Happy Friday!! Looks like summer decided to join us a little earlier than normal. It’s steamy here in New York. If it’s already 80/90 degrees in May, well we are in for a very hot summer. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen! (more…)

Happy Friday! Just in time for the weekend the CDC announced that those of us who have been vaccinated no longer need to wear a mask!! I am so thrilled about this as many of you are as well. I know there is a lot of hesitation and fear surrounding the no mask policy, and no we do not know what the future holds, but I think it’s time for us to move forward. Also, continue to do what makes you feel safe. For a while I am going to continue to wear a mask indoors (especially establishments that require them), but outside it is coming off. Wearing a mask during 90 degree summer days is truly miserable. I am over joyed about the new guidelines; I am ready to mingle and be around people again! (more…)

Happy Friday!! I am fully vaccinated and ready to mingle! Wednesday morning I received my 2nd COVID vaccine shot and I feel like a whole new woman. Surprisingly, and luckily, I have not had any side effects from the 2nd dose. The 1st shot knocked me out actually. I had body aches, mild migraines, and a stomach ache. Now after my 2nd shot, I feel like I could go out dancing until 4am. I am ready to put on my party shoes and socialize! (more…)
The other day right as I was about to throw on my new light weight jacket from J.Crew, I noticed an unusual tag. A tag that I have never seen before from the beloved company. In green colors it said “Re-Imagined J.Crew”. I immediately knew what this meant– J.Crew was finally taking a sustainable approach. I went on their website to check out more of this new strategy. From 100% organically sourced to recycle material, they are producing fabrics that are better for the planet. By 2025 all of their products will be sustainable. Their wool will be machine washable. The cotton will be certified organic. The silks will have a safe dye. Other fabrics will come from responsible sources. This is a great step in the right direction and I am so proud of J.Crew to doing it! Here are a few items from their sustainable collection. I already have this white top, this other white top, this dress, this beach coverup, and this lightweight jacket. Oh and I have my eye on this white dress— on sale!
