Ten years ago, my whole body fell down. I remember the day perfectly. We had been invited to a fancy holiday party and I was having a little fashion show with myself, deciding what to wear.

ACCESSORIES MAKE YOUR LOOK SING!
Just like that, Sarah Jessica Parker turned 59 last week. Almost 60ish! Though it has been 20 years since we watched her—and her evolving wardrobe—on “Sex and the City,” I remain a major fan, toasting both her birthday and the announcement of her return to HBO’s “And Just Like That,” the continuing story of life… Continue reading

Last week I needed a fun girls’ day—as so many of us do at this moment in the world—so I took myself to New York to meet my wonderful friend Lyn in Bergdorf Goodman, one of my “happy places.” To me, once I walk through those thick glass doors & step on that thick ivory… Continue reading

The news is worse every day. Whatever your politics, internationally, nationally, even locally, it’s tough to watch the news without feeling a knot in your stomach & a tear in your heart. At times like this, fashion may seem silly & superfluous—yet fashion makes a statement. What you wear tells the world about your attitude,… Continue reading

GOING TO A RESORT–IF ONLY IN YOUR CLOSET!
Close your eyes and picture a wonderful resort. Glistening white sand. Gentle aqua waves. Swaying palm trees. Colorful flowers. Feel the balmy breeze. Hear the rhythm of a steel band, playing in the distance. Sip a spicy cold margarita. Now, come back to reality. If you’re in the northeast, outside your window the air is… Continue reading

I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT…
As we hit mid-February, those of us who’ve been in the northeast all winter begin to feel a bit restless. Though at 60ish we often spend big bucks on serums & creams for our faces, a little vitamin D on our body still feels great. Just enough to look sun-kissed! With that in mind, I… Continue reading

SWANS, SUSTAINABILITY & RESALE SHOPPING!
It’s no surprise that I’m obsessed with “Feud: Capote vs the Swans,” on FX & Peacock. I’ve watched episodes 1 & 2 plus the director’s version, which includes what the network cut—somehow my TV dvr’d that & I loved it. I anxiously await Wednesday night’s new installment, featuring Truman Capote’s famed black & white ball, plus… Continue reading
