Structured garments
I was watching TV show "What Not to Wear." I did not see the entire show so I might have missed something. The woman apparently was wearing too much of a "fairy princess" look. They held up one garment that was a top that was kind of floaty, gossame

Hermes fall scarf catalogue. Some gorgeous scarves. Especially the cashmere/silk blended one. In orange. Also lovely Caroline's card (she works at the Hermes shop in Chicago). I blame this entirely on Trilby. Clearly Caroline was motivated

L'Oreal Cashmere Perfect mini-review

[media] Hair Goes Over the Top
They say that loose, wavy hair is in, which is good for me. Some time ago I was blow-drying my hair straight (or trying to anyway) but now I keep it in a towel for about an hour or so and then let it air dry. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,13433

Pottery barn bedding
I love how pottery barn bedding looks. But they are so expensive. Do you know where I can find similar style duvets or comforters elsewhere? Foleys and Dillards seem to just have bed-in-a-bag and it looks so old-fashioned to me. Any ideas?

Got a bit frustrated at ON maternity recently when I tried a bunch of pants and none of them fit in the thigh area. Ironic as I don't have this problem in their regular capris & pants. So, does anyone know which brands, like Gap, Liz Lange, the usua

Thoughts about Yanuk jeans?
I don't see much discussion about these. I just got my first pair and it's LOVE!! I didn't even know they existed, but while in Denver last month I had drinks w/ a friend who lives out there and she had on the "worker" jean. They looked AMAZING. I

SLG's (Sexy Librarian Glasses): pictures of examples?
Back in December of last year I had to get new glasses and forgot to ask AF for assistance. My sister was very busy and not available for advice either. I did the best I could but I don't think I did a "great" job chosing my frames based on my nee

My sneakers make me happy
I'm not really a sneaker girl. When I wear sneakers, they usually make me feel sloppy -- probably because I usually only wear them when I am dressed sloppily. I've only ever had running shoes in various shades of white and feel like they look clun
