Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It has been probably since I was about 5 years old. Each year we would visit my grandmother in NYC and chow on delicious Puerto Rican food and the best damn turkey ever cooked. (I’m still working on that). So needless to say, hosting for my family has been a HUGE honor and something I look forward to all year.
It doesn’t get more basic than a white tee and jeans. Don’t confuse basic for boring. I’m not sure how or why that happens, maybe because often times people forget the most important part of wearing a basic look… accessories and visual interest. I remember once with a client, she was looking for a formal dress but wanted it to be ‘different’ and ‘flashy’. My advice to her was, a well fitting simple black dress is more stunning than something with 3-D adornments. What I’m saying here is that your look doesn’t have to be all flashy to be amazing.
A few weeks ago my family and I went kayaking and while we were driving, it occurred to me that I really like farms. I know, not your typical first line from me, but hear me out. We drove about 45 minutes to a kayaking spot. The drive is peppered with farms and beautiful homes set back on large pastures. This may not sound like much or out of the ordinary to you, this gal grew up in Upstate New York in a modest home, in a neighborhood where all of my neighbors were visible followed by a short stint in NYC. No farms there.
I recently got a DM asking me a few questions about some of my favorite staples for a fall wardrobe. I thought about in grade school when your teacher used to say,
If you have a question, odds are someone else has that same question.
It’s September now, so does that mean its fall? Pretty tough when it is still in the 80s here in NJ, but honestly, I’m pretty pumped about boots and sweaters. In last week’s blog I explained my tip for transitional styling.
If I think about any major life change, there is a transition period. Right? Like if I think about when I moved to NJ- I didn’t know anyone, didn’t have any friends of my own, and I certainly never knew where I was. But then eventually after ups and downs, I figured it out. I made some friends, settled into my new job, and quickly found myself less reliant on my GPS.
