Summer Updates

Mid-July and it’s hot, hot, hot. I’m pulling out my favorite summer recipes and having most meals on a big farm table off the kitchen. While packing to move, I relentlessly culled my white shirts, which freed me up to replace a few. As careful as I am in the sun, I often overlooked my hands and they show it — going to test-drive the Chanel Le Lift line. And, I hear A Good Neighborhood is a good read.

  • I am enjoying A Good Neighborhood! I too have neglected my hands – thank you for the Chanel inspiration.

  • Thanks for the reminder about this recipe. I was inspired to go looking for white shirts but ended up buying a leather and an oversized Ann D instead of a practical cotton. Lockdown has made me feel free to make sartorial choices that bring joy as well as fill a need.

  • Hello Preston, you will LOVE the Chanel hand cream! As for white shirts; amazing how different each can be.

  • I tossed a bunch of boys’ button-downs and sundry white shirts that were waaaay past their wear-by date. I would look in my closet and see them so I never bought a new one. Yet, I never wore them. By throwing them out, I was freed to replace them. You can have 5 black skirts, but if you don’t wear them for whatever reason, then you really have none.

  • The Chanel hand cream really works. Even age spots are fading..

  • Can never have enough white shirts. … Kal Rieman also has nice tailored whites.

  • “You can have 5 black skirts, but if you don’t wear them for whatever reason, then you really have none.“ This comment is so true and kind of freeing. It’s inspiring a much needed closet clean out. It’s made my day. Thank you! Barbara

  • I just dyed an old white shirt a lovely coffee coloured brown and it’s got a whole new lease of life!
