The 4th of July Style Spirit is upon us, and I have no shortage. One of these days I will learn not to pack anything home! I arrive to see all sorts of perfect lake clothes including a plethora of red, white, and blue! The town of Spirit Lake, Idaho hosts a 4th of JulyContinue reading Style Story: 4th of July Style Spirit
Lace was The Fab 40s theme for this month of June. We’ve covered the color of the year, the jumpsuit trend plus the gingham trend, and now lace. In this one I think we are definitely all very different. That’s what’s so fun about this collaboration with Sheela, Dixie, Dawn Lucy, and Jane. We allContinue reading The Fab 40s in Lace
This was my first halter crop bikini top. I splurged but it was so worth it. This criss cross back is brilliant! Unfortunately now it’s only available in XS. I’ve found it: THE bikini for over 40. Now granted this post feels very gutsy on my part! I mean, I’m posting pictures of myself inContinue reading Style Story: THE Bikini for Over 40
That’s the official name of it: “Femoroacetabular Impingement.” Say what? My doc grabbed my phone here because he had a better shot–I was just pretty happy to have a textbook hip problem! My hip is hardly a fun topic to write about on this blog, but if you know me well, you know that myContinue reading Hip Update {On Wednesdays I Write}
It’s true: I was a Rebel in Arabia. Recently I was interviewed by a student since she was interested in the time that I had spend in Saudi Arabia. I love telling stories, and in talking with Rachel a ton of memories were sparked. Following is her lovely article about me–it actually brought tears toContinue reading Rebel in Arabia
The suit from this beach poncho post definitely needs replacing–that’s why I’m planning to take advantage of Shopbop’s super sale! Yesterday I did some (Internet–I must find what the term for this is….) window shopping on Shopbop’s major sale looking for updates to my LBD (little black dress). Well, then, I returned! There’s so muchContinue reading The Shopbop Sale Continues! And Shopbop Has Great Swimsuits–On Sale!
So many trends this spring to try, and the off the shoulder dress is yet another one. I had a summer back in college where I wore a lovely off the shoulder black top to work nightly. I was the hostess at a prominent restaurant in my hometown, and this black top was all things:Continue reading Off the Shoulder Dress
I’ve lost count on how many Style Stories I’ve written now–it might be over a dozen by now. This series started out because I wanted to clean out my closet. I have so many clothes! I get attached to them: almost every item in my wardrobe has some sort of story behind it. In theseContinue reading Style Story: #InStyleColor
Well….this past trip to Lijiang, China was absolutely fantastic! Don’t get me wrong. But in terms of being stylish, this is one of my least successful Style Stories. I thought I had packed well, but in the end I was just freezing most of the time, scraping together all my layers just to stay warm.Continue reading Style Story: I Lose All Style When Cold
We’re back to the beaches in Hong Kong. This past weekend was our first return; we went to Big Wave Bay. For this spring and summer my beach basics haven’t changed much. I’m still sportin’ denim cutoffs with a white top, but now I’m adding a couple of changes: rose gold sunnies, a frosty, nudeContinue reading Back to the Beach and My Five Beach Basics
Happy Spring! And happy brights! I think it’s official that we can now bust out our bright, cheery spring clothes. I did so this last weekend with a bright striped dress, shoes, sunnies and bag, plus matching yellow wall. Nothing like a little color to make one feel bright! (Including bright lips and bright eyes–IContinue reading Happy Brights! Happy Spring!
Patterns and texture were abundant in each one of my work outfits this past week. Lucky for me it was a four day work week. It has been interesting too look back on the outfits though and see tons of patterns and texture: checks with ribbons, sparkles with snake, lace with plaid, and lace withContinue reading Style Story 12: Patterns and Texture All Week Long
