I am getting ready for a 2 week trip with my husband to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We are going to be in the city and in the country with weather ranging from the 40’s to the 70’s, give or take, so I need a wide range of garments…
A detachable hood is the perfect accent for a spring coat like the It’s a Spectacle Jacket we have been considering for the last two weeks. (Week one was about designing the jacket, week two took a close look at the zipper and collar details.) It’s easy to see the…

Every morning when getting dressed I experience the bliss of pulling on a pair of pants that fit. Since it is Thanksgiving week and I am counting my many blessings, I am mindful of the little things that keep me moving through the day with ease. In the morning, I…
