Forward thinking a little bit, I can’t wait to start wearing cardigans again. I didn’t start wearing cardigans until about 2 years ago which coincided with the ruffle trend. It’s strange how this item that was considered staid and old became fresh again so quickly. I see women wearing cardis even now when it’s mid-80s and humid to high heaven.…
Does anyone else think it’s completely unnecessary to revisit clothing trends from the 1980s? And the 1990s for that matter? I’m convinced that 20 years was not all that long ago. I’ve enjoyed the return of the 1940s over the last several months. The only thing more depressing than a recession is having to wear the same clothing as I…

In other words, this is a long post!…
Pity the fitting room staff because I am on a mission to try on 1,000,000 items of clothing in the next month or so. Well, not really. It just feels that way. I am scouring stores helping my talented stylist friend pick up fall clothing for her clients. And of course my friend has sent me to Anthropologie to check…
One of the finer points in life is having friends who wear the same size clothing as you. Or in this case, shoes. Why break the bank when you can split the bill? I have two partners in crime in a size 9 and we’ve each invested in a pair of Anthropologie sandals to trade among us. First up are…
