I Love Clothes

I like to think I’ve curated a very user friendly wardrobe with designer classics, shopping trip one-offs, and terrific sale finds. I think I have pretty great style sense. I must, because my friends call me for fashion advice all the time!

Hard to believe you’re 21! William Henry, you make everything better from your amazingly well-timed jokes, to the care you give everyone around you, your chess game challenges, indefatigable lust for physics, unrelenting hope for the Giants, and your ability to work hard/play hard is simply inspiring! Just being in your zone, makes us all want to do and be better! You made me see how much love my heart could hold ❤️

Who doesn’t love good food! I truly believe the adage “food is medicine” but I take it a little further…medicine for the heart, body, and soul! Something delicious makes me feel loved, recharged, energized, and it’s fun! My love of good food comes from my grandmother, Mimi Maslan who always had the best hermit cookies(with raisins), an amazing brisket, or parsnip salad on hand, plus those Milano cookies were always around! Meme (she was French, meme is French for grand mother)showed love by feeding us her best dishes.

What am I making tonight? Pouring over cookbooks gets me excited for food! Healthy, tasty food! @ottolenghi

"This last year opened our eyes to the importance

"This last year opened our eyes to the importance of connections and community; they keep us anchored. As a storyteller, I love hearing others' stories about their lives, and they always inspire me — sometimes professionally, sometimes personally." said my friend Val.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The openness she talks about, being ready to listen, ask questions with trust and care, sets the foundation for making a connection with someone.

I write about her experiences and insights on the Violet&Verve blog and in the Newsletter. Check out what you can learn from her at the link in my bio. And connect!
