Don't Be Shy!

Like good mothers, we graciously accepted the cheap perfume and actually wore the cheesy Santa earrings for years. Now, we've earned the right to drop a few hints for Mother's Day.

Copy this Hot Flash and distribute it unabashedly to kids (and husbands).

Wear a Story

Jewelry should never be taken for granted. From the humble to the grand, jewels have history and stories.

YasuJutaro's Roman Glass Collection is made from glass fragments found in archeological sites in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.  Most date back to the time of the Roman Empire's occupation of the Holy Land. These antiquities were once a part of household items such as wine goblets, vases, and bowls.   

Owner, Pamela Gillie has been an artist since birth and a jewelry designer for 20 years. YasuJutaro, celebrates her Japanese and Korean heritage. Pieces are handmade blends of metal, beads, and fragments of ancient history.


Re-Tool Your Style

Forever cool

Style consultant, Sherrie Mathieson, is a former costume designer and stylist for TV, Films, and print.  Today, she's a nationally recognized expert on ageless, youthful style for men and women.

In her books,  "Forever Cool", (Clarkson- Potter, 2007) and "Steal This Style," Sherrie transforms real people into au courant versions of themselves.

Sherrie offers a consultation package that includes a 2 hour home visit and closet assessment. By the time she finishes, she has a list of items to enhance, supplement and/or substitute what's in your wardrobe.

Some packages include shopping with Sherrie. NOTE: She'll know what designers and brands work best for you, and how to navigate specific stores for just the right items.
