A Shade of Spade
This post is a tough one to tackle. On one hand, I want to laugh and talk about the brilliant autobiography from one of my favorite comedians and actors, David Spade. And, at the same time, I want to respectfully pay homage to one of America’s greatest designers and self-starters, Kate Spade, sister-in-law of theContinue reading “A Shade of Spade”

Parton me. My Love of Dolly.

Kennedy died, and it stuck with me then how profoundly impactful this event and personContinue reading “My First Fashion Icon. No Kidding.”
