A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
It’s the middle of September, which means it’s time to celebrate my birthday. Luckily for me, MeltSpa by Hershey officially opened on September 12—just in time for my daughter and me to enjoy the sweet day spa. My millennial is a fashion news writer at Refinery29 and just finished covering New York Fashion Week. I am […]
The cooler temperatures are here, and the smack dab is in the middle of hurricane season. Hurricane Irma is rearing up her ugly head on the Florida coastline, and I’m praying for everyone’s safety.

I don’t need to explain Anna Wintour, the everlasting doyenne at the high fashion Vogue magazine, but I will. She rules attendance at the annual Met Gala. The formidable […]
