Quick post, it’s Monday and we’ve got a sick one at home :(.
For the next week or so we’ll be back to Essie Wicked, one of our dark favorites for short nails.
Nothing quite beats the white silk blouse blue denim jeans black leather jacket when you need to be dressed in five minutes or less.
Went back to the gym today after about five months off, wicked wicked wicked, we’ll be sore tomorrow for sure.
Happy Monday all.
Yesterday was a wrap for our October trunk show, we’ll be back again the second week of November if you missed us.
We had some magic happening in that room of ours, beautiful women interacting with beautiful clothing. Second daughter and her friend came by and of course they were looking for the wine, it was 10:30 am on a regular Thursday. We poured some wine for them and then continued right on with our afternoon clients. Clothes and spirits were flying.
Also on our calendar is a street style runway show to benefit WNY Women’s Foundation on Friday November 6th. One of the looks we’re playing with is a featherweight long bronze taffeta skirt, white stretch cotton french cuffed blouse, aka one of our favorites Carolyn Roehm, and then mixing in a biker inspired suede belt and leopard cashmere scarf at the neck.
As mentioned we’re reading Donna Karan’s My Journey. Love how she writes about leaving her office to run home and make dinner for her daughter and husband. Love that our work allows us to do the after school pick-up, put some chickens in the oven and then run back downtown for the pack-up.
Every day dress, where the magic happens, a very good day.
Picked these one size up black jeans a few years ago in some international airport before a long haul flight back home. Needed to change into something fresh and comfortable quick, and they fit the bill. Wore them again yesterday, needed something that fit, lol.
Always tell my girls and clients that a five or ten pound swing happens, so be it. Sometimes up, sometimes down. Oldest daughter put on fifteen when she was living in Spain and eating tapas, she’s now down. We here have gone up, when you are traveling all over and eating and drinking with reckless abandon, stuff happens.
Good thing we kept those jeans. And the sleeveless belted jacket? Bought that several seasons ago as well. Reading Donna Karan’s My Journey and like she says women rarely gain weight in their shoulders so show the shoulders I did. They might be a little rounder, that’s okay.
A column of black, while not original, gets you out the door.
Every day dress, keep those things. 🙂
Have a great Thursday everyone.
Okay, Monday mid-afternoon and we haven’t updated the bloggie regularly. We’ve been working towards smart and here’s what we’re up to:
We’re mid-way through our fall winter twenty-fifteen trunk show, and we’ll be back at it again November 6th through the 13th.
Every day dress, working towards smart. Still using the iPhone for pics, even though we found the battery charger we couldn’t find the camera.
Wishing everyone an awesome week.
While it might be a beautiful world to have the gardens and prep the meals (not to mention her interiors yet’s that’s an entirely different chapter) that our #lifegoals tastemaker Carolyn Roehm puts out, we’re happy right now with simple things.
Husband and I planted a row of hydrangea late spring, 7 plants in total. We tended them off and on all summer and kind of thought they were on the edge. Last weekend spent one day at the country place to put away all the seasonal furniture and there they were: looking established, great, healthy. Beautiful and simple. Cut some stems and brought them back to the city house.
Food has been simple too. Baked fish, roasted zucchini and tomatoes, spinach salad. Photos taken with the iPhone, food was way better than it looks, couldn’t find the battery charger for the digital camera,and the battery was toast.
spinach, mandarin oranges, blue cheese, walnuts, balsamic vinaigrette, super easy
First day at the new office, what a whirlwind.
Every day dress, happy right now.
Tuesday afternoon after a long weekend and it’s absolutely double Monday. With Friday and yesterday off, and it was a gorgeous weekend with all six kids and friends in ski town, we’re playing catch-up like mad.
In fact, it’s been a little mad for a while, where do these days/months/years go?
Momma always says just when you think you can’t handle one more thing, things get better. Momma’s right. 🙂
Meet Michelle; she’s the partner I’ve written about, and she’s beyond. We get each other, and she brings great energy and balance to our growing team. In fact, you can read her styling story on her personal page, www.worthnewyork.com/michelle-capizzi. Should you not want to click I’ve copied and pasted below:
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Every day dress, meet Michelle. Michelle, beyond thrilled to have you on board, thank you.

Stuff’s going on, as it always will. Late to the blog, photo shown here taken Saturday in Toronto, ON, we’ve been running on empty.
To keep on keeping on we’re down to the basics: make the bed, protein for breakfast, walk the dogs, make some dinner, enjoy a glass of wine, spend time with those you love.
Every day dress, running on empty, filling up the tank. xo
Black turtleneck, black pants, (even a size up), and black boots can get you through, or pick your neutral. Always have a good scarf or wrap on hand.
First day of October and all around we’re making moves. Sometimes slow, and always more involved and taking longer than you expect, oh, well.
Second daughter signed her lease on a mid-town apartment (she’s moving out) and us here (we’re moving in) at every day dress have officially signed down-town at The Plaza Suites. Women power, for sure, but never underestimate or fail to value those men behind us, never ever.
We have a phone! and a receptionist! conference space! one underground parking space! windows!, a professional office suite #101 with our name on the door…a room of our own.
We’ve done a photo-shoot with a local woman photographer, thank you Missy Kennedy Photography, and need to update all social media, yikes.
It all takes time, going in a forward direction, making moves, all around.
Every day dress women. Let’s always be part of making good things happen.
Fall Winter Trunk Show happening Friday October 16th – Thursday, October 22nd.
ps. Every woman should own this shirt, in all colors, makes daily dressing easier. You can even sleep in it and get out of bed in the morning looking pretty great. Black | White | Cream. Machine wash and dry, sweet.

Okay, so after a summer of non-stop travel and constant house-hopping, last weekend had to go down-lo and put all tech stuff away. It was rejuvenating, and wonderful, and totally needed. Connected? I was losing touch, for sure.
Saw and bought these lawn chairs at the start of the season, last Friday night and Sunday late afternoon was the first time this body here met up with them, and it’s just about October. Read The New York Times SundayReview, and oddly enough there was an article ‘Stop Googling. Let’s Talk’, by Sherry Turkle. Very good reading, and on-point message.
While recently in Oregon tasting all the great Pinot Noir and more of the Willamette Valley husband actually had to pause and say, and this is a cliché but still, ‘stop and smell the roses’.
So, now, while still getting the work done, we’re also doing what matters: putting the phone away, and the laptop, and the constant connectivity. See you in a little, we’re going out to walk the dogs.
Every day dress, just about October, have we done this yet?
We’ve been working on moving, into new official office space!, and with that we’ve been slow to the blog and pretty much dressed daily in jeans and a tee. Today we moved rolling racks, chairs, grids, and a super-size mirror. Tomorrow it’s the glass-topped desks, a printer and the router, exciting times.
Jeans and a tee are great, and wore that combination out last Saturday night. Did the tee in leather, nice upgrade, and wore some new boots to boot.
Real clothes are calling our name, a deep grey wool cashmere jacket, a black chiffon sleeve v neck pullover, and a black fringe chiffon slim skirt for starters. Until Thursday, October 1st, when we’re all moved in and official, jeans and a tee it will be.
Every day dress, stay tuned.
