Yes, definitely! When I dress for work, [...]
As important as the jewelry we wear is how we store our pieces. For the longest time (read: nine years), I used a jewelry box that I purchased at the Peters Street Urban Outfitters when I took my little sister there for her eighteenth birthday. Along with an outfit for her (a graphic tee and [...]
read part I... read part II... What is better than a wrap waist sequin skirt? Have you ever heard of an elastic waist sequin skirt? Because I found another one and I am here for it! My husband once advised me not to pack anything with a static waistband (meaning anything but an elastic waistband) [...]
"The end of the year is full of excitement. Late Christmas parties, Ugly Sweater shindigs, workplace potlucks, and New Years Eve soirees packed into the last two weeks of the year. It is enough to make even the most outgoing social butterfly want to stay home. If you’re asked to bring a dish to any [...]
last read... Does anyone else watch Hollywood Darlings? I cannot recall how I stumbled upon it two summers ago...or was it last spring? Regardless, it is a sitcom in which three former child actresses portray exaggerated versions of themselves in the vein of James van der Beek in Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23. [...]
for part I... While my husband and I were in the Poconos staying at Ledges Hotel, we also toured the other two hotels in the Settlers Hospitality portfolio: Settlers Inn and Silver Birches Resort. Both of them have a decidedly different personality than that of Ledges Hotel. All of the hotels are members of the [...]
Merry Christmas gang! A happy and safe holiday to you and yours from the Lucindervention team (i.e. my husband and myself). Since the year 2008, I have sent out hand written holiday greetings, personalized to each person in my address book...until this year. Confession: I am embarrassed to share that I did not get as [...]
I just finished watching my favorite holiday movie, Trading Places, when I was inspired to put together this outfit. The girlfriend of one of the main characters, as portrayed by Kristin Holby and Dan Aykroyd respectively, has the most preppy, Brooks Brothers-laden wardrobe that would cause even season one Blair Waldorf to turn green in [...]
Walking around neighborhoods and admiring the holiday decorations is the urban equivalent to driving around neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights. I grew up in a family in which tradition dictated after dinner at the local fine dining steak and seafood restaurant, we piled into the Ford Explorer and oohed and ahhed at the lights. Tradition [...]
read part I... What might be better than the sequin skirt in the acid colors from yesterday's post? Please allow me to introduce you to the paillette skirt. It always blows my mind that so many people do not seem to know about the superior cousin of the common spangle, the sequin. Larger in size, [...]
I saw this spangled skirt earlier in the season in the jade (center, below) and acid pink (far left). While I love a sequin, lately I find them difficult to wear in different ways. As I am in the office five days out of the week, and upwards of ten hours a day, I do [...]
"Inspiration for a dish can come at unexpected times. Menu changes and planning at the restaurant are some of the most difficult challenges I face in my profession. I need my books, notebooks, a cup of coffee ,and plenty of time to dream of interesting flavor combinations or of a way to put an imaginative [...]
