When shopping for clothing, it is so easy to get off track. Maybe you need a new pair of trousers, but by time you leave the mall you have several bags and none of them contain a pair of pants. It’s also easy to get off track when it comes to your personal style. You… Continue Reading My Personal Shopping Rules
New sweater! I got this from Ann Taylor – it’s black, a chunky weave with dolman sleeves – I always love funky sleeves like this. I think this sweater will look fab as the weather cools – imagine it with dark skinny jeans and boots, maybe even with a short skirt and opaque tights, even… Continue Reading Wednesday Aug 25, 2010
Sorry for being MIA, I had a mini-Staycation and tried to stay as much offline as possible. The Staycation (Friday through Tuesday) wasn’t super exciting, but it was just what the doctor ordered! My goals for the time off were to stay in track with Weight Watchers, move my body every day (at least a… Continue Reading Friday – Tuesday, AKA my Staycation

Not bad, but nothing awesome.… Continue Reading Wednesday, Thursday, and Lingerie Advice Sought!
A few years ago, I wrote the post, “What Every MAN Needs in his Wardrobe.” Since then, I seem to get comments and emails about it every month, and it has been mentioned in many articles on sites all over the Web. Men’s fashion is so difficult because it is so simple. A man can’t… Continue Reading What Every Man Needs in His Wardrobe – Updated for 2010
Allie- I’ve been loving both of your fashion blogs for years and years, but especially since getting pregnant with my now 13 month old. I am still nursing her, and don’t plan to stop for a while yet, but I’m finding I really miss wearing dresses!
