I added these vintage gloves purchased in 1986 in Toronto and wore the ring of my grandma Yhetta, who is my son Yale’s namesake, in the outside of the g ..read more

When it comes to colors and mood enhancement, red and pink are the colors of choice. I don’t know what it is about this color combo, but it always seems to be associated with happiness, and love.

The cargo pant has made an enormous comeback this year, as jeans, khakis or faux leather. However, these satin ones by Frame, are the absolute winners. Relaxed in the leg yet straight and uniform all the way to the bottom, they are fitted at the waist and hips, thereby elongating the leg and making me look much taller than I am. For this alone, the pants get high marks. Also unique to these pants are the two belt loops. There is a wide loop for belting at the waist, and a lower smaller one for belting at the hip. This allowed me to style the pants in two ways. I decided to insert a narrow b ..read more
