Friday Five

February 5, 2021 by styledbykdg

The first weekend of February can have a bit of Poe-like dreariness to it. I don’t necessarily mean weatherwise. January, while bleak, is a bit of a respite from the holidays. But February. February is just January on repeat with still the soggy miasma of March ahead of us. So! Let’s find some things to bring us joy this weekend! Go outside and get fresh air they keep saying. Well, depending on where you are in the country, the weather […]

Trite But True

February 4, 2021 by styledbykdg

Not everyone likes Valentine’s Day. It is a really ridiculous holiday. Candy hearts, flowers and hell of a lot of pressure for one day is not love. It is entitled expectations of adoration. Love, the good stuff, is both inviolable and beautifully fragile. It is at once a constant re-awakening and monotonous. Fleeting yet forever. It is something to be treasured every day and anything less is easily forgotten. Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of my top 3 favorite poets, […]

Just How Much Did 2020 Affect Me?!

February 1, 2021 by styledbykdg

Let’s start with the fact that it is called a “bootie”. Then move on to the fact that it’s made by Toms. I have nothing against Toms but up there with Birkenstocks and Dansk, they aren’t exactly known for style. But hey, here I am saying I can be wrong. Because I am obsessing over these shoes. TOMS Kallie Stacked Wedge Bootie $99.95

January 5, 2021 by styledbykdg

As we enter 2021 I have found myself having conversations with varied and sundry friends and associates and pretty much every one of them is saying the same things. Simplify. Simple. Less. Quality. We’ve been living an abbreviated lifestyle for almost a year and have found that indeed, less is more. There is no one to impress. No party requiring over the top glitter and glam. Just us and our refined stay at home aesthetic. 🙂 GO ALL IN Continuance […]

As Time Goes By

April 21, 2020 by styledbykdg

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” – Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace I cannot decide if this post topic is cruel or amusing but I’m going for it. I love watches. I have about 22 watches. I’m not a devotee of one style – I find watches, like jewelry, can reflect your current mood. I love them chunky, slimline, tank, sporty, metal, leather! No one ever sees me wearing my watches these days because, much like […]

Take a Seat

April 20, 2020 by styledbykdg

I lost my ever-loving mind Friday night over, ironically, a puzzle. This sitting on the floor in an empty house, cooking with camp canteen utensils, sleeping on a mattress on the floor is testing my very ability to adapt. Friday night, I was definitely not grinning and bearing it. Then the clouds parted and the sky bloomed blue and clear. In other words, our stager came through earlier than anticipated and brought furniture this weekend. La C, my resilient little […]

It’s Friday. Friday, April 17. The year 2020. Whatever you are doing right at this moment, is what you should be doing. Just keep that in mind. There is an incessant tug of war in the media and social media that you should be doing all the things during this downtime or no, take a breath as it is okay to not do anything. Listen people, this is not a vacation, it’s not a “gift” of time. It’s survival. And […]

If I Were…

April 16, 2020 by styledbykdg

Meeting my sister for dinner tonight. My sister and I try to have fairly regular “sister bonding nights”. We hunker down in a delightful restaurant and talk for hours. And hours. It’s something I look forward to the most in my daily life. As you can imagine, while we live 15 minutes apart, we cannot see each other right now.. The hardest thing I did was look at my calendar at the beginning of March and saw our scheduled sister […]

An Ode to Will Shortz

April 15, 2020 by styledbykdg

A little known fact about me is my fondness for NPR’s Sunday Puzzle. I get so excited when I know (er, think I know) the answers, that I shout them out, startling my daughter and the dog, and miss hearing the actual answer, then I frantically ask my husband “what did they say? what did they say??”. You can guess how much fun it is for the whole family. 🙂 While we are currently living in the most puzzling of […]
