Shaken or Stirred

February 24, 2025 by styledbykdg

“Dry martini,Jigger of gin,Oh, what a spell you’ve got me in,Oh my, do I feel high…” Scotch & Soda by the Kingston Trio Years ago we wanted to host a Christmas party but the chance of wedging ourselves into everyone’s holiday schedule was slim. So we decided to hold the party in February when pretty much no one is having a big shindig but everyone could really use one. Thus, Frosty Cocktails was born. THE SET UP*: We have now […]

It’s Been a Minute

WHAT I AM CRAVING The Reboot in Crave – Frame $268 The perfect cut. The perfect color. Who are we kidding – Forget craving, I am actually buying these. WHAT I AM READING This NY Times article on Gen X women and sex probably did not get the play it deserves. And at risk of my teen daughter’s embarrassment – I raise it to your eye level. (If you cannot access it let me know.) Y’all, Gen X women have […]

WALRUS

February 17, 2025 by styledbykdg

I am truly sorry I was unable to give you some StyledbyKDG last week. I just could not. Most of the work behind a blog is being everpresent online and on social media, constantly pecking for seeds of what is now and what is next. And for the last 10 days I could not. I could not face reality. That meant no online presence – no NPR, no Instagram, no Facebook, no NY Times, no Wall Street Journal, no AP, […]

Hello Weekend!

February 7, 2025 by styledbykdg

Looking forward to a busy weekend! We are headed to a White Ford Bronco show at the 9:30 Club tonight – going full old school in both music and venue. Saturday is our daughter’s ACT test so we’ll be simultaneously pacing and running errands while she is doing her thing. We also have my sister and my annual joint family birthday dinner – our birthdays are a week apart by a few years so every year we plan a joint […]

It’s Been a Moment

February 5, 2025 by styledbykdg

WHAT I’M CRAVING Paolo Coat in Navy – Sezane $365 Loving this transitional jacket for winter to spring. The jacket is a giving chic but casual peacoat vibes. This coat will work well across the board – jeans, dresses, professional. The navy is classic and versatile. WHAT I AM WATCHING My husband’s best friend and one of our daughter’s godparents is an ER doc in California. We kind of think he and his wife are the coolest and when either […]

The Office

February 3, 2025 by styledbykdg

I recognize this post holds so many feelings for so many right now. I went ahead with my planned post because we need to meet everyone where they are right now. Some of us are inexplicably in limbo, some of us are physically fighting to retain the legitimacy of our professions, some of us have to keep toeing the line… I had moved back to DC in July to get a job back in the federal government where I had […]

Aquarius Celebrating

January 31, 2025 by styledbykdg

Art work by Beyond Embroidery Art **This was supposed to be published 1/31/25 but due to a technical snafu we are live today!** I am a January Aquarius – IYKYK. Since I was a child, I have greatly disliked my birthday. Not because I am getting older – I have an oddly sanguine obliviousness to the passage of my own time and age, though not that of others. But that is a post for a different time. Birthdays, to me, […]

Tell Me I Look Good

January 29, 2025 by styledbykdg

Some people have a specific physical trait of which they are particularly proud. I have rather good eyelashes, fairly good hair, and a really great neck. I am very proud of my neck. I’d like to thank good Danish genes and an oddly obsessive compulsive neck focused skin care regime. For many years I was a fair weather skin care follower. My night time cleansing track record was, sketchy, to say the least. Some mornings I have been known to […]

It’s Been a Minute…

January 27, 2025 by styledbykdg

A lot happened in the past year. The CliffsNotes version – After four years in Seattle, Styled by KDG moved back home to Washington, DC. Well, Bethesda, for a particular school district for my daughter, but home. Having all the feels over the last six months – things are the same but different, different but the same, and yet familiar. Oh so familiar. How I’ve missed the familiarity of friends who know everything about you, roads that you know where […]
