Know what I love?
Know what I love?❣️ I love shopping small businesses. In fact, I love it so much that I actually bought a local retail store. Yes. Call me crazy (believe me my husband certainly has), but I am so passionate about the importance of #shoplocal that I stepped into that arena. Now don’t get me […]

Outside My Comfort Zone Again. But We Need To Talk.
Here I am again, outside my comfort zone, but we need to keep the conversation going.

Eartha and Kitt styled together. Combining hers and mine beautifully.
Eartha Kitt and Kitt Shapiro. Our mother-daughter styles blend beautifully together. This is definitely my favorite room in the house and I have the pleasure of looking into it every day because the french doors of my office open to this serene space.

Eartha and Kitt blended together. Her wisdom, my eye.
My mother was my biggest supporter and maybe because I was an extension of her name, she thought I too had the ability to be a creative. One of the many hobbies I have delved into over the years has been photography, and my mother always praised my ‘eye’ and enjoyed having my images framed […]

Our Mother Daughter Style
Our mother daughter style was quite different. Aside from the difference in our height (she was five feet two inches and I am five feet seven inches), skin and hair coloring ( check out my post Why Don’t You Look More Like Your Mother?, for more on that), my mother, Eartha Kitt, was attracted to […]

Smile and Be Bold. Kitt Shapiro loves a red lip color for the holiday season.
I love a Bold Lip, and December is the perfect time of year to wear red. My favorite red lip color is Amaranth by Albeit at Anthropologie ( I actually wear it all year long). It’s perfect for smiling, which, if you know me, I do a lot. Here are a couple of […]
