As I type, New York City Fashion Week is in full force showing Spring 2014 collections! NYFW is where colors, beauty trends and styles emerge featuring what’s “in” and what’s “out” for the coming season. That’s how it works, fashion is generally six months ahead of the retail schedule, retail meaning when you can […]
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.
Falling Forward
The summer of 2013 unofficially came to end last Labor Day weekend. It was not that long ago I did a blog post on the beginning of summer. I can’t believe summer is over, you? Without even looking at the calendar, the local annual attractions remind me that’s it’s September. Locally one can celebrate an […]
Paris Revisited
What a difference a year makes! August 2012, I embarked on my first of many European vacations. I traveled to Paris, France with my daughter and her BFFs. So nice of them to include me, huh? We all mapped out our spaces and places we just had to experience. Our self-guided tours allowed us to […]
How Low Can you Go?
I mentioned in an earlier post about blood pressure being a silent killer. High cholesterol is another silent health risk that can be deadly. Do you have high cholesterol? According to a Center for Disease Control report more Americans are aware of their cholesterol levels, that’s great! Right? Then why do nearly 1/6 United States […]
Sugar Appeal
Has the system failed us? Do we need to make an appeal? About sugar, that is! The sugar verdict is frustrating and predictable if one doesn’t make their health and wellness matter. Last week’s blog post on sugar leads us to a further discussion about sugar or glucose in the body. Do you know your […]
The Verdict Is In: Sugar is Toxic
The verdict is in. And, we shouldn’t be surprised. Health campaigners have been talking about how bad sugar is for years. Sugar has been linked to obesity and suspected of, or fully implicated, as a cause in the occurrence of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, macular degeneration and tooth decay. The truth is processed […]
Summer, Summer, Summertime
Are we there yet? Yes, we are. As of June 21 at 5:04 AM, the summer solstice arrived in full swing, but not without a few false starts. Forecasts for this summer include unprecedented highs, according the Climate Prediction Center. All the indicators are there: poor air quality index, high pollen count, high temperature bands with […]
Battle of the Bulge
Are you a menopause victim? Is an expanding waistline considered the price of getting older? For women like myself, this can be true after menopause when body fat tends to shift to the abdomen. Not only does the fat around the middle age you, research shows that belly fat also carries serious health risks. What […]
Twenty-One
Last weekend my husband, a few select friends and I attended a black-tie dinner dance party like we do every Memorial Day weekend for the last two decades. Who does that? The Club Twenty-One social group does as a part of a long standing annual tradition for the last 20 years. Wearing: Teri Jon gown My […]
I Can See Clearly Now
Recently, I went to see Baz Luhrmann’s highly-anticipated adaptation of The Great Gatsby. I even re-read the book to reacquaint myself with the storyline and characters but the irony of needing 3-D glasses to appreciate the visual splendor was fascinating. And to be honest, a little confusing, do I wear the 3D glasses over my […]
