Who do you imagine yourself as, a soccer mom, a writer, a philanthropist? If you are stuck in a position where you don’t know who or what you want to be, add a little accessory to your life. It just may be your guiding light. Such is the case for CEO of Kaiio jewelry and accessories, Christine Ko.

What do your accessories say about you? Do you relate to seeing someone wearing a certain piece of accessory and thinking, that is cute; I would like to wear the same?

Have you fallen into a rut with your life? It seems as though becoming an adult goes hand in hand with imitating a robot. Does your life feel like a scene from the movie “Groundhog Day”?

Do you remember playing in your mother’s accessories when you were a little girl? I believe every female grows up wanting to be a princess, to look glamorous, to feel pretty. Rather it was putting on high heel shoes that were many sizes too big, trying on earrings, bracelets, rings, pinning your hair up; we have spent hours in the mirror imagining being the most beautiful girl in the world. If you remember how fabulous you felt when you “dressed up,” you can relate to the little girl in your life today who wants to feel the same way.

Have you ever seen a movie and thought, “Wow, that was a great story line, but something was missing”? Do you go to the theater only to support your favorite actor/actress but leave disappointed because you kept being distracted by something? Oftentimes when a story line is not flowing, we lose focus and shift our attention to the setting, the costumes, the hair, the make-up.

It has been said that clothes do not make the person; well it sure does make or break your attitude. Let’s face it, when you look good, you feel good. On days you need a quick pick me up, accessorize with a scarf! It is that simple.

Have you ever been out on a date having a great time or in a meeting receiving great news but the look on your face is sheer agony? Shoes play a very important part in our life. Not only do they protect our feet or enhance an outfit, shoes play a part in how we look and can oftentimes mislead others on how we feel.

Many people place fragrance in the cosmetic category, this is wrong. A certain scent should be considered with clothing choice. It was once said, “A wardrobe is not complete without a fitting fragrance”, and I couldn’t agree more. Just as a pair of hideous earrings or necklace can be so distracting it may ruin an outfit, an inappropriate scent can be just as disturbing.

Selling her handmade jewelry 1991 at the flea market in Pasadena, Marcia Maizel-Clarke recognized a need for positive, insightful, and personal jewelry . . . jewelry that speaks to its wearer. A year later, Dogeared was born. Now after 21 years, the brand has blazed a trail of designs with subtle classics, eclectic and unexpected statements of jewelry that reflect love, kindness, and consciousness.

We live in a world that is in constant motion. Whether you are a CEO or a stay-at-home mom, there always seems to be someone to call, somewhere to be, or someone to drop off to a game or baseball practice.
