“Fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it.” Vogue Magazine
Okay, we have been in a leggings mode for a long time. I think they could now be called an “essential” element of a wardrobe. The looks run the gamut from fresh out of the gym to streetwear, leaning toward a very casual look – a hoodie, an oversized sweater,…
“Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.” Alfred, Lord Tennyson
I don’t remember the year it all began. It probably began over a glass of wine or a broken heart. The two seem to be a perfect match for one another!

“Keep reading. It’s one of the most marvelous adventures that anyone can have.” Lloyd Alexander
Well, I’ve been a little lax in my reading. It seems that my reading habits mark me as “an all-or-nothing” kind of gal. It’s true. I will devour book after book, especially if there is a series of books. I just confirmed this by reading two of the three Jake Tapper…
A feather from an Angel wing, softer than cashmere, drifted down from above… Jeannette B. Noonan
