Winter is Coming…

If you were like me, you may have joined in on Game of Thrones very late. My husband coaxed me to watch, although I was afraid of all the violence. But I became hooked, and I was especially interested because it was filmed in Iceland, a beautiful place we visited almost two years ago. You […]

The Way People Used to Dress…

Indianapolis Fashionistas, I’ve had family visiting this week, and part of our tasks was to go through old photos and decide what to keep, etc. It was fun!

What’s Vogue in Canada…

Hello Indianapolis Fashionistas, I am just returning from a short, really fun trip abroad to Montreal, Canada.
