Friday night I got home and realized I spilled on my dress, so I switched to the dress that arrived in the mail – the “Kate” dress from J. Crew in “Flame.” This is a bright orange-red that I adore. On sale and with a coupon so the dress was a cheap as Old Navy. Score! Same accessories.
Attended a circle of women in my community which was really wonderful. Met some new people, connected closer with those I already knew, had some of the BEST watermelon of the season!
Saturday… for the life of me I cannot remember Saturday. Oh yes, yoga, then lunch with my mom, then ran errands. I came home and tried out some of the camping supplies for our upcoming trip to Bonnaroo, waterproofed my Duo boots, took a nap, went out to dinner… nothing terribly exciting and no pictures.
Sunday began with errands and then yoga.

We had a great time, saw lots of friends, played with their son who just turned 1, chilled on the beach and grilled for dinner. Got a bit of sun even though I put on the SPF 30.

What are the best accessories to choose for this fall to update your essentials? I am working with a pretty basic wardrobe for a conservative office, but I would love to know what trends can help me look a little more fashionable too. Thanks!!

It will be December in just a couple of days, yet yesterday in Washington DC it reached 75 degrees. This crazy warm spell has me feeling for you folks in warmer climates. You often email me asking how to dress appropriately for the season, even if the thermometer says itās flip-flop weather. Hereās some suggestions…
Hey folks, long time no chat! I gotta say, blogging isnāt easy with a cast. While I have gotten the hang of typing with both hands (Iām glad Dragon exists comma but by time I have a sentence written out comma I have lost track of what I was trying to say period next line),…
I am headed on a 2-week trip to India. I want to be comfortable sightseeing and spending lots of time on trains and planes, but still stylish. Any ideas for a capsule wardrobe for keeping cool, covered up, and stylish? I am glad you are asking this. While many first think of the temperature when…
Any creative puts their personality into their work. A signature falsetto, the use of a certain color, or media, or flower. I consider making capsule wardrobes a creative act, and my capsule wardrobes are known for color, use of makeup, and jewelry for additional versatility, and almost always contain a Breton stripe top. But not…
Before I became a parent, I wrote about ways to be stylish as a mom. Current moms were not impressed; I had no idea what I was talking about, and they let me know it loud and clear. I wrote the original version of this post when my daughter was a baby and I was…
LOVE that dress with those sandals. What a fantastic color, reminds me of that long ago blood orange Mizrahi sweater at Target.
