I know it happened. I remember packing up the cars and leaving the morning after. But the actual event? I think I sleep walked through it! How could this be? An event as grand as this and somehow I feel like I missed it! I had planned other big events like my daughter’s bat mitzvah and my son’s bar mitzvah but nothing could prepare me for a wedding! It seemed no matter how much work my daughter and I did the list just kept growing. Helpful that the two of us are list makers but regular lists were just not enough. Each segment of the wedding had its own list. We decided that a wedding planner was a must!

3 FALL FASHION LOOKS YOU NEED RIGHT NOW
I’ve had the majority of my clothing for many years. I tend to buy basics in neutral colors so every year as the seasons change I buy a few fresh pieces to stay current. As there are always so many new trends (colors, lines, patterns) I choose the style that best suits my taste. This year I’m super excited with all the different types of sweaters available.

Most baby boomer women hate their arms and this look is the perfect solution!
CODE RED
There’s nothing sexier than the color red. Red represents passion, desire, romance, strength and love . . . the perfect recipe for a perfect Valentine’s Day. I remember the first time I decided to try the color red on my nails and lips. I loved the shade of red on my nails but the color I chose for my lips was horrendous and I looked like a clown. As you remember there were not a lot of options when it came to red lipstick — we baby boomers only had an orange-red (remember the brand Tangee?) or vampire red-purple available to us. Luckily, times have changed.
