Some lasting gifts for Mothers Day
Flowers, breakfast in bed are nice, but fashion is forever
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Aaaaah, Mother’s Day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping. You are trying to relax.
As you read this, do you smell burnt toast wafting from the kitchen? Can you hear the clanging of 40 (or so) pots and pans being thrown into the sink (heaven forbid loaded into the dishwasher...
Not exactly the Facebook of fashion
Or, how to keep your Facebook friends, friends
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Yes, I know that this does not really have ANYTHING to do with fashion. BUT, you are a captive audience and this is what I’m in the mood to discuss today…
Let’s do this!
Turning up the heat: what not to wear
With summer-like heat coming, don’t lose your head or fashion sense
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
The rumor is the thermometer will hit the mid-80’s today and a few days this week! Yipppeeeee!
I am more than ready to ditch my heavy jacket and leave my boots permanently in the closet!
The initial tease of summer brings radiant sunshine, brilliant blue skies and glorious...
You are (wearing) what you eat
Guys, with careful planning, a food stain or six can still give you that couture look
EDITORS NOTE: Our normal Sunday fashion columnist is unavailable this week. Something about a tire iron and her mechanic at the Mercedes dealership. She will return to this space next week, assuming she makes bail, with exclusive coverage of the Chester County Jail fashion show.

The sky is not the limit for fashion
You can still travel by air and look good doing so
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
We are rapidly approaching Spring Break week and many will be jetting off to exotic locations! (Exception = Hockenberry family, who, thanks to a $3,000 car repair bill, will be firmly planted in good ol’ Unionville)
I must say that I have old fashion values when it comes to flying. I long for...
Driving home a fashion choice
Are you really what you drive?
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Does the car you drive reflect your sense of style?
One could make an argument for it, certainly. But, truth be told, I’m not that much of a car fanatic.
You know how some people are extremely knowledgeable about what brand/make/model is the “best”? (Exhibit A: my brother-in-law)
I’m NOT one of those...
A list to celebrate a birthday
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
This weekend marks the 1st birthday of this column!
Yes, it’s true!
And, I have had THE BEST TIME writing an article every week for the past twelve months.
I must admit that I find it hysterical when I hear people describe my fashion opinions/musings as “controversial.” As if telling women that they deserve to wake up in the morning and...
The personal touch matters
A monogram can make something more than special: it can make it yours
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I was born and raised in Delaware County.
However, I firmly believe that I was a Southern belle in a past life.
And, I know this because I love to use the word “y’all”.
And, I will buy any item of clothing with a polka dot, bow or sparkle on it.
And, most importantly, if...
Mastering your shopping technique
What’s 10,000 hours or so between friends?
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Have you heard of Malcom Gladwell’s book, “Outliers-The Story of Success”?
Well, the basic premise is that to become truly successful at any given task, one must commit to 10,000 HOURS of practice.
That means, in order to “master” your goal on a world-class level, you have to practice 6...

A visual guide on scarf tying options
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
One of my most frequently asked questions regarding a winter wardrobe is…
“HOW DO I TIE A SCARF?”
Here are three easy ways that you may have never seen (or attempted) before.
I will try my best to explain the concept, but, have included pictures to help those of you who are visual learners, like myself…
