Dayna Kathan’s Metallic Mini Dress

Season 8 Episode 20 Vanderpump Rules Fashion

Dayna Kathan’s metallic mini dress caught my eye in her IG photo and as I looked at it I realized that I had actually seen it befor, but could not think of where. Then BBH’s Lauren reminded me that Denise Richards’ also wears it during her confessionals on this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which is funny because I know I have looked for it before when I originally saw it on her, but had no such luck. However must have been my lucky day (mainly because Lauren gave me a hint) and the dress was found. It’s always nice when you get lucky every so often, isn’t it? Especially if you’re Dayna and it comes without having two men boys constantly arguing over you.

Sincerely Stylish,

Katie Maloney’s Red Cutout Jumpsuit

Vanderpump Rules Season 8 Finale Fashion

Katie Maloney was a lady in red at the TomTom first anniversary part on last night’s Vanderpump Rules season 8 finale. Her red lips complimented her red jumpsuit, and I loved the crystal strap detail on the piece which totally leveled it up. I won’t lie, the boob situation on this particular piece may be hard for many. But if you can survive a night at TomTom with this crew like Katie did, you’re ready to face just about any challenge life brings you, even if it’s with your wardrobe.

I would guess that most people who know me see me as a cheerful older woman, with a good life and little to complain about. All this is true. Yet, at the same time, I can feel myself turning into a Grumpy Old Woman.

There are several things that I find increasingly annoying. Unfortunately, I can’t write about all of them, so here are just a few.

Mobiles

There you are, quietly walking down the street, when someone walks into you because their head is in their phone.

Or you see them coming and you stop, completely still. They look up and say “Oh, sorry,” as if they couldn’t see that walking along blindly is bound to cause someone trouble at some point.

Backpacks

And, while on the subject of public places, I get very irritated by thoughtless people with backpacks. They are especially annoying in tight spaces, such as a bus or train, when they turn around and the pack crashes into you.

I have long thought that backpackers should be required to pass a driving test on managing body space. It might help them learn that their dimensions are extended hugely by their packs.

Going to a Movie

It used to be a joy to go to a movie – you would have the odd advertisement or trailer, and then sit back and enjoy the film. Not any more.

There is the couple across the aisle who insist on unwrapping their sweets (candies) one by one throughout the course of the film. Do they not realise that doing this slowly is no quieter, but just prolongs the agony? Perhaps that has always been a problem, but I am becoming less tolerant.

But what is new at these scene are the people who must check their phone. Even if they don’t talk, the light is incredibly distracting. I do think people should be able to forget their phone for the brief duration of a film.

And everyone seems to need to eat. Some cinemas even offer full course meals to their patrons, which might be nice for the hungry person but pays no thought to the person sitting next to them.

Selfies

The very word ‘selfie’ denotes the modern generation. In our day, we never had to show that we were there, wherever ‘there’ was.

The worst is in picture galleries, where the rooms are full of people with their phones and, where allowed, phone sticks. They don’t seem remotely interested in the paintings themselves, but only in showing the world that they have seen them.

Perhaps there should be fake galleries, intended just for them, so the rest of us could enjoy paintings in peace.

Airports

Everyone seems to love to travel and to talk about the marvellous places they have visited. But they never tell you about the airport. Is it just me or are airports getting worse?

I can manage the discomfort of airplanes themselves, although there is little to recommend the time you spend strapped into a small seat.

But what gets me down is the stress of getting to the airport in time, with the underlying threat that if you aren’t there two hours in advance, they won’t let you on the plane.

The worst is the airport itself. You’re stuck there for ages, surrounded by multitudes of people. Hardly anywhere to sit down, but shops and more shops everywhere. I don’t like shopping at the best of times, and I certainly do not want to do so in an airport when I have enough to carry as it is.

And then there is the ladies room. Toilets still function as normal, but modern sinks are becoming a kind of intelligence test.

How do you obtain simple running water? Some new-fangled taps have parts to push up or down or sideways – but which? Or they have electronic gizmos that don’t seem to recognise my hands. Do the architects of such contraptions think we automatically know how they work?

Grumpy and Grouchy

Yes, I am becoming a grumpy old woman. I don’t know whether I am more annoyed by other people or by the increasing presence of modern technology. All I know is that sometimes all my good cheer gets taken away.

Are you becoming a grumpy older woman? Do you recognise the things that annoy me? What additional things annoy you? Let’s discuss them in the comments below.

Raquel Leviss’ Black Lace Dress at Tom Tom

Vanderpump Rules Season 8 Finale Fashion

Although I wouldn’t always think of sweet Raquel Leviss as a match for a black lace dress—it’s like me in floral or something super girly, it never seems to quite match my personality—the bow and floral embellishment detail on this particular piece made it the perfect match for the pretty Pump cast member.

Raquel and her BF James Kennedy are a couple of the few Pump cast members that ended the season drama free and on a high note. I’m super happy for them both that James got sober and Raquel was there to back him up. So here’s to sending good vibes to Miss Leviss and her closet in the off season.
