Chic at 60ish!

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

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

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

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

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.
