I can’t remember when I bought my hand-painted, vintage Zandra Rhodes dress, but the last photo I have of me wearing it is from 2006. I believe I wore it a couple of times that year. While searching for some images of Zandra Rhodes, I came across this 2003 picture of Mary-Kate Olsen wearing a…

Throwback Thursday Music: The Who and Joan Jett
In 1982, when I was in high school, the Who went on a farewell tour. My gorgeous but strict mother, BarbaraB, wouldn’t let me go to the New Jersey show. I cried and cried because, after all, it was a FAREWELL TOUR! My last chance EVER to see The Who! Last chance, that is, until…
Shoes in Magazines, on TV and on Restaurant Tables
Gladiator sandals really are the shoe of the moment. After writing about them in yesterday’s post, I spotted them in today’s New York Observer. This look is going to be wildly overdone this season, but I’m going to take advantage of its pervasiveness and stock up on styles so I have them to wear when…
Throwback Thursday: Mr. Chubbs & the Peke Not Taken
I brought home my late, great Pekingese Mr. Chubbs from the city pound on May 10, 1996. At my apartment, I placed him on a new dog pillow and put a chew toy next to him. We contemplated each other for a while. I’m always nervous on the first day with a new pet. I…

White Hot? Already Got!
I’m pleased to see that US Magazine says white pantsuits are hot. I can shop my closet for that look. I have a white Versace pantsuit that I bought in 2003. The most recent photo I have of it is from 2007 and the picture is really tiny! Time to bring it out again and…
Mad Men and Gladiators
The title of this post refers to Mad Men and sandals, not Mad Men and the “gladiators in suits” populating Scandal. I admit that I have only seen one episode of Scandal, but I’ll have time to catch up now that MrB and I have gotten 72 episodes of Mad Men out of the way….
Throwback Thursday: Emoji Face
Here’s a Throwback Thursday photos from my younger days. My MUCH younger days. Do you think the tongue-out emoji face was based on me? I demand royalties!
I Need a Vintage Ozbek Dress … and a Time Machine
You never get over your first love. I don’t mean your middle-school crush or high-school boyfriend/girlfriend. Who cares about those people?! Damn, I can’t even remember any names. The romantic feelings that last are your first music and fashion loves. Even if you don’t listen to those bands or wear those styles any more, I…
Throwback Thursday: The Late, Great Mr. Chubbs
For Throwback Thursday, here’s a May June 1996 photo of my first Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs, shortly after I brought him home from the pound and cut his long matted hair off. There was a cute dog under there! I think Chubbs looks a little bewildered by the recent changes in his life, not to mention…
