Styling may look effortless, but it’s a lot of work!📸

Here’s a quick BTS look at what went into my first TV fashion segment for News 12 Long Island:

✨Spent hours in stores and in transit finding the perfect pieces

✨Fittings to finalize looks (some didn’t make the cut 🙃)

✨Coordinated hair and makeup for the team

✨Styled and produced the entire segment—down to the smallest detail

📸 @news12li was all set up, to show up, host and shoot!🙌🏽

A Huge thanks to @news12li and @mrshannonlanier for the opportunity!

Here's what I shared at @tedxstamford :

🔴 Red - Energy, confidence, power
🟠 Orange - Creativity, enthusiasm, warmth
🟡 Yellow - Happiness, optimism, clarity
🟢 Green - Balance, growth, harmony
🔵 Blue - Trust, calm, stability
🟣 Purple - Luxury, creativity, wisdom
🩷 Pink - Compassion, nurturing, love
⚫ Black - Authority, sophistication, elegance
⚪ White - Purity, clarity, hope

Sad day? Bright wardrobe.
Important meeting? Specific colors for confidence.

When you dress with intention using color psychology, you're not just getting dressed - you're programming your mindset.

Yes...
Even your underwear effects your self-image.

It's the 1 year anniversary of my #TEDxtalk 🥳🎉🎊🙌🏽✨

In this talk, I walk through a real-life case study from my personal life where a woman's mindset, and thereafter health, was impacted by what she wore.

I'm not a doctor and can't diagnose, but watch it and see if it's possible - 🔗 in bio

𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 @dressforsuccess .

I found that out yesterday.

I had the honor of attending 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲, a luncheon honoring her life and legacy — and I left with an even greater fire to keep empowering women.

One story especially stayed with me: a woman who escaped domestic violence and rebuilt her life with the support of @dressforsuccess .

She went on to become an elected official in Florida - a position she currently holds - advocating for survivors in the present day.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀.

My 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 workshop was the #𝟭 workshop for Dress for Success Worldwide's online programming in 2025, with a 𝟵𝟵.𝟴% satisfaction rating.

And yesterday, those numbers hit differently.

I don’t know where every woman is in her life when she finds one of my workshops.

I don’t know what she’s carrying or what she needs in that moment.

But I'm grateful to be a part of the change that this amazing organization facilitates in the lives of women across the world.🌎

Grateful to be a 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 and proud to continue this relationship and the work of empowering women to move forward. ❤️

As a 1st Gen 🇺🇸, Hispanic Heritage Month month makes me think about the opportunities that came from that dream. 🇵🇦🇯🇲

Like many families that migrated to America, mine wanted me to have a secure future.

They wanted me to get a “safe job.”

𝗦𝗼 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱.

And I learned skills that became one of my most valuable assets:

How to show up.
How to communicate my value.
How to navigate the room.
How to build relationships.
How to command my presence.

That’s now called 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

I’ve since taught these skills worldwide to people across industries, careers, and career levels.

And I’ve watched what happens when they apply them:

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.
𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁.
𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.

People still tell me about the difference months—even years—later.

You’ve been thinking about it for years—

...wanting to feel more like who you've become, but never finding the time or creative space to figure out what that looks like.

The season is changing. Life keeps moving. There will never be a perfect time.

Now is the time.

My personalized styling experiences help you get there—
✅ from a closet evaluation and
✅ VIP Shopping Experience
✅ to a completely refreshed wardrobe in as little as *4* weeks.
