It’s the time of year when loose clothing is the key. We love this time of year when it’s still warm in the mornings during our dog walks, and not too hot the rest of the day. I tend to grab for my dresses lately, but I push myself to wear loose pants, shorts, and other options for variety. I think you would enjoy it if you signed up for the emails below.

For our Where Blogger’s Live group, Bettye gave us the prompt of “What I do when I’m bored.” Of course, leave it to me to change things up and concentrate on what to do when bored at night in the interest of better health. Confession: My initial response to this prompt was to laugh hysterically. I think the last time that BORED was part of my vocabulary was when I was 10. Anyone else remembers complaining, “Mom, I’m bored.” Quote of the day: “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” Robert Louis Stevenson Complaining that I was bored was... Continue Reading

We love our retirement community and some of its quirky features. While not all of these details are unique to only our area, many make you realize that the address is in Sun City, AZ. Quote of the day: “If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it!” Jonathan Winters Once you have lived at an address in Sun City for a couple of years, you forget how unique these items are until a friend comes to visit. This area has a mid-century modern vibe like Palm Springs, California, and is near and dear to our hearts; So much so that we have promoted it to friends who have moved out here.

There’s no easier way to figure out what to wear for the day than to take someone else’s look and make it your own. Or as I’m calling it: Monday Mimic Style.As my friend, Em, once said, you don’t have to copy it, but just be inspired by it. Quote of the day: “When you start to love yourself for the first time when you start to truly embrace who you are-flaws and all your scars start to look a lot more like beauty marks.” Jacob Tobia When Mireille was out visiting us, we thought we would have fun by each of us choosing an outfit that the other had worn a while back and then recreating... Continue Reading

The month of May. For many, it means graduations, weddings, and of course Mother’s Day. This week was a warm one in our part of the country and yet it’s ideal because the mornings are still cool. I take my photos after we come back from walking the dog and before breakfast, so many times any layers you see in the photos get thrown off by noontime.

Sponsored by Aventura I have to thank my friend, Carrie for introducing me to this Aventura brand. Even if you had heard of Aventura Clothing before, you might not have thought it was for older women since the models on their site aren’t in our age range. That is why I wanted to give insight in this Aventura clothing review not only about the clothing and the company but for you to realize that they aren’t age restricted. Quote of the day: “I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear: knowing what must be done does away with fear.” Rosa Parks Both... Continue Reading

Our experience with birthdays has given us so much wisdom over the years. Enough wisdom to realize what makes a comfortable shoe.Yet even now, some new discoveries and materials help our older feet, and I wanted to showcase 2 pairs from Ros Hommerson’s spring styles. Quote of the day: “One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. It’s no secret that each of us needs unique aspects to our shoes since our feet are very different individually. Facts: These shoes were gifted to me. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and... Continue Reading

When Mireille and I came up with the idea of styling beige monochromatic outfits for one of the photoshoots when she was visiting, I thought I would have a mutiny on my hands from my mom and Lesley. Sure, I get it. Beige can be a yawn when it comes to clothing. Yet there are ways to give any outfit sass, and we all showed great variety that we applied to this idea. With that in mind, make sure to check out Mireille’s look on her site as she even borrowed my sneakers for her look since it was chillier than expected.
