I don’t live close to the border, so cross-border shopping… Continue Reading Reader Question – Canadian Style Bloggers?
For full details on the weekend (where I stayed, where I ate, what diapers I put on my daughter’s butt) you can read my recap on my baby blog, Me & Emerson Elaine. Here, I will recap the wardrobe!

I notice that you wear a lot of dresses,… Continue Reading Ask Allie – Nursing and Wearing Dresses

The bootcut jean stayed way past its prime, as did the empire waist, the peasant top (well… Continue Reading To Belt or Not to Belt?
Dress: Ann Taylor (bought last spring)Shoes: Sofft Pearls: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (two different necklaces) I had a major pearl kick a couple years ago (seen here and through much of ’06 and ’07).
