Fashion Tips: An Interview With A Five-Year-Old Fashionista

fashion quote

My 5-year-old is a much better dresser than me. She’s fancy while spunky, classic while trendy, and just has that magical eye to see a jaunty headband would make all the difference. Since my daughter is always in style, I thought she could help us old people figure out how to keep up, keep in, […]

Act Your Age Ma’am

Mermaid Hair

One of my bigger fears as I get older is not “dressing my age” because there’s no one creepier than the lady who looks twenty-two from the blinged-out, back pockets on a seven-times-a-week gym butt until BAM! grandma turns around to say hello.
