Welcome to KGIC! Style that fits YOU. 
“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.”  - Miuccia Prada

As Prada mentioned STYLE is "...how you present yourself to the world." You can't deny it. Whether you can't get enough of the latest trends or you are of the breed that does not have any desire to focus on fashion, your personal style affects your relationship with the world. 

Professionally, your style can tell your colleagues and potential clients how competent you are before you even have a chance to say a word. It can make the difference between gaining an account or being passed over. Your image can (and does) determine a great amount of your fate in the business and professional world. 

Personally, style is an outer expression of the person behind the clothes. True fashionistas do not dress for others, they dress for themselves. Fashionista or not, in today's world, clothing is not strictly functional. Clothing is a way to accentuate your figure and best features, express your personality and a simple way to dramatically change the way you feel about yourself. 

We believe that dressing in a way that accurately describes who YOU are is the quite possibly the best way to look good and feel good in your own skin. 

You don't need to change - but maybe your clothes could use a refresher. 

At Kristin Golden Image Consulting, we are committed to providing the ultimate personal styling experience. We work with men, women and teens to assist in enhancing their personal and professional appearance. 

We have developed a unique array of services that can be custom tailored to fit you . Please check out our "Services" page to discover all of the unique ways that we can cater to your style-specific goals. 

We look forward to working with you!

Trends - staying on top of the hottest looks of summer 2012

Trends - Staying on top of the hottest looks of summer 2012

Trends, trends, and more trends...

My job requires me to keep up with the latest trends - from hair style to shoe choice. I love watching the trends change but sometimes, with so many new trends, it can be difficult to know what's hot right now.

Is color blocking still in? (yes), What about big, clunky shoes? (yes) Is black nail polish still in (sorry, it's been replaced by bright colors or neutral shades - although I still love the darker looking nail). How do you stay on top of what's hot this season when the trends from last season are still lingering?

First of all, a trend is only as good as it look on you. If a trend is hot but it does not suit your body or style, it won't look good. Make sure that you are taking the trends and adapting them to fit your lifestyle, body and personal style.

Then - wear what you like!

Here are some of the top trends this season:

1) Asymmetrical dresses
2) Washed out denim jackets - especially paired with dresses
3) Hi-Low hems (I personally love this trend) - this is where the from of the dress (or skirt) is raised higher to expose more leg, yet the back of the hem is longer to create a feminine backdrop.
4) Yellow (warm skin-tones rejoice! This is a great color for those of us with warmer skin-tones - cool skin-tones, try and stick to true, crayon box yellow for the best look with your skin-tone).
5) Bright colored heels (pink is hot right now)
6) Mint green colored bags (I still love the hobo bag)
7) Cut-out dresses - this is a fun, yet risque trend that has small cutouts around the torso of the dress to expose a bit of skin.
8) Loose sweater - great for cozy, rainy days like today.
9) A-line miniskirts
10) Wide-leg pants. This look is flattering on almost everyone - of course it looks better with heels but you don't have to be tall to benefit from the look of the wide-leg pant!

Remember, just because it's trendy doesn't mean it's the best for you - dress for your body and you can't go wrong!

Happy trending!
