Views: 1081 - Easy, Breezy Summer Dressing Tips - by Submitted on Jun 13, 2011 from Ginger BurrI don’t know about you but in New England we went from winter to summer overnight.

Of course, wait 5 minutes and it could ...
Views: 2442 - Three Fashion Tips to Jumpstart Your New Year Style! - by Submitted on Jan 07, 2011 from Ginger BurrI gave up on New Year resolutions a long time ago.

By now, most people have either made their New Year ...
Views: 1917 - Stop Comparing Your Body - by Submitted on Dec 30, 2010 from Ginger BurrAs a teenager, going to the beach was an ordeal for me on many levels.

But, that wasn’t all… While I was sitting on the blanket wrapped in several ...

Don’t give me violence, angst and heartbreaking suffering, and especially don’t make me watch the news. I won’t have any of it. Instead, give me a bowl of popcorn and corny movies with happy endings. This time of year Hallmark runs sappy ...
Views: 1719 - Are You Having a Bad Hair Day? - by Submitted on Dec 03, 2010 from Ginger BurrSome mornings I look in the mirror and feel like I look about a 100 years old. I have learned that frowning at myself or analyzing every inch of my face in a magnified mirror does not make things better (only worse!), and a big smile always perks me up (at least temporarily). I also know ...
Views: 2023 - Fun in the Sun at Work - by Submitted on Jul 29, 2010 from Ginger BurrIt’s a familiar nightmare. You arrive at a party and the host greets you. It’s then that you realize you are wearing your pajamas or, worse, only a bath towel. There’s no place to hide, and everyone is looking at you. Thankfully, at that moment, you awaken to realize it was all a bad ...
Views: 1982 - Dealing With Pesky Bra StrapsSubmitted on May 28, 2010 from Ginger BurrAs most of my clients will tell you, I am pretty easy going. I’m a big believer in self-expression in your wardrobe, and I help women create this for themselves. To this end, I am always open to exploring ways to make something unconventional work. That said, can we please, please do away ...

She then said, “I showed her another necklace ...

Short, long, embellished, patterned, tailored, flowing, trendy, colorful, neutral, you name it, it’s out there! How fabulous, right?…or maybe not! While cardigans are extremely functional, they are also dangerous. It doesn’t take much for a ...
Views: 2287 - 3 Popular Skin Myths - by Submitted on Apr 21, 2010 from Ginger Burr1. Drinking water alone will hydrate your skin. Well, maybe a little. If you’re still in your formative years, you’re fine. Of course, you also have to take into consideration the climate (humidity), level of activity (how much you’re perspiring), and how you eat and what you drink (some drinks ...
