I have a fashion dilemma. I need to find a new "go to" store. Over 50, and not the svelte young woman I used to be, I wonder what is appropriate to wear at my age. There was a time when Ann Taylor was my "go to" store. I loved almost everything in that store, and the fit was perfect for my body … [Read more...]
Tank You Very Much
April 12, 2011
I know I talk about it a lot, but I am a big fan of cardigans. But you know what you need to wear with cardigans? Something underneath. (I know, genius, right??) I'm not a huge fan of matchy-matchy twinsets, though, so I usually just find a coordinating tank and call it good. But sometimes, tank … [Read more...]
Go-To Shoe: Metallic Wedges

{Fashion Friday} Trend Alert: WHITE is HOT!
April 8, 2011
Word on the street (or in my email inbox) is that white is a must-have wardrobe staple this spring. Last year I bought a Lucky Brand white handbag that I enjoyed carrying. It wasn't a bright white - it had just a hint of bone, which keeps the white modern - we're not talking 80s white here. I am … [Read more...]

Special pricing is good this week only. This blush normally sells for $24, so if you're in the … [Read more...]
