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! 🧡

#throwbackthursday to what I wore 10 years ago in September…

A decade ago I was working full time in an office and was promoted to manage a good portion of my department. My blog was doing quite well, I was featured in local and national publications and websites. I was embracing what I felt to be a polished professional with an edgy vibe. Less color, more interesting accessories, and my first semi-designer bag (I still have that leopard print mini M.A.C. In the back of my closet). 

I have come to embrace color and have way less black in my closet now, but a lot of these looks are timeless and I would wear now… just likely with lower heels! 😂

Do you recall what you were wearing a decade ago? How similar is it to how you dress now?

Years ago, I had an opportunity with this job to go to a salon owned by a celebrity brow guru, who reshaped my brows. He told me that even though I color my grays, choosing a taupe pencil over brown will look more natural on my 40-something face. I've been using taupe ever since, but not all taupes are created equal. I've found a new favorite taupe brow pencil – this one from Julep which has a great brownish-grayish taupe pencil on one side and a thickening gel on the other. The combination gives me the brows I've been seeking and it looks natural even up close.

And for my local yokels, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill the Musical is coming to DC's Broadway at The National Theatre on March 14th and will be here through the 26th.

Last week's Weekend Reads

Hear/See/Read

Three Thousand Years of Longing | Weekend Reads #236

My sister shared that a few premium channels on Xfinity were having free days to lure you in, meaning access to new premium movies. She took the chance to see Top Gun: Maverick and my husband and I looked at the selections and chose Three Thousand Years of Longing. I knew nothing about this film beyond knowing Tilda Swinton was in it, and that was enough for me. Folks, you HAVE to see this film. At this time it's available on Sling, ROKU Channel, Apple TV, and MGM+ but I think each option costs or requires a subscription. But IMO it's worth the $5.99 on Apple TV.

Tilda Swinton as Alithea

Based on The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye by A.S. Byatt, Three Thousand Years of Longing stars Tilda Swinton as Alithea, an academic visiting Istanbul for a conference. More specifically, Alithea is a narratologist, someone who studies storytelling. While shopping, she finds a quirky capped bottle in a shop and buys it. We can all know what happens next when she goes to rub said bottle clean. Enter Idris Elba.

Three Thousand Years of Longing movie

The thing is, we all know the story of the genie in the bottle and three wishes, but this movie is fresh and vibrant and gives depth and passion to this age-old story. Having the wish-receiver a narratologist familiar with this story, Alithea goes about the three wishes with caution. Not only innovative and engaging, but this film is also utterly gorgeous to look at.

Three Thousand Years of Longing screengrab

Tilda Swinton has a face you love looking at, as does Idris Elba, who plays the Djinn. It's delightful to see the banter between these two, and to have a female protagonist who is smart, stylish, savvy, but not cold or lacking emotion. Some scenes are so perfectly set up they look like a painting and there was amazing attention to detail (I of course, noticed Swinton's character's fashion and how she carried the same fab leather bag over three years).

Three Thousand Years of Longing gif

Do note, there is a sultan in the movie who is attracted to women in larger bodies; this is described in passing as a “fetish”. Also there is criticism that this movie is Orientalism and fetishizes a Black man. I encourage you to watch the film yourself and then make your own opinion. If you've seen this film, I'd love to read your thoughts in the comments!

Most Expensivest | Weekend Reads #236

There are some shows you watch and know they're made for folks who are high. And some are utterly stupid, and some are pretty great even if you don't imbibe. And one of these shows that I just adore completely sober in the middle of the day while being a grown-ass woman doing my grown-ass things is back for a fourth season on Vice: Most Expensivest. Originally a web series hosted by GQ, this show moved to cable TV and is likely a favorite of stoner 20-somethings across the country and DVred by this middle-aged couple in the DC suburbs.

Weekend Reads #236

Hosted by 2 Chainz who is fashionable, funny, and usually smoking weed, each episode has a theme and features connoisseurs and collectors who own the most expensive items from that category. Sometimes 2 Chainz invites friends, famous celebrities, and even his family to join him on these experiences. You will see the best of the best, whether it's a guitar worth half a million, or a pair of roller skates by Louboutin.

And 2 Chainz' commentary and reactions just make the show. He's very chill, a man of few words, and as I mentioned usually either smoking weed or admitting he did before the filming, so when something blows his mind or piques his interest it's all the better.

Most Expensivest reality show

This show features excess (the one about wheels with the lowrider cars utterly blew my mind) but it really focuses on the collectors, the experts, and you see the passion in these folks, and often end up seeing through it who they are as a person and who they were as a child. But what makes Most Expensivest so ridiculous is the editing. You know how with reality shows you wonder if the editing is altering what really happened? You know that is so with Most Expensivest.

They do really silly editing and you wonder how much 2 Chainz is involved. He is sometimes made fun of, sometimes his guests are, but usually it's very respectful of these collectors and 2 Chainz (and the audience) leave all the wiser about a lesser-known niche.

The Recruit on Netflix

Finally, my husband finished up Season 1 of The Recruit on Netflix and I have caught a few bits and pieces through the season and most of the last episode, and this show is pretty great. If you like action and espionage without it being too dark and intense, and if you like looking at a very cute 26-year-old boy who can't resist choosing the most dangerous or unknown option and charming everyone along the way, this is for you.

The Recruit on Netflix | Weekend Reads #236

You may recognize Noah Centineo from To All The Boys I've Loved Before and Serena Burgess is a Loser. He's the Michael Schoeffling (AKA Jake Ryan) of our current times, with tons of charm and puppy dog eyes. I really didn't expect to be so impressed by his performance in The Recruit. And the rest of the cast is phenomenal.

For Your Entertainment

RAYE Escapism

I recently saw the video for RAYE's song with 070 Shake called ‘“‘Escapism‘“‘ and it was like watching an episode of Euphoria, a series I stopped after less than one season because I found it so disturbing. I get it, heck, we had similar music when we were in our teens and 20's about the same topics, but that doesn't mean as a mom of a teenager I wish to see it. But RAYE intrigued me. A 25-year-old British award-winning artist, RAYE has written songs for many famous folk (Beyonce, John Legend, Ellie Goulding) and performed with artists like David Guetta and Jonas Blue.

And because I watched ‘Escapism' YouTube recommended I watch RAYE's latest video for her song, ‘”‘Ice Cream Man.'”‘ And I am not sharing this video here on the blog (here is a link to watch it on YouTube) because this song and the corresponding video I know can be traumatic for those who have experienced sexual violence.

But I share because as we had Tori Amos singing about what no one wished to speak about, we have artists like RAYE who continue to use their art for awareness and sharing experiences that sadly many can relate to. As RAYE shares at the end of this video, “This evil has more power over us in the dark than it does the light.” So to experience RAYNE in a more mild manner, below is her recent performance on the Graham Norton Show for her song ‘The Thrill is Gone.'

    I love The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye! In fact, I love a lot of AS Byatt’s short stories – far more than her novels (which are also good). “The Story of the Eldest Princess” in the same collection as the Djinn is also really clever – she’s thinking a lot about the expected roles of women and the structure of traditional stories. Now I need to check out that film 🙂

    If you liked Bill Fairclough’s epic spy thriller Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series about a rookie accountant working for Pemberton’s People in MI6 and the CIA you may like The Recruit by Alexi Hawley about a rookie CIA lawyer (Noah Centineo) and vice versa. The plots are quite complicated in both productions but unlike The Recruit, The Burlington Files plots and characters are real, credible and much more intriguing. However, do remember Beyond Enkription is a fact based novel about a real spy called Bill Fairclough (MI6 codename JJ) aka Edward Burlington. He was one of Pemberton’s People in MI6 and worked with real SAS Rogue Heroes and other ungentlemanly officers as explained in a news article dated 31 October 2022 available from TheBurlingtonFiles website.

    Have you followed any of the discussions about transphobic content at the New York Times? My partner just unsubscribed from the NYT crossword after well over 1000 days without missing a puzzle. As a trans person, those links in your list do feel loaded.

        Thank you for asking for clarification! The NYT has been publishing transphobic content and it’s been quite a public discussion (with lots of contributors signing a letter to the editors etc). Linking to a platform that endorses transphobia feels like tacit approval or prioritizing income over trans safety. It feels “loaded” as in, it is not morally neutral. I’ll stop reading this blog if it doesn’t align with my values. I’ve followed for years though, so I’m hoping and trusting that Alison think it through and do what is right for her… and then I’ll do what is right for me!

          I thank you for bringing this up and in such an informative and calm manner, as it is a serious issue. I was so focused on providing content that is accessbile/not behind a paywall I lost sight of what is truly important to me and to this community. That IS a lot of NYT links and your comment reminded me that what I share truly matters.

            Aaaaa I’m going to cry! Thanks for taking time to reflect. Things change so fast and It’s hard to keep up. When you started doing gift article links a few months back I was so happy to be able to read stuff I usually couldn’t access, but then, UGH, they just had to go and be offensive idiots. Thanks for keeping it in mind as you make your list. I know that you also need to keep your business running successfully, so I appreciate that it’s a delicate balance.

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.

I’ve been raving about my Printfresh pajamas for years, my family also wanted to try them. Thank you Printfresh for gifting these for our annual three generation girls’ getaway to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We had a great time and being all matchy matchy in our pajamas was a fun addition! 🐅🍃🥰
