For years I shied from linen. I’m already a klutz who often has a dribble of coffee on her shirt, a smear of cream cheese on her cuff. To add wrinkles and creases to my look would just make me look like a slob. If you go through my archives, rarely will you see linen… Continue Reading What I Wore: Silk and Linen
Sponsored by Macy’s and ShopStyle One of the most popular questions I get from readers is where to get well-fitting plus size jeans. One of you mentioned WILLIAM RAST jeans to me saying they’re great for curves, stretchy without stretching out, and available at Macy’s. When they reached out and asked if I’d like to… Continue Reading What I Wore: William Rast for Macy’s Jeans

Will you look like a toddler, a Weeble Wobble, a try-hard? Can you REALLY wear overalls? Let’s be honest for a second. Do you really think… Continue Reading What I Wore: Wear the Overalls!

New recipe tried for dinner? There’s a good chance it came from the pages of Good Housekeeping. Now that I am an adult, Good Housekeeping is still a part… Continue Reading A Tour of Good Housekeeping with Jambu

I am agast at how our government is worried more about money than the lives of its residents and wished to be one of the hundreds of thousands who protested that day. But my daughter had her karate tournament, and her… Continue Reading What I Wore: Resister Sister
There’s some color combinations I just adore, and I love when they come back in style. Red with pink is a hot trend and one I’ve worn for years (see here and here).

Jumpsuit: c/o ELOQUII (14) | Bracelet: Had forever… Continue Reading What I Wore: Bold Floral
