Let’s tell the truth, the real brains and brawn behind Life Simplified is Sheila C.Connor. Sheila is not only one of the best friends anyone could be blessed to have in life but she is a stellar mother of four. I am happy to call her my friend of twenty plus years and a business partner.
In her ‘spare time’ Sheila is the quintessential “Girl Friday” and "Virtual Assistant”. Sheila provides an array of services to her business clients from bookkeeping to corporate travel arrangements and everything in between.

She will work with you to help decide what to keep and what needs to go away. Make the most efficient use of the space you have; organize it in a way that makes sense for you and that you will be able to maintain. Sheila will help you create a less hectic atmosphere in your office or in your home, so that you can truly enjoy them and be productive.

No project is too small or too large for Sheila.
Onto my fashion summary for the week:
As many of you are aware I am a true minimalist aesthete. I love the art deco 1920s-1930s eras. I sometimes believe that I was born in the wrong time period. One of my favorite finds this week has been fashion designer Frank Tell http://www.frank-tell.com who is offering terrific party dresses in the style of the 1920s. I would love to see a revival in our popular culture of an elegance in dressing.
My grandmother’s antique ring has been reworked and returned to me from Eva at Shakeh Designs. If you are looking for custom and handmade jewelry and to achieve some sort of recombining or repurposing of what you already own, as I did, she is worth contacting. I love the work she did for me. Not only is she a talented designer of jewelry but she is the most wonderful person. Contact her at eva@shakehdesigns.com or (617) 306-0105.
When I am not romping around town in the style of the roaring 20s clutching a copy of The Great Gatsby novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald I would wear anything by Norma Kamali www.normakamalicollection.com or Norma Kamali for Everlast at www.nordstrom.com. I know just what you are all thinking- that she is so 1960s, but retro is good only if it was good the first time round and Norma Kamali was good that first time around.
Another favorite of mine for daywear, underwear and tees is Petit Bataeu
www.petit-bateau.com Shop in store at 171 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 (617) 425-0042
My footwear accoutrements are defined by my work www.dansko.com Dansko shoes are my preferred work uniform, I know they are not sexy. I am on my feet for eight hours a day five days a week, I need comfort. If you work in the medical field, retail, childcare or the restaurant business I think everyone should own a pair. Any back pain will go away if you wear these shoes.
For some fun I found that Loeffler Randau made a beautiful pair of ballet flats called ‘Rosette’ for Target stores, available for a mere $30.00 on line at www.target.com
Lastly, I still adore a good pair of Converse for bumming around on my days off. You can go online if you feel creative and design your own shoes. www.converse.com
Free tips of the week:
www.charitynavigator.org a great resource to use before you become involved with a charity. This site is a tool that helps you understand where your money is actually going. One charity worth looking into is www.firstbook.org so check them out on charity navigator.
A green education tool I was researching this week is www.nativeenergy.com I would love to know what people think about this site.
Catering- Tables of Content Catering is the very best in Boston. If you are doing any corporate event or a private party at your home you need Linda DeFranco. Before you move ahead with any one else contact this catering business at lindad@tablesofcontent.com or at (617) 363-0404. You will have a wonderful experience. I put my friend Bonnie onto them and her organization was more than delighted.
