What I Wore This Week (No. 135)

If you follow me on Insta, you probably know that our Thanksgiving plans got completely derailed due to sickness. When does it end, right? Honestly, with three kids and everything from RSV and Covid to Pink Eye going around, it feels like we just can’t catch a break, right? I keep reading about how moms are at their limit as we try to navigate an already precarious childcare situation and work…

Black Dale Shirt

  The one thing I’ve been grateful for every day of this lockdown has been the weather. Nine times out of ten the sky has been a forget-me-not blue, possibly bluer, with each passing day as the urban pollution has cleared.  It’s had an effect, not only on all our moods, but also on  the garden that has now burst into acid green, waving fronds and baby buds.  It feels we are in early summer…

End of Season Sale Finds That You Can Wear Now and Again Next Winter

I am not even gonna say how sick of winter I am because I say it to you just about every day and complaining about it isn’t going to magically bring on the spring temps and flowers. Plus, it is slowly but surely starting to warm up and we’re getting the occasional glimpse into spring, like on my birthdaywhen the temps almost reached 70 and we had this one glorious peak at spring (the hubs and I…

What I Wore This Week (No. 39)

This has been the longest week ever. Did I mention it’s my birthday week? I love birthdays (mine is March 15) and normally I do something dramatic like draw it out over the entire week and dub it “birthday week” forcing my poor husband and friends to celebrate all week. But this week was so crazy with some major work projects and catching James’ flu at the start that I almost forgot so I guess…

Back to the Grind

After an amazing ski vacation in Park City, we are back in the city and time to go back to the grind. It’s always hard getting dressed the first day after a vacation. You want to look refreshed and polished, but you’re also used to wearing comfy clothes and let’s face it, is anyone really psyched to go back to the office, especially when more winter is ahead? I like to step up my look on the…

What I Wore This Week (No. 22)

I know I’ve said this a million times recently, but I just cannot believe that summer is pretty nearly over. Where did time go? Anyway, I’ve been taking advantage of these final days to wear all my super summery stuff, but it’s already starting to feel wrong when all of NYC/the world has decided that it’s fall and are dressing like so. This week was filled with a crazy lineup of meetings and…

What I Wore This Week (No. 13)

God, this was a loooonnng week. I think coming off the Easter festivities and then the return of winter and so much craziness at work just took its toll on me. I am exhausted. I started off the week though dressing for spring, and then ended it bundled for winter, as happens when the universe has ordered you to eternal winter damnation. I still managed to squeeze in a few new spring/transitional…
