At 41, I sometimes find myself looking for a miracle in a bottle.  The concealer that will hide the under-eye darkness that comes with having a very active 10-month old.  The serum that will hydrate and smooth a face with decades of acne damage.  The body cream that will hydrate skin that can no longer […]

How was your weekend?  Mine was eventful. My daughter recovered from her first cold just in time to teach herself how to stand.  She also moves like lightning, so the dogs are on red alert, and my nerves are frayed.  So why don’t we dip into the mail bag and take a rest?

Easy dresses, particularly easy work dresses, are becoming tough to find.  Everything has cutouts.  So many cutouts.  And even when a dress doesn’t have cutouts there’s a large, exposed zipper or a too-deep v-neck or a slit up to there.  All I want is a dress I can wear to work on Monday without thinking […]

A strong work wardrobe filled with basic separates — blouses, pants and skirts in black, navy and ivory.  But how do you keep basics from becoming humdrum?  You pair them with cool blazers.  Here are four styles that caught my eye.

Back by overwhelming demand — or at least Abra told me there was demand in order to get me to write this — welcome to Kyle’s Gift Guide 2023. (Yeah, I really had to twist his arm. *eyeroll*) I’ve spent a few days reviewing the other gift guides and it appears many influencers still don’t […]
