Do New Year’s Resolutions Make You Go UGH?

On January 5, 2016

Resolutions Everybody makes them. We all read about them (like right now), talk about them, plan them. We all have the best of intentions. Clean slate! Fresh start! Everything will be different this year! Until it’s not. New Year’s resolutions are kind of like diets for me – they tend to have the exact opposite […]

On December 2, 2015

Stacy London: The Truth About Style You likely remember TV-show What Not To Wear with Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. I recently read Stacy London’s latest book, The Truth About Style, part memoir and part style makeover stories. Honestly, I just loved it.

Fun For The Holidays

On November 17, 2015

The Holidays. We know they’re coming. Halloween is over, chocolate peppermint is replacing pumpkin spice, and decorations are ubiquitous. Poor Thanksgiving is lumped in there, but just barely.

a self-love mantra

On November 2, 2015

Loving-kindness meditation “May I be happy, may I live in peace; may I be strong, may I live with ease.” My acupuncturist (a LIFESAVER in addressing peri-menopause symptoms) gave me this meditation during my last appointment that she described as “creating puddles of love,” starting with self-love. First say it to yourself for a bit, […]

My Wardrobe Consult

On October 15, 2015

Owner turns into client “Ugh! I need a wardrobe consultant!” I whined to my husband. Recently, I made the switch in my closet from warm weather wear to fall and winter clothing. As I dug in, it quickly grew into much more than a switch. It ended up being a full-blown assessment of my wardrobe, […]

Grey Matter – on going grey

On October 1, 2015

Fall is coming As the weather becomes crisp and the idea of layering and cozying up in sweaters becomes appealing, it’s time to take stock of your wardrobe to shift into fall.

Fun In The Sun Redux

On July 16, 2015

Previous post My last post featured casual dressing for summer fun in the sun. Some reader feedback raised the question of “age-appropriate” summer clothing for 50+ women; namely, “Can I wear that?” To which I answered, “YES!” “My arms are jiggly.” “My thighs have cellulite.” “My knees look fat.” “My skin is wrinkly.” I hear these […]
