Founder Fashion. Life. You.
Welcome to Fashion. Life. You. | Style on the FLY Blog.  


Style on the FLY  is designed to offer style and fashion tips, tricks and trends that apply to real women's lives.  


Let's face it.  Few women have the time to keep up with what's in style and on-trend as it truly applies to their life and lifestyle.  Nor do they possess the interest, or budget, to plunk down hundreds of dollars on designer clothing.  Yet, women of all ages, incomes and backgrounds want to look stylishly put-together and attractive throughout life. 


The reality is, women are bombarded with a lot of external messages about fashion, style and beauty.  However, stores are crammed with an overwhelming amount of merchandise.   Our lives are busy and our bodies are ever changing.  Frustration and challenges of dressing well greet us daily.  Often shopping leaves us empty handed, deflated or settling on items that don't really fit, flatter or make us feel attractive.  


I find a many women -- of a certain age or size - have just given up and embraced a tired, out-of-date look as part of motherhood , aging, or an inner debate over style vs. substance.  The truth is well documented, we are more confident, productive, happy and successful when we feel good about how we look.  


I am here to share with you that looking good isn't about looking perfect; it's about being polished, put-together and authentic.   This equates to effortless style.  


Style on the FLY is my attempt to reach average women and share with them insider stylist tips along with current shopping resources and links to help make dressing, shopping and looking stylish -- less expensive, easier, more enjoyable -- and, ultimately effortless!


Fashion, style and beauty skills are not taught.  Women are expected to read magazines, watch reality tv, take the advice of well-intentioned sales associates whose primary goal is to make a sale not get to really give you totally honest style advice.  


The truth is, you are the one who truly knows you.  Knowing who you truly are -- your unique coloring, body shape, style interests, comfort level and wardrobe needs -- is the key to your personal style.  Effortless style is created by staying true to yourself and working with your unique attributes.


Fashion. Life. You. and Style on the FLY were both created to fill the gap, to provide you simple steps to creating both personal style and a more stylish effortless wardrobe.  


This blog will focus on my Personal Style System TM, what I believe to be the 5 Essential Steps to Creating Effortless Style;  Color, Body Shape, Individual Style, Lifestyle and Wardrobe Organization.


Please enjoy the posts and learning from the simple steps, tips, tricks and trends.

KIM LONG
I'm a personal stylist and wardrobe consultant.  I'm also a wife and mother to 3 -- stylish and handsome boys - they'll like that I shared that.  I enjoy reading and writing.  I love traveling and the arts and staying current on all things fashion and retail.   


So, how did I end up here?  When I decided to move on from a career in fashion retail to pursue doing something on my own, it made perfect sense for me to combine my experience with my passion for helping others.  This naturally led to the creation of Fashion. Life. You., a personal style and wardrobe service.   


With practically a lifetime of experience in the fashion, beauty, retail, sales and marketing I bring a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the challenges and frustrations that exist out there for my clients -- on a real level.  More importantly, I bring to my clients solutions and strategies that help them to develop their unique personal style while teaching them all the insider tips, tricks and tips I've picked up along the way.   


I've been complimented many times for my easy, open and out-going personality that make clients feel completely at ease.   With an eye for putting together figure flattering, age-appropriate contemporary outfits I bring a real talent for helping my clients revamp their current wardrobes and update their look.  


It brings me great joy and satisfaction to help women boost their confidence and become even more successful by helping them feel great about their image and appearance. 


When I am not  with my clients, giving a presentation, workshop or blogging you'll find me actively engaged in volunteering and philanthropy.   


I often donate my services to helping charities and organizations focused on helping women and children. 


If you enjoy these posts, please consider leaving a comment or subscribing to my blog to have my tips, tricks and trends delivered directly to your inbox.   And, it's always considered stylish to share.
