Thought process when ordering these items: Oh gosh I am going to the opening of The Wing in DC and I want to show that though I am 43, I am not old and frumpy. But I am not also trying to look young or try-hard. Come through ASOS, bring me some things that make…
Greetings ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another edition of items I tried to add to my closet and whether they were keeps or returns! This is an especially interesting one because my body has changed a lot since last year. I’ll have a post on it soon, but I’ve been working out at the…
This past weekend was my sister’s 40th birthday. It’s a milestone birthday and the start of what I’ve found to the best decade and we wanted to do it right. Looking for a weekend getaway that isn’t too far away, has a nice combination of R&R and activity, a good nightlife and foodie scene we…

Oh Nordstrom, I just can’t quit you. Each time I venture to another retailer I find the prices are higher for the same things, the selection is smaller, there’s fewer pieces in my size, and the service just doesn’t compare. Add a sale of up to 40% off current items and I swoon. So on…
