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”
The Epitome of Modern Style
What is style? It starts off with embracing yourself, your body and loving yourself regardless of your weight. Then you add wearing pieces you love, and investing in quality basics, a nice handbag, a coat, sunglasses and some Jewlery and a nice pair of shoes. I used to think that one should not wear moreContinue reading “The Epitome of Modern Style”
It’s All About Hosiery
Before the pandemic began, two years ago I had seen a photo of a woman wearing converse with fishnet stockings for socks. I became enamored and immediately ordered a new pair of converse and fishnet stockings. Which I have not been able to wear yet. I love everything about the photo above, love the texture,Continue reading “It’s All About Hosiery”

The Camille Ballerinas
Now I know what my wardrobe is missing, it’s missing a pair of Camille ballerinas by Repetto. I love this woman’s style. It’s modern, yet classic and timeless. My wish list has expanded, in order to do justice one would need a neutral, black and a beautiful red. There is a gorgeous pink too! Here’sContinue reading “The Camille Ballerinas”
The Chiffon Scarf
My old 1030’s movie watching has begun now that fall is in the air. I started with The Holiday, starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant (yes, my crush on Cary Grant continues). The first thing I noticed, besides how dashing Mr. Grant was, and that the dialog and delivery were magnificent, was Katherine Hepburn’s eveningContinue reading “The Chiffon Scarf”
My Current Wishlist
It’s good to always have a Wishlist. Of course mine includes travel, well-being and mental health. Alas, I am susceptible to emails that include really good marketing gimmicks. Like the email blast from Cuyana that mentions this beautiful Alpaca reversible cape. I imagine myself wearing it, walking around Paris or New York, wearing over aContinue reading “My Current Wishlist”
Layering Up this Fall
The chill factor has officially set in today, it’s windy and cold. I had on a sweater for my morning walk this morning with the idea that I would eventually have to take it off once the walking was underway. No chance of that happening, it stayed cold and windy, even with the speed walking.Continue reading “Layering Up this Fall”
A Case For The Suede Handbag
It’s been a long time since I’ve admired suede handbags. But now, recently as of this morning, I am thinking about an unstructured suede handbag in a color that isn’t black. I mean, I know Mr. Santos and he can fix anything, so if I over wear it, he can make it come back toContinue reading “A Case For The Suede Handbag”
The Fall Coat
The fall coat is a basic essential that can elevate basic casual attire and conceal wardrobe sins. By wardrobe sins I mean concealing old beat up sweat pants, faded shirts past their prime and rolling out of bed to go out on a coffee run. Here we see Naomi Watts taking her dog out forContinue reading “The Fall Coat”
An Exciting Collection
I agonized over which new Basquiat Converse to order, I could eventually have them all, the price point is affordable, but I have a hard enough time wearing the sneakers I already own. However one can’t go wrong with either of the choices, they will all make an all black assemble pop. I ended upContinue reading “An Exciting Collection”
Fall Wardrobe Additions
Well it’s officially the first day of fall. I recently purchased a new fall coat I plan on wearing today, running errands in the city requires a more urban feel than the kaftans I’ve been wearing. I have plenty of outerwear but I like updating my wardrobe, there are always new pieces one can addContinue reading “Fall Wardrobe Additions”
