It’s Kentucky Derby time again. The 141st running of the thoroughbred race, “The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports,” is always the first Saturday in May. My outfit this week is inspired by the go-big or go-home headdresses usually worn at this annual horserace since 1875. My outfit may not be perfect for Churchill Downs, but […]
Fashion
Here are all of my posts featuring my personal outfits and looks, plus style tips, and iconic women to inspire women over the age of 50 to be their most stylish self.
Smooth Jazz: Stop, Look and Listen
The inspiration for this week’s blog post is Smooth Jazz saxophonist Boney James’s instrumental version of the song “Stop, Look, and Listen.” It is an excellent segue into discussing April as Jazz Appreciation Month. Thanks to the Smooth Jazz station on Sirius satellite radio, I can stop, look, and listen all day when I take […]
Pumped for Spring?
Every year, I hope to get to Washington, D. C., to be among the many tourists to see the nation’s most extensive collection of cherry blossom trees. On April 28, 2013, I was pumped for spring to be in the nation’s capital for my first Nike Women’s Half-Marathon. That is not exactly how I planned […]
Falling Like Dominos
Some things don’t have to be, like the high death rates associated with colon cancer. The colon cancer cure rate is 90% when symptoms are detected early. The staggering colon cancer rates suggest that many people, especially young women, are falling like dominos.
Kick Start Spring
We have all heard about or participated in campaigns. Campaign for this, for that, get involved, make a difference campaigns. Capital campaigns to raise funds, political ones to elect public officials and not to be left out, the health industry awareness campaigns. Just one week into March, I am urging you like the American Dietetic […]
Top Dog
Top Dog The late Charles Schultz Peanuts comic strip character, Snoopy, is not the only famous and beloved beagle. The top dog, Miss P, won best in show at the 2015 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. The 15-inch beagle reached the pinnacle of the dog world as the second beagle to win the prestigious dog […]
Had Enough Already?
I hoped to escape the winter gloom when I recently journeyed to New York City to help my daughter celebrate her 28th birthday. New York isn’t so much fun when you trudge through the slush, dirty snow, and the prospect of another Monday storm. Can I get a show of hands? Have you had […]
Dress Code
Dress Code Every four years, I take a political plunge during the election or re-election of the governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Last week, hubby and I attended the newly elected Tom Wolf’s “Let’s Get Started” themed inaugural celebration at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center. Interestingly enough, the governor requested a low-key event […]
Red Alert
Red Alert It’s a red alert at ModCloth for the Pantone 2015 Color of the Year. Officially, it’s marsala, an earthy red wine. It’s not too soon to start planning a few key pieces for spring transition looks (you know they sell out early on the new colors every year). A ModCloth stylist approached me to […]
Frozen
I couldn’t resist the temptation to title this blog post Frozen. Not so much for the highest-grossing Disney animated movie but for the frigid temperatures we are experiencing. Tsk to me for using polar vortex in my last blog post. I just learned the popular term is currently a banished expression, as per Huffington Post. […]
