Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I want to let you know that I just discovered a potentially useful website called www.scamadviser.com. I checked the website Janeswear.com that I ordered the cashmere sweaters from, and it had been given a 20% Trustscore rating, a “very low” rating. Gee, I wish I had known about this website before I ordered! But now …
What in heaven’s name is wrong with me? I don’t seem to have good judgement at all. I succumb to the siren’s song of ads from unknown retailers that I see on Facebook all the time. But maybe, just maybe, I’ve finally learned my lesson. Cheap Sandals That Didn’t Fit and Smelled Bad In August, …
When I moved from New York City to the suburbs outside of Boston, a lot changed including my wardrobe. Yet it took me years and lots of wasted purchases for that to sink in. In New York, I worked as an ad exec in an office most of the time or as a consultant with …
I’m a hat person. I have loved and worn hats for years. I probably should have been born decades earlier when hats were de rigeur, but I am doing my best to try to help them make a comeback. I have lots of them in all different styles. I am always looking for an occasion …
I’m a day late and a dollar short. When I wrote this yesterday – Thursday – it was National Handbag Day. So I thought I’d share my handbag bargain for Fall that I scored at Macy’s last week. When I was in the store the week before, I strolled through the bag department, and my …
I’m still very satisfied with the bras I’ve bought from Savage x Fenty (reviewed here and here). But to be clear, I wear underwire bras. Not everyone likes underwire, I know. But these are the most comfortable underwire bras ever. Recently, I’ve been talking to a couple of my friends about Savage x Fenty bras, …
Back in November, I wrote about my first experience ordering two bras from Rihanna’s lingerie brand, Savage x Fenty. I bought two different styles, Unlined Microfiber Demi Cup and Unlined Mesh Bra. I had never bought a bra online before that I had not tried on first. I was amazed: they both fit me perfectly! …
During our weekend in NYC, I insisted on checking out the new neighborhood still in process of being built on the West Side in the 30s, Hudson Yards. Some of Hudson Yards had just opened: the Vessel, an odd looking open structure that you can climb up to see the view of New York and …
I was probably the only woman in the world who had never owned a Kate Spade bag (I do have a wallet though). Even though she had sold the company well before she died, I felt like I needed one of the KS bags. When I got an email from the Kate Spade website announcing …
If you’ve been shopping for pants and jeans lately, you probably already know about this. But if like me, you haven’t been shopping in a while, this might be a surprise. A few weeks ago, Courtney from Phyrra.net who has been posting a lot of fashion lately posted some pix of herself wearing terrific black …
Every year, I try to remember to take advantage of the Winter Clearance Sale at Sand Castles, a cute clothing, accessories and gift boutique in scenic, oceanside Rockport MA. It takes place after Christmas in January and February to make room for the summer merchandise that’s their bread and butter during the tourist season. In …
You may know that I love needlework, especially crochet and embroidery. One of these days, I’ll find someone who can teach this lefty to knit. I belong to several crochet groups on Facebook, and I guess FB’s algorithm again figured out a way to entice me with advertising. They showed me a sponsored post by …
Now that the weather is officially cold, I am wearing more layers and more tights and socks. I had lots of opportunities to wear the rest of the hosiery that I received in October from Berkshire (reviewed here). But also, the black anklets and the black and white polka dot anklets that I reviewed last …
I know you’re beginning to think that I spend all of my time shopping the ads that I see on Facebook. 🙄 😉 I’m in a lot of blogging groups that are on Facebook, so that’s why I’m on so much. Plus my career was in advertising, so there you go. I like advertising! A …
Sadly, I have put away my sandals, though I am hoping that we may have some Indian Summer days at some point before the real cold weather hits. When I wear shoes, I wear socks or stockings. In fact, for years, I wore nylon knee-highs, and sometimes I still do. But when we were in …
