Last year, I joined the wonderful women from Is This Mutton, MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Grownup Glamour, and Frugal Fashion Shopper for a global writing challenge.

OK, that may be stretching it, but I was trying to come up with some kind of dramatic comparison! Anyhoo, don’t give away your more tailored and traditional …
Spring trends 2024… There have been many blog posts and articles about the Spring trends for 2024. I’m not reinventing any wheels here, my friends, but I thought I’d give you my take on one of the Spring trends for this year. As many of you know, skinny jeans are considered out. I was never …
Salazar chose not to pick a single piece of art this week. Instead, she has selected the wood sculptures/carvings of Giles Newman. That’s right!
