episode # 27 9/13/14 muses on berlin street style - or is the a lack thereof. having just been there & taken a small part in their version of nyc-founded fashion's night out, & having done my vacationer's fair share of cafe-based people watching, where the indy-area/US-ubiquitous black legging/jegging is the uniformly present wardrobe choice (despite color-saturated runway shows & magazines that insist color is everywhere & the lastest must-have), i am left to wonder: who is wearing what and when?

episode # 26 8/30/14 touches on my collection and term newly coined, "Mom Bling" definition? Mom Bling: any type of jewelry as gifted by a child to its feminine/maternal mentor/care-giver/loved one. nope, this does not include the unfortunate tokens (love + obligation – lack of time = unwearable trinket) given by well intended but taste-challenged/uncaring/late-running spouses/significant others. what's in your collection?

episode # 25 8/23/14 today’s episode is a story i am calling the liar, the witch & the wardrobe – what started out as the tale of a texas gal & her mega closet turns out to be a lesson in honesty, fame & misfortune, & as much dirty laundry as there were knockoff bags, baubles, brogues & rogues…& it ain’t over yet….when the muses of materialism catch wind of fame based on fortune, & when fakery works overtime to achieve those warholian 15 minutes, they will throw that schneicky back so fast that when it hits one in the face, it hits with the impact of a home run

episode # 23 8/9/15 is my back to school edition – musing on my daughter’s non-fashion statement fashion statement, how everything that is old is new again, & on the less is more concept, this time in terms of my latest fave in wearables, the “lagenlook”

episode # 22 7/26/14 is about the resurrection of 15-year old muslin curtains, doing something nice for no reason at all & the ez “green” decorating concept that is shopping your own house & breathing fun, frugal new life into old stuff
