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! 🐾❤️

August 016August 0171New clothes!

New clothes!

I bought a few things recently from Banana Republic (everything too big except this dress), Gap (nice new tees but their European line is disappointing and will be returned) and Nordstrom (everything ugly) and then of course Sephora. My seasonal web-based shopping spree.

So a lovely black merino wool sweater dress from Banana Republic. How cute is this, and how cute will it be in colder months with tights and a turtleneck? How fun would it be with a thermal long-sleeved top and some chunky boots? It's the cool-weather equivalent to the Jones New York tee-shirt dress I sported all summer! With it I have my black croco peeptoe heels from BCBGirls, my silver hoops and cuff bracelet.

Hair was washed, conditioned and air-dried last night. This morning hit a few pieces with a curling iron, straightened the bangs with a dryer and round brush and then a bit of Matrix Sleek hairspray for body and definition.

Makeup is L'Oreal True Match concealer in W4-5, Benefit's That Gal Brightening Face Primer on cheek and brow bones, Philosophy's The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas powder foundation in Beige, Nars blush in Orgasm, Nars lipstick in Dolce Vita, Pop Beauty shadow set for brown eyes – light khaki on lid and darker khaki in crease and along lash lines, Maybelline UltraLiner in black on top lash line (again, a new tube) and for mascara Imju Fiberwig in black over curled lashes.

Product Reviews:
P189147 heroBenefit That Gal Brightening Face Primer – An interesting product. I usually hate highlighters on my face – they look greasy and false. However Morgan from Cult of the Black Sweater liked it and we have very similar coloring and tastes so I decided to try it.

The product is in a container that looks an awful lot like a glue stick. Instead of rolling up a sticky white tube of goo, you click up a pearly pink liquid through tiny holes at the applicator tip. I tried applying straight to the face, but needed fingers to blend, so the next time I used it, I just applied straight to fingers for more even application. It doesn't feel heavy, sticky, greasy or like any other highlighter I have tried. It really disappears into the skin and leaves… a natural look. Very light liquid formula.

Can it be? A highlighter that doesn't make me look like a greased pig or a raver? On bare skin, That Gal gives a slight glow – not as obvious as my Smashbox Soft Lights, but not invisible. Gave me that honeymooner glow I always want to have when I go bare-faced. Under foundation or powder it still showed it's glowy self, but in a more subdued manner. It made my skin look fresh, healthy and elegant. Over foundation, it gave that honeymooner glow and didn't ruin the foundation finish.

This will be in heavy rotation in my makeup regime.

P84309 herophilosophy The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas – Sooo not something I would purchase. I don't like hokey gimmick foundations, I never buy foundation by mail unless it's a reorder, and honestly, I am the one person on the planet who finds the philosophy line NOT cute or charming or quaint. I find their scents to be too candy-like, their eau de toilettes too feminine for my tastes, and what I have purchased in the past I find to be no better in quality to drugstore brands. But I heard good things and I am not loving the look of my mineral foundations and my L'Oreal True Match is too fair for this time of the year….

Omigoodness I am really really REALLY liking this stuff! I mean, I have been a big fan of the classic s- Bare Escentuals, L'Oreal True Match, MAC Studio Fix but this stuff… this stuff makes me have dream skin. I feel like an actress in a film noir. Airbrushed? Hecks yeah. Natural looking? Can we say that my weird red veins and acne scars are invisible yet my freckles still peek out in an adorable way? No falling into wrinkles, creasing around the eyes, wearing away by 4pm or feeling heavy/thick/itchy/false. I put this on over eight hours ago and still my skin feels smooth (I think it inhibits oil production on my nose!), looks finished and natural.

It is a powder but it covers just as nicely as a regular liquid or cream foundation. And like a cream foundation, the more you apply the more coverage you receive. The powder is encased in the container, and a sponge is affixed on top. You press the sponge to your face and then use it to buff the color in. No mess like Bare Escentuals, yet just as much beautiful coverage and buffed finish.

Only problem? This is not a sweat-proof or cry-proof product. Yesterday I had a day of bad traffic, getting lost going to an event, dog getting in the trash, rain and unexpected news and a few frustrated tears were shed. Went upstairs and I had ivory-colored streaks down my cheeks. Rest of the makeup was intact, but the foundation went a bit awry. Think this is a good choice for cooler months and normal days where I don't plan to cry my eyes out or run a marathon.

P2865 heroNARS Lipstick in Dolce Vita – Some magazine or website said this was the most versatile and complimentary color out there for the majority of skintones. I don't remember where I read it, but when I desired something new (and very fun to whip out of my handbag for a touch-up) I decided to go to my beauty wishlist and this was my choice. Yes, I keep a wishlist in my planner, don't you?

So the lipstick feels expensive. I don't buy expensive lipsticks because I switch them often, get fickle, and well…. I don't usually wear a lipstick – just a gloss that I eat off before lunch. But this fall is about more refined makeup and I thought a lipstick would be an lovely change.

Sepohra says this is a sheer dusty rose, but I think it has a berry undertone. This is not pink, this is an elegant color that ladies wear. Ladies with elegant walks and great blowouts and classically beautiful leather handbags. I wear it, and my lips look defined, full, feminine and not at all girly or cheesy. This is my new interview lipcolor.

And the formula? Matte enough to fit with this fall's trends, hydrating enough to leave my lips in the same condition they were at the beginning of the day, yet dry enough that it lasts until lunch. And it's very nice to pull out the tube with the big NARS on the side (yes I am a sucker for things like that). I think this lipstick is definitely worth the money. There are some cosmetics that are worth the department store price and it seems that every single item I have ever tried from Nars has been worth it.

P174100 heroImju Fiberwig Mascara – Another gimmick that I like! Hard to explain, so this is what the Sephora site says:

Fiberwig
What it is:
Fiberwig is the top-selling mascara in Japan – beating the competition with remarkable, “false eyelash-like” results.

What it is formulated to do:
Engineered to create the perfect lashes with twice the amount of micro-fine interconnecting fibers, the instant drying formula creates a long lasting film coat around your natural lashes. Fiberwig imparts a perfect, smudge-proof maximum lash extension effect with a water-resistant formula that's easy to remove with warm water, without risking damaging or losing your natural lashes.

What else you need to know:
A jet-black fiber film coats the surface of each lash with long-lasting, clump-free, lash lengthening color that's resistant to tears, sweat, and oil.

And it is all that. The first day I got it, I tried it on over my DiorShow Unlimited and I really did look as though I had false eyelashes. I batted my eyes and my lashes hit my cheeks when I smiled. I went downstairs and my husband asked if I had just put on mascara. The great thing was that it didn't clump or get weird and goopy looking. It just added to the thickness and length of my lashes. On clean lashes, I found one or two strokes to give a natural look and the more strokes I added (no need to dry between coats) the longer and thicker my lashes looked. I think I could keep applying for five minutes straight and have better lashes than a set of falsies!

Funky thing – I removed my liquid liner with a cotton pad and remover and the mascara came off with it – and it was all over the pad like a black cobweb, not a black smear like most mascaras. It really is different from traditional formulas. I plan to play with it more – adding over other products and trying for a real glam look and will keep you posted!

    i love fiberwig. my eyes are really sensitive so sometimes i dont enjoy using eye make up removers because regarless of how hypo allergenic or extra gentle they still irritate me, anyways fiberwig rubs off with a little bit of warm water, but doesnt come off with sweat or rain LOVE IT!!!

    Honestly, DiorShow and Imju are so different, it’s hard to compare. I got a mini tube of DiorShow with my Sephora purchase and I still am in love with it, but love how the Imju gives such amazing length and never a chance of clumping. DiorShow gives a nice thick dramatic lash, Imju gives a more elegant lash.

    The mascara sounds like “Kiss Me” mascara that the girls at DeLush like. It makes “tubes” over your lashes and then you use warm water to slide the tubes off your lashes leaving a spider webby stuff on the cotton pad. It doesn’t come off with eye makeup remover. It was pretty good but I like Max Factor better. Do you like this mascara or DiorShow better? I need new mascara and was about to go buy DiorShow.

    Fairly Light in BE is too light for my complexion right now, so Beige may be too dark for you. I must admit, I totally guessed on which color was best for me and haven’t seen the rest of the collection in person. However Beige is a good color for me now with the hint of tan I have and will probably be too dark come the dead of winter when Fairly Light will be the right color for me.

    Hope my rambling helps… 🙂

    I, too, am ambivalent about the majority of philosophy’s products. However, “the present” clear make-up is the best product I’ve ever used. I use it instead of foundation or powder, and it smoothes my skin and is a great base for other make-up. It is white in the tube but disappears like moisturizer. There is no color, so it goes from season to season easily. I’ve been using it for 2 years, and it is fabulous.

    No weird lipstick taste OR smell that I have noticed (pulls lipstick out of purse and smells it)… just the very faint waxy smell that exists in all lipsticks, but no weird perfume and i never noticed a taste when wearing it a la Chanel, Revlon and L’Oreal.

    I think the Nars lipstick was in Lucky – I was going to buy it as well, but thought I could just remember the brand and thought it was Smashbox. Then I was all confused in the store when the Smashbox lipsticks didn’t have black casings.

    But does this lipstick have that lipstick taste the way Revlon and Chanel do?

    I just started using “that gal” last week (I’m a Benefit product junkie) and I’m a big fan! I typically don’t wear any foundation, just some concealer where needed along with some Benefit bronzers, so “that gal” added a nice touch.

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).

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.
