Under the Radar Ways to Style a Blazer Over 50
This month for our over 50 Fashion Edit Jennifer and I are discussing blazers. Most of our closets can be divided into two categories "statement pieces" and the indispensable items we wear all the time. Blazers are big this year and I can understand why. They are so versatile. Do you look at your blazers and think office ? Have you rarely worn them since covid? I know many of you are no longer working or you are working from home.

How to Wear Combat Boots over 50
Today I am joining my friend Brenda from 1010 Park Place to chat about Combat Boots. I am sure this topic will be a hot one! I know you ladies will either love them or hate them.

Ageless Style Kelly Grace Swift
I popped into our local Anthropologie recently and spotted this cute bubbly blonde. She asked if I needed any help. As usual, I was in a big hurry to grab a few things for a photo shoot. I thought to myself oh no she is one of those annoying well-intentioned salespeople who keep bringing me things to try on when I don't have much time. I explained to her that I was a blogger and time was at a premium. She obviously checked out the blog. The next time I came in (also in a hurry), she quickly ...

My Affair with Ralph Lauren
I have had an "affair" with Ralph Lauren for as long as I can remember. His designs are best described by Elle Decor as "one part Western cowboy, one part lord and lady of the manor, and one part Carole Lombard in My Man Godfrey". They are quintessentially American, they are timeless, and they hold their value. The affair began in the 80's. We were building a home ourselves with two small children. There was not a lot of extra money for designer clothing. Anything I picked up came from ...
