My dear late grandmother may not have been the most fashion forward of ladies, but she was always impeccably dressed. The styles of the 40’s and 50’s were her defining era, and she carried over a lot of lessons from those into her later years. She also taught me a lot about how to dress,Continue reading “5 Style Tips from Grandma”

31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 31
Today’s post is: what have you learned from doing this challenge? What have I learned? Well, mostly that somehow I can write more than two blog posts a week and it’s really a question of scheduling and spending some of my weekend doing post stuff. Also planning, because there’s no way I’m going to beContinue reading “31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 31”

They’re sort of grey-blue, and I like that I can wear almost any eyeshadow with eyes thisContinue reading “31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 27”
31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 26
Today’s post is: your unpopular opinion (and Fashion Cat doesn’t like it either) Hmm, tough one. I don’t want to be piled on by the internet but I’m going to say… A lot of things that are popular are only popular because of clever marketing and aren’t actually that good. There, I said it. AndContinue reading “31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 26”

Today’s post is:Â Which historical figure would you most like to have dinner with and why? Always with the hard questions, blog challenge! I would probably want to sit down with Yves Saint Laurent, if I’m honest. Maybe not the most important person in world history but in fashion history? Yes, definitely. He did so muchContinue reading “31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 25”
