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! 🧡

hulken review
This is the largest size of the Hulken bag, chock full of donations!

So I got the Hulken rolling bag… I used it yesterday to carry donations to Success in Style. I had it completely stuffed and it still rolled well, though the contents were a bit off-center so the bag was hard to pull and have it stay straight. Yet holding the main handles it moved smoothly. It's not super easy to pack flat again but if I figure it out it would be easy. So far, so good! I'll do a full review of the bag once I've used it more often.

See/Hear/Read

the vanishing half

When I was volunteering at Success in Style two weeks ago, I was alone processing merchandise and wanted something to listen to. Podcasts weren't doing it for me, nor was music, so I bought an audiobook. Not doing any research, I chose The Vanishing Half. I didn't know the story but knew it got good reviews and it was one of the first audiobooks recommended to me. That four-hour volunteer session flew by and I have looked for any occasion since to listen, finally finishing it this past Monday.

I used to listen to audiobooks on the regular when I had a work commute. With about an hour to get to the office and an hour home, I finished books quickly and it made the drive feel shorter. But once I started working exclusively from home (or my office which is less than a mile away), I canceled my Audible subscription and stopped audiobooks as well as most podcasts.

But this book changed my mind. It's almost like watching a TV show, where you wait each week for the next episode. I found myself dropping my kid off at Girl Scouts or a friend's house and then just driving around listening. In the morning instead of scrolling through social media, I'd pop in my earbuds and listen to this book as I made breakfast, stretched, let the dog out. It inspired me to take short walks mid-day.

The Vanishing Half came out in 2020 and received many accolades and rave reviews. HBO has acquired the rights to turn it into a limited series with author Brit Bennett as producer. It's a story about twins and how their lives go in two different directions and how their choices affected their children. The narrator did a phenomenal job in creating different personas with her voice, capturing the accents of California, New Orleans, and parts of the U.S. south.

the greatest beer run ever

This week we watched the movie, The Greatest Beer Run Ever, which is on Apple TV. Starring Zac Efron, this is the true story of a guy who went to Vietnam during the war to give his buddies in the military a beer to let them know they're loved and appreciated.

I had a hard time with this movie because Efron's character, John “Chickie” Donohue, is an ass. Drinking at the local bar, upset at those protesting the war, the bar owner (played by Bill Murray) wishes someone would go to Vietnam and give the guys from the Inwood neighborhood in Northern Manhattan where they lived, a beer. Chickie Donohue is dared to do it and Chickie Donahue, as we find out early on, is the daring/foolish kind.

beer vietnam
What's up my dudes? Do you know my buddy from NYC? Here's some beers… hey why are you distrusting of me? I'm just a good friend wanting to give my buddy a beer.

Being seen as a bit of a loser by his father, he feels this act may make him seem… something. Brave? Important? Loyal? Half the neighborhood finds him ridiculous, the other find his trip to give them hope as over 20 guys from that community had already died in the war. Neighbors give him gifts to pass on to the soldiers when he sees them. The mom of a solider that is missing in action gives Chickie a rosary to pass to him.

greatest beer run
I know this war sucks, buddy. Hope this warm PBR will make it all better.

Since Chickie is a Merchant Marine, he actually can get a ship to take him to Vietnam. And due to pure luck, he does visit his friends from back home and gives them warm Pabst Blue Ribbon and does come back home in one piece. But the whole time I was watching thinking, “This guy is a jackass, he's risking not just his life but the lives of his friends and fellow soldiers and costing our country money while risking its security.”

beer
Wow, I didn't know war was so… war-like!

This movie is advertised as, “a heartfelt coming-of-age tale about friendship, loyalty and sacrifice” and um… I guess??? I found the friendships aspect odd, as did Chickie's friends who were in the middle of a war and saw their buddy show up with a duffle bag full of PBR. Yes, there was loyalty, but I think this film even showed the problem with blind loyalty. And sacrifice… boy did everyone make sacrifices to have Chickie achieve his goal. I'm shaking my head at this character as I type these characters.

beer photo
I know y'all almost died, but say cheese for the camera with your beers!

That being said, this movie really hit home how immoral and wrong the Vietnam War was, and you can't help watching it and think of the “patriots” of this current era and how if they left their bubbles and spent some time in other parts of this country and the world they'd realize how misguided their loyalties are.

If you're around my age, you've likely seen at least a dozen films about the Vietnam War, and know several neighbors and relatives who fought in the war. You know it was violent and nasty, immoral and tragic, and that those who did come home didn't come back whole. One thing this film did well was portray the immoral acts of our country, the terror of the Vietnamese, and the beauty of the country being destroyed by the war.

beer russell 1
While Crowe's character was fictional, it did add to the story and help it make more sense.

If you watch it, be prepared to Google the hell out of what may be real and what is not. Russell Crowe's character is fictional, and Chickie did have a sister but she wasn't an anti-war protestor. But the rest of it is pretty accurate. Some articles that I found while Googling:

  • How a Columbia Historian Fact-Checked a Film About the Vietnam War (Columbia News)
  • Meet the New Yorker who brought beers to his buddies in the Vietnam War (New York Post)
  • Reel Faces: The Greatest Beer Rin Ever (History vs. Hollywood)
  • The Unbelievable True Story Of The Greatest Beer Run In History (Task and Purpose, includes photos Donohue took while in Vietnam)
  • The Unbelievable True Story Of John Donohue And ‘The Greatest Beer Run Ever’ (All Things Interesting, also has photos)

For Your Entertainment

tove lo

Warning: eating disorders

I am a fan of Tove Lo, I appreciate her unapologetic sexuality, her creativity, her vulnerability, her not trying to be mainstream. Her songs aren't always my jam, her videos sometimes make me uncomfortable, but I really appreciate that power her art possesses. Her talent is underrated. Her latest album, Dirt Femme was released yesterday and in anticipation of it, she released a video for a single off the album, entitled, “Grapefruit.” This is a song about the eating disorder that plagued her teen years and whether or not you have experienced ED, there will be parts of these lyrics (in the description of the video on YouTube) and how she portrays the feelings through dance that will feel all too familiar. Tove Lo's words on this song and video:

“I’ve tried to write this song for over 10 years. I know I haven’t talked about it a lot in interviews or even in my music which is my most honest place. I guess I had to find the right way to share the feelings and the vicious circle of behavior I was stuck in. I’ve been free from my ED and my body issues for a very long time but they did take up too many of my teenage years. I’m not sure why I wrote this song now. Maybe the 2 years of stillness brought back memories, maybe I needed all this time I’ve been free from it to be able to look back without feeling pain. One of the many feelings I remember is needing to crawl out of my own skin. I felt so trapped in a body I hated. I wanted a video that portrayed that, and Lisette and Toogie knew exactly how to create that with me. It was honestly really hard putting myself back in that headspace but it was necessary for me. I’m gonna let the song speak for itself now ❤️”

    Thanks for unlocking the NYT article on the Florida retirees displaced by Hurricane Ian. I feel sorry for them, but I also think we in America need to come to terms with our choices. For a global perspective, consider the 2022 floods in Pakistan, where more than 33 million people have been affected by circumstances beyond their control:

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.
