Outfit of the Week

Hi! How are you?! I'm going to keep on writing because I realize that when I feel good doing something, it's important. I have been receiving many emails from companies saying, I know this is not the most important thing on your mind right now but... buy a new bed, lol, or how about some pajamas to wear while you work from home. Some of them are so beautifully written and heart felt. Real people talking about what they do, to me, who is on their list for correspondence. I sell clothing at vocabulary and accessories, and why I do...

Well this is unprecedented. When My husband gave me that word, I took a deep breath, at least I could begin to describe WHY I was having such big feelings, including major confusion and big fear. Since the remodeling of vocabulary began, and I've committed to follow my joy, I've heard myself saying often, well if it's not about the money, I want to... this feels amazing, I notice this, I LOVE this, I enjoy ...

How to cope with...

While this is not my favorite silhouette, I love this one, and it got me thinking about why I choose the pieces I do, for you. It's the details. Sometimes the fabric and the fit, sometimes the ruffle or trim, the neckline, the color, etc. We all have clothing in our closet that fits and functions. I've always focused on the why this version when I buy. So, I'm...

It's sooooooooo good! The sentiment may not be as chic in English, and I'm not sure which is better: this trench coat or our new wall color, but I know that I'm on the right path because everywhere I look I'm seeing stripes... my version of stars:) You know I have a fierce love of stripes and as we've been discussing, a Parisian Affinity, if you will. When Conni and I went out to shoot this photo for you, I laughed out loud at how many women that morning were dressed in stripes, boat necks, and red lips, and then we...
