We moved into our home in 2000. In 2008 and the beginning of 2009 we did a pretty major renovation. I was pregnant and we decided we’d rather add onto our small but sweet 1940’s row home than move. We almost doubled the size going from just under 750 square feet to around 1,300. And… Continue Reading Refreshing a Hallway Bath with Interior Décor from The Home Depot
I’m writing this on Wednesday as Thursday I drove to Richmond, Virginia for the Rebelle Conference. I’m driving home today (Saturday) but leaving again tomorrow for California for another speaking engagement. Do follow along on Instagram Stories; I’ll be sure to write recaps once I am home and settled in. Weekend Reads The costume designer… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #50
I may be a fashion blogger but that doesn’t mean I have my act together. I always have coffee spilled on my blouse, regularly end up with lipstick on my teeth, and my bruised legs tell the tale of how I am constantly walking into or tripping over things. I have tried so many self-tanners… Continue Reading Self-Tanning for Lazy Klutzes

It’s that hot pink Banana Republic pantsuit again! Going through my archives I see I purchased this suit early in 2017. I wore it to the rewardStyle Conference, to NewsBash, to showcase the Chico’s How Bold Are You campaign. I’ve worn the blazer alone, the pants alone, and the combination to many situations off the… Continue Reading The Hot Pink Banana Republic Pantsuit
Looking back on this week, I feel the theme was “I don’t shine if you don’t shine,” which is taken from Shine Theory. Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow (well known for their fab podcast Call Your Girlfriend as well as individual projects and an upcoming book) coined Shine Theory, which is collaborating rather than competing… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #49
I love hoop earrings, and since high school, I’ve worn bamboo hoops. Although I still wear them, I feel they are looking a bit try-hard on me if not with just the right outfit. I don’t walk around with a t-shirt saying, “No really, I’ve worn these earrings for 25 years” and a middle-aged white… Continue Reading Commissioning Denisa Piatti Custom Jewelry
Last week we discussed the difficulty in finding a great pair of white jeans. This week, another difficult item to shop for, swimsuits. The worst! If they fit on the bottom they don’t on the top, they ride, they sag, they showcase everything we want hidden, they don’t support or if they do they lack… Continue Reading The Best Swimsuits: Hits and Misses
It’s clear I love overalls. I own four pairs and have been tempted to purchase more. They’re fun and look funky and artsy. They don’t care if you ate a whole burrito from Chipotle and are way more comfy, especially when sitting and on humid days, than a pair of jeans. I loved overalls back… Continue Reading How to Style Overalls
