Scenes from a Friday night…

We started at @littleblackbirddc a new wine bar in Cleveland Park where we had great food, drink, and conversation into the evening. We then headed down the street to @atomicbilliards for a whole different experience and to keep the conversation going. I treasure my friendships with @sylviacolella (who had a birthday recently), @districtofchic, and @blonde_inthedistrict they’re the real deal 🥰

My dress is @adamlippes borrowed via @renttherunway and Cheetos with Sauvignon Blanc is a really fun pairing!

Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

Happy Happy Birthday…

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

For those who have little ones who watch Sprout, you may have their version of the birthday song become your home's standard song for special days.  When we sing, “Happy Birthday to You” Emerson is meh, but if we sing, “Happy happy birthday to you, to you, to you!” she gets all excited and dances and sings along.  And that is what she sang to me this morning.

Today I am 36 years old, a gosh darn dinosaur in the world of personal fashion bloggers. However I am proud to still be photographing what I wear each day for one doesn't lose the passion for fashion once you hit your '30s (or '40s or '50s or gosh even your '90s!). I like to represent those women who may be over 30, but still want to be stylish, and don't own a single pastel-colored pantsuit or boiled wool cardigan tunic in her closet.

For those who have been reading for a long time, you know I buy myself a beauty-related birthday present each year. Once it was Nars Orgasm blush, another time it was the coveted Shu Eumura lash curler. This year I indulged in the Clarisonic Miair?t=whaevewomneei 20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B002XURD32.

Skin Care by clarisonic at ShopStyle

Mine is pinkir?t=whaevewomneei 20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B002XURD32, but otherwise it looks just like this picture!

I resisted the hype for a very long time.  From years working for The Body Shop I believed that manual exfoliants could do the job just fine.  From years learning about French style and beauty, I then believed that exfoliating is not necessary, simple cleansing (even sans water) is all you need for beautiful skin.

However in the past year, after the postpartum puffiness and skin craziness has subsided, I see that my skin looks old.  I always looked younger than my years, but pregnancy and motherhood and a sometimes-stressful job have taken their toll.  So I started doing research and saw that people found the Clarisonic to be extremely gentle, will minimize pores, reduce the look of fine lines, and help balance out skin that is dry in some places, scaly in others, and oily in other spots.

I have been using my Clarisonic Mia for a week and so far I am a fan.  It is extremely gentle – not at all like the old-school battery-operated face brushes that scraped off the top layer of skin.  It turns itself off after a minute so you can't over-clean.  The cleanser that comes with the Mia is very gentle, smells a bit like cucumbers, rinses clean, and leaves my skin feeling so soft and amazing.  I haven't seen drastic changes to my skin, but then again I have only had the thing for a week.  After a month, I will give a detailed review.

I am not one who wants to be pampered and spoiled on her birthday – I don't need cakes and parties and hub bub.  Today my husband is coming to visit me at work and he is bringing Emerson – that is the best present ever because I get to show off to my coworkers the two people I think are the most awesome in the entire world.  And I also get a ride home instead of dealing with the Metro.  This Sunday I am going to breakfast with a couple of my friends – nothing fancy, just diner food.  A perfect birthday.

alison gary 066

Well actually this birthday is more than perfect.  My mom gets me a present every year and this year she really outdid herself.  The photo above is my present from her.  These are all books I have been wanting to read, and have been putting off thinking I could borrow from a friend or the library.  It feels so decadent to have all these books waiting to be read (Just Kids – Patti Smithir?t=whaevewomneei 20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0060936223; The Dirty Life – Kristin Kimballir?t=whaevewomneei 20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1416551603; Life – Keith Richardsir?t=whaevewomneei 20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=031603438X; The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbookir?t=whaevewomneei 20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1933615710).  I'll be sure to write a review when I finish one!

Friends, family, books, beauty.  All in all a pretty fantastic 36th birthday!

    All I can say is… thank goodness it’s not just the 20-somethings who are blogging! I enjoyed my 30’s far more than my 20’s, and I’m looking forward to turning 40 this fall.

    When I first started checking out fashion blogs, I knew I didn’t just want to be told what the latest trends were. I was looking for ideas on looking great for my body, my budget, and my age. After spending some time getting to know the fashion blogosphere, I’ve slowly winnowed down the blogs I follow to my “top three”. Yes, you made the cut.

    Happy Birthday!

    I bought the Clarisonic for my daughter and I (don’t worry – we don’t share the brush head!) – and we LOVE THE CLARISONIC! She has acne, that has remarkably been clearing up, and I have rosacea, which has NOT been made worse by the Clarisonic (I was concerned that it would make it worse). My skin is so smooth and silky, and very very clean! Love this little machine! Oh, and happy late birthday!

    Happy Birthday! I’ve been wanting to read the Dirty Life, I asked my local library to buy it and they were going to call me when in came in but that was over a month ago. Hey 36 is so young and you look great. I’m going to be 43 in a few days. Nanne I was always told I looked young, too. A couple a years ago an older gentleman asked me what grade I was in (I think he must have been senile.) I may not look 43 but I don’t think I could pass for under 30.

    I don’t feel old, but I do notice the majority of fashion bloggers are under the age of 30 and more and more are still college coeds. Nothing wrong with that, but I do realize I am a bit… old in comparison to them. Mama fashion blogger 😉

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

For more of our trip check the “Savannah” highlight on my profile page!

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.
