Real People. Real Style.

My passion for styling touches every area of my life.  The thrill of refining and perfecting energies me every single day.  This passion has led me to a full redesign of my website - launching today! - where women looking to honor their true style can find style tips, resources, look book inspiration and, best of all, real life stories of women I have worked with to restyle their look and their wardrobes.  

In my Woman of the Week section today, you'll find the lovely and talented Sara, a mother of three who was oh-so-ready to re-do her look...and within a reasonable budget.  

Sara - Janel Dyan's Woman of the Week 

"Janel started with my closet and helped me to rediscover the pieces I loved and then helped me select new pieces to complete my own individual look."

While working with clients, I am committed to guiding them in finding their signature style and then creating a real path to using that style to feel great every day, no matter what they're doing.

Just Mascara

In 2009, my second son was a few months old. One day, I was having a conversation with a mommy friend. It went like this:

Favoite Brands:  Perricon MD, Stila, 
Urban Decay Big Fatty, Blinc

Friend: "You wear workout clothes everyday. You should wear jeans and a cute top sometime."

Janel:  "Why? I'm comfortable in these and I'm just at home with the boys."

Friend:  "Just try a different look. You have all these clothes in here (opening up my closet)."

Janel:  "I should try ... but it takes too much energy."

Friend:  "How about starting with mascara?"

Janel:  "Mascara? Why? I'm not going out."

Friend:  "But you are starting your day. Take those extra 30 seconds. You'll feel different. Trust me." 

So I did. Every morning. Whether I wanted to or not, the little voice said, "just mascara". Makeup or no makeup, my lashes were done. 

I own four tubes of mascara at all times. One in my car. One in my purse. One in my travel tote. One in my makeup drawer. 

I do feel better. It's a reminder to take care of myself, even if it's just mascara.
