I love me some Tim Gunn. He’s handsome, suave, intelligent and a man in the industry who still believes that style is more important than current trends. I have been a Project Runway fanatic for every season, but after reading several reviews wasn’t too eager to see his new show – Tim Gunn’s Guide to… Continue Reading We’ll Have to Agree to Disagree
Dear Gap, Do know I love you, and I have loved you for a very long time. When I turned 16 I headed to my nearby Super Gap (think it was a precursor to Old Navy) and turned in a job application. You never called (maybe because I was 16 and had no experience?) but… Continue Reading Open Letter to GAP

I bought a few things recently from Banana Republic (everything too big except this dress), Gap (nice new tees but their European line is disappointing and will be returned) and Nordstrom (everything ugly) and then of course Sephora.

Black ribbed tank from Caslon, white and black sequin-trimmed gypsy skirt from Marshall’s, black leather thong heels from Mossimo, silver hoops and cuff bracelet. Brought along my black ponte knit jacket from Banana Republic Outlet in case it was cold in the restaurant. Hair… Continue Reading Sunday
Started the day with yoga. Teal scoop-necked tee from Gap, black jersey harum pants from C.enne.V. Hair was second day, brushed out. No makeup. No face picture either, sort of pointless if i didn’t do my makeup or hair! After yoga, I dashed to the grocery for some necessities, then puttered around the house getting… Continue Reading Saturday
I have been working with reader and friend ZenRose and she has helped me create the new banner for this blog. Be patient as we get all the kinks out, but I am so excited to have this blog’s look really come together. Big thanks to ZenRose, who took my “eh, I dunno what I… Continue Reading New Look!
