A few months ago my mom was in town visiting me. I had an event over the weekend that I took her to; happy to have her experience what I do. Before heading to the event I was having one of those I have nothing to wear moments. My mom, as moms do, swoops in and saves the day by letting me wear her new gingham two-piece set from J.McLaughlin. Yes I am wearing my mother’s clothes to an event, but truthfully I would buy/wear this myself. Gingham is ageless and so are these two pieces.

Happy Friday! This past week has been all about self care. I have been having some health issues that are still to be determined. I started to notice some symptoms last week and have been to see a few doctors this past week. I have to go back in a week for more testing. I am trying to stay in good spirits but I am a little scared not knowing what is going on. I have been resting and relaxing (trying to keep my stress and anxiety levels lows and getting my energy levels back up), eating healthy foods, drinking lots of water and probiotics. This could end up being nothing serious but something is going on.

Now that Wimbledon has come and go and the US Open is just around the corner, I have tennis fever. Last year, after a 25 year hiatus, I took lessons at Midtown Tennis. I was a little rusty at first getting back into the game but now I am confident that I am the next Serena Williams.

Now that I am practically a pro I have been shopping for tennis attire– can’t be a professional without looking cute and on trend. The item I am most coveting is a tennis dress. Comfortable to throw on and easy to move in. I can wear it when I am on the court and when I am off the court running errands pretending I just came from a match. Although this summer my skills have not been put to great use, I am hoping to take lessons again this fall. Until then, shopping for tennis attire will have to satisfy my fever.
