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!
Open
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! 🐾❤️

Weekend Reads #120

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. 

Amy Sherald Bronna Taylor Portrait
Amy Sherald, best known for her portrait of Michelle Obama, with her recent portrait of Breonna Taylor. Click to read more about the author and the story behind this painting in Vanity Fair.

I was flipping channels the other week and came across Doris Kearns Goodwin, a presidential historian and award-winning bestelling author.  She was being interviewed about her book, Leadership: In Turbulent Times.  The book goes into how Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson handled tough times in America, making difficult decisions, and how they kept it together when things were so tough.  She was sharing how these four presidents let off steam, and how three of the four created ways to separate from their work so they could be better at their jobs.  Those who know history likely guessed that Johnson was the one who didn't find ways to decompress.  But it was a good reminder that no one can be “on” all the time or they will burn out.  And right now we are in a time where it's really hard to shut off.  We're so close to a presidential election that will truly affect all of our futures.  Mother Nature is wreaking havoc on our country.  Even with constant protesting, speaking up, spotlighting, fighting for change, and as seen above, dedicating entire magazines to Black lives, Jacob Blake was still shot seven times for no valid reason and is paralyzed from the bullets yet handcuffed to his hospital bed while a 17-year-old white murderer easily walked the streets of the same city the same week. 

When things get too much, don't opt out.  Don't give up.  Don't step away.  Take a cue from past presidents and find a way to decompress, let off steam, and temporarily distance yourself to be able to recharge.  We can't afford to give up, especially this close to such an important election.  But we also can't afford to burn out.

I feel that with a public platform, it is my duty to be a voice for change, for revolution, for education.  But I don't have to be a general, I can be a soldier.  I can share the voices of activists making change and work to strengthen my mind and body to fight for them.  This week was a week where I felt like everything was too much, and caught myself doomscrolling Twitter, falling deeper into a pit of despair and helplessness.  And that helps NO ONE.  In fact, that makes me a burden.  So each time I did, I stepped away from the device and did something to be a better soldier.  I took a shower.  I stuffed a handful of spinach in my mouth.  I rode the Peloton, or went for a walk, or did a stretching class, or just sat out in the yard looking at the sky or looking at nothing.  I looked for ways to decompress like Lincoln, who went to the theater hundreds of times during the Civil War, or FDR who hosted nightly cocktail parties in the White House where he banned all talk about war.  Because what we're dealing with is not a battle, but a war, and we need to keep ourselves in fighting shape, whether we are leading the cause or being a soldier for them. 

Weekend Reads

In a series of interviews, Ta-Nehisi Coates spoke to Tamika Palmer, Breonna Taylor's mother, to paint a picture of a full, loving life taken too soon. (Vanity Fair)

This is a must-read for everyone. Covid-19 isn't always a death sentence, and it's not just “the flu.”  (The Atlantic)

Tech oracle Jaron Lanier warned us all about the evils of social media. Too few of us listened. Now, in the most chaotic of moments, his fears—and his bighearted solutions—are more urgent than ever. (GQ)

Your ‘surge capacity’ is depleted — it’s why you feel awful. (Elemental by Medium)

If like me, sitting “criss-cross applesauce” on the floor for meditation is downright painful or like for some, impossible, you may want to consider a meditation bench.  After buying two meditation pillows and still having my knee hurt and my feet fall asleep, I was told about these things.  I got this one on Etsy, which is beautiful and well crafted with legs that fold down to make it easy to travel with or store in a small space.  It is a good height and width for 5'3″ me, my 6'4″ husband, and 5′ tall daughter. It is sturdy, but slightly angled with curved legs so it will rock to the proper placement for you to be in a kneeling position without your rear against your legs or feet. 

Remember the ‘NYC is dead' post I shared last Saturday? Jerry Seinfeld has a response. (New York Times)

How AA prepared me for the pandemic. (The Atlantic)

The Girl Scout uniform, updated for GenZ. (New York Times)

I know I am not the only one realizing the half-truths and omissions from the history I learned in school.  After reading Pachinko I realized how little I truly understood about WWII and the Japanese occupation of Korea.  Whether or not you read Pachinko and whether or not you know the history of this part of the world during this period in time, you may enjoy this article. (New York Times)

See/Hear/Read

K and I checked out this documentary on Netflix about Jeremy Scott, watching a bit over three days.  I like watching fashion docs to better understand the mindset behind designers, and Jeremy Scott is not your ordinary designer.  This isn't the kind of doc that is going to make you want to be Scott's BFF, but he's not interested in winning any popularity contests.  However, it did make me respect him even more as an artist. 

My kid wanted to check out The Floor is Lava, a game show on Netflix.  We both agreed we didn't like it and won't be watching more. 

I know we're late to the game but we finally saw the movie Knives Out.  The house is amazing, the movie is 20 minutes too long, and it would have been better to have Jeff Bridges play the role of the private investigator, but it still was enjoyable. 

I finally finished reading Pachinko, and it was lovely.  I want it to be a movie or even a TV series so I can enjoy it again and see it through a director's eyes and see how we envision it differently in some ways and similar in another. 

For Your Entertainment

This song has been in my head all week.  At first, I was meh, not very unique and the video is cliche.  Then I saw the video again and liked it more.  And I kept hearing the song and by Friday I was singing it in the shower.  So enjoy my earworm from this week.

    I feel you on “The Floor is Lava”. I think the issue is the contestants- it would be hilarious to watch a trio of neighborhood kids navigate the rooms! Anyway- our most recent family fave (my boys are Emerson’s age) is Dr. Ouch on Netflix. Twin ER docs in England dealing with all sorts of issues- mostly with kids. Great info and funny, too!

    I was taken aback at the outrage last week–I appreciate you insightfulness, Ali, your willingness to use what is your job, your income, the way you support your family as a public platform. Goodness knows people with much less to risk don’t share you sense of responsibility–thank you.

    On the topic of long-haul COVID survivors, we have a dear family friend who was healthy, a world-traveler, vibrant, and dedicated to a mentally intensive job in archaeology. She contracted COVID in March, and is still suffering the effects, so much so that her employer/insurance is putting her on 60% long-term disability. They anticipate she will never fully recover. She still suffers body tremors, memory fog, and exhaustion–this was someone who had never had more than a bad cold, skied and scuba-dived, and was the picture of health. Compounding her issues: she lives in Alaska where medical care is challenging to get at all. She’s been misdiagnosed, had her records deleted, had her doctors changed…it’s kind of insult to injury.

    I hit the surge wall last week–I’m grateful you post your workouts so I am reminded I can make it back.
    Oh, if you’re looking for more YA for Emerson, you both might enjoy the Belles (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23197837-the-belles)–a lot about how society’s expectations of beauty can warp your reality.

    Happy to hear you liked Pachinko. I thought it was terrific. Also loved Leadership In Turbulent Times. Anyone who is staying home a lot (and aren’t we all?) should read A Gentleman In Moscow. A fictional story about a Count who is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol Hotel. He spends decades there and manages to build a life despite his imprisonment. Reading Hamnet now… fictional account of the death of Shakespeare’s son. Gorgeous writing! Sorry….I could go on and on about books. I Enjoy your blog because it’s wholistic…not all fashion all the time.

    In the wake of the 2016 election, I took great comfort in listening to all three volumes of Blanche Wiesen Cook’s biography of Eleanor Roosevelt. It helped me see the historical, cyclical nature of the push and pull of US politics, and reminded me that a brave woman can live by her values.

    If you enjoyed reading about the Japanese occupation of Korea during WWII, then I highly recommend you check out Iris Chang’s “Rape of Nanking”. It is a fascinating look at the Japanese occupation of China during the same time period and is riveting to read.

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 🥵

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.
