of a good flat! These are the perfect summer shoe as well as an alternative to flip flops. From the city to the beach they are a go-to for optimal support, comfort and versatility... Not to mention they retail for under $30!! These shoes are also getting some serious press with reason. They have been featured in Harpers Bazaar, US Weekly and Daily Candy. Shop Soludos

Dress to Impress

2010-07-27T14:10:00.000-07:00

Dresses are fun, easy and make a lot of sense with this heat. So it is no surprise that my sisters and I are all about rocking Summer’s hottest frocks. My personal favorite right now is the long tribal print maxi dress by Torn by Ronny Kobo. Its light weight, has a ton of color and hugs my curves in the right places. Worn with heals or gladiator flats this dress is perfect for dining out on a warm summer evening in South Beach. But, if I need a dress to take from work to play, which is often I then reach for shorter style like one of these by Rachel Pally and Fighting Eel. These dresses are easy to accessorize and keep you looking cool when the thermometer tops 100 degrees. No matter my pick I am all about the nude heals. I suggest the Winger patent leather nude platform pump by Sergio Zelcer! These sexy shoes are all leather, hand made in Brazil they add inches to your stems. Be sure to pack these pumps on your next vacay they will match with everything!

These are a few of my favorite things

2010-02-18T21:38:00.000-08:00

Every girl has her crushes... and I am not talking about boys. I'm referring to those seemingly "necessary" objects that you crave. The "I need it" nail polish, lip gloss, flat iron, or those awesome new jeans. What's currently strong on my list now is as follows:

Essie nail polish in Lilacism, part of the Essie Art of Spring Collection is just divine on the pages of Elle. Imagine my surprise when I stepped into the nail salon and there it was. No longer forced to pick a dark hue that I already held in my hand, I gently put down the old and reached for the new, Lilacism. So for now I am totally in lust! This fabulously fun shade of lilac has a matte finish and looks totally chic. I was receiving compliments within minutes of sporting it and you will too!

TwoSome rings by Erica Anenberg. One ring that sits on two fingers. A truly unique way to "put a ring on it" and showcase your individuality. Designed in California and representative of West Coast laid back style these rocker rings are a sure way to get some attention! Both fashionable friend and foe are sure to have a bit of ring envy.

Jeggings, yes jeggings and if you haven't jumped on board with these yet, you are really missing out. Always a bit shy, I was unwilling to succumb to the super stretchy denim pant, until my mom gifted them to me. I am now a huge fan. They fit like a glove, but unlike other snug denim that often cut into you in all the wrong places, these are soft with give in all the right places. Currently I am clothed in Blank NYC black stretch with studs. Also available dark blue and black jeggings with strategically placed back pockets.

These are just a few of my favorite things...

Hot Mama Fashion Drama

2010-02-11T11:57:00.000-08:00

I was recently sent this email from a very old friend. As usually I was thrilled to share some of my fashion advice. The email read as follows.

D-

Since you are now the style person.... I have a question.....

Is white OK to wear in March down in FL. I feel like it's not ok up
here...but I kind of feel like white is always ok down there. Like a
white denim pant or something.

I currently own nothing that fits me...it's all too big for a

change...so I have to do some serious shopping before I come down

there in March. I have a few top options that may work...but really

need bottoms. Just trying to build outfits and not just buy a million things that

don't work together!

I'm not a huge dress person, but I'm going to see what I can find. I

just don't have too much time to spend shopping these days with my

crazy girls. Also, you thinking maxi dresses will still be in this year? Or out?

Had a cute one I could bring the wedding weekend. I feel like Florida
just seems to have thier own set of rules, you know!?!?!?

Let me know what you think fashionista.

-A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A,

Thank you for consulting me for a fashion update. I know you are a busy mama and while you may have fashion on the brain, it doesn't seem to fit into your schedule. Here are a few tips to help make your shopping experience a bit more enjoyable.

As much as I love white pants on a skinny gal, that look should be saved for summer. I think it could brand you a bit touristy if you wear a pair in March. May I suggest a skinny denim. Something stretchy that hits right at the ankle. This way, you can show off a cute pair of sandals or ballet flats. My favorite pair of skinny jeans right now is J-Brand. They are affordable and have an awesome fit. If you want something lighter, they have a ton of different denim shades. Save your white pants for June, July and August.

I completely understand your desire to want to mix and match your wardrobe. It's really the only way to shop these days! Since you have some tops already, here are some ideas to update your look. Key pieces for me right now are little shrunken blazers and billowy cardigans. Since you were blessed with height you should try something a bit longer. Like a men's wear blazer. I literally throw a blazer on over everything from cocktail dresses to a T-shirt and jeans. If you already have a blazer and you want to purchase something new, may I suggest a leather jacket. Something thin and super soft in black of course! Look for a leather jacket that is simple, so you can wear it for the next twenty years! http://www.4sisters1closet.com/ has a great leather jacket by Blank NYC.

Now, on to the dresses. I love maxi dresses! I think they are always in for summer and tropical places like South Florida. For a wedding weekend in May, I think that would be a great look for during the day as well as a rehearsal dinner. A strapless or halter maxi is a nice way to show off your tan too!

Living up north, as we both do, we tend to forget about color. So keep your options open and try to incorporate some color into your looks. Any more questions feel free to ask. I hope this was helpful.

XOXO

Dana

Ray-Ban Fan

2010-01-20T13:19:00.000-08:00

I am a big fan of sunglasses and a collector of many frames, but I must admit I fought the urge to jump on the Ray-Ban wagon. These shades, a big celeb fave, seemed to land on the faces of everyone all at once. Like leggings went from the legs of a select few fashionistas one day and on to the masses the next, Ray-Bans too had a similar affect. I do have a confession though... I was always a Ray-Ban fan, but I couldn't bare the thought of seeing my must have accessory in the hands of everyone else. You follow me?

Well problem solved. On a recent trip to my favorite sunglass shop in South Florida I was delighted to see the shades in a number of new colors and sizes. So delighted, I spent 2 hours picking out the perfect pair for each member of my fam for the holidays. Now these new styles are not for the fashion faint of heart. Some are shockingly bright, almost silly to say the least.

So, I do recognize that not everyone can or wants to rock a pair of neon yellow or blue shades thankfully there are other options. Try a camo green combo in a slightly larger frame. Still to wild? Opt for a dark blue pair. Very close to black but still a great way to transition into a more playful look. My personal pick? The two tone pair in purple and magenta.We were all sporting our shades on a recent vacay and I think we looked mighty fine.

Already own a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers? Try a pair of their plastic aviator shades. These are sure to take a place in your sunglass rotation. Have to wear perscription frames? No problem! My local shop will order the lenses in your script. Now there is no excuse. Still not convinced... Check out the pics from 4Sisters1Closet's look book shoot. We featured multiple colors and frames!

Want to order a pair of your own? Contact Robin at Flamingo Falls Eye Care, Pembroke Pines, FL. Tell her Dana sent you.

Q & A

2009-12-09T20:34:00.000-08:00

Yesterday evening I was greeted with a message from an old friend entitled “Fashion Advice”, it read as follows...

Hey Dana!
We are coming to NY for Christmas and doing dinner out. I have no idea what to wear that will be warm but also sophisticated/sexy. Any advice for this warm weather native?
xo
Sam

Winter in New York is a gal’s time to shine. Literally! The hottest trends for evening may be all about black, but there is always room for some sparkle. To get this season’s hottest look, put on a pair of black opaque tights. Wolford are my favorite. They look great on, provide enough warmth on a cold winter night and are durable! Shop for a jewel tone dress. I propose something short and clingy. The tights will allow you to show a bit more leg without feeling self conscious or looking too scandalous.

If you are dreaming of a more fashion forward look try a sequin dress or blazer a la Lauren Conrad. Not too keen on the all over look opt for a pair of black skinny jeans and an embellished blouse. Finish off this look with a shrunken blazer, one small enough to fit under a coat. Packing one pair of shoes for nighttime? Black leather booties are the answer. They are definitely more comfy then your stilettos and are still sexy!

To cover up your look a coat is essential, but don’t sweat perfection. Being a warm weather girl I favor warmth over style. Now if you are moving to NYC you should invest in a statement coat, but a weekend getaway is another thing. Most restaurants have coat check at the door which means few people will have the chance to see you all bundled up. If you decide to buy a new coat choose one that is heavy and falls below the knee in a dark color for obvious reasons. You will be happy you opted for the extra weight and length when you are dealing with freezing temperatures. Trust me! A full length coat will never be the most flattering option; if this is a concern select one that nips at the waist.

Finally, on to the accessories. A scarf this time of year is a must, so use this opportunity to have some fun. Try an animal print or a bright fuchsia if you are wearing all black. I tend to leave my scarf on once I am inside so make sure your scarf doesn’t clash with the rest of your outfit. If your look doesn’t have enough sparkle try a large cocktail ring or my favorite look right now a big statement necklace. Don’t be afraid to experiment with these new looks, but you shouldn’t try to pull off all of these trends at the same time. Think…. less is more.

Remember ladies in New York anything goes!

Team Edward and I am not talking about Twilight ladies

2009-11-19T11:18:00.000-08:00

Every girl knows the importance of good makeup, whether we want to admit it or not. We’re all slaves to the mirror in the morning, I know I am. Every few months I have to restock. It was on the most recent trip to Bergdorf, where I went for replenishment that I met Edward. After gathering up my usual Khiel’s deodorant and Prescriptive Custom Blend foundation, I hesitantly asked the sales woman, you never know what another woman will suggest, “Can you recommend a great gloss?" To my surprise she said "May I suggest Edward Bess?”

I walked over to the counter and an attractive young man greeted me with a smile. It was Edward Bess himself. Now what is important about this story is that Edward is a mere 23 years old. An alumnus of the performing arts school responsible for the movie Fame, Edward told me he moved to NYC from the Carolinas. We also reminisced about Carowinds a theme park that borders both North and South Carolina a frequent stomping ground during my days at Pinewood a sleep away camp in NC. I found out all this info because, Edward was very chatty, sweet, approachable and of course complimentary. We bonded over facials since he complimented my skin. I told him I had just visited Mario Badescu, a favorite of his as well ( he recommends Leah).

Now onto the goods! As you can see from the photo above I did quite well with Edward. He suggested a pinky gloss for my pale complexion, "Love Always" that I have come to adore. It emphasizes the natural color of my lips and it really stays put. Meaning on my way out the door, I can take the last sip of coffee, kiss my hubby goodbye, and feel confident that I don’t need to reapply before my meeting. Next, I picked up some "All Over Seduction" in "Sunlight". It’s the type of product applied to cheek bones and eyelids that gives those Victoria Secret Models their perfect glow. How did he know I was already attempting to achieve this look with a combo of eye shadows and blushes? Lastly, I scooped up a mascara in black that has proved to be the perfect consistency for daily use. Not too thick nor to thin and not too seductive for day light if you know what I mean...

As you can tell I’m a big fan of Team Edward Bess. His products are only available at Bergdorf Goodman and remember when you go to visit, tell him Dana sent you!

XOXO,

Dana

A Call To Service

2009-10-20T20:00:00.000-07:00

When asked in a recent interview what advice Oprah would give to women entering the work force she answered…

You should always aim to provide a service to people...

For me my love for clothing, accessories, and of course shoes is more then apparent to those who know me. But for those who do not, following my heart is what lead me to answer my call to service.

On a recent jaunt to South Florida I was enlisted for my first mission. My older sister Sara who is set to marry the man of her dreams in May was going to have to surrender half..... okay maybe 1/3rd of her closet. It is daunting, stressful even emotional at times. Luckily she had me at her service. The process was tedious and on occasion hilarious. Did she really used to wear that??

Not everyone has a sister who can help organize and refocus their wardrobe. Here are few ideas to help you get started on your closet.

-Think about the clothing you wear on a daily basis. For some this could be denim and t-shirts for others it could be suits and button down shirts, regardless move these pieces to the most accessible area in your closet. This allows quick picks in the morning it also keeps you from having to rummage through your entire wardrobe every time you dress for work.

-Gather all evening and "going out" attire and move to the back of your closet. These garments are usually made of more delicate fabrics and don't need to be shuffled through daily. By keeping them in a more protected area you will prolong their longevity.

- Remove all plastic from recently dry cleaned garments this will not only save space, but the plastic traps moisture which can damage fabric lastly remember check that your garment was cleaned properly.

When you are ready for a closet makeover schedule a consultation at DanaRKornfeld@gmail.com

XOXO

My Life in Numbers

Life in many cases is viewed and judged in numbers. Whether it be your age, height, weight, or salary we are identified by the numbers in our lives. These numbers aren’t necessarily appropriate to discuss, especially when it comes to women. But for me, right now I am ready and willing to discuss my numbers… well most of them.

The most important number today, right now at this very moment is my tax ID number. I am eagerly awaiting this new number that will allow me to start my much anticipated, independently owned and operated small business. Things are about to change in my life. I can almost taste the possibilities that await me. I am about to embark on a path that countless women can only dream of.

My new venture 4sisters1closet is born out of numbers 2 very important numbers. 4 being that I am one of four sisters and 1 being our “shared” closet. Having 3 sisters meant every piece of clothing or accessory was meant for more then just you. It was part of “our “closet whether you wanted it that way or not.

After four years in New York City I have collected many important numbers. I have worked at 6 different companies. Met and married 1 very handsome man. Received 2 beautiful diamond rings. Lived in 3 different NYC apartments. Purchased nearly 50 pairs of shoes, but who is counting….

Most importantly I have kept my sights on 1 very important goal

More to follow……….
