I’ve been addicted to sneakers, I think I have 6 new pairs since the pandemic started, and over half are still in boxes. Wearing slippers around the house for the first 4 months of the pandemic played havoc with my feet. I have sneakers branded on my brain and these are the latest from Nike,Continue reading “The Sneaker of the Moment”

The Other Sneaker
I am thrilled I bought my Nike Women’s Air Zoom Pegasus sneakers last year, not only are they comfortable, but chic too. To be strolling around Paris, window shopping or running around the Musée d’Orsay, it’s my favorite Museum in Paris. I’m wistful, dreaming of travel. I either buy my sneakers at Carbon38 or Bandier,Continue reading “The Other Sneaker”
The Long Dress
Summer is fast approaching, and I’ve been buying dresses for my Maui vacation. I started buying dresses since last summer to be honest, so that I can wear them with leggings/tights and my booties. But we have been stuck-at-home and they are all stored away in my closet. My summer dresses are black or oliveContinue reading “The Long Dress”
Style Profile: Christa D’Souza, Journalist, London, England
I have several Icons, but they are not fashion related, what I find iconic is a good journalist, and Christa needs no introduction, if you’re into beauty, fashion, and wellness then you know who she is. I look forward to reading her articles in British Vogue, W Magazine and especially enjoyed her articles for Net-a-Porter.Continue reading “Style Profile: Christa D’Souza, Journalist, London, England”
The Summer Hat
Let’s face it, we are all dreaming of summer vacations, dreaming of beaches, out in the sun where we can watch the ocean waves crash against the rocks, leaving our masks behind. My sister and I are planning our September vacation, Maui is our destination with summer hats on our minds. I ordered a blackContinue reading “The Summer Hat”
The Controversial Sneaker
Some people are boycotting New Balance over misinformation, New Balance does not support bigotry, racism or hate in any form, yet people believe that because New Balance donated money to the Trump Campaign, that they must support hate in all it’s forms. All companies donate money to both Democrats and Republican’s, New Balance is notContinue reading “The Controversial Sneaker”
Made in Paris during Confinement: “La Pluie Paris” Soy Handcrafted Scented Candles
Paris is still on confinement, and since the distribution of the vaccine is so slow, businesses are still closed in Paris and all of France, so on social media as I was searching for new local scented candles, I came across Yagmur Erester Kozimor… She is a recent Parisienne who moved from Turkey with herContinue reading “Made in Paris during Confinement: “La Pluie Paris” Soy Handcrafted Scented Candles”
Night-Table Reading
I’ve started reading various books, ordered some and haven’t finished anything I’ve started, but my intention is to read at least 10 books this year. I ordered the Joan Didion because someone once said that if you haven’t read Joan Didion that they wouldn’t want to talk to you. The Ghost Stories of M.R. JamesContinue reading “Night-Table Reading”
Adult Hair Accessories
Wearing a banana clip has been considered the worst of the 80’s, and wearing a bow is considered to be too girlie, but ladies wearing a hair clip from Alexandre de Paris or The Bow from Ella Gorbo is like accepting the scrunchie from Slip. I literally run around in my Slip scrunchie, and ownContinue reading “Adult Hair Accessories”
The Universal Sneaker
Over the past weekend I was at the Ferry Building, picking up oysters from Hog Oyster Island, hotdogs from Golden Gate, and hotdog buns at ACME. I was outside, taking in the view of my city when I saw her, she was an older lady on vacation, she was wearing an oversized coat, big sunglassesContinue reading “The Universal Sneaker”
Smart Beauty
Smart beauty isn’t just about fancy devices that give the skin a jolt of Nanocurrent energy. Smart beauty also means you’re using tools that aide the skin, in all aspects. Here are a few of my favorites. Surratt in my opinion makes the best eyelash curler, it gets the curl right on your first tryContinue reading “Smart Beauty”

I had the opportunity to be part of a Champagne tasting class, and I had the most fun, it was virtual but it felt like Melissa was in the room with you, not only teaching me about Champagne, but about how to pair specific wines, sparkling’s you name it. It was like a party, theContinue reading “Style Profile: Melissa L. Smith, Founder of Enotrias Elite Sommelier Services and Sky Somm”
Parisian Trench
Trench coats are a Parisian staple, not just because they are cool to wear but because they protect you from the weather. I remember noticing the trench coat on Humphrey Bogart in the film Casablanca as he goes off into the night, well covered in his lightweight long coat…the Trench coat. Although Burberry of LondonContinue reading “Parisian Trench”
Life Imitates Art
I love discovering art where we can identify with the clothing, not that the classics are not enjoyable to view too. I just love art, if I could do it all over again, a museum curator would be an option, besides being a magazine editor. It’s nice to know that the crisp white shirt hasContinue reading “Life Imitates Art”
Parisian Profile: Sergio Corvacho- Make-Up Artist YouTuber/Producer
Thanks to the latest Parisian confinement, we aren’t getting around too much in Paris, and Parisians decide if they’d rather go to their country homes or stay in the city, so thanks to fashion week, I was able to catch Sergio Corvacho in Paris before he jets-off nationally by train or car to the SouthContinue reading “Parisian Profile: Sergio Corvacho- Make-Up Artist YouTuber/Producer”
