Therefore, the day following Thanksgiving was dubbed “Black Friday,” and it became the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. There is however much more to the story, revealed in my interview with the Huffington Post:

In search of the perfect blazer this season? My best tips have been posted on people.com.
Here is one of my quotes:
“Buttons on a blazer are not just decorative closures, they can also contribute to a strong silhouette or help to balance proportions. With this in mind, note that, if a blazer has a low single-button closure, it can create a long slimming line, which creates length and height on the body (and is an excellent choice for petite sizes), while a six-button double-breasted shape “can help to fill out the top part of a body.”

It is all about identifying and magnifying the unique, individual and beautiful woman that you are!
