Tune In! metrostyle on Designing Spaces!

Tomorrow is a very exciting day for all of us here at metrostyle! We will be featured on a television segment called Designing Spaces! It is a fun segment showing some of our upcoming styles and also giving some background info on our company. The first appearance is on Friday May 1st at 7:30 am on WE and the second is on Saturday May 2nd at 7:00 am on TLC.

You can see for yourself in the schedule below the rest of the times so you know just when to tune in on your local channel. This is something I was involved in from its very early stages and to see it finalized, after a great deal of group effort, is pretty awesome. I helped out gathering all the samples, fitting them, merchandising them (as seen in the picture), and of course sending them all to the shoot! You should definitely watch our segment and let us know what you thought of it! Set your DVRs, TIVO or whatever you have at your house because you don’t want to miss this! (But if you do, don’t worry, we will post it up here for you to view)

What's the Best or Worst Style Advice Your Mother Has Given You?

With Mother's Day this month the metrostyle e-newsletter paid homage to our Moms by asking metrostyle associates "What is the best fashion advice your mother ever gave you?".  Among the tidbits of advice my mother gave me were these traditional words of wisdom ..."Wear nice underwear in case you're in an accident" and the slightly less traditional "Better to be overdressed than underdressed"
We have all been the recipient of fashion advice (or opinions) from our Mom's whether they were solicited or not.
So we want to know, what is the best or worst fashion advice you ever got from your mom?
Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Later Dude...

Winter is finally over in Massachusetts.
I think...I hope...I'm pretty sure...I'm crossing my fingers

As we move from the darker months of winter to the bright months of Spring & Summer, I am always amazed by the transforming world around me, the trees, the animals...Spring is the time of new beginnings; A time for change, for growth, a time to look back at winter and say
"Later Dude! Yippee Spring!"

I do enjoy the winter. I'm not a complainer. I went snowboarding for the first time, visited with family I hadn't seen in a long time and started working on some projects I had long since set aside to collect dust.
I began to put things into motion.

As I write this, the sun is shining, the sky is a bright blue with one cute fluffy cloud. Spring is HERE! I feel invigorated. I am ready to take on the world. There isn't anything I can't do. I am ready to take that step forward...start a new journey. Brave and strong!

Who's with me!?! haha

Spring Things

I don't know about you but everywhere I look this spring I see yellow!

Out shopping yellow tops keep catching my eye, they really capture the bright and sunny spirit of spring!

In my garden yellow tulips are the first flowers in bloom this year.

Outside the golden yellow sun is warm and inviting, reminding me to get outside and play!

What colors are on your palette this spring?

My celebrity style icon is...

I love, love Audrey Hepburn.

She might be a little too skinny but that is a discussion for another day.
Her style is classic with a twist.

I am not just saying this b/c everyone loves her style but she knows what looks good on her.

Style is not about a brand or labels

That to me is a STYLE ICON.

You can never go wrong with Audrey!

Here are some other ladies I like. Let me know who is your favourite?

It's in the bag!

Yesterday my husband needed some cash. I told him I had some and all he had to do was run upstairs and grab some out of my wallet. After a few minutes passed I heard all sorts of noise coming from our bedroom. There were a few small “thuds” and the rustling of papers. When I walked in the room, my husband was on the floor looking distraught. Surrounding him was a pile of papers, a calculator, lip glosses, a change purse, a mint (unwrapped), an apple, a straw, a makeup bag, a fork, oxy wipes, bobby pins, a comb, many receipts, an empty Tylenol bottle, a travel size deodorant and a single sock to name only a few things.

“Beth, all I need is a dollar; I can’t even find your wallet in this mess..you do realize this is a handbag, not a suitcase right??”.

My secret is out!! I hoard things in my purse!!!! I am not a slob anywhere else; in fact I am the extreme opposite. I clean my house daily, I can’t stand clutter, and I love neat and tidy things. But my handbag…well this is a disaster! I love to throw anything in my bag. In the morning I put my lunch in it to carry it out the door..the mail? Rather than carry it I throw it in there..if my dog wasn’t 50lbs I would put him in there too. I like to think that I am not a slob, but in fact I am using my bag as an assistant!!!

What do you keep in your bag? Is it neat and tidy or a mess like mine!? Please tell me I am not the only person with this problem!! The worst part? I can’t stop! Even after admitting it and writing this, this morning my lunch went right in my bag, and as I was taking out my banana for breakfast, low and behold, last nights unopened mail came tumbling out!
