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! 🧡

My kid at the ocean the last evening of our trip

Usually, I work on Weekend Reads all week. I start the post and as I read articles or think of something I add it and save the draft. Sometimes, I even have two in draft – the one for the coming week and the one after. But this week, Weekend Reads is being put together at 3pm on Friday. My family and I got away this week to the beach; back in June when thinking of a summer without the community pool, without the 4th of July and Labor Day festivities, and canceling our annual girls' trip to Rehoboth Beach because the idea of staying in a hotel without a balcony or kitchen and having to navigate crowds sounded un-fun… well I knew we needed an escape to look forward to.

Beach rentals are a hot commodity, and we weren't able to find one our style and price until after Labor Day. And this past week I tried as hard as possible as a self-employed breadwinner for the family to take a break. I wrote content for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday ahead of time and only did maintenance for about an hour each day. And Weekend Reads I figured if I didn't get to it, the world would still rotate. But we got home in plenty of time, laundry is in the machine, we're all showered, and my kid is upstairs finishing up her distance-learning school day. I emailed myself a bunch of great articles this week and will share them below. And stay tuned, I'll be sure to have a recap of our little vacation!

How to Help

Another week, another opportunity to pick from all of the tragedies happening in our country and the world to highlight.  I started this segment as a way for us to feel like we can do something even if we're sheltering in place and this spring into summer and now into fall is getting even more devastating. Please please PLEASE vote. And when you vote, think not just about your bank account or that one issue you're passionate about, but vote for this world. Vote for those who believe scientists, whose hearts break over what is happening to children at the border and children in the classrooms, who see teachers and waiters and housekeepers and firefighters and seniors to be just as valuable of humans as millionaires. 

But this week, I have to focus on the fires happening on the West Coast. I felt awful sharing photos of me at the beach in the rain as I know many of you are dealing with the devastation happening across the country. And what happens to one of us, affects all of us. Whether or not you live on the West Coast or love someone there, the fires are hurting wildlife, the environment, businesses, our health, our finances, and all of our futures. There are many sites offering links to charities that can use your donations to help those affected by the fires.  The three I sent donations to on behalf of Wardrobe Oxygen are:

  • The California Fire Foundation, which provides critical support to surviving families of fallen firefighters, firefighters, and the communities they serve. 
  • Center for Disaster Philanthropy, which has a California Wildfires Recovery Fund to help families and entire communities recover through targeted grantmaking that prioritizes medium- to long-term recovery especially among vulnerable populations.
  • Wildfire Relief Fund organized by GoFundMe. 

If you live in the area and know of an organization that could use our support, do share it in the comments.  And thank you all for striving to make this world a kinder, safer, and healthier place for all. 

Weekend Reads

I love Jonathan Adler, and loved seeing how he transformed this Nob Hill mansion. (SF Gate)

We're getting far too used to living in hell. (The Cut)

Why you should stretch more often than before and after exercise — especially nowadays. (Washington Post)

A great piece from my friend Patrice, better known as Afrobella: How I rediscovered beauty in the pandemic. (Zora for Medium)

The only thing I have control over are my biceps. (The Cut)

Century 21, the fabled NYC bargain destination is closing. (New York Times) 

Two things that are more important than ever: maintaining connections and supporting the USPS. Here are a few fun ways to do both. (Livability)

Kids of all ages on what they miss most about dining in restaurants. (City Paper)

‘This is not the time for tiptoeing.' How British Vogue's Edward Enninful is shaking up the fashion world. (Time)

Jane Fonda, intergalactic eco-warrior in a red coat. (New York Times)

Whew, this longread was intense and I think a must for all: A pandemic, a motel without power, and a potentially terrifying glimpse of Orlando’s future. (Washington Post)

And thank you to Rachna who sent this piece may way thinking I and all of you would enjoy it: Hanifa's Anifa Mvuemba couldn't get the fashion industry's support. Turns out she didn't need it. (Fashionista)

See/Hear/Read

Not a lot of seeing, hearing, or reading this week…

We finished the miniseries, Mrs. America on Hulu and it was FANTASTIC.  Seriously, if you haven't yet watched it add it to your list!

And speaking of which, I am really looking forward to seeing The Glorias.

My Spotify algorithm is all out of wack and my Daily Mixes are binaural beats and spa soundtracks which is all I can listen to when writing.  This past week I took a long walk on the beach and then through some of the beach neighborhoods checking out houses and dreaming of owning one and during it I listened to this playlist I used to listen to when taking a train or plane for a work trip. 

For Your Entertainment

I know we're not the only people to end up with a playlist of a vacation; songs you hear that transport you back to that trip, that restaurant, that moment at sunset.  And for our trip this weekend, much of its soundtrack includes the band Tennis and their latest album, Swimmer, which came out at the beginning of the year.  Here is one of the songs from the album that got stuck in my head:

    Hey Alison,
    Late to the Weekend Reads, but wanted to say thanks for acknowledging the wildfires raging. You’ve seen the pics, it’s ugly in CA right now and pretty devastating. We are safe and fortunate to be far enough from threat of evacuation. But, the smoke is everywhere.

    As for your trip, I LOVED seeing your posts every day. It just took me away and some of the posts I replayed on Insta to imagine I was there at a beach. So it was a great visualization. Plus, you and your family are so darn cute and who wouldn’t want an update on the adventures with Oscar?

    Filled with gratitude, so keep it up!

    P.S. Great weekend reads. You were right about the Florida article. Really sad. Did you see Florida Project?

    Alison, many thanks for highlighting the fires and their devastation. Emily, your comment breaks my heart. We are in Seattle and while we have had to stay indoors due to hazardous air quality, that is merely inconvenient. Family members in California are on stand-by for evacuation. Friends in San Francisco and outside of Portland have shared pictures of orange, apocalyptic skies. Thinking about all of the families who are dealing with the desctruction of their homes, the families of firefighters and first responders, the local humane socities that are helping with animal rescues and shelter. I appreciate the spotlight on this devastation and although we donated to the Red Cross it’s great to learn of some more local opportunities to help make a difference. And I truly appreciate the reminder to all of us that VOTING is one of the most powerful things that we can do to improve our world and the world for the next generation. Climate change is no joke and we need to course-correct yesterday. I appreciate ALL of your posts and your worldview. Thanks!

    Another fab round of Weekend Reads–how great that you got a break AND still were able to put this post together! I have had some extra time to check out various links, as we are stuck in our apartment, sheltering from the wildfire smoke in Oregon.

    It has been pretty rough up here. We are grateful that the high winds we had a few days ago have dropped so that the nature preserve next door to us is not about to go up in flames that could so easily spread to the buildings! But our air quality has bounced between unhealthy, very unhealthy, and hazardous since last Monday afternoon. It is so hard to know that not far away people are in mortal danger, and beautiful places are being destroyed. Thank you to you and all your readers for the supportive thoughts you are sending this way.

    Hi Everyone, my client, Puente is a nonprofit in the central coast. Their town, Pescadero has been hit hard by the wildfires here in the Bay Area. Many of the employees had to evacuate their homes yet they continue to work in the community to help the first responders and the families displaced by the fires. They have setup a fire fund. If you are able to please consider helping them. Here’s their website https://mypuente.org/. Thank you and stay safe.

    Another Californian here. The nearest fire is 40 miles away so we’re not in danger but even here we can’t open the windows or leave our houses without ash falling on us. Going for a walk, exercising outside, and socially distanced happy hours with other couples – or even enjoying our yard as a family – are gone (in the pandemic these are / were the few things maintaining our sanity) and it feels like we’ve been living under an orange-gray sky for a week with no one even noticing outside the west coast (AKA our federal government…) Thank you for acknowledging us. Weekend Reads is something I look forward to every week, thanks for putting it together!

    Hello Alison,
    I agree with Emily. Thank you for highlighting the climate fires. Sometimes it feels like no one else in the rest of the country (D.C.) is paying attention. I live in Northern California, just outside San Jose. We were on evacuation alert two weeks ago, but thanks to firefighters fortunately didn’t have to leave our home. And I live in a suburban residential neighborhood–not the woods! We haven’t seen the sun or blue sky this time for over a week due to smoke. The air quality is horrendous. With Covid shelter in place, at least we can walk or ride our bikes. Now we stay indoors as much as possible, to protect our lungs. Climate change is real.

    Hi, Aliison—
    Long-time reader, first-time commenter. I truly appreciate your acknowledging the West Coast fires. People who don’t live here seem to believe it’s being exaggerated, but the truth is, if you’re not here, it’s difficult to believe how devastating it is. I live just outside Portland. In the past week, my childhood hometown burned to the ground, my 88-year-old father was evacuated from his home, the air quality is hazardous, and we’ve been on evacuation alert for five days, with no end in sight. People who don’t “believe” in climate change (like my neighbors) are hard pressed to ignore this reality. Our local support services, police and fire departments are all recommending donations to the Red Cross Cascades. BTW, your posts are a bright spot in my days. Please don’t apologize for showcasing hopeful, enjoyable content. It helps.

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).

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.
