Any woman blessed with a D cup or larger is familiar with the challenge of finding a swimsuit that not only flatters and fits, but also supports and contains.

Other than my own wedding which was so long ago, the details escape my memory, I have only attended one bridal suite pre-wedding regalia. That was recently at my daughter in law’s bequest.

It eclipses lingerie for sure; yet as extensive as the category is, I am a bit taken aback by the dearth of … Read More
Here in Mexico, I find myself attracted to colors that I would never consider for my wardrobe back in New York. Color seems to dominate the culture. Last week my friend Kelly took me to a boutique in San Jose de Cabo that caters to women looking for true Mexican design rather than flee market souvenirs. I, who rarely enjoys shopping (except for work); found myself mesmerized by the vibrant … Read More
