Personal Shopper – Summer Holiday
I think I could be a personal shopper in another life. It’s like my day job, but
with clothes. And with the social calendar of summer in full swing, there are a
bevy of opportunities for crafting looks that suit the occasion. The coming holiday
weekend alone could demand a half dozen “fashion-scapes”. With that in mind,
I have styled four summer looks for my Luxe & Lucid readers. And although my
own ensembles typically consist of a mix of labels and price points, each of the
outfits below has been culled from a single source or shopping district to make your
purchase all the less painless. That’s what summer is all about – easy and breezy.
Happy 4th of July!

Tricia’s 10: Before & Afters
Everyone loves a makeover. It’s no wonder shows like What Not to Wear, The
Biggest Loser and Extreme Makeover – Home Edition are so popular … “bettering”
and “beautifying” are America’s favorite pastimes. That’s probably why interior design
has such a following these days. It’s certainly the main reason I became a designer
myself. There is nothing more satisfying than transforming an ugly duckling into a
swan and I do it for a living. I’m a pretty lucky girl. And with this fortuitous career
comes a bevy of photos recording my redesigns over the years. You can’t always
get that perfect before-and-after shot, but when you do, what fun it is to see!
