As we come into the holiday season and the end of 2017, I wanted to take this time to say thank you to my wonderful clients and the amazing network of people who make GTD the best it can be! It's been a year of transition and growth for me and it wouldn't have been possible without the support of my clients, friends and the many professional collaborations I've made along the way with their great business advice! It was an exciting year for us with our expansion to the Westside and Valley, as we now offer the same luxury services to a whole new roster of clients. A lot of hard work by our team here at GTD has brought this vision to light and I'm very grateful. Thank you to [...]

It is very easy to forget to celebrate the milestones in my journey as a business owner.  It's amazing that it has been less than a year since I re-branded to GTD Image Consulting, launched a new website and started to earnestly communicate on a regular basis with my readers.   I wanted to take a moment to stop and thank everyone who has helped me in the process, most especially my Brand Manager, Francine Hwang.  She has been instrumental in helping to take my vision from concept to creation. My clients are the reason why I wake up excited to take on each day. I am truly grateful to help them, and seeing my work appreciated by so many, is something I deeply value. I have also enjoyed the support of [...]

With the rain and cold temperatures we've been having in LA, I'm now longing for a warm weather getaway!  Hawaii anyone?  Or how about Cabo?  In my previous newsletter I recommended some stylish and practical items to keep you warm, but if you're now ready for a tropical destination, below are a few essentials to keep you looking great and feeling cool. My recommendations: 1. Breezy Dresses Perfect for throwing on over your bathing suit or for a dinner out! Dresses are a no-fuss option to bring for warm weather.  Keep your look casual with flats or sandals for day, then you can dress it up with a pair of wedges later.  Opt for more fun colors or prints you wouldn't typically wear back at home. 1. Bohemian Caftan 2. Lafayette 148 [...]

With all the rain we've been having here in Los Angeles you might be planning a winter getaway, because in the mountains, that means snow!  Whether you will be strolling city sidewalks or sitting by the fire in a country cabin, I have some great essentials to pack, keep you warm and of course, looking great. My recommendations: 1. Layers Forgo the bulky sweaters which are tough to pack and oftentimes don't fit well under a coat. Those wool sweaters also limit your ability to switch up outfits with different accessories.  Instead opt for turtlenecks or long sleeve tees which can be worn on their own, under a cardigan or button down shirt or under a jacket.  You can also change up your look by wrapping a scarf around you.  Here is [...]

A quick closet cleanup is a great way to start the New Year off right, after all everyone has to get dressed in the morning.  Why not make it as easy as possible! Dedicate a weekend to organizing your closet using my tips below. 1. Freebies We probably all could use more space (and definitely more organization) when it comes to our closets.  Freebies or giveaways such as promotional tees, canvas bags, and tchotchkes should all be donated, repurposed or thrown out.  Save your closet space for items you love! 2. Old Shoeboxes As much as we love opening a newly purchased pair of shoes with its pristine shoe box, the fact is by keeping them, they are just taking up space.  Even the resale stores don't want them!  Most shoe boxes [...]

  I've had a chance to look back and reflect on this past year, and GTD Image Consulting had a great 2016! I am so grateful to all who contributed to the success of this past year. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with my new and existing clients, and I am thankful for your continued business.
