Style Guide {Part 2} Dorie




Style Guide
Dorie Swanson Wishmyer is a stylish influence on many. She is a fashion designer and was a lead  designer for the luxury brand, St.John, for 20 +  years, in her hometown of Newport Beach.  More recently she has embarked on her own entrepreneurial endeavors which is inspiring and exciting.  Aside from being incredibly  glamorous, and refreshingly down to earth (a perfect combination in my mind), she is kind, generous and always goes the extra mile.   As you can see, Dorie  has a smile so bright it  goes on for days.  On a side note, she just so happens to be my full  sister (we met in 1996).  What a lovely surprise.  
Thanks for dishing on your favorites today sista! 

Dorie's All time Favorites: 

Beauty Products:     I’m a HUGE Arbonne fan~ the line is healthy,  botanically based, vegan, petro chemical, gluten and fragrance free. What we put ON our bodies is just as important as what we put IN our bodies.  Because our skin is our largest organ it absorbs what we apply & it goes directly into our blood stream.

My Arbonne Favorites:
                     ~Skincare RE9 Advanced skincare program (reverses my sun damage)
             ~ Lips Can’t live without my LIP SAVER spf 30 lip balm  
             ~Base/primer Arbonne’s Makeup Primer and Perfecting liquid foundation. My skin
                     breathes right through it. Love it!!!
             ~Body lotion RE-MINERALIZING detox spa lotion
 My hot tip~ Natural Glow Highlighter. I apply it on my forehead, bridge 
                     of my nose & chin to create a natural glow.
             ~Scent- Michael Kors
Fashionable Favorites:

Fashion icons:   Coco Chanel, Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn

Favorite designers: Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Tory Burch,  however my favorite is      VINTAGE~one of a kind pieces.  I LOVE knowing that I’m the ONLY one with a piece… SO UNIQUE!

My hot tip~ Eating right, hydrating and exercising makes a huge difference. These things keep me balanced and give me energy and a healthy glow.

From Heather- a riddle:  

My mom, Jeri, and my sister, Heidi, and I have been fans of St. John designs for years.  Coincidentally, my  sister,  Dorie, even designed a few of the St. John pieces my mom has collected over the years.  How is it that we all never met until 1996??   Any guesses?   ( I promise-that's a story for another time)
