Birkenstocks have been around for decades, popular among the surfers, skaters and deadheads. I personally associated them with the Haight Ashbury, a part of SF I hardly visited. Mind you not because I didn’t want to, just the places I frequented were in South Beach, the Mission, Soma, and the Marina. I finally made myContinue reading “Paris Dispatch”

Summer In Europe
I’m wistful for being able to sit out on a patio sipping an Aperol Spritz. Wearing a summer dress and comfortable shoes, without a care in the world. Alas, nothing is planned yet, perhaps a trip into Santa Cruz would help, they do have wine tasting and whiskey tasting venues. I could order a sparklingContinue reading “Summer In Europe”

Tamera @feelingfrench is a woman after my own heart, she’s not afraid to mix high-and-low and makes everything look très chic. I plan on wearingContinue reading “Style Inspiration”
The Straw Bag
I haven’t purchased a straw bag yet. I can’t decide on a shoulder bag or a hand carry. The photos motivate me to get a shoulder bag, but the handle version is cute too. I also marvel at these women, who manage to always look chic and pulled together, I wonder sometimes if I lookContinue reading “The Straw Bag”
What Women Are Wearing Now
All of these women are stylish, inspiration for the rest of us. Ladies, it’s time to shop my closet. I’ve spent the last two years updating myself, and I start going back into the office on May 3rd. Grant it I’ll only be going in two days a week, for starters, then after August toContinue reading “What Women Are Wearing Now”
Thinking pink
I’ve had pink on the brain since my beautiful niece came into the world. My sisters and I continuously put her in pink, why, because she’s our little pink rose. My mother used to dress me in pink and for years I shied away from it. Now, I’m all into it. I still don’t haveContinue reading “Thinking pink”
Style From The Streets of Milan, New York & Copenhagen
I love everything about these stylish women. I’m tempted to add more sneakers to my growing collection, tempted to invest in another designer handbag. Wistful for a piece of leopard. If I had a mood board, these photos would be on it. Here’s to running around chic…..
What Have You Bought, Lately?
I’ve been adding pieces to my wardrobe, items I can wear with my leggings and boots. These are just a few of the additions to my closet. I did buy the top right blouse in white and another oversized black dress shirt from a brand called “Frankie”, plus a long sleeveless blazer that can beContinue reading “What Have You Bought, Lately?”
The Straw Bag
All last summer I was in search of the perfect straw bag for my summer dresses. I looked and I looked and could never find something I was really in-love with. I knew I wanted it to go over my shoulder, there were some nice fair-trade versions I’ve seen at the hardware store and Wholefoods,Continue reading “The Straw Bag”
It’s Still Cold Outside
I’m glad it’s still cold outside, it justifies my most recent purchase, a Faux Fur by Milano Furs. I first heard of this brand because of @Danividas. She posted an Insta-story where she was dressing, using this gorgeous fur gilet. I of course had to have one as well, but I ordered a black gilet,Continue reading “It’s Still Cold Outside”

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”
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 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”
The Ritz Paris Madeleines
Since the closed borders have changed the world’s behavior with travel, Europe might seem more difficult to reach than before the pandemic, many people had to cancel their Parisian travels and regretfully not being able to try the French favorite cake, the Madeleine at The Ritz, so I obliged. The Ritz is famous for manyContinue reading “The Ritz Paris Madeleines”
