Do You Love Podcasts?

Me, too!!  I listen to them when I work out and love the head space of exercise to drink in new, interesting ideas.

One of my favorite new podcasts is "Turn the Page" with Hemda Mizrahi on Voice of America.

And -- would you believe it -- I'll be featured on it this Friday!

I'm super excited to bring you this show!  It's a first for me to be interviewed for the radio.  It was such fun, I'd definitely like to do it again! 

On the show, Hemda and I will be discussing my style formula and exploring lots of amazing client case studies so you can imagine how the process might work for you.

Here's the description of the show:
Style is a powerful way to harness the disparate parts of yourself and present a true, clear message about who you are. This episode will help to launch you on your personal style journey!  Global personal style coach and entrepreneur Allison Hamilton-Rohe will walk you through her unique personal style formula to help you imagine how style can work for you. We’ll talk about three key components of personal style: what flatters, what matters, and “the dream.” Allison will provide you with an insider’s look at how stylists determine what flatters you most.  She’ll clarify how the language of style can help you show the world who you truly are, and decode how personal style can make your dreams your reality.

Here's how to listen in:

April Wrap-Up: New Monthly Vlog!

I had so much fun posting my video series, "Unlock the Power of Personal Style," I thought I'd make it a regular thing!

Every month, I do a wrap-up, talking about what I've been focusing on in the blog and in my work that month.

To give you more accessibility and transparency, I'm going to do my monthly wrap-up post as a vlog.

Low-fi video is for real.  There's no pro team making me look great, there's no outtakes on the cutting room floor.   This is me, sitting at my desk, reaching out to you.

Effortless Style

There's the word in the style world that's thrown around like salt:  effortless.

Effortless style.  Effortless chic.  Effortlessly beautiful.

What does it all mean, anyway?

effortless

ˈɛfətlɪs

• achieved with admirable ease.

  "her effortless sense of style"

I actually don't believe in effortless style.  But, I believe your style can become effortless. 

My formula for personal style is as follows:
what flatters + what matters + your dream = personal style.

What Flatters.  It starts with knowing what flatters you:  the colors, cuts, textures and patterns that look best on you.  These elements come from your facial features, your hair and your skin.  The right color can make you look awake; the wrong pattern will overwhelm you and speak for you.

What Matters.  The next piece is knowing what's important to you.  What do you want people to see when they first meet you?  Is it how much money you have?  Is it where you're from?  Or is it something more subtle, like your integrity or your drive?  All of these nuances can be expressed through the way you dress.  Style is a language.  Choose your words!

Claim Your Dream.  Knowing where you want to go is as important as knowing who you are right now.  In fact, it may be an easier question to answer.  One of the ways actors get into character is to dress the part.  You can do the same.  I'm not encouraging you to be dishonest, but rather reach for what you want.

Translate to Communicate.  You can take these three elements and translate them into visual terms.

• What flatters = the color palette, patterns, textures and cuts that look best on you are all visual elements.  
• What matters = the colors + cuts, patterns, textures that convey your style words.  For example, red equals energy and soft fabrics convey love and warmth. 
• Your dream = who does the woman you want to be look like?  To find the answer to this question, we ping-pong back and forth to find an inspiration for your look. 

Making It Effortless.  Once you have defined your personal style, streamlining the wardrobe is easy.  You let go of whatever doesn't match your vision and start to build your wardrobe with pieces that do.

However, letting go can be very, very hard!  It is a huge help to have support here.  You need someone encouraging you to reach for your vision and not lose faith in the goal.

A Wardrobe That Works FOR You.  Your wardrobe needs to function with your life, so if you're a Mom home with small children, your fabrics should be tough and easily washable.  The same is true for a road warrior, but the cuts and types of clothing would be completely different.  When you're both, this requires  dual-track wardrobe that feeds the needs of both functions.  All of this is easily do-able -- even within a budget.

When you have everything you need, when it fits and feels wonderful on and makes sense for your life, THEN your style has become effortless.  Once you've achieved it, you're never going to want to go back!
