Searching for "grace"

Serena’s Sports Bra

Of course I’m disappointed in the way Serena lost Saturday’s match against Kim Clijsters, but unfortunately, I can relate all too well to a lost temper in the heat of the moment and the subsequent self-recrimination. I imagine her self-recrimination is magnified by the number of people who watched the incident live or on video […]

The Bravissimo Dress Solution

I have never purchased Bravissimo dresses because they don’t come in petites, but my tall friend Nicole swears by them. She says the neckline of her Bravissimo wrap dress hits at just the right place. Let’s see if we can get Nicole to tell us more in the comments or a new post. I have […]

Serena in a Red Dress

I found this great picture from 2008 here on Flickr yesterday: another strong, confident, full-breasted woman embracing her shape and looking gorgeous in a red dress. Definitely a knit.

September’s Instyle magazine is a goldmine, but don’t expect to find much in old issues of Oprah, Redbook or Real Simple. All I could found there were women in t-shirts […]

Wish List

I fell in love with this pretty little Leifsdottir top at Bloomingdale’s last week and then discovered I’d cut a picture of it in blue from a magazine a few months ago. So I must really like it. Even if Bloomingdale’s had had it in my size, I would have been shocked if it had […]

The Nicest Bag I’ve Ever Owned

I’ve reached the end of my search for the perfect bag. Marketa finished it in July, but we weren’t able to get together for lunch until this past Wednesday. I love the smell and feel of the beautiful leather, the deep pockets inside, and the shimmery aqua lining. This bag will fit anything I want […]
