Friday night I got home and realized I spilled on my dress, so I switched to the dress that arrived in the mail – the “Kate” dress from J. Crew in “Flame.” This is a bright orange-red that I adore. On sale and with a coupon so the dress was a cheap as Old Navy. Score! Same accessories.
Attended a circle of women in my community which was really wonderful. Met some new people, connected closer with those I already knew, had some of the BEST watermelon of the season!
Saturday… for the life of me I cannot remember Saturday. Oh yes, yoga, then lunch with my mom, then ran errands. I came home and tried out some of the camping supplies for our upcoming trip to Bonnaroo, waterproofed my Duo boots, took a nap, went out to dinner… nothing terribly exciting and no pictures.
Sunday began with errands and then yoga.

After this , we headed to the Eastern Shore to visit our good friends. Knew it was a relaxed atmosphere and probably some time spent on the beach.

We had a great time, saw lots of friends, played with their son who just turned 1, chilled on the beach and grilled for dinner. Got a bit of sun even though I put on the SPF 30.

I think a lot about pants, as I think they are the easiest and most impactful way to update an existing closet. I find the wide-leg fashion trend to look modern, fresh, and comfortable.

As soon as September comes I start thinking about boots. I can go without sweaters and scarves and pumpkin spice lattes, but I miss my tall boots. For many years, I was jealous of others for they were able to snag great tall boots, and my large calves and shins made it impossible. I purchased… Continue Reading My Favorite Wide Calf Boot Resources
Weekend Reads I was seriously obsessed with Sinead O’Connor as a high schooler and kept my obsession under wraps after the SNL experience. I often think how different that moment would have been taken in current times. Loved reading about O’Connor now and how positively she took being “canceled” back then.

What trends do you see lasting and which ones are going out of fashion? I usually guess by what goes on clearance but I see cold shoulders on clearance and cold shoulders in new arrivals. Help! It seems like plus-size offerings are saturated with bell/balloon selves and cold shoulders (still!!). Any idea how long the… Continue Reading Fashion Trends: Which Are Timeless and Which Should be Tossed?
I cleaned out my purse last weekend and found $80 worth of Nordstrom Rewards. I felt this was a sign so I decided to check out Nordstrom’s sale department. Here’s what I I liked, and what I didn’t like so much: MICHAEL Michael Kors Python Print Skirt (Petite) As you can tell from this post,… Continue Reading Recent Purchases – Nordstrom

LOVE that dress with those sandals. What a fantastic color, reminds me of that long ago blood orange Mizrahi sweater at Target.
