The A-List - Fashion, Style Inspiration, What to Wear to Work -Everything 'HOT & COOL'!

Marcia's A-List

 

 
Read a recent interview in "Stylist" magazine with 'Fit-Flop' and 'Soap & Glory' founder, Marcia Kilgore.  Some of her advice makes for not only good applications in biz - but in life too...

* On creating successful businesses:  "An idea is never enough though.  One of the reasons I've succeeded is because I think in terms of press coverage - what might be worth a couple of lines in newspapers and magazines."

* "I've devised the "so what" test for all my ideas:  I ask myself, "so what - who would care?"  If I can't answer that in one sentence then it's just not good enough."

* "I use what I call the "death-bed-test" I ask myself, If I was on my death bed would I wish I'd done X or Y?  If it's  a choice between a finance meeting or the boys' sports days at school.  I'm going to wish I attended the sports day aren't I?

Having been in the Fashion Biz for a zillion years - both my sister and I are CONSTANTLY asked for help and advice by young designers and fashion entrepreneurs.

No question bothers us  - we'll do our best - and we always say "Don't make any mistakes we've already made"... Ask away!

This book might help too....... GOOD LUCK!

This Weekend's Shopping List

   


An article in Fitness Magazine says that as well as dehydrate you (duh) and give you a pounding headache (damn), "Alcohol also increases the secretion of acid in the stomach and irritates the stomach lining."  Says Robert Swift, MD, PhD, Assoc. Dir. of the Brown Univ. Cntr for Alcohol and Addiction Studies (mouthful).

Solution: "Eat a piece of toast with honey. Honey is an excellent source of fructose, a sugar that research shows may help your body get rid of alcohol's toxins quicker."

Says so here too...

Allie says: I like these.  (not that I've ever had a hangover)
