A peek into my late-Summer color palette as of late will reveal a few things, but the most obvious is that I’m in the midst of a neutral Renaissance within my closet. Maybe I’m teetering on the edge of my own “Sad Beige” era, but I simply cannot stop scooping up pieces and accessories in […]
Something I get asked fairly often, especially in New England’s unpredictable weather and humidity during the Summer months- is how I keep my skin, hair and makeup looking fresh. As someone with a combination complexion and naturally curly and unruly hair- it’s not always easy- and I stress the need to develop a regimen of […]
When choosing a dress for a recent outing in The Berkshires where I met up with my dear friend Dan’s family for lunch and some shopping around Stockbridge, I wanted to be bright and bold for the occasion- but also comfortable!
