SO Rhode Island Magazine invited me and 5 others described as “the state’s most fashionable personal stylists” to head to a local South County Boutique and select one outfit to showcase in the September 2016 Fall Fashion edition of So RI Magazine.

For several years, the media has had a field-day reporting data breach after data breach.  In turn, big corporations such as Target, Home Depot and Sony have scrambled to put a crisis communication plan in place as well as dole out millions of dollars in restitution.  Cybersecurity is not just a “big-business” issue.  We have seen several of our clients in the small-to-midsize business space innocently fall prey to a hacker.  Has your data been compromised?

In a reactive effort to protect the rights of Rhode Island residents, Governor Gina Raimondo signed the Rhode Island Identity Theft Protection Act of 2015 into law on June 26, 2015. The Act requires businesses to take several measures to ensure the security of private information of Rhode Island residents.  Included in this law was a one-year transition period for businesses to comply.  That date was July 2, 2016 and still, most businesses are unaware that the law even exists! 

So what are the highlights of this law? [Read more…] about Rhode Island Data Security Changes

Caribbean Colors

This weekend, I am attending the Annual Boston Caribbean Fashion Week Fashion Show.  When I think about this event, I envision it looking like the image I created above, vibrant hues of blue and yellow cascading down the runway with attendees looking like a school of rainbow fish!

What is Shorr Style? An Interview by Everything Enamour

By Leave a Comment

In the fashion industry there are so many people to meet and connect with on a daily basis. I love connecting with women who are pushing themselves to be one step better than they were last year. Just recently while participating in an LFP Fashion event I met Lisa Shorr, an image consultant. I was intrigued with her story because although she started as a stylist (and still does do personal consultations), she has expanded her brand to image consultant- educating others about the importance of branding yourself and making a great first impression.
