Sarah is the Assistant Lifestyles Designer at AML.

From a young age, Sarah knew that she would make a career doing something she loved. After graduating High School and furthering her education in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing at Bay State College in Boston, she was working in retail and free-lance wardrobe styling. It wasn't long after when she completed several styling classes from the well known School of Style in Los Angeles and began working at Amy McLaughlin Lifestyles. From TV Pilots, Magazine Covers and working one-on-one with private clients, her love for Fashion and Timeless style has made her not only a dear friend but great assistant stylist at AML.

A POP of
Peplum!

Ranging from tops to fitted dresses to skirts, Peplum has for sure
been making its way back onto retail floors and into many peoples
closets. Hesitant at first I was to purchase a top, unsure of
how it hugs the body and accentuates the figure, but completely
satisfied once I followed through with trying it on (something I
am known for NEVER doing).

Any who, one of the reasons that Peplum pieces
can look so flattering on a woman's figure is because
it accentuates the smallest part of our bodies (the waist) to
show the hour glass figure and creating a smooth shape
from our shoulders down.

While this trend if often seen dressed up with a
pencil skirt or found on a fitted cocktail dress, a top
can easily been put together with a pair of dark denim
jeans to create a more casual look.

Take a peak at some of our favorite Peplum pieces and
maybe you'll find one that works just for you!
