The Pursuit of Fabulous: Your Best Foot Forward

August 2, 2011

A conversation with Ellen Lubin-Sherman, author, The Essentials of Fabulous/Because Whatever Doesn’t Work Here Anymore… First impressions are everything.

July 26, 2011

A conversation with Ellen Lubin-Sherman, author, The Essentials of Fabulous/Because Whatever Doesn’t Work Here Anymore… The fabulous people of the world are fabulous because they work at it.
