Hair Today…

February 12, 2021 by styledbykdg

Her hair was actually not Rapunzel’s greatest asset. If the pandemic has shown me anything, I’m rather more impressed by her ability not to lose her ever-loving mind through the day after day of sameness. I, however, have neither the hair nor the patience of Rapunzel. But I am trying with my hair – I am beginning to be known as Katharine the “Baby Lion” on my Zoom calls! After some stops and starts, this is my current and, I […]

Live Style Links

February 11, 2021 by styledbykdg

How is it Thursday?! In the New Year I decided to just throw myself out there and volunteer for things and say yes to finding purpose. But now I am maybe a smidge more (over)committed than I realized – this non-stop week is both refreshing and overwhelming. We are supposed to get snow here in Seattle over the next few days and I am super excited and equally super anxious as to how this city handles snow…we live on a […]

But Wait, There’s More!

February 9, 2021 by styledbykdg

One of my favorite pivots by social media influencers and bloggers during the pandemic is their monthly round up of Amazon purchases. So relatable. Aside from my weekly Amazon Fresh order, I have been indulging in some Amazon retail therapy. A lot of winners, some losers. Some items I was “influenced” to buy and some I researched and bought on my own. I thought it would be fun to share my Amazon purchases – I’ll either inspire you or freak […]

W is For…

February 8, 2021 by styledbykdg

There have been a lot of 3 letter W acronyms dominating our lives for the last year. A great majority of us our WFH due to guidelines from the WHO and juggling a new reality that makes us want to throw up our hands and say WTF. And despite the days running together Mondays still tend to hold a tinge of the old here we go again angst approach to the start of the week. Fear not. I have an […]

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

Something Similar

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 […]
