Dear Readers,


A little over a year ago, it was my great pleasure to take the reins here at RestlessStyle.com. I've never looked back; I've never had time to. And that, dear reader is how we actually managed to miss our Second Anniversary! We can hardly believe RestlessStyle.com is a little over two years old.


While I can't take credit for its birth or infancy, I will say that my experience with RestlessStyle.com has been no different than that of the proud dad of a busy toddler. Any new parent can tell you, it's a constant battle to stay one step ahead. Running and growing a young magazine and website is no different. Whether it uses pixels or paper, any publication worth its salt is in a constant state of evolution and growth.


The best a parent can hope for is that with each day, their little bundle of joy gets smarter, stronger and better; we hold the same hopes for our own our own little bundle of joy. So, Happy 2nd Birthday RestlessStyle.com. May there be many more...

Stay Restless,
Billy Abbot
Editor, Publisher

Who's "By George?"

You may have seen him on Good Morning America, E! News Daily, Access Hollywood, or How Do I Look?

His full name is GEORGE KOTSIOPOULOS, but you can call him "By George." As in "By George! That's a smashing outfit!" or "By George! I am looking quite fierce tonight!" or "By George! I have graduated from Fashion Drear to Fashion Diva!" And he's here to share his secrets with RS readers.

"Real style is more than just knowing how to shop," he says. "It's about seeing the potential in something plain, combining usual things in unusual ways and taking the time to experiment. It's the difference between Throwing Something On, and Putting Something Together."

"A good stylist can put together a great outfit using designer clothes and incredible jewelry," he says. "But a great stylist knows how to transform something run-of-the-mill into something one-of-a-kind." In this, his premiere column for Restless Style, By George shows how a beaded belt can take an outfit from simple to smashing…
