Goodbye 2016

…and good riddance.

i’ve been thinking about an antidote for all of the ills of the past year and grappling with a solution. one thing’s for sure — i’ve no control over all that’s out there — i’ve only control over me and my reaction to all that’s out there. with this in mind i’ve decided for 2017 and moving forward…to be the best version of me possible:

channel my inner kindness

channel my inner athlete

and let’s not be so pedestrian as to wait till january 1st to begin. there’s no time like the present. so let’s get a jump start on the competition. start today. right now in fact. looking and feeling and doing your best is the best revenge…

Necklace – Irene Neuwirth

…tis a pity no one ever invites me to the academy awards, grammys, tonys, or emmys. if they did, i’d totally rock this irene neuwirth necklace. it says, “i am a playful force to be reckoned with.”

genius.

on bare skin, to show off my clavicle to its best effect. or maybe on a white tee shirt. i wouldn’t want anyone to think i was trying too hard.

i await my invite…

 i once ran into her in the most mundane of places…neiman marcus.

ms. yaeger marches to her own fashion drummer. she is unique. and what could possibly be more chic?

Stella Jean

haitian-italian fashion designer stella jean (pronounced john) is making me re-think my basic black monochromatic world. there is nary a print in my wardrobe, but the chic ms. jean gives me cause for reconsideration.

i first noticed her two years ago, but this spring i may finally take the plunge. a colorful cultural-inspired print skirt teamed with a–carolina herrara inspired–white shirt. basta!
