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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I feel myself mentally fast forwarding toward spring. Maybe it is my new exercise regime putting a pep in my step. Maybe it is our warm weather trip confirmed for February. Maybe it is wishful thinking every day I wake up to rain yet again. So if you too have a bluebird sitting on your should waiting…here are some things that caught my eye for the slow slouch toward spring. LL Bean Women’s Cotton/Cashmere Polo Sweater (Solid $59.95 & Stripes […]

Several thought leaders and social media influencers have stated that they feel like the new year is just starting now, today. It has taken folks a few weeks to get here. To wrap up 2023. To shake off the holidays. To just process the state of affairs — our own and the tattered, worn-down proverbial state of affairs. I’ll gladly take this grace to jumpstart the blog today for a new year. As fun and sometimes perplexing What’s In and […]
