The SECRETS to Becoming a Professional Fashion Designer

PURSUING YOUR DREAM JOB TAKES COURAGE

Pursuing your dream job that is an artistic venture is a usually an uphill battle for most. The market is filled with talented artists who want to succeed and the competition is fierce. Designers, actors, musicians, painters, singers, animators, etc...These are the kinds of jobs that everyone wants. People aren't doing 'whatever it takes' to be an administrative assistant.

My whole life has been nothing but artistic careers. I modeled in New York. Acted in Los Angeles. I'm now writing a book. And I've had the good fortune to be a personal stylist and image consultant for well over a decade. It's not easy, but I will tell you that it is fulfilling, fun, and worth the massive amount of effort to succeed at it.

YOU NEED PROPER TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE TO SUCCEED

But it's not enough just to have the gumption to jump in. You have to be trained. You must be skilled. If you want a long career, that is. And that is what trips up so many. With these kinds of jobs, people just don't know where to start. It's overwhelm time.

We get a lot of questions from people who want to design, even though we are not designers. Actually, two of our personal stylists are designers but that's a different story. I guess because we work in the world of fashion, people assume it's all the same.

Personal styling and designing clothes are two very different careers. If you want to be a personal stylist or image consultant, then we can definitely help you out. Just click here to learn how to be a personal stylist.

WHICH CLOTHES COLORS SUIT YOUR SKIN TONE?

Why colors look great on one person and not so great on another is a person's unique skin tone. Some colors (like pink) can flatter almost anyone because they come in many shades. Others (like catawba) are very specific to certain skin tones.

So let's explore skin tones a little deeper using the "seasons" scale and guide you on the best wardrobe colors for you based on your hair, eye color, and skin tone.

Summer and winter are the cool skin tones, while spring and autumn are the warm ones. Again, this scale is not about how pale or dark you are. This scale is based on your undertones and establishes if you are a warm type or a cool type.

Don't be imprisoned by your color palette...

 

THE SHOPPING FRIEND'S BEST NON-TOXIC ORGANIC DEODORANTS

As always, I like products that tend to be more organic and toxic-free because I believe the health of our bodies adds to our outer beauty. The deodorants listed here have minimal to no toxic chemicals with maximum effectiveness.

There is much debate about aluminum in antiperspirants. Antiperspirants rely on various forms of aluminum salts to block and dry out sweat. Since it’s known that aluminum is a potent neuro-toxin and has been linked in some studies to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer, I figure, better safe than sorry.

 

THE SHOPPING FRIEND'S BEST NON-TOXIC ORGANIC SHAMPOOS

Do we really need to be concerned about what's in our shampoo? It's on our heads for, like what? 2 minutes tops?

Okay. You’re thinking that it’s just hair. It’s dead. Who cares if there are some toxic ingredients in it? Hair can’t absorb it and we’re washing it out anyway.

It sounds like a logical argument. It's wrong. But it does sound logical.

This is not the area to be lax with your health awareness. Your hair isn’t the concern. It’s the wonderfully thirsty, porous, spongy layers of your scalp! They are the most sensitive and absorbent part of your body.
