I love when trends end up being practical! After many seasons of stilettos, the block heel is back. And not only that, a lower block heel is just as chic as a higher one! Rejoice, the wider heel better distributes weight and pressure, keeping you comfortable longer. This sort of heel looks fantastic with trousers… Continue Reading Wearable Spring Trend: The Block Heel
Since I featured the Dagne Dover Landon Carryall on Instagram and my most recent travel post, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the bag. How much can it REALLY hold? Can it fit under an airplane seat? How big is it compared to a human body?
A little weight gain and a little adjustment in the cut and fit of ELOQUII and now I find some styles of their clothing fit (see my first purchase in this post). Since I had success with that dress I’ve made a couple more orders. I also have connected with the brand and they have… Continue Reading Recent Clothing Hits and Misses: ELOQUII Edition

After 40 years in my childhood home, my mom has downsized to a townhome not far from where I live. Downsizing of square footage means downsizing of belongings; my sister and I have been… Continue Reading A New Love and Second Life
It’s cold and I feel woefully unprepared. With a bit of weight gain, most of my cold-weather casual wear is snug and not as sassy. I also wanted more gear to be active outside in the winter, something I always wish I had this time of year and never invest in. ASOS Wrap Maxi Dress… Continue Reading Recent Fashion Purchases, Hits and Misses
I didn’t recap my outfits. I didn’t share the best swag, the best buys, the best beauty of the year. I didn’t do a blog in review (though there’s a draft version I chose not to post) and I didn’t write about my goals for the New Year. I didn’t because every time I felt… Continue Reading A Belated New Year Post…
