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! 🐾❤️

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! 🧡

What I Wore: Tour of Good Housekeeping with Jambu

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. 

A tour at Good Housekeeping with Jambu Footwear by Wardrobe OxygenGrowing up, the magazines in our home were Time, National Geographic, and Good Housekeeping. Whenever anything was purchased, my parents consulted Consumer Reports, and or Good Housekeeping. New recipe tried for dinner? There's a good chance it came from the pages of good Housekeeping. Many a collage was made from those same pages; in fact I made a collage as a new sorority pledge to represent my personality and I know that some of the items pasted onto that board were cut from an issue of Good Housekeeping. And now I am an adult, and Good Housekeeping is still a part of my life. In this day and age of influencers promoting most anything for a buck and magazines choosing content based upon advertisers, it's refreshing to see that Good Housekeeping maintains its ethics, only featuring that which literally passed the test. I regularly pick up an issue at the airport and search online for their unbiased reviews of everything from detanglers to dishwashers.

good housekeeping lab tour nycGood Housekeeping magazine began in 1885 with a goal “to produce and perpetuate perfection – or as near unto perfection as may be attained in the household.” This was before the FDA and any government regulations or laws to protect consumers from false claims, dangerous products, and snake oil salesmen. They warned readers about food adulteration and provided information for food safety. In 1900, they created the Good Housekeeping Institute (though at that time it had a different name) where products were tested for safety and effectiveness. In 1909 the Good Housekeeping Seal launched with a list of 21 consumer products in the magazine. Any product that withstands the investigation of the Institute staff is eligible to be included in the newly developed “Tested and Approved” section of the magazine. Good Housekeeping has always been ahead of its time, choosing that which is right over that which pays the most. They stopped accepting cigarette ads in 1952 because of the health dangers, and as early 1927 warned about the dangers of consuming too much sugar. Over the years, many of Good Housekeeping's tests have brought upon federal legislation to improve product safety. And you know that drugstore brand that shares in every ad that their moisturizing cream beat out a $350 one? Good Housekeeping's Beauty lab did that test.

So I was pretty excited when I was invited by Jambu footwear to visit Good Housekeeping headquarters in New York City for a tour and lunch. Jambu makes some super comfortable and functional shoes, ones so great they carry the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Jambu provided me with my travel (I believe the best way to get to NYC from DC is by train) and a pair of shoes of my choice. I chose the Azalea in Blush, a gladiator-inspired open sneaker. I liked the low-contrast color, knew they'd be great for pounding the pavement, and would be fantastic this spring for sight-seeing and bopping around town. I styled the sneakers with this cream blazer from Talbots (previously seen in this blog post), an ivory and navy striped J. Crew top (reviewed in this blog post), and these jeans from Banana Republic (previously seen in this blog post). For my bag, I brought my Dagne Dover Dakota Backpack; it's lightweight, has a pocket or compartment for everything, yet looks sleek and stylish.

I caught a train at 7am from DC's Union Station and had the Quiet Car almost completely to myself. With breakfast, my laptop, a new novel, and headphones I had a great time. I even meditated on the trip! I arrived at Penn Station a little before 11am and walked out to a view of the Empire State Building. While it was sleeting in DC, it was dry and about 10 degrees warmer in the Big Apple. No time for sightseeing, I grabbed an Uber and headed to Hearst Tower where I met the five other bloggers part of this event.

As someone who has loved magazines her whole life and for many years years dreamed of being an editor at a magazine, entering Hearst was pretty freaking amazing. I'd say one of my top five experiences as a blogger. I totally was a tourist, filming the ascent on the escalator and the famous bank of elevators for my InstaStories!

wardrobe oxygen at good housekeepingWe arrived at the Good Housekeeping Institute, and it's way bigger, more sci fi, and also more beautiful than you could imagine. We received an extensive tour of their labs and test kitchens, often having the chance to question those who worked there or learn a little behind the scenes.

visiting good housekeeping headquarters wardrobe oxygen visiting good housekeepingThe Good Housekeeping Institute is no joke; they put products to a serious test. To test shampoos for color-treated hair, they ordered pounds and pounds of human hair of varying colors and textures and washed each bunch 30 times with the shampoo. They then hung them up in a room with consistent lighting to photograph to analyze any fading or damage (FYI, Hair Food, the brand I did a sponsored post on earlier this month was one of their top picks! I told you it was good!). They were working on a test of frizz-fighting hair products and had a climatology chamber to be able to amp up the humidity and measure hair shrinkage. For vacuum cleaners, they would measure out a certain amount of dirt onto a machine with carpet on it. They'd then put that carpet through a beating, similar to the wear and tear in a typical home, vacuum and measure how much dirt the machine was able to collect. For the recipes Good Housekeeping provides, they go through just as much analysis. The kitchen is run by a James Beard Award winner, and all recipes are tested at least three times using ingredients, tools, and appliances easily accessible to most households.

the view from hearst towerMany of the staff told us they had been with Good Housekeeping for a decade, two, even more. It was an environment vibrating with passion, teamwork, and creativity. Oh, and the VIEW! Omigosh the view from the Good Housekeeping Institute was jaw-droppingly amazing.

good housekeeping living roomAfter our tour, we were invited to the Good Housekeeping living room. When Good Housekeeping was purchased by Hearst in 1911, it moved from Massachusetts to NYC and the headquarters had a formal living room and dining room. When Hearst Tower was finished in 2006, the Good Housekeeping living and dining rooms were meticulously recreated in the new space, all the original items catalogued and carefully stored. These elegant rooms are a stark contrast to the modern white and glass walls of the Institute and it felt so special to be able to be in those rooms. Every president (except the last two… yet) and every First Lady since the FDR administration have dined at Good Housekeeping and now I was here being offered a glass of sangria! The room was amazing, with so much history. On the wall of the living room was a Grandma Moses painting, and glass cabinets holding a collection of antique rolling pins made of porcelain, glass, and etched with ornate designs.

lunch at good housekeeping dining room lunch at the good housekeeping dining roomWe bloggers and Jambu staff were joined by members of the Good Housekeeping team including Style Director Lori Bergamotto and Fashion Director of Hearst's Lifestyle Group Kristen Saladino. We toasted Jambu and Good Housekeeping, then retreated to the dining room for one of the most elegant lunches I have ever experienced. We were served Good Housekeeping's famous popovers, a treat everyone receives when dining there.

We had an amazing conversation about style, social media, and spring fashion trends. Kristen shared some intel about celebrities who graced the covers of Good Housekeeping (FYI Tracee Ellis Ross is just as amazing as you'd hope she is) and Lori talked about representing Good Housekeeping on TV (you may recognize Lori from her appearances on shows like GMA, Today, and the Wendy Williams Show).

bloggers in jambu shoes at good housekeepingSoon my magical trip came to an end. I had a 4:26 train to take back to DC and the weather was starting to become frightful. But I'll never forget my time with Jambu at Good Housekeeping!

FYI, if you're in NYC you too can get a tour of the Good Housekeeping Institute!

    Thank you, Alison, for virtually taking us along. So impressed with Good Housekeeping – I had no idea they did so much consumer research (Canadian so don’t often read their magazine). And the building is so impressive – next time I am in New York, I want to visit. (PS you look great!)

    Love that blazer! Ali – how do you feel the jambus would fit a wide foot? I see they only have two styles in wide currently. I’m an 8w or 8.5w but can sometimes get by with 8.5 or 9, depending on fit. I love the Cybil, Spain and Naomi.

      Honestly, they’re not great for wide feet if not a wide size. I received a couple pairs of shoes from Jambu and the only pair that fit me were the Azalea. Good thing, since I liked them but yeah… hard for wide feet. I didn’t try any of the styles you mentioned though.

    What a fun time, Allie. I almost was going to join the group, but I’d been travelling twice already this year, and the thought of a plane trip to NYC, was killing me!!! However, now that I know I missed the chance to meet you in person, I’m kicking myself! Hopefully another time….
    And I have those shoes in light blue. Aren’t they so comfy???

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!

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

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 🥵

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.
