PACIFICA, CA, February 07, 2013 (Press-News.org) Being able to combine three or more talents into one workable business is a great challenge. Not so for Gerri D Smith, who is a fashion apparel and accessory designer, entrepreneur, creative writer, author and publisher, and an online fashion, beauty and wellness expert. Gerri says, "My constant passion is to encourage, support and inspire women to become extraordinary for their inner beauty as well as for their external appearance."
For well over twenty years, Gerri creates inspirational fashion and image improvement articles, and much more, through her business, Distinctive Elegance. It is a virtual fashion boutique and also an online fashion information and educational resource. The site is tailored to women business owners, professionals, celebrities, entertainers, socialites, cruise travelers, and women who love to dress up for glamorous evenings and special events.
The apparel creations are sold exclusively online by special order. Luxurious fabrics, as well as other affordable blends are used to create one-of-a-kind designs. Some styles include matching accessories that enhance a woman's confidence. "The quality of the design is more important than the price," states Gerri. And what keeps Gerri in the fashion business is her wish to create classical elegance at a reasonable price.
On the writing side of her business, for well over ten years, as a writer, author, and publisher, Gerri has published over 50 inspirational fashion and image improvement articles, wardrobe tips, special reports, fashion eCourses and eBooks. Her written works are meticulously created for that certain woman who knows how important it is to care about image, style, and wellness.
Along with self-improvement articles, tips, and quotes, Gerri's first classical novel; part autobiographical and part fiction hit the market in 2009. Her novel titled, A Challenge of Love," is based on true events covering abuse in its many devastating forms.
Abuse is one of the most important social problems that is so prevalent in our society today. It is an ongoing topic that needs to be continuously addressed - and eliminated. Gerri, the author of the novel lived through emotional, physical, and mental abuse and survived the pain and distrust of the opposite sex. That experience led to the publication, and the healing value of this classical, yet informative story.
