There are a few things coming back from the 80s, and I plan to give them a try. I don’t adhere to avoiding clothing items the second time around. Instead, I’m all for it! Heck, I still have some items from the 80 and 90s, so it’s all a win in my opinion! Bodysuits areContinue reading Will You Try a Bodysuit?
DIY with a Tailor: Deconstructed Denim
I’ve been eyeing all sorts of deconstructed denim lately. Keep in mind, I also pick up denim at my local thrift store (Mee & Gee or Me & George) any time I walk in the door. (In fact yesterday, I picked up two jean jackets and a jean skirt at Mee & Gee. I know!Continue reading DIY with a Tailor: Deconstructed Denim
Only Black Swimsuits For Me From Now On
Ok, it’s June 1st which means summer along with swimsuit season is here. I’ve decided from now on, it’s only black swimsuits for me. I’m 45 years old, and I’ve definitely got a mom bod–which is all good–but it does mean I have the appropriate amount of cellulite and sag. (I will admit right nowContinue reading Only Black Swimsuits For Me From Now On
The Fab 40s and Our Favorite Colors
I love when The Fab 40s get together. We all have such different styles, yet we have a common bond in loving and sharing our own style. I have to admit something: the last couple of themes were difficult to wrap my head around–there’s nothing princessy nor villainous about me, so dressing those parts wasContinue reading The Fab 40s and Our Favorite Colors
My Name is Asher Lev: A Book with an Outfit
I started a book club this year amongst the high school teachers I work with. It’s been a successful little club with the typical book club characteristics. One special perk though is I buy the book for all the teachers: sometimes they know what’s coming while other times I surprise them with a title. Recently,Continue reading My Name is Asher Lev: A Book with an Outfit
A Mesh Dress and Instagram Friends
Last week I had a bit of a tantrum about Instagram. While the tantrum is still present, here’s the truth: I do wake up, open up my Instagram, scroll through the feed, and find style inspiration. This happens often, and it was definitely the case when I went to wear this mesh dress. I sawContinue reading A Mesh Dress and Instagram Friends
We are Open Water Certified
The family are making the blog today because this past spring break we did something really incredible: the four of us became open water certified scuba divers. Wow! The sea is so incredibly–literally and figuratively–breathtaking so thank goodness for that tank on our backs. Scuba diving used to be something Kevin and I had bothContinue reading We are Open Water Certified
White Shirt: Ping Pong Piece No. 3
For one year, Anna, Samantha and myself sent items around the world for the Ping Pong Post that would happen on the 20th of each month. This year, we’ve made a list of items that most likely every woman has in their wardrobe, and we style it. Plus, we’ve added a new touch: we inviteContinue reading White Shirt: Ping Pong Piece No. 3
DIY: Colorful Feather Slides
It seems every time I pass by the Miu Miu window, I get inspired by their shoes! It happened last year with these ribbon lace pumps. This year it happened when I saw these colorful feather slides. I’ve had them on my mind for some time, and now I’ve finally made my own version. IContinue reading DIY: Colorful Feather Slides
Oh Instagram, what are we going to do with you?
Oh Instagram, you’re really starting to bother all of us. You used to be so good. So, so, so very good. We’d look at beautiful images and be able to keep up with those we followed for 24 hours. It could be something done once a day with joy. We might try out some hashtags,Continue reading Oh Instagram, what are we going to do with you?
Bright Stripes
Right about this time of year, I switch out my wardrobe. The fall and winter items get stored away, and out come the spring and summer clothes. When I saw this dress, I realized I hadn’t worn it in a while. The last time was during spring of 2015. These bright stripes needed some loveContinue reading Bright Stripes
Eyebrow Care (Vlog No. 4)
I promise this vlog is no joke. You can safely watch all the way to the end and know that I am being honest throughout. My last alternative makeup vlog got a few of you you, but it was posted on April 1st. Now you know that deep down I’m a jokester!! This vlog todayContinue reading Eyebrow Care (Vlog No. 4)
