Chic at 60ish!

Looking and feeling great at every age

  • YOUR “BUY/ KEEP/ STORE” LIST FOR SPRING!

    Off to Florida to visit with dear friends and enjoy some sun and R&R—I’ll let you know the latest on resort fashion directly from beautiful Boca Raton and Palm Beach when I return. In the meantime, I asked Missy Dietz, general manager of Boyds in Philadelphia & Wayne and Sandy Edelstein, owner of Grove 121 Continue reading

  • EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN–SUCH A 60’S MOMENT!

    One of the best parts of being a fashion writer—besides sharing the latest trends with my dear readers—is being invited to meet designers & attend wonderful shows. Last week I was invited to the opening of the newest exhibit at The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, “Alexey Brodovitch: Astonish Me,” running through May 19th. The art Continue reading

  • PRETTY STRONG WOMEN!

    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

  • MAKEUP & MORE–NEW YEAR, NEW YOU!

    When the sun rose on January 1st, an overwhelming majority of women made the same New Year’s resolution: To take better care of themselves. This is a big step for lots of women—many of us spend so much of our lives taking care of others, at last we’ve admitted we need to pamper ourselves a Continue reading

  • GLITTER & GLAM FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE!

    Though I love holidays, parties, and getting dressed up, I admit, I’m often apprehensive about New Year’s Eve. Everyone tries so hard to have a good time, then honestly spends half the evening looking at their watches, waiting for the ball to drop. And I hate that “Old Lang Syne” song, it makes me want Continue reading

  • SPARKLY JEWELRY, SPARKLY SMILES: THE TRUE MEANING OF “WHITE CHRISTMAS!”

    I adore the holidays. Always have. Carols, cards and crackling fires. Decorations and dressing up. All some of my favorite things! I adore shopping for presents or thinking of a fabulous experience—searching for the perfect gift, pleasing those I love when I find it. Though life never seems busier, as the song goes, for me Continue reading

  • BLACK & WHITE: ALWAYS RIGHT!

    The holiday season is in full swing—traditionally, ‘tis the season to wear red! That said, for many fashionistas red feels a bit cliched & predictable; when in doubt, go for black & white. Then add gold, silver or of course shades of red, for some pop. THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS/”LBD,” TIMELESS & TOTALLY NEW: Black Continue reading
