According to Wikipedia “Palazzo pants are long women's pants cut with a loose, extremely wide leg that flares out from the waist”. “Culottes are an item of clothing worn on the ...

Over 50 Fashion-J Crew Eyelet Shirt

As I said in my last fashion post, I don't think I am going to be going anywhere this summer other than our lake house. Even though we are all dying to wear something nice, to ...

Anthro is having 25% off on everything Mary Ann Kim and I were just there last week getting into trouble. J Crew is having 40% off cozy essentials (which I figured was not much), but it turns out sweaters, boots and outerwear are included. This is a great time to do some early Christmas shopping (or for yourself) while there are still so many options. I didn't have any time to ...
