YOU HAD ME AT YELLOW

04/10/2018

If I had a dollar for every time I texted one of my friends “I’m wearing a really aggressive pair of pants” before meeting up, I’d be (to quote my friend Danielle who usually is on the receiving end of these texts) “a thousandaire.” I’m a big believe in the life’s too short to wear boring clothes, mantra. This, coming from a woman who as a child, used to wear Stride Rite tennis shoes in two different colors to match my outfit, is not surprising.I once took a color psychology class in college- yes, that…

The idea of telling someone that they’re behind in life because they haven’t picked a signature fragrance by their 25th Birthday, or haven’t invested in an expensive arm chair by their 30th, has always…

PLEATS AND THANK YOU

There aren’t many things that I will voluntarily wake up for on a weekend before 10 a.m., but an opportunity to romp around and brunch at Assembly Row (when it’s warm enough in February to not wear tights) with some gal pals is absolutely one of them. Especially when there was a time not that long ago that I didn’t have very many folks to do that with. Moving to a new city will do that to you!As a self-proclaimed people collector, I have a gaggle of friends. In fact, my tribe is one…

VALENTINE’S DAY IN VELVET

If you were born in the 80’s, you probably have a family/school/holiday photo of the childhood version of yourself in some sort of velvet get-up (complete with a matching hair bow, if you’re me). And due to the trauma of living through this trend (thanks, Mom!) it took me almost 30 years to finally give velvet a go a second time. And my oh my, what I’ve missed.Long gone are the days of stuffy/stretchy velvet pieces that make you so sweaty you can’t actually enjoy yourself. Hello to flowy details, off…

A PLEDGE FOR 2018

Hello, old friends! I hope you all had an amazing holiday. After a much needed break, complete with some serious unplugging, a lot of movies, and a week long vacation in the Caribbean (more on that later!) it’s really good to see you all again.2017 was definitely a year for the books, though I’ve yet to determine what category to file that book under. I think we can all agree that this past year tried our patience and challenged our acceptance of the social, cultural and political climate around us. Was it rocky? Heck yes. But it…

WITH LOVE, PEACH

If it looks like activewear, feels like activewear, and wears like activewear…. it’s probably activewear. But what happens when it’s also made out of satin and velvet and is inspired by rich colors and Parisian architecture? If you’re me, you make an outfit with your best pair of heels & a statement necklace, and you go somewhere fabulous. Who doesn’t want to go to a party in their PJs?I recently discovered Peach, a brand that designs contemporary fashion for gym, work, and play, and immediately fell in love. What separates Peach from other athletic wear…
