So your kid made you angry again. But who owns the problem? And what can you do about it?

It sounds so simple doesn’t it? Life’s puzzles are often simple, but seldom easy.  The truth is the beginning isn’t always easy to know. Is it your own childhood? Your parent’s childhoods? Does the beginning for the human beings you are trying to raise start in parts destined to stay unknown? I will say over and over again that there is only one person on the planet that you can control. No, it’s not your children, partner or parents…it is you. So since we each consider ourselves, often unconsciously, the center of the universe, you might as well always begin with you. Since we inevitably parent and teach who we are, one of the greatest gifts we can give others is to truly know who we are. To strive to consciously choose when who we are is serving us and others, and when it is [...] Continue reading →

Kourtney Kardashian’s Blazer & Pant

Screen Shot 2012-03-15 at 11.06.17 PM
The promise of months on end of warm weather is looming, but I still can’t bring myself to put away my leather pants. The thought of spending 6 months without my faux leather friends makes me misty eyed. They are my go to when I want to look sexy but don’t want to wear a dress, and I’ve promised myself I’ll get at least two more wears out of them before the heat makes them stick to my legs like the passenger seat on a 90 degree day. And thanks to Kourtney Kardashian, I am going to be able to say see-you-in-six-months to them with a bang. I absolutely love the black and white bold color blocking Kourtney has pulled off with this look. The feminine top and her soft curls off- set the hard edged look leather and menswear can convey. This is a a fantastic look for someo [...] Continue reading →

  We’re very excited for a couple of reasons about February on Sole Society. One being that the shoes are getting brighter and funner the closer we get to Spring!

Sign up at Sole Society and see what your Style is and use the promo code “LOVE15” We had two picks in February. One was the Dana in the turquoise!

Double Take: Cameron Diaz Chic in White at Paris Fashion Week 2012

Screen Shot 2012-02-05 at 10.54.35 PM
I hate to say it, but I’ve been underwhelmed by the 2012 “Awards Season” fashion thus far. Angelina Jolie in a black gown. Sophia Vergara in a curve hugging mermaid dress. Zooey Deschanel looking quirky and cute. I love all of these gorgeous ladies, but the redundancy of it all forced me to jump all the way across the pond for this week’s celebrity style to steal – In fact I almost jumped in. But luckily my fashion sense landed in the middle of Paris, where fashion was happening all around the city and Cameron Diaz was proving that white in the winter is the new black with two different to-die-for white dresses. The key? Pair the looks with a black or nude shoe like Cameron did and take it easy on the accessories to let the detail in the dress do the talking. [...] Continue reading →
