Caught My Eye

March 13, 2023 by styledbykdg

Every now and then the algorithms on Instagram actually get it right. Recently an ad popped up for Long Wharf Supply Co. – preppy and environmentally impactful. I mean, they could not have hit me more in my sweet spot…. After all, I am an environmental lawyer’s wife who has more blazers than is probably healthy. To be honest, the styles and design are not new or unique but their familiarity is comforting to me. What really caught my attention […]

Tried It!

March 7, 2023 by styledbykdg

I’m not a big cosmetics person. Aside from a lifelong tick of wanting/needing to wear mascara every day, I do not wear cosmetics consistently. Skincare – mildly obsessed. But cosmetics, meh. I have a bare minimum regimen often spiced up with eyeliner. But I’m very picky about my eyeliner. It needs to really glide on. It needs to be hand sharpened with a sharpener – the mechanical sticks are too delicate and snap on the regular for me. It needs […]

R is for Reading

March 6, 2023 by styledbykdg

Last year I realized that I was decompressing and relaxing by streaming tv shows. A lot of tv shows. But it wasn’t fulfilling. I would be mid-show and think, I should be reading and in fact, I want to be reading. So I started to consciously read. To do that, I first picked a book that was easy to get in to, if not necessarily cerebral. Then, I pre-selected a set of books that I would look forward to reading […]

Well. This was a week. I was inexplicably annoyed at everything and everyone. Every. Single. Day. Monday, I tweaked me knee working out and subsequently am now getting to know Seattle’s best in medicine. Tuesday, I juggled three deadlines and dropped two of them. Wednesday, well, where the double hockey sticks did Wednesday go?! Oh and yesterday? I just growled at everyone and tried not to disappoint anyone at the same time…yep, that went about as well as you’d think. […]

New Arrivals – The ModCloth Version

February 25, 2021 by styledbykdg

Thought of a new recurring blog post – I share selected New Arrivals from some of my favorite shopping spots. Today, it is ModCloth. I actually discovered the site back in the early 2000’s when it started. I’ve always loved their approachable quirkiness!

I Lobe You!

February 22, 2021 by styledbykdg

Getting your ears pierced is a rite of passage in many cultures. I vividly remember getting my own ears pierced. My mom had a rule that my sister and I had to wait until we were 16 years old. As with most older sister / younger sister situations my sister dutifully waited until she was 16 and I got to get my ears pierced when I turned 13 years old. With the caveat – no dangle earrings!! Well, my best […]

Friday Five

February 19, 2021 by styledbykdg

I only had two days of “on” this week – but boy oh boy they are jam packed. When did that happen? Why is that happening? Are we sliding imperceptibly toward resuming a facet of life in full? Are we pushing the envelope out of desperation? Are we better understanding how to color within the lines but in a more active way? Who knows at this point. All I do know is that I’m feeling pretty energized by this increase […]

Why Not?

February 18, 2021 by styledbykdg

Hi! Took a little family snowcation from life and the blog. It was a refreshing break and all the outdoor snow fun pushed me outside my quarantine comfort zone which is always invigorating! My shopping habits this year have definitely taken a turn toward the…well, convenient. What is more convenient than Prime? Nope, not kidding. I have bought some rather phenomenal clothing items from Amazon this year. And some “meh” items too. Here is a round up of the best […]
