"Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength."
Love arriving at my destination; the actual plane, car or train ride, not so much. That is why organization and packing for me are key. I have streamlined my approach to packing clothes, shoes etc, as I have shown in a previous post. Today I want to focus the bathroom stuff – soaps, serums, creams […]

Palazzo – or wide-legged – pants are a big part of my spring/summer style, but it has taken me a while to learn the differences among these very comfortable and versatile pants.

When I find something that works, I will usually buy a few and every once in a while, it is worth sharing! I love the idea of reviewing a top for Covered Perfectly because the pieces I have to date are versatile and comfortable. It’s like starting with a blank canvas that I can accessorize in […]
