About Us
Our Shop:
Offering an amazing collection from 17th to 20th century Fine art, Porcelain, Antique furniture and Decorative elements. We're constantly updating our unique inventory from private collectors and estates as well as our own travels. You'll find we sell a diversified and unique selection of all that is rare and beautiful for the home or office

Get to know me:
I've been serving the South Florida community as well as my worldwide friends/customers for over ten years with an impeccable record! I started selling antiques years ago and our shop at Ruby Lane was then known as Always In Style Antiques and subsequently opened our first luxury store called Always In Style Luxury Goods. We sold our business three years ago and we're so happy to be back on Ruby Lane where in the same tradition as before we offer fine antiques and decorative elements for the home. I've worked as a designer for local contractors while simultaneously operating my stores. I am a skilled designer and sales professional and I love what I do and sell. I have a passion for Fine art, antique furniture and all the details that make for a wonderful home!

My philosophy:
I developed my trademark and reputation by good old-fashion hard work; valuing my customers and offering the best customer service my customers so rightfully deserve. I strongly believe in being accessible to my customers as I fully understand it's often hard to visualize how and item would look in our own home, so please feel free to contact me anytime as I love talking about the home and I'm at your service for any decorating ideas.


My stores:
In October, 2000 – November 2009 I opened my first luxury goods store known as Always in Style Luxury Goods. As founder and President I took a small antique business and grew it into a major niche player in the online consumer goods market. Became one of the most profitable resellers of antiques as well as luxury goods such as pre-owned Louis Vuitton and Chanel handbags on the internet. I was able to successfully grow by over 50% per year, during one of the worst economic climates, by developing new marketing channels and using online promotional techniques. I transformed a small, auction-based antique business into an international distributor of antiques and luxury goods via the internet, and only using eBay as a revenue source on few occasions. I was a major contributor to the growth of an online luxury mall as a consultant and advisor, while developing a system to source product in Asia and sell products internationally. I negotiated the successful sale of my company in November 2009.

Years ago:
In May, 1994- I was the founder and president of Bag Lady Dolls, Inc. I Designed an invention that grew from a small, garage based operation to a company with 15 employees and sales of over $1,000,000 in just 3 years. I was awarded three U.S. patents on the product for design and function. I started by selling product to local stores, and grew my company into a medium sized distribution operation, selling products through such channels as QVC and the Home Shopping network, and also to catalogs such as Robert Redford's Sundance catalog, Starcrest products and many others. I was responsible for all custom design work on products to fit specific customer needs and price points. I developed the systems necessary to manufacture the product in both the U.S. and China.
