Answer Angel: Comfy dress shoes that look great
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: As I’m aging, as gracefully as I can, I simply must have dress shoes with some type of heel or wedge. None of the designer brands or well-known named brands are even thinking about a woman past 50! I cannot feel completely attired without a good-looking shoe, formally or informally. Why don’t designers like Ralph Lauren, Anne Klein, Nine West, Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman, Cole Haan and more of the shoe manufacturing world realize a huge segment of the female population do not wear 4-inch spikes and we continue to dress professionally?
Make memories with this 3-ingredient ice cream recipe
When I think about my mami, 2,779 miles away in Ecuador, the kitchen is the last place I imagine her.

Ex-etiquette: If frightened by ex’s calls, call the authorities
Q. My ex and I were married for five years. He worked nights and I worked days. He would call me every day at 9 a.m. to say he was home and wish me a good morning. I was at work and thought it was cute, but then a year and a half ago I found out he was cheating with someone on his shift and I filed for divorce. He cried and begged me not to leave him, but the whole thing grossed me out and I couldn’t stay. He still calls every morning at 9 a.m. I’ve blocked him. He changed his number and continues to call. I changed my number, but my sister felt sorry for him and gave him my new number. What’s good ex-etiquette?
