The Challenges of Fashion Blogging…over 60!

The Challenges of Fashion Blogging…over 60!

Sometimes I just laugh when I think of the double life I lead…high school teacher by weekday….fashion blogger all other times!  It truly is a dichotomy.  When I first began blogging, I was the headless horseman…showing outfits and ideas without seeing me.  I was coaxed out by other bloggers my age.  It has been so…

My Mini-Vacation at Saks Fifth Avenue!

My Mini-Vacation at Saks Fifth Avenue!

Yes!  I spent an entire day last week at Saks Fifth Avenue and it was refreshing and fun! I hosted two blogger events in store to introduce our local audiences to the one-of-a-kind skincare line IOMA-Paris, sold only in six Saks in the U.S. When you go from the high school hallways everyday, to the beauty…

Sunday Morning This and That!

Sunday Morning This and That!

So many kind words from yesterday’s post…thank you to all who stopped by to read. This morning I wanted to share some missing information from recent posts. My colorful flats were discovered two years ago at Garment Exchange, one of my favorite resale shops in San Antonio.  The fun necklace is another piece from Chicos…love all of…

OOTD: From Evening to Day, A Touch of Gold!

Hello, everyone…I so hope you are warmer this week!  We are back to typical South Texas, cold in the morning, warm in the afternoon…layers and trench coats work really well.

Party Fashion: What I Wore!

Last week, we joined a few thousand people for my husband’s company Christmas party! It was held in the Alamodome and the entertainment was, ZZ Top!  It was a freezing, windy night in San Antonio and while I saw many bare- legged- ladies in dresses, I just could not join them. Though my pictures are…

Chicos Shopping…A Sweet Surprise!

Chicos Shopping…A Sweet Surprise!

    Fatigue was pulling down every wrinkle around each eye as I sat  down at my desk that morning.  One restless night and a 5 AM  workout to follow became a deadly cocktail of emotional and  physical stress resulting in a rather down and out attitude to begin  my day.     Let the…

5 Ways to Feel Confident In Your Own Skin

Three years and 885 posts later, I have learned so much about myself and my own style since beginning to blog. I have experimented; stepped out of my comfort zone;and internalized what style books and other blogs say.  I have learned to enjoy how other women dress while understanding that their style is not necessarily…

Black & White…The Looks and the Talk!

Black & White…The Looks and the Talk!

My taste is pretty easy to see if you walk inside my closet…I love black and white…neutrals and prints! That hasn’t really changed much over the years, but if you walked inside my head…it would be a different story. I can remember a time, in my forties, when I would look in the mirror…say YUCK…and leave…
