The art of layering
Sometimes more is, well, more
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
It would be relevant and timely to do some sort of “football fashion” etiquette for this week.
However, I find it difficult to concentrate on the Super Bowl for longer than Madonna’s half time show. In fact, I enjoy watching the commercials more than anything else. (Confident that I am not alone on this one)
SO,...
A home ‘party’ everyone can have fun at
Stella & Dot offers fashion items for virtually any budget
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
We have all been invited to a million “home” parties over the years: candles, kitchen supplies, make-up, skincare, etc.
You dread getting the invitation and dread even more actually showing up and feeling pressured into purchasing something that you know you will NEVER use.
Listen,...
Taking myself ‘Out’
The deep, dark secrets of my closet
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
This is a preemptive strike. I’ll admit it. I’m not afraid.
My husband has been threatening to “out” me ever since I started this column. And, he is playing basketball tonight and has no idea that I’m stealing his thunder…
You see, I am a contradiction of sorts. On the one hand, I absolutely...
Beat the cold weather blahs with new fashions
Colored denims, new nail colors, other tips can help make a frosty day bearable
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
With the mild winter we’ve been experiencing lately, I feel a bit guilty whining about how “OVER” the cold I am…with just a tease of snow on Halloween and nothing since, I may be jinxing everyone with my complaining.
I am not a fan of frigid temperatures. I...
With every Christmas card I blight…
Once a nice gesture, cards are becoming a production number
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
Christmas cards.
In the past few years they have gone from a nice gesture to a pressure cooker for the world’s greatest Glamour shot…have you noticed?
Gone are the days when you could run to Hallmark and find a box with a snowman on the front. Now, you look like a slacker if you don’t...
Dear Santa: what not to bring…please?
A must-not-have list for the fashion conscious
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
Dear Santa,
I have been a (relatively) good girl this year.
For example:
1. I try not to scream at my children (in public)
2. I always put my shopping cart back in the little holding area after grocery shopping (even in the rain)
3. I never let people see me rolling my eyes when they act like morons.
I...
Walking in heels and other wisdom
A few easy steps, if you will, to looking and feeling better in high heels
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the 40th birthday party of a very lovely friend.
Prior to going to a fantastic dinner, we sat and had cocktails in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
Who knew there would be such fabulous people watching at the Ritz?!?
One...
Don’t be a turkey for the holidays
One must dress — and dress one’s family — for the right holiday mood
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
If you affirm something out loud to the universe, does it happen?
Because, as seen in my previous article, I am already BFF’s with Kelly Ripa. Check that one off the list.
My second fashion fantasy?
Befriending Tory Burch. And, hey, she is a Main Line girl originally….so,...
Changing up your make up
Or how Kelly learned to move beyond the ‘same-old, same-old’ at a local shop
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
I am NOT low maintenance. I get that. HOWEVER, when it comes to make-up, I am. Truly.
Notice my “**BEFORE” photo:
**I was not purposefully trying to look depressed in my “BEFORE” photo, fyi.
Proper make-up application is a daunting prospect for...
Kelly’s close encounter with…Kelly?
Up close and personal with noted talk show host in NYC
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, UnionvilleTimes.com
My plan this week was to write about the inappropriateness of Halloween costumes. More specifically, how women take the night as the opportunity to dress like street walkers.
OR, how about those select few grown-ups who choose to dress up alongside of their children to trick-or-treat? I find...
