Monina shares her compelling journey, starting with her own battle with acne at just nine years old. This personal struggle not only led her to discover the field of aesthetics but also instilled in her a deep understanding of the psychological impact of skin issues.

Her narrative takes us through her early career, initially in preschool teaching, and how her passion for makeup, combined with her skincare knowledge, naturally evolved into a professional path. Her transition highlights how personal challenges can fuel a fulfilling career that helps others overcome similar obstacles.

She delves into the significance of understanding one's skin, including the effects of diet and gut health on skin condition. This point underscores the philosophy that beauty is not just surface level but deeply intertwined with our overall health and well-being.

Tips for Aging Skin

Focusing on women over 40, Monina provides invaluable advice on combating the signs of aging, with a particular emphasis on sun protection as a cornerstone of skincare.

She explains the science behind sun damage and its long-term effects on the skin, advocating for daily sunscreen use as a non-negotiable part of one's skincare routine. Additionally, she touches on the importance of exfoliation in maintaining skin vitality, offering practical tips for integrating this step into skincare regimens.

Professional Advice and Personal Care

Highlighting the value of professional skincare consultations, Monina advises listeners on how to approach skincare treatments and routines with a personalized plan. She stresses the need for customization in skincare, reflecting on her practice of working closely with clients to identify their unique skin concerns and tailor treatments accordingly.

Through her expert tips, Monina encourages listeners to prioritize their skin, illustrating how small, consistent acts of care can lead to significant improvements in skin health and appearance.

Fashion Friends what is happening!?

It's your favorite personal stylist, Holly Katz, diving into the fabulous world of Encore Brides. 2nd time around? 3rd? No worries; we've got you covered. Fresh off the wedding weekend of my stepson, I'm here to bring you some bridal style inspo and wisdom for those walking down the aisle for an encore.

And, for the first time brides over 40, you're in luck. Read on. 

This Week's Highlights:

Wedding Wins: As the step monster of the groom, the happy couple reigned suprime and so did Holly's dresses, let's be honest. Thanks to some sneaky shoe inserts from Vivian Lou, she danced the night away in her Alexander McQueen dress and aquazzura shoes. #eveningshoewin

Comfort and style can coexist, ladies! (Alcohol helps too). Make sure you hit up your Pinterest board for the week with all of the encore bridal style inspo you need. 

Encore Brides 101: When planning to celebrate your love in front of friends and fam again,  Let's make it even better this time! Embrace the do-over and make this celebration scream 'you.' Whether it's ditching the traditional dress or going big on a second dress, it's all about what makes you feel fabulous.

Trend Talk: Non-traditional wedding dresses are all the rage, with the hashtag #nontraditionalweddingdress blowing UP on TikTok. We are all for making a statement that's authentically you, whether it's a splash of color or a chic suit. White NOT required this time around. 

Hot Tips for Shopping: Timing is everything. Which means, not shopping too early, which means NOT jumping the gun on buying that dress or those shoes you love 11 months in advance. A six to eight-month lead time is perfect for making sure you're absolutely in love with your choices.

For the Guests: A shoutout to Jane, our loyal listener, who wanted to ask Holly if she liked a particular dress for a wedding she was going to attend in October. Shopping too early is a fashion crime. Don't. Do. It. If you do, believe me, it will lose it's luster. Wait for the invite before splurging on that perfect dress.

Final Thoughts: Whether it's your wedding, or someone else's, remember, to use this opportunity to be the best-dressed wedding guest. Because that's what we are here at the Fashion Crimes Podcast. We are always the best dressed, especially at weddings. 

Fashion Crimes are out there BUT can be avoided. Here's to making every moment (and outfit) count. Can't wait to hear your stories of style triumphs and wedding bliss when you write to us and tell us all about it. holly@fashioncrimespodcast.com or holly@hollykatzstyling.com. You might just get a shout-out! We love fan mail~

Until next time, keep it stylish, keep it fun, and keep tuning into the Fashion Crimes Podcast. where we are fashion over 40....waaaayyy over 40. The only Holly you need to know, signing off, but just for now. . Stay fabulous, Fashion Friends and let us hear from you!

In Episode 172 of the Fashion Crimes Podcast, host Holly Katz and special guest Abby Young dive deep into the world of fashion, style, and color analysis. Abby is a personal commercial and fashion wardrobe stylist hailing from the sunny shores of California. Together they explore the significance of color analysis in fashion!

LISTEN HERE!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Fashion Styling and Self-Image Transformation

Abby shares her remarkable journey from being an eighth-grade teacher (UM WHAAT) to transitioning into the world of fashion styling. She attributes her passion for fashion and her love for teaching as the driving forces behind this transformative career change. Abby also highlights her move from the chill vibes of Minnesota to the vibrant fashion scene of California, appreciating the state's relaxed, bohemian atmosphere.

Holly and Abby then take a deep dive into the importance of style and self-expression, especially for mothers who might feel they've lost their fashion mojo after having children. Abby's personal journey may resonate with many listeners who have considered reinventing themselves through fashion.

Color Analysis and Personalized Styling

As personal stylists, Holly and Abby discuss the art of guiding clients through a personalized style journey. Holly emphasizes the importance of analyzing a client's silhouette and body type, enabling a strong foundation for personalized shopping with elite clients. Abby explains how the aging process can impact color choices, with colors generally remaining consistent every 10 years due to changes in pigmentation of one's complexion.

Abby underscores that high-level executives and entrepreneurs should invest in color testing to optimize their appearance and how they're perceived by their audience. She employs various techniques to determine a client's undertones, examining their skin tone across all four seasons and evaluating the contrast between their skin and the colors they wear.

Color Analysis and Fashion Advice

Holly and Abby explore the intricacies of color analysis, emphasizing that it goes beyond personal preference. Understanding how colors interact with different skin tones is crucial. They urge listeners to seek out trained professionals for in-person color analysis, as digital tests can be unreliable.

Color Analysis and The Personalized Styling Process

Holly asks about the specifics of Abby’s color analysis testing process, including duration and cost. Abby explains that her process typically takes around 30-45 minutes, with clients receiving their reports within one to two weeks. Clients can choose to work with Abby for clothing, makeup, or both. She also provides insights on selecting makeup colors that complement one's skin tone and facial structure.

Abby’s Mantra:

“At the end of the day - or when in doubt on what to wear - wear something that brings you confidence, whether you are sure or not that it looks good, or it's the right color. Wear something that you feel confident in when you leave the house - because mentally - you'll feel more confident, and people will see that.”

And that’s the short story on this week’s episode. Be sure to get the full episode and all our exclusive fashion insights wherever you get your podcasts.

We are so grateful for Abby’s fabulous fashion insights! Please follow her on Instagram or find out more about her services on her website.

FASHION CRIMES PODCAST

“The Best Fashion Friend You Never Knew You Needed”

Hosted by your favorite personal stylist, Holly Katz!

www.fashioncrimespodcast.com

We are SO EXCITED to introduce our Very Special Guest this week - The Master of Bra-Fitting - Jenette Goldstein of Jenette Bras. 

Jenette is a former award-winning actor (Aliens) and founder of Jenette Bras, a bra-fitting boutique specializing in sizes D-K, with locations in L.A. and Atlanta. Her tagline: "The alphabet starts at "D"."

As we all know - this is Holly’s favorite subject. But for a twist, Holly is the one learning new lessons - and her MIND WAS BLOWN after a session with Jenette at her boutique in Atlanta.

Join us this week as Jenette shares her amazing story of how she went from Hollywood movie sets to creating a niche business from scratch - with no business experience - and has found great create success by serving woman in a category that has mostly been ignored. 

LISTEN TO EPISODE 169 here!

ABOUT JENETTE:

Jenette Goldstein is the co-founder and CEO of Jenette Bras, the nation’s premier bra-fitting boutique for full-busted women. The company was founded in East Hollywood in 2009 and has grown to include four shops in Southern California and two in Atlanta.

She is also known for starring as Private Vasquez in the sci-fi horror film Aliens (1986), which won her the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress.

But what are here this week to celebrate her journey from successful actress to female entrepreneur – and the mountains she has climbed in-between. 

HOW IT STARTED:

For Jenette, this whole story may have started at age 12, when she visited the local “bra lady” with her mother, near a kosher butcher. 

This was mortifying, but her visits to mall stores were even worse. The fits were abysmal; either the cups were too small, or the band slipped down to her waist. The problem continued plaguing her throughout her life. 

With a 32 G bra size, describing herself as “small framed” yet “busty,” she grew increasingly frustrated.

But then, purely by divine intervention, she was in London and found a store servicing “girls that have a small ribcage and a fuller bust.” This experience literally changed her life, because this type of service and women’s undergarments in untypical sizes did not exist in the United States. 

Fastforward to somewhere around the time in her 40s, when she found acting jobs becoming scarce, because Hollywood sucks for women. 

So, with no business experience, she and her artist husband decided to fill the missing gap in women’s bra sizes and options by opening their first Jenette Bras boutique in LA. 

She has since gone from launching a new career, a new company, expanding her brick-and-mortar stores, weathering the shutdown of COVID in the retail sector - and defying ageism – to become THE EXPERT in women’s foundation wear. 

HOW TO BUY A BRA THAT FITS: The Importance of Bra Comfort & Self-Acceptance

A bra is the most technical piece of clothing to produce. You can compare it to a men’s tailored suit and or a finely made pair of shoes.

A bra must do the work. For instance, a skirt doesn't have to lift you, it can just look beautiful. The arch of a shoe must do the work: if it does support your arch, your whole body is affected.

The job of a bra is incredibly complicated. It must give comfort, support, and create a beautiful profile. Therefore, the research and development of making this item of clothing is intense. 

“The price is not luxury pricing, it's quality pricing.”

A bra is intimate. It is a beautiful piece of clothing. It's what you put on the first thing in the morning, and it should make you feel beautiful (as well as fit well, be comfortable and create a gorgeous silhouette).

That is your secret power. This is your blueprint for getting dressed. This is the foundation of building a great outfit. 

Creating an outfit and feeling beautiful takes practice. And you really must start with the undergarments that support your body and give you the confidence that you need to feel fabulous in your clothes.

Everyone has what they call “problem areas,” or parts of the body they are self-conscious about. But this should not bring shame or embarrassment. 

You have the power to reshape or support those areas so that you have the kind of confidence that makes you shine from within. Confidence is key.

Holly and Jenette discuss their favorite undergarment brands, the benefits of a professional bra-fitting, and how bras are constructed so you can become an educated consumer!

We had SO MUCH FUN meeting Jenette, and we are grateful for the wealth of knowledge she has imparted on us this week!

FASHION CRIMES PODCAST

“The Best Fashion Friend You Never Knew You Needed!”

Welcome to this special episode of the FASHION CRIMES PODCAST, where we celebrate the timeless allure of wisdom and the incredible journey of all women when they finally become “of a certain age.”

Your favorite personal stylist, and hostess with the mostest  - HOLLY KATZ - celebrated the BIG 5-0 this week! #DAMN

HOW IT STARTED:

How was it turning 50? She did it! And she lived through it! And, yes, it was a fabulous, fabulosu day!

But she woke up feeling like, in order to get a handle on her second half, she needed to have some clear well-being goals that were going to give her new thought patterns moving forward. #sowise

Now that she is older and wiser, (right?) she decided that she wanted to shed some of the old self-limiting beliefs and create some new uplifting, self-loving beliefs. 

This year, like many of us, had some major growing pains. So, with a new therapist, and an optimistic outlook, we thought it would be perfect for us to reflect on 10 Things That are Fabulous about Being 50 (or turning 50, or half-way through your 50s, etc.)

HOLLY’S 10 THINGS THAT ARE FABULOUS ABOUT 50

10: You’re wearing the right bra.

At this point in your life, your bra is the right size. There's no more guessing or wondering what your size is, you have the right bra which makes your clothes look better and fall correctly on your body. The bra-fitting experience is not only life changing, but also better for your posture and corrects any back issues that you may have.

9: You get to choose your own friends. Yes, you do.

You now have the guts to remove people in your life that are no longer serving you. Think of this: after the last time someone takes advantage of you, or hurts your feelings, or takes you for granted - you need to be over it. Some people are in your life for a reason, some for a season, some for a lifetime. 

8: You dress according to your body type.   

At this point, you are well aware of which clothes elevate your mood and make you happy. You are body-aware and love to wear clothes that flatter your figure and your shape, which means you have correctly identified your body type. This means you know what cuts and silhouettes look best on you. Which means you only shop according to your body type, you do not shop for color, and you do not shop for price. 

7: You’ve not afraid to say NO.   

Or, at least you are getting better at saying no. Most of us do not want to disappoint people - and we may even bend over backwards to not make people upset. We’d rather rearrange our schedule, just to avoid saying “no.” Is this you? Well, not anymore, Sister. 

6: You continue to elevate your style as you age.

By now, you know your body type and you enjoy shopping because you know what looks best on you. You're also not afraid to try new things that might be a little out of your comfort zone. You are wearing ‘elevated basics’ at home, which means you won’t embarrass yourself if the delivery guy rings your doorbell and he needs a signature. 

5: You have self-care time each week.

If you are a person that doesn't have control of their own schedule, chauffeurs kids in the car all day, is responsible for several people's well-being, and/or taking care of a loved one or sick person – you need self-care time. If you're working over 40 hours a week, or if you're lucky just to eat lunch during the day or have time to pee in between meetings - this one is for you.

Listen up for the rest of the list on the FASHION CRIMES PODCAST, where we celebrate the timeless allure of wisdom and the incredible journey of all women when they finally start their fabulous 50's!

HOW ITS GOING:

It’s going great, because we are in our 50s now, and we just don’t have so much baggage anymore. (And, you bought a copy of Holly’s new book for yourself, and all your girlfriends, so now you have all the answers.)
