A career in Fashion + a lifetime of Food and Fitness + making it all FUN = founding LIFE*styled

FASHION - My fervor for fashion started at a young age. Always very conscious of what I was wearing, I eventually channeled this energy into a summer job at Nordstrom. This experience gave me my first taste of how wonderful it is to make women feel beautiful by simply finding the best outfit for them. After graduating from USC with a degree in Business, I entered the crazy world of fashion working first for Robinson’s May and later BCBG. As an integral part of the merchandising team at BCBG, I worked closely with Design and Buying to ensure our monthly deliveries were relevant to both the Fashion Trends and the Needs of our customers. Success came from offering the best assortment and ratio of tops, bottoms, skirts and dresses ... which I began applying to my closet as well as the closets of friends and now clients.

FITNESS - Though I always enjoyed playing sports, it wasn’t until high school that I found my true passion - lacrosse! What I love most about women’s lacrosse is the true finesse required for this non-contact sport. And although lacrosse pushed me to become a fitness devotee early on, it wasn’t until recently that I realized just how important fitness has been in helping me become comfortable in my own body – regardless of size or any number on a scale. Years of ‘training’ friends with astounding results (one friend lost 45 pounds in 6 months!) coupled with encouragement from current fitness professionals, led me to finally pursue it as part of my career. Who knew exercise could be fun?!?

FOOD – I’ve been a cook since my first lessons at the tender age of 3. Growing up, I delighted in the chance to cook dinner for my family or help mom out in the kitchen. Recent years have consisted of skilled ‘dinner party demonstrations’ for small and large groups, specialized catering for the film and television industry, and professional level courses to hone technique but I still firmly believe that ANYONE can cook gourmet - and do so stress free and healthfully!

FUN - Life is too short ... so let's make the ride FUN!

I believe a fulfilled life includes all of these elements, whether you start from the outside in or work from the inside out. The bottom line is that we all strive to be healthy, look great and celebrate our successes (and all the beauty) in our lives. I founded LIFE*styled to support you in these needs and to make balancing it all easier for amazing women everywhere.
