Confidence and Recognizing the Beauty in All of Us
Recently we had an opportunity to re-watch the Dove “Real Beauty Sketches” ad that went viral back in 2013 and we were reminded of how closely aligned its message is to that which we have been teaching for years—and that is the importance of the role that confidence plays in how we present ourselves to the world and how others perceive us.

Fall Trend Report—A Realistic View for Our New Normal
This year’s trend report for fall and winter 2020/2021 is a real conundrum.
