An article in this weeks’ The Daily Mail (usually a blast of a read, with the prerequisite dry British humour–yes I spelled it the way they do–thrown in) stopped me in my tracks. I had actually been planning my outfit for a luncheon event and had decided to forgo my usual black on black and go with a peachy, swingy (but knee-length) skirt with off-white and beige accents. To top it all off (or bottom it, as it were), I thought I’d bring out my two newest purchases . . . nude-colored fishnet stockings and patent leather nude-colored pumps. (more…)

My Blue Period
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
I’ve always been a bit of a late bloomer and never once have I referred to myself as an early adopter. Trends and . . . well . . . just about everything . . . need to grow on me–sometimes quite slowly–before they “take.”

Gerit Quealy, writer, friend, and style editor of the fab website StyleGoesStrong.com, did this piece about wearing a bikini after a certain age.

Thursday, July 21st, 2011
It was 1968, and she came to visit us from Germany. I was 12 and she was 19–a gap as wide as the Atlantic Ocean that separated our daily lives. I mean, really, she had no interest in hanging around with a 12 year old! But, that was a long time ago (or as Cousin B would say: that was in former times). And now? Best friends, and closer than sisters. (more…)
