Over the weekend I hit the outlet mall with a couple girlfriends, and I found the cutest pinstripe blazer at J.Crew. It didn’t fit me quite right, but it inspired my hunt for the perfect summery blazer. This one from Loft might do the trick. Also, I never thought I would say this, but I [...]

Doesn’t this look like the perfect outfit to wear on a sailboat?

Yesterday I took Daniel on his annual shoe shopping outing. He’s a tennis shoes kind of guy, but I convinced him to try on a pair of these spiffy slip ons for a change. He promptly slid them off and put the box back on the shelf. Sigh. How could he not love these? They [...]

Last week the blogosphere was abuzz with posts about Talbots’ gorgeous new lookbook, and I started considering the possibility that maybe Talbots isn’t as dowdy as I thought.
