Chic at 60ish!

The days are cooler; the nights darker. Fall has arrived & my fall wardrobe is out in full force—I’m reaching for leather jackets & blazers every day. Boots look—and feel—great. So do loafers. I’m also loving my wide-leg pants & long flowy skirts with cropped sweaters. Add big earrings & I am dressed! Whether you’re Continue reading

Is it better to be over or underdressed? Like Hamlet, that is the question! For me there’s no question—I’m always overdressed. In jeans, even in workout clothes, I never leave home without make-up & jewelry, giving that “dressed up” look, no matter what I’m wearing. Full disclosure—even though I’m a widow, I still wear a Continue reading

Aren’t you so happy fall has arrived? Not only do we love the cooler weather, but if you love clothes, you cannot wait to wear your favorite leather jacket, favorite blazer, favorite boots. I get it! A lot of us do. A lot of us also like to shop—or scroll—through our favorite sites. No need Continue reading

My dear Fashionistas—Welcome back to my blog! Hoping everyone had a good summer & feels ready to jump into fall, chic as ever. I love fall. Always have. Crisp air. Crunchy leaves. Crackling fires. But of course, the best part is the clothes. Even as a young woman, (when I had a waist!) I looked Continue reading

I was a little girl in the late 60’s and early 70’s. My mother, Cis Golder, was super-stunning—but very Jackie Kennedy, not at all Bianca Jagger. Ladylike suits, sheath dresses (still love them), and coats with big buttons. That was the look. NOSTALGIA CHIC: My mom in a beautiful Adolfo patchwork skirt in the early Continue reading

The best Mother’s Day gift I ever received came from my mother. 18 years ago, my mother was in the last stages of her battle with breast cancer, when my dad read an article in The New York Times Style Section about the Hermes “Birkin” bag, explaining how customers often stay on a list for Continue reading

Are sports & fashion an unlikely pair or a natural match? What do you think? Let’s start with college basketball’s Caitlin Clark. In a two-week span, she toppled a series of never-to-be-busted records that left her standing as the most decorated scorer in college hoops history—putting a tres-chic bow on a one-of-a-kind college career. THE Continue reading

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. Trying on a beautiful black dress I’d bought the year before, I looked in the mirror and my heart Continue reading

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
