The Color of Royalty
When Karla of Karla’s Closet modeled her peach American Apparel skirt recently, this anonymous comment made me laugh out loud: Oh how glad I am you didn’t choose the purple Barney-esque color. I think a lot of your style originality comes from the fact that you can wear just about any brand (I even dare…

My gorgeous husband MrB (sometimes known as Paul) turns 66 years young today! There’s a famous song about former highway Route 66 I am definitely married to the right 66-year-old Paul.

Crew’s Distressed Vintage Slim jeans are $135. Not a Forever 21 price, to be sure, but less expensive than the premium brands. Buy them here…
Hairy Noon and Night
