It’s cold outside but you already knew that! Since learning of the new buzzword polar vortex earlier this month, it’s brought record bone chilling below freezing temperatures, bitter cold, icy conditions and treacherous winds, am I right? Is that what you are seeing and feeling where you live? This morning when I left for work it was […]
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.
Beat the Clock
I think that my first year as a blogger reminds me of the game, Beat the Clock. As the name implies, you are always trying the beat time. Which isn’t a bad thing, necessarily, because it forces you to utilize your time well, be organized and be consistent with self-appointed weekly deadlines. When I embarked […]
There was One Spot, Camelot
This year has been full momentous historical anniversaries, like the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington and the Rev., Dr Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” Speech, but I can’t help but recall that day in history burned into many American minds when on November 22,1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. […]
Like Mother, Like Daughter
I’d like to believe that my millennial daughter–Channing in the City–inherited her sense of style from me. I have to admit as I continue to mature and age gracefully, she educates me in the area of style and fashion. Today, I would like to devote this post to how, my fashion forward reporter/stylist daughter keeps […]
All Tied Up
It’s that time of the year again, scarf season. Who knew wearing scarves had such early beginnings? As early as 1350 B.C. Egyptian Queen Neferti wore a finely woven scarf topped by a conical headdress. In Egyptian culture, scarves were viewed as a social status symbol. Queen Neferti was one of the first known scarf […]
Cloaked in Magic
I know Underdog is not the most revered cartoon caped crusade. I just like what the superhero stood for. Shoeshine Boy’s alter-ego Underdog, appeared whenever his love interest Sweet Polly Purebred was being victimized by villains as Simon Bar Sinister or Riff Raff (don’t you love their names). When villiains threatened, Shoeshine Boy, ducked into […]
Purple Reign
We know too well the statistics that affect women concerning Breast Cancer but do you know the horrendous statistics with domestic violence? Not only is October Breast Cancer Awareness Month but slowly there is another dangerous cloud looming over many women, domestic violence. It’s only over the last nearly 20 years that Violence Against Women […]
Focused on Peplum
Peplum jackets, dresses, and tops experienced a revival as a fashion trend in 2012. I see why, it’s an easy look to amp up your everyday style that most body types can sport, even a curvy girl like moi. Let’s take a step back in fashion time history to look at the beginnings of the […]
Pinking of You
Did you know 1 in 3 women will have cancer in their lifetime and 1 in 8 will have breast cancer? October is Breast Cancer Awareness, the annual national calendar focus to bring about awareness for women to get a mammogram and reminder to perform monthly self-checks. Breast Cancer Awareness is an effort to raise awareness […]
It’s My Birthday!
One would think that I celebrated a milestone birthday this year. Late August, I was told to reserve a date for the girls to get together, no problem! As the August date came closer, I asked could I bring anything to help us with the dinner that we were scheduled to enjoy., I was told […]
