While in Hawaii, waiting for my good friend’s wedding to take place on Friday, I decided on my day 2 – free day to walk the streets adorned with designer boutiques. Which then led me to surf “the net” for fall fashion releases. You can take a girl out of her city, but you can’t take the city out of the girl. Check out Termpereley of London from here:

The month of April, almost over, was the busiest month for me, even though I thought last year this month was, when one of my favorite people got married. Although I spend the month, rekindling family get togethers, bridal showers, business lunches and company after work happy hours, not to mention moving friends across the state, I had enough time to think about what I foresee in the near future – meaning the next 6 months remaining for 2013, for myself. I had set goals, like everyone else at the beginning of the year and one by one, the daily challenges, altered my course or direction. However, I haven’t forgotten what I needed to do still and so, I wrap up this month with a laundry list of things yet to achieve. 1. Launch book to kindle and other electronic reading tools 2. Work with a personal trainer to sculpt my body 3. Manage a garage sale in an effort to downsize 4. Donate entire wardrobe and revamp my style 5. Travel with those near …
I don’t need to remind anyone, that women multi-task on a second to second basis. While sitting at their desks at work, shuffling paper, their multitasking inside their heads. From what to make for dinner, to coordinating how the week would unfold. Children, homework, housework, husbands, get togethers, doctor’s appointments, grocery list, project deadlines, laundry, meetings, telephone calls and even vacation planning. So, for this week, these are the thoughts going through my head:
Don’t you sometimes flip through a magazine or a website and stop when you see the most beautifully photographed woman and wish you could just look like that or in my case, even pose like that for a photograph? {Photo credits or inspiration: click here}
Sometimes it’s good to shop for practical shoes which are very well made and durable enough to last and keep you comfortable. While I walked through Union Square yesterday at lunch, I decided to take a look at the Spring/Summer display at the Cole Haan Boutique near Maiden Lane and to my pleasant surprise, I was impressed. Here are some of my favorite comfy shoes.
The moment, there is a sense of Spring in the air, I feel the need to go shoe shopping (if that makes sense to anyone else) and what choices I have. Check out my favorites from here: 1.

I have to say, women over 40, have come a long way. Not just in Hollywood, but also in the real world. The funny thing is, that when I was in my 20s, I dreaded being 40 and now that I have reached that point, I couldn’t be more proud. Now my only wish is that I could look as good as Jane Fonda when I am in my 70s. With that said, check out some of my favorite looks at this year’s Oscars.
There are fashion trends and wardrobe suggestions, which I, being a woman over 40, wish I could wear and while I second guess myself about whether the pieces are age appropriate, I do, on occasion, give into the temptation. I mean why not, if it looks good, wear it. Here’s my latest loves from Free People and yes ladies, they are age appropriate: FP High Rise Skinny, Quilted Leather Jacket, Tristo Leather Tote, Solitaire Heel, We The Free Ragtime Raglan-top
