Dori Szabo: Fly To Paris Fashion AT FORTY FIVE Magazine Issue 2021 16

EDITOR’S NOTES

EDITOR’S NOTES Dressing up is cathartic and good for you and there is science to back it up. Anticipation and excitement release that feel-good hormone dopamine. When we look our best, we feel more confident. When we feel more confident, we think clearer and are more energized. In turn, we exude happiness that is a magnet drawing in other happy people. There is no downside to dressing up. This holiday season fill your schedule with dress-up occasions. BTW even your casual jeans are an opportunity to dress up. This week, get into the spirit of planning and set up your approach to dress-up. Download our holiday planner if you need some help. Take some time to put four or five looks together including accessories, shoes, and your hair and makeup options. Get inspired by the beautiful Party Pretty frocks from our cover woman designer Dori Szabo of Vogue Paris Apparel. Always leave time for a pampering session before the event and create a wind-down routine for afterward. Check the “Joy To The Party Pretty Woman” Gift List for some fabulous ideas. You are the VIP this holiday season. When you take care of yourself everyone around you benefits. Party Pretty, sparkle and shine. SHERRY KALLERGIS EDITOR
