Looking Back:
2012 – one of my readers had a piece of jewelry that she wanted to wear more, and so I suggested What to wear with a necklace: peacock.
2013, May 12th – Paris never ceases to amaze…
2013, May 13th – It’s always difficult to figure out how to pack when the airline limits are really tight, so I made some suggestions about Packing for a warm-weather vacation, in red & navy.

Since it's such a small part of the whole picture, I know it would only be an accent, but without it, the picture would lose some of it's vibrancy. Any thoughts???

May 13, 2014 at 11:26 amOooh, I looked long and hard at that color, and finally decided that it should be worn on the lips of each of us. Or maybe a lovely pedicure….

May 13, 2014 at 6:59 pmOoh, I do love those colours! So vibrant but so sophisticated. I think I could get away with the tobacco colour on my bottom half and in accessories. I love that colour in leather shoes.

May 13, 2014 at 8:11 pmLove love love this! I've never thought of putting black, brown, and blue together, but I realize now it's my favorite palette! I've been reading your blog for quite a while now but have never commented. Thank you, Janice, for your wonderful work. Your sense of both the practical and the beautiful is unmatched!

February 5, 2017 at 10:18 pmIf you're still not sure what kind of earrings to buy, the best thing to do is browse through your options. Fortunately, jewelry buyers no longer have to go to some store in the mall with limited choices and pushy salespeople. Quality emerald earrings
