Happy Tuesday!  Today, I would like to share how my Chico’s picks make spring outfits fun. Among my five style adjectives you will see the words….creative, approachable, joyful, and current. Together these adjectives tell a story of a woman who loves to have fun with fashion…especially with color and design. I add the word “polished” to the mix just to keep me under control….if I get too out there with my choices it doesn’t feel like me. This is why my Chico’s picks for spring outfits this year are giving me so many options…they easily speak my five adjectives. Some I have already added ..read more

They have been apart of witnessing this relationship blossum into a new family from the time they joined us all. Nothing makes me happier t ..read more

Happy Sunday!  Welcome to my weekly lifestyle post called Sunday Mornings at Home. One of you said last week that this post reminds you of “random thought” posts and I suppose that is true, because it is always different. For this Sunday Mornings at Home, I want to take a moment and just be thankful for the beauty of the season.  I love to hear all of the birds chiming in as I step outside in the mornings…even if it is humid. We have been blessed with enough rain that San Antonio looks glorious in greens and flowers….I am thankful. And I hope you are as well. Today’s Sunday mornings ..read more

Happy Saturday, everyone!  Today we are discussing 2024 Fashion Trends: Gingham! On Saturdays since the beginning of a new year, we have looked at the 2024 fashion trends with the goal to look modern and current with our style over 50. Fiesta is well underway in San Antonio, so happy fashions catch my attention…and I consider gingham to be one of the happy 2024 fashion trends. It puts a smile on my face. So, let’s look at little closer at the 2024 fashion trends and see what retailers offer us in gingham. 2024 FASHION TRENDS: GINGHAM ON THE RACKS Gingham is everywhere right now, most re ..read more

Happy Fiesta Friday!  The two-week San Antonio event officially kicked off yesterday, so here is What I Wore to begin Fiesta San Antonio. Fiesta events are usually during warm, humid weather and it can be a challenge to dress for outdoors…which the majority of the events are outdoors. I do not believe I will be at many this year, but I definitely began Fiesta the same way I have for the last several years and can share what I wore with y ou. It is rare that I go full blown Fiesta-style, but often what I wore to events will focus on the accessories. I told you San Antonio is a colorful ci ..read more

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  It is mid-week and time once again for Today’s News for Women over 50. Thank you for being here each week to read the latest in today’s news for lifestyle information I curate for this audience. I think it is so much easier to find these posts in one location and have someone do (my very best) to weed out some of the fluff. Although that is more and more of a challenge every week. I am thankful to have been trained with my journalism degree to practice some news judgement in a world that constantly operates on a constant flow of propaganda and ads. So, know I ..read more

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  Welcome to a discussion about 7 important steps for confident style over 60. We discuss confident style over 60 often on this blog, but it occurred to me recently that perhaps I should put 7 important steps into one post to assist you in achieving that confident style over 60 easily. I suppose that I am a typical blogger in that I have a reason for just about everything I do in reference to my outward appearance.   Over the years, dedication to these steps has paid off and I rarely leave my house not feeling confident…even at age 70. I am discussing more th ..read more

Happy April 15th!  Rather than dwell on the tax-man, come join me for a JJILL try-on for spring outfits. I know on this day some may want to wear black and mourn what they owe for taxes, but I would rather look at my JJILL try-on for spring. When I stopped by the JJILL location at the Alamo Quarry, there were several new style and colors to see…so I decided to show them to you. Just a reminder that this particular try-on is all for you, ladies.  Some of you live in cooler climates than me,  and some of you wear different colors than me. One note: After recovery from surgery, I ..read more

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Welcome to my weekly lifestyle post called Sunday Mornings at Home. For this Sunday Mornings at Home, I find myself once again on April 14 praying for my husband and staying out of his way. Mr. B is a CPA who has tax clients on the side of his full time job…many are done for friends and family and with great care and attention…today is crunch time! So, let’s begin with a few updates from last week’s Sunday mornings at home. The first picture shows you one of the plants I was outside planting last Sunday morning. We were blessed to get many in the ground and in po ..read more
