A Little Spit and Polish

April 11, 2025 by styledbykdg

I will forever be in awe of the women who can go on a beach vacation and look as put together as they do at a coffee date. This isn’t polite patter to introduce my topic. This is a full throated confession that I spend an inordinate amount of my time on my beach vacation assessing the habits of put together women. This on the scene study plus pre-travel research has netted me a robust vacation pre-game. Full transparency, I […]

One Way, Two Ways, Three Ways, More

April 9, 2025 by styledbykdg

Blouson Sleeve Midi Dress in Rich Emerald – Boden $225 This dress is truly lovely. The color makes a statement when you enter the room but in a way that does not take over the room. The drape can hide what you want hidden or highlight what you do. The viscose material will swing and sway and breathe just enough during the spring months. A pair of shoes will either dress it up or down. Keep the shoe color neutral […]

Les Livres

April 4, 2025 by styledbykdg

In two weeks we leave for Spring Break. The memory of the touch of Carribean air on my skin when we step off the plane in Grand Cayman has me fantasizing about beach and pool reading. One of the many extraordinary aspects of being the mother of a teenager is that she likes to read which extends the coveted vacation reading time exponentially! I have completed my annual stack of books to read on my favorite vacation of the year. […]

The Firm and the Fabulous

April 2, 2025 by styledbykdg

I am not, by definition, a high maintenance woman. I have been known to skip the shower, spray on some dry shampoo, throw on a party frock and hit the scene. I have also developed a seven step, each, morning and evening skincare routine. Perhaps I am a balannce of convenience and self-care. However you define me, this skincare product was bound to catch my eye eventually. The Roc Firming Serum Stick is a beautiful hybrid of convenience and gosh […]

Unlikely Places

March 26, 2025 by styledbykdg

Every now and then you find somehing just right in the most unexpected place. Picture, if you will, a small stuffed cat on a shelf of Christmas tree topper stars and angels in a Target store. A young, newlywed couple stands in the aisle picking the tree topper for their first Christmas together. Tensions are high – one grew up with an angel atop the tree and the other a star. Christmas happens to be a holiday strongly steeped in […]

Here Comes the Sun

March 19, 2025 by styledbykdg

For the first time in my daughter’s academic life, the school she attends does not have a week long February break. We usually go to Grand Cayman over February break but instead this year we plan to travel to GC over Spring Break instead. I know, tiny violins. I *had* to do a proper shop for the trip as my beach wardrobe is pretty anemic. Last year’s breaks were staycations in Seattle for work and internships and the summer was […]

It’s in the Bag

March 12, 2025 by styledbykdg

I used to be absolutely obsessed with purses. As much as I love shoes, the amount of purses I owned outnumbered my pairs of shoes – a pretty impressive feat. I had purses for every season, every occasion, size specific, etc. Over the past decade I seem to be experiencing a decrease in interest in bags. I am conflicted over my feelings about that. Is it because everything looks the same? Is it because I am not looking for the […]

Scent and Sensibility

March 5, 2025 by styledbykdg

“A perfume is like a piece of clothing, a message, a way of presenting oneself, a costume that differs according to the woman who wears it” – Paloma Picasso I come from a long line of women with signature scents. My grandmother always wore Shalimar, my mother, her daughter, wore Chanel No.5. When I smell those scents now, I see each woman in my mind’s eye. I feel their personalities in the notes of the fragrance. When I was growing […]

Ahoy! I Am Feeling Salty

February 28, 2025 by styledbykdg

Authentic Original Boat Shoe – Sperry $100 I think the boat shoe trend may be a spring flash in the pan but I have been a long term devotee. Can you really call yourself Gen X if you did not wear your jeans pegged with Eastland boat shoes with the laces coiled? But I digress. This spring you can indulge your Gen X years in varying degrees of luxury. I have to chuckle at the $400+ price tag on some […]
