As like most of us, I have a Facebook page . Originally, I mostly posted photos of our dog, Bridget and now of Logan, but it's crucial to have a social media presence if you have any sort of of business. I don't need to go into detail about what has been going on over the last several months, but social media seems to only exaggerate the divide and derision in our Nation. I'll admit to being pulled into the fray myself and it has disrupted my psyche to an extent. That being s

"I love wearing soft, furry things. It's the closest I'll ever get to know what it's like to be a Golden Retriever." ~ denise shardlow If you could see all the photos we couldn't use due to the Golden Retriever head, butt or tail that was in the shot! I promised Logan on Day 30 that he'd be front and center. Fortunately, the weather cooperated and gave us snow so we could wear our matching furry Capelets. I figured it was such a great color for a redhead that Logan needed one

To everything there is a season.... I did not plan on this at all, but a few days ago, I wrote: "It's amazing how well this dress adapts to EVERY situation. I can be my hippy-dippy self... or I can look professional, formal, and even demur enough to wear to a funeral.This is a true classic, and in my humble opinion, a must-have for every woman's wardrobe!" It really got me thinking. Every person needs a go to outfit for funerals. When my mother passed away several years ago,

The river flows at its own sweet will, but the flood is bound in the two banks. If it were not thus bound, its freedom would be wasted. ~Vinoba Bhave I'm sure I'm not the only woman with a pile of scarves that sit in a drawer or on a closet shelf. I love fabric and am attracted to everything from heavy brocades to accordion pleats to the richest of velvets and the lightest of silks. After donning my Gold & Brown Brocade Scarf twice over the iconic KOKOON Farrah Wrao Dress, I

"To infinity and beyond..." ~Buzz Lightyear When I started this 27 days ago, it felt very abstract, much like infinity itself, but now that I'm nearing the end, I'm coming up with some fresh ideas. Who would have thunk! As I already shared with you, Mariano Fortuny has been my favorite designer since I was a Fashion student all those years ago, so when ever I see anything with tight accordian pleats, I have to buy it. I saw this piece in the remnant bin at the fabric store on

When I was a little girl and I wasn't feeling well, my mother could always tell by my eyes. I've been fighting a cold/flu the past few days, but the show must go on. I am too close to the end to stop now! Rather than taking a day off, I've been wearing dark glasses so I could get away without wearing mascara for the past 3 days. This is pretty much the same silhouette as Day 14: Gilding the Lily, but the striped lace gives it a totally different and more day time, work approp

"Make it simple, yet significant" ~Don Draper I'm surprised it took me this long to wear the dress with a blouse underneath: perfect for any board room or office. For those of you with the KOKOON Farrah Wrap Dress in black, you can team this up with almost any color or pattern. Right now, I'm visualizing it with a black & white print: stunning. I'm wearing the Brown Wrap dress with KOKOON's Milly Blouse in Rusty Nail. I love how the sleeves add volume at the cuff. I posted
