Fashion Formula for Fall 2013 As I type, New York City Fashion Week is full force, showing Spring 2014 collections! NYFW is where colors, beauty trends, and styles emerge, featuring what’s “in” and “out” for the coming season. That’s how it works: fashion is generally six months ahead of the retail schedule, retail meaning […]
Falling Forward The summer of 2013 unofficially came to an end last Labor Day weekend. Not long ago, I wrote a blog post at the beginning of summer. I can’t believe summer is over. Are you?

Last weekend, my husband, a few select friends, and I attended a black-tie dinner dance party like every Memorial Day weekend for the previous two decades. Who does that? The Club Twenty-One social group has been a part of a longstanding annual tradition for the last 20 years. My husband belongs to Club Twenty-One, which […]
