A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
The last month of the year always prompts me to assess my personal and professional performance. By year’s end, I will complete my annual vision board, but for now, I’d like to do a year-end year here for the Age of Grace.
Though winter isn’t officially underway just yet, this weekend’s snowy forecast derailed my trip to New York City, causing me to miss the Birabiro jewelry trunk show and holiday party in Harlem on Saturday, December 9. My daughter, Channing, who lives in Harlem, went as my surrogate to take photos for this post and shop […]
I’m still reaping the benefits from my Chico’s New York City MeetUp in October. Among all the fabulous women who attended the event, I met Caytha Jentis. First, Caytha was a literary agent; then, in her early 40s, she changed gears and studied screenwriting. After meeting Caytha and hearing her story, I felt strongly about […]
Saturday, October 7, was my big day. For the last two months, I counted down to this momentous event: Chico’s NYC MeetUp.

Since my millennial Channing moved to this northern section of the New York City borough of Manhattan last year, I’ve explored the look and feel of this once central hub […]
The claim to fame for Napa Valley is exploring its nearly 400 wineries. And I can see why. Napa Valley’s climate creates the ideal location to grow wine grapes.
