This question has been asked of me countless times. If you read my bio on this website, you’ll see that I was even asked this when I was a young girl and everyone was wearing jeans every day of their lives. I like pants and I like jeans, too. And, I do wear them [...]
From clothing to paintings to jewelry, I have done it all myself. I was first inspired to paint when I realized I could not afford to purchase art that I liked for my apartment after college. I have taken a couple of oil painting classes — and could definitely use more instruction — but deciding to [...]
I have always loved thigh- high boots and own a couple of pairs already. One pair I bought on sale from Neimans a couple of years ago – Christian Diors – that are fabulous, motorcycle/cowboy style boots with a great heel in a deep saddle color. I was thrilled to find that Victoria’s Secret [...]
My fall and winter shoe wardrobe is fairly substantial. I have black boots, brown boots, low-heeled boots, high-heeled, thigh high and platform. So, unless I need to replace an old pair or I happen upon something really fantastic, I try to save my money for other items. I did in fact find [...]
What is wrong with the following statements?: “I spend all my money on my kids — there’s nothing that I need or want.” “I don’t care what I wear anymore and neither does anyone else.” “My husband (or wife) couldn’t care less what I wear or how I look. He/She loves me for other, more [...]

It’s what a grown-up woman wants to wear. If clothing can make someone look more intelligent, [...]
I am seeing many great pieces from Theory this season. Just simple, easy to wear dresses and sweaters, blouses and, of course, suits. Theory is made to look good on a variety of women. If you’re curvy on the bottom, check out their a-lines. If you aren’t so big in the rear, their straighter silouhettes [...]
Here’s a listing of some websites that I’ve enjoyed recently. I have not made purchases at all of them but I’ve found clothes and/or accessories that I like and recommend these sites for good fashion viewing: styledrops.com – Prada shoes and purses, and other major fashion labels, as well. Lots of sizes in the shoes! [...]
Anna Sui’s fall 2008 collection is a beautiful cornucopia of influences, color and bohemian chicness. To some, it may appear over the top. But separate out the pieces and simplify the dresses with black tights and shoes, take off the headpieces and you have funky, beautiful and wearable, for sure. I loved almost everything on [...]
