A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Yesterday, I embarked on my first-ever Women’s Half-Marathon in Washington, D.C (#WeRunDC, ha!). I’ve never been the most athletic, so what would possess me to challenge myself physically–and to such extremes? Perhaps it was the alarming statistic that “4 out of 5 African American women are obese or overweight.” The Nike Women’s Half-Marathon started with our […]
Wearing: J.Crew Navy Jacket, J.Crew White Peplum top, Pim & Larkin Necklace, J.Crew Blue Minnie Pant and J.Crew Canvas and Leather Shoes Sitting in that office chair non-stop or driving around in that car all day could be killing you.

Women were sophisticated and beacons of elegance with their handbags, gloves and hats in their matching ensembles. When I attended a […]
Last week, I was fascinated by the rite, ritual and tradition used by the Catholic Church in Vatican City used to inform everyone of the selection of the new pope. On the first day of the conclave, the cardinal-electors assemble in St. Peter’s Basilica to attend morning Mass. In the afternoon, the 115 cardinals gathered […]
Wearing: Kate Spade New York Necklace, Kate Spade New York Quilted Jacket, Kate Spade New York “Licorice” Suede Pumps Spring doesn’t start for another 10 days, but the warm weather this weekend made it seem even closer.

Today’s post is inspired by many of the ladies that I invited to my Stella & Dot Jewelry Trunk Show who were unfamiliar with the name. Only 2/10 women have heard of this company according to my Stella & Dot Stylist, Lisa Cary Morela. Last week I told you that I am doing my first […]
I am devoting today’s post to “Slim Dressing.” I am having a moment….a fat moment. Actually, who am I kidding? This is more than a moment. I’ve felt this way since the beginning of the year.
