Have you seen Advanced Style : The Documentary?? Ari Seth Cohen --"I roam the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks." I loved the movie and the message that personal style can advance with age!!! It inspired me to reach into my closet and style some pieces I hadn't worn in quite some time. For this post, I "shopped" my own closet and pulled out a couple of my purchases from the year Reuben was doing his fellowship in NYC over 10 years ago. …
Denim Make It A Double
I’ll take denim. And make it a double. Denim on denim is ultra classic. I use different textures, patterns, and accessories to break it up.

Of course we didn't actually slow it down, but as I reflect back on the past 2 years of online schooling at home …
Thai Inspired Warm Kale Quinoa Salad
It's been said that kale is sooooo last year, but it's still a staple in our house. Don't give in to the kale haters! I use it raw in my green juice, but I also really enjoy it cooked just slightly, so it turns bright green, and added to a salad. This salad is inspired by my Warm Kale Quinoa with Lemony Tahini Dressing, but I modified the dressing for my peanut butter-lovin' husband. I use the curly kale, because it is heartier, but if you are prefer baby kale, I would …
