Is it just me or does the maxi dress never die? I swear this is the at least the fifth summer in a row the darn thing is on trend. That’s practically unheard of. At first I was a little bored of the idea and after last summer I am totally over the hi/lo or mullet version. Yet, since I [...]

I buy rash guards and sun protection clothing for my children, but why haven’t I for myself? Well frankly, I find the clothes rather ugly. At least I did until now. I have been noticing some noteworthy advances when it comes to style combined with sun safety. I expect it will only get better. Look for items that have a [...]

I’ve always worn espadrilles. OK, off and on since 7th grade. I remember my first pair were a navy low-wedge pair from Pappagallo. I was literally too cool for school.

Short rompers are a summer staple no-brainer, especially for those who are not the most creative at styling their own look. Simply toss on a short [...]

Got something to say? Feel like getting graphic? Well FINALLY here is a t-shirt trend I know I  can sink my teeth into. I have always been obsessed with black and white and am thrilled it’s now everywhere, including t-shirts. I’m too old to wear a Mickey Mouse tee, have never been a total black concert t-shirt kinda gal and [...]
