sailing in narragansett bay

[easyrotator]erc_96_1341350807[/easyrotator]

Watched some pretty cool yacht racing yesterday and now following Spindrift Racing on Twitter. Boats are sonic fast and the entire crew pretty amazing athletes- did spot a ponytail or two. You can check them out with the live tracker on KRYS Ocean Race fb.me/17Gi472Fr.

We had breakfast in the Newport Shipyard and our youngest french speaking daughter translated telling us they were all getting ready for the upcoming transatlantic New York to France race. Took some photos while they were prepping the boats.

When sailing if you want to look like you have an idea of what’s going on, I suggest wearing navy and white. The clothing shots feature white DL1961 Angel jeans, Hermes belt, and Worth New York’s White and Navy Sail On Stripe Sweater. Oldest daughter is wearing new Oliver Peoples sunglasses, Worth New York’s Irish Jersey V Neck Pullover, Navy Ultimate Sweater Coat, and 7 for all Mankind Jeans purchased from Kristina Richards Studio www.kristinarichardsstudio.com in Newport RI.

Sail on.

 

why and how I blog

[easyrotator]erc_14_1341230618[/easyrotator]

Working from home in the world of fashion with fabulous and interesting women is the absolute best. Looking for women that would like to add another dimension to their probably already busy and full lives is an active pursuit. Showing four collections seasonally of beautiful clothes and helping women dress and build wardrobes is engaging and rewarding.

Husband and I both work hard and spend tons of time with our six children. As they spread out geographically and the pace of life just seems to get faster and faster I wanted to capture time spent with them and what I do.

Life is a wonderful thing. I jumped into this blogosphere to share my work and lifestyle and how great these clothes are from the company I represent, Worth New York. I take my laptop, camera, iPhone and iPad with me to wherever I may be. I can work and blog from anywhere. It’s great. My two youngest daughters take many of the photos and when I can get him husband edits text. Nineteen year old daughter has helped me set the theme and to get the rotators going. Many, many thanks. On my own I learned to install the wordpress plugin on my iPad so now I can post from that too.

These photos are a random sampling of arriving in Newport RI, posting yesterday afternoon in the hotel room, and me, husband, and four fashion loving daughters dressed for dinner.

In the posting shots I am wearing the Cream Denim Lucy Pant, Black and White Stripes on Jersey Tank, both from Spring/Summer 2012, and striped silk scarf from many seasons back. Dinner shots feature Apple Martini Sequin Blouse and white DL1960 jeans.

the t-rescue

Last twenty-four hours at the Otesaga Hotel & Cooper Inn in Cooperstown NY pure delight. Baseball Hall of Fame, great.

Highlight of the trip was swimming along side and pushing overturned canoe to the resort dock performing a t-rescue. Husband and third daughter thought it was fun to paddle too close causing Us to capsize. After the initial shock it was “kind of” funny.

Google search says the two most imprtant things to do when your canoe overturns are to save the paddles and stay with the boat. As thirteen year old daughter was wearing her life preserver and was fine but very mad, I went for the Manolo Blahnik crocodle sandals and the new Joie striped silk blouse. JCrew shorts from a few seasons back were up for sacrifice.

Back at the room after a hot shower husband tells me, ‘you know, crocodiles LIVE in water, sandals will be fine.

In photos here I am wearing said black Manolo Blahnik crocodile sandals, Roberto Cavalli coverup, and silver cuff from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery museum shop.

Next stop, Newport RI. Happy Sunday.
