Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay

Cue the choir of angels. I’ve done it. I’ve found a strapless bikini top that I can actually wear. I’ve searched for one for eons, decades, forever now. And they just don’t work with my build (or lack there of). But this one stays put. And it’s cute. Really cute. Obsessed-with-the-color cute. I now no [...]

Playing Dress Up

I stumbled upon this quote on Pinterest the other day. And to prove how true it is, I played dress-up with my almost five year old. She in her version of dress up and me in mine—an amazing dress from Jezebel in Fort Lauderdale. I found it a few years back on a vintage expedition [...]

Huh? Supper Club Attire?

I was thrilled when friends invited hubby and me to the YoungArts gala this past weekend. But when the invite said “supper club attire,” I scratched my head, raised and brow and said, “What on God’s green earth does that mean?” Black tie? Cocktail attire? Semi-formal?
