I’ve been there and done that and it’s not worth it. Oh, don’t feel bad for me, it’s fine, I am on the rightContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Gifts to Yourself”

When Art Meets Fashion

These gorgeous paintings were painted by Julian Cardinal, an artist who paints with oils. His works can be found online or at Kiley Court Gallery, in Provincetown, MA. Everything he paints is beautiful, from landscapes to flowers and figures. Love the fashion depicted in his paintings, so fresh and chic. Here’s to running around chic…..

Paris Fashion Week

My first time in Paris was Paris Fasion week, but my sisters and I were oblivious to that fact until they saw Lucy Liu walking down the street. My sister and I had dinner at Budda Bar that evening and saw a table full of women that looked familiar and only after the fact weContinue reading “Paris Fashion Week”

Detoxing and Eliminating Bloat

I haven’t tried this brand yet, but I went ahead and ordered the Detox Drops anyway. Chlorophyllin helps with glowing skin too, so I am excited because beauty does come from within. I am not going to get into the scientific aspects of this brand, but you can read here for more information. You areContinue reading “Detoxing and Eliminating Bloat”

Getting Organized

One of my goals is to get organized, to detox and to be organized. I want the life I had before the pandemic, where I had a sense of order. It didn’t feel like it at the time, but now in hindsight I was more organized. In order to help myself I purchased a dailyContinue reading “Getting Organized”

Night-Table Reading

I pre-ordered “Happy Days” and can’t wait to read it. I usually buy all of Gabby’s books on audio but felt that I couldn’t wait, but alas, I am still waiting. I’ve been watching my Korean K-Dramas lately, since they are subtitled, I am getting some reading in, although I know that doesn’t count. LastContinue reading “Night-Table Reading”

Beauty Items in My Stocking

I know I haven’t really been posting about skincare or makeup lately. I’ve been more interested in clothing, in making sure my wardrobe has what it needs to re-enter society. Then I remembered the two beauty products I did receive this past Christmas. I love the Dior Lip Glow, I have it in Pink andContinue reading “Beauty Items in My Stocking”

It’s The Earrings

Net-a-Porter is having an additional 20% off of a 60% off sale. I’ve been looking for a pair of statement earrings and can picture myself wearing these beauties with a sweater or a white dress shirt and jeans. The picture below had me inspired and wistful for a pair that wasn’t only stunning but budgetContinue reading “It’s The Earrings”

Winter in Paris

I’ve only been to Paris twice in my life, my first time was in the winter. Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, with the pinks, greys, the hues of the city are enchanting. I love people watching, next time I plan to sit at Cafe d’Flore and people watch all-day. Maybe getContinue reading “Winter in Paris”

Wardrobe Refresh Part 2

I’ve been preparing for the end of the pandemic for the last two years. I have everything I need to re-enter society. But it seems that I have grown quite lazy. I had a grooming routine going on for decades that abruptly came to a halt and now it’s having to get used to itContinue reading “Wardrobe Refresh Part 2”

The Striped Sweater

Ladies, this is the correct way to wear a striped sweater, everything about this photo is chic, pulled together and comfortable. You can wear a striped sweater with denim, tapered sweat pants, and even a skirt. I recently started buying sweaters again, it’s been really cold out lately and purchased a striped sweater from ZaraContinue reading “The Striped Sweater”

I hope everyone had a nice Holiday Season. In the middle of another Covid outbreak it was difficult to meet with all of our friends, but overall the season was enjoyable. I picked up a few items to help refresh my wardrobe. Anine Bing is having a sale and I ended up picking up threeContinue reading “Wardrobe Refresh”

Oh, A Rivière

I’ve had my eye on rivière necklaces for years now, I really don’t want to invest in a piece of Jewelry that I feel I wouldn’t wear often. It would be something that I would wear on occasion, my personality would feel it wasn’t right for my actual day job, although maybe it would be.Continue reading “Oh, A Rivière”

Oh, Plaid

I was in Chicago over the past weekend and couldn’t help but notice that Plaid was strong in Chicago. I must have seen 5 different women wearing plaid with their designer bags and shoes walking up and down E Oak Street. E Oak Street is the fashionable street of Chicago, like Dearborn Street is toContinue reading “Oh, Plaid”

A Chicago Christmas

Usually my sister’s and I plan a trip to NYC the week before Christmas. But it’s been two years since I’ve been to NYC, and this year to change things up a bit we took a weekend trip to Chicago. Can I just say that I fell-in-love with Chicago. It’s like a mini NYC, MichiganContinue reading “A Chicago Christmas”
