Sun Bunny

What lady doesn't want to keep her skin looking youthful and fresh? One doesn't have to ponder too long on that question, we all do and if you say you don't care you are just trying to be cool and one day you will think differently.

I found a product that I have been using for about a year now and I must say it feels great being asked,"what is going on with you, you look so fresh"? I can tell you I am not doing anything differently and lord knows when it comes to the waistline I could be doing a lot more! ( Amazing how just work stress and a glass of wine to relax at night can really pack on the pounds) With all that being said, my secret to youth or at least not aging as quickly is Kate Somerville!
For all those sun bunnies out there, like myself, there is a special for the next 2 days and her summer kit is a must have and you get her anti-aging kit free!
Check it out and be sure to use the June coupon code and enjoy getting your vitamin D!

You Do the Math

We all know how frustrating it can be shopping and see a piece you just can't live without and once you look at the price tag the realization hits-you have to continue to live without.

I am happy to represent a line in mens custom clothes that has taken that challenge out of the buying equation for men's shopping! We all want fine things no matter how large or small our wallet. J.Hilburn started back in 2007 with custom shirts, and of course that is the speciality, but now you can get a Zegna fabric sport coat at a fraction of the price.


Here is a sample of what we will have available in July. What you see here is an off the rack Zegna sport coat. What do you think this cost would be- $1200, $1300??






Well, let's take a look....
I can translate this cost for you... $!%*%>)), wait that is $1585.00! Some may say well that is pretty good for a sports coat, it is a well known brand from an Italian mill. Guess what, J Hilburn has the exact same  fabric but with two extra benefits: one, it is a custom sports coat and two, the cost is $685.
Like I said, "you do the math."  That is what I call style for a steal!

Work in Progress

So I am up in the air about the title of this blog. Personally, I am one who likes my name. Myra is unique and a family name that goes back five generations. However, this blog is not always going to be focused on style. It will reflect many musings I have on a variety of topics. With that being said what do you think is a catchy name? Style by Myra seems so bland! Thoughts???

Until next time- M

Inaugral Post

Welcome to my stress releasing, thought dumping, take on style, outlet! I am laughing out loud as I have been sitting here for the past twenty minutes thinking, what the hell am I going to say here; like the world would really being reading moi blog. Oh gosh it must be a case of writers block, which really makes my laugh out loud again as I am the worst writer I know. Amery or better known as "Mami", my cousin, is the best writer I know and if she was not busy trying to jump start her legal/political career and if I had any extra funds, she would be my ghost writer. A dream one day for she and I to sip while eating bon bons on the beach in Florida writing our award winning novel of family life as we know it.


According to Webster style is defined as-a : a distinctive manner of expression  b : a distinctive manner or custom of behaving or conducting oneself .  I hope you will enjoy my individual take on the many different styles that make our beautiful world go round. At the end of the day you may get a jolt of stress relieving laughter.
