So ladies, it’s that time of year. The time where you are expected to stash away those sandals and shorts and suddenly don cable-knit sweaters and cords. Here in the Nation’s Capital it’s around 95 degrees and I have a feeling that come Tuesday the weather wills till be as hot. I can recall Halloweens… Continue Reading No White After Labor Day!

White short sleeved shirt from Ann Taylor (obviously took picture after sitting at computer and running around the house – should have steamed it), gray “Drew” trousers from Limited, red pointy-toed low heels from Steven, silver cuff, silver hoops. Hair is second day, few pieces blown out with dryer and round brush, few pieces hit… Continue Reading Thursday
