We were so lucky to have been able to participate in a live stream/chat last week with Elizabeth Hurley(@elizabethhurley) and Marisa Thalberg (@ExecutiveMoms), VP, Corporate Digital Marketing for Estee Lauder in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness this month of October and also to promote their truly amazing BCA Campaign, where we can all work together…
When Audrey over at Conversation Pieces told me that she is now carrying Moss Mills in her shop, I couldn’t help but be elated for her. This designer duo has such a sharp eye for detail and style that their accessories are sure to be an instant hit with any fashionista. Now, I know that…

Gypsy ’05 is one of my go-to web sites for comfortable, casual and fashionable clothes and accessories. I love their organic cotton maxi dresses (I have one in almost every color) and wear them all year ’round, regardless of the temperature. Their sweat pants are the best – so soft (and flattering!) that I can…
Despite the fact that they’re my birthstone, it took me a long time to get into pearls. They just didn’t suit my personal style. Over the past few years, though, my style has evolved and I have gotten into them in a big way. These days, I wear my pearl studs at least three days…
When I had the opportunity to interview $100 Makeover’s Leslie Segrete, I immediately asked her about a topic that’s been on my mind lately: everyday elegance. Whether it’s true or not, I have the impression that my grandmother used to entertain in refined style on a regular basis. I have visions of her serving hors…
At the LA Makeup Show last weekend, one thing was clear: mineral makeup is more than a fad. It’s already taken over a significant share of the market, and all signs indicate that it will keep growing. So what’s the big deal? Well, traditionally makeup contains some type of petroleum dye, which is what gives…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 8 “The Original Pet” All of the plants in my Japanese garden were frozen solid. The sky was an ice-blue and that was bad news. When it’s sunny here in winter, the temperature DROPS. The air was very still and the ice was thick. No birds were in…
Every woman deserves to preserve her ‘fashion integrity’, new mom or not! Although, I regret I cannot offer many suggestions for the mother in the painting above. She appears to exist several centuries before Brangelina and their gaggle of nannies and personal chefs, and likely does not have the time to attend to thoughts of…
Thanks to Sears, I was able to finish my Christmas shopping just in time!! Last week, I made an order on LandsEnd.com and ordered several things for my daughter from the clearance section including Girls Tie-Dye Yoga Pants for $5.99 (orig $21) with the matching Girls’ Long Sleeve Tie-dye T-shirt that was on sale for…
Apparently Granny Panties Are Hazardous to National Security! My grandmother was a very interesting and quirky lady indeed. Born in 1906 to parents who grew up during the latter part of the Victorian Era, she was an interesting mix of the utmost propriety and manners thrown in with a little bit of feminist ideals, although…
It’s time to get a jump on your holiday shopping and save on shipping! Here are a few gift ideas for the fashionable (or not-so-fashionable) people in you life: What: The Art of Social War: A Novel A witty novel about a 35-year old, die-hard New York woman who wants nothing more than to marry…
How to Get Through the HolidaysWithout the D Word Coming Back to Haunt You The “D” word you say? Why, whatever could that be? Dysfuntion? Well, of course, not. Dysfunction never shows up around the holidays! It especially never shows up if your mother-in-law is present. Mother-in-laws, after all, are experts in every field, including the field of…
I have to admit that I grew up in a rather proper home, with a proper mother who knew how to set the table just so, and how to use which spoon when and with what. However, as proper as my own mother was, my grandmother was even more so. My grand-mother, having been born…
Winners: Peggy & Maureen comments #259 and #27 chosen by Random.org. I absolutely love shopping at TJ Maxx and Marshalls! They are 2 of my favorite stores because no matter when I go, I always find something I’m interested in at a very good price. Last time I went to Marshalls, I bought a really…
Believe it or not, comfortable shoes are “in style” this season. Get ready to bring on the ballet flats, wedges, and low heel styles. While comfort is becoming more and more important even to the most prissy fashionistas, style can not be compromised. Most people think of their grandmother’s loafers when they hear “comfort footwear”,…
