Miss Fashionista

What you wear counts. No matter what you think about fashion, when it comes down to it, what you wear is important. As a matter of fact, fashion has been important all over the world for centuries. Fashion has been used in history to show status and class, it has been used in the modern era to reflect one’s personality and style and it is used to make a good first impression.

Now that cheaper stores such as Target and Forever 21 are producing trendy clothes at affordable prices, fashion is becoming somewhat of a bigger issue—especially for women. Cheap and trendy clothes make fashion more accessible therefore women are paying more attention to what they’re wearing.

The question remains of how to put all these colors, fabrics, and styles together without overdoing it and yet still let who you are shine through.

Sharon Haver, a fashion stylist and columnist, is described on FocusOnStyle.com as one who “knows what the modern-thinking woman wants—easygoing style that suits her individual needs, spiced with just the right amount of flip and wit.”

Haver has been in the fashion industry for about 20 years and is called a “beauty guru.” She makes a great fashion informer because she seems to have an eye for the latest trends, whether it is inexpensive or pricey.

Her columns give women guidance on the latest fashion and beauty tricks and how to use them in everyday wear. She uses fashion and beauty in a down-to-earth way so that all women can relate to it. Her columns empower women to boost their confidence level by looking their best. She gives advice on how to achieve the look you’re going for and how to “build a fantastic figure-flattering wardrobe.”

Haver’s experience in the fashion world has included her being a “New York-based photography fashion stylist, syndicated columnist, contributing editor, lecturer, on-air television/radio fashion expert, and founder/ style director of FocusOnStyle.com.”

Haver’s career in writing and fashion started with an advice column called “Sharon Haver’s FOCUS ON STYLE.” Scripps Howard News Service once distributed FocusOnStyle to nearly 400 daily newspapers and websites before FocusOnStyle grew into an independently operated online magazine. She now writes multiple columns for the magazine such as “StyleThing!” and “QuickFix.” The columns give news on the latest buzz in fashion and quick makeover tips. “Focus on Style” remains the anchor for the publication with about 12 million viewers annually.

“A tremendous amount of work has gone into this site, it is well developed, it is easy to navigate, and it has more interesting ideas than you can shake a stick at!” a reader said.

Macy’s is using Haver in their commercials as the “fashion guru” and also as their spokesperson for their fall advertising and marketing campaign. She has also made appearances on TV and radio shows such as Martha Stewart Living Radio, American Journal, The Montel Williams Show and more.

As a photography fashion stylist, Haver has been able to work with magazine covers and pages, catalogs, advertisements and visual imaging. Magazines Haver has done work for include Vogue Mexcio and Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee. (The list continues.)

As a fashion stylist, Haver has had the opportunity to dress celebrities such as supermodel Rebecca Romijn, Elle McPhearson and Kelly Rippa.

Haver’s career in being a fashion stylist and columnist is a huge success. She is very dedicated to her fashion columns and to giving women the “know-how-to look within the framework of her own figure, budget, and lifestyle.”

Haver’s readers speak highly of her work and respond well to the advice she offers.

“If you want a spirited ‘best friend’ in the fashion business who solves all your style dilemmas, look no further than Sharon Haver,” FocusOnStyle.com wrote.
