Hello NYC
Now that the 4/18 Club has been established, my trips to NY will always begin with a board meeting called by Mlle President, Lil A, this time at a darling French bistro La Bonne Soupe: She wants a full briefing on (1) the damage I’ve sustained in her town (dress...
Uh Oh In NYC
The Big Apple and this fashion loving gal? That can only mean trouble…and why I’ve not had enough time to write you here. One does need more than 24 hours a day in this town if one also wants to sleep! Uh oh in NYC…wonder what that could be in such a...
Wardrobe Palette
So a few entries ago I posted pics of the sage outerwear I found from BR that will be the basis of my wardrobe palette for this trip. As it turns out, I don’t really want to look like I’m on safari every day of the week so I added two more colorways, the...
Hang In There, Japan
With Libya now on the front pages, I hope we are still doing what we can to support the relief efforts in Japan. Their days ahead are long and troubled. I know we are burned out from all the natural disasters that don’t seem to stop, but I also know the American...
Don’t you Want A Chance To Miss Me?
The problem with using a big bag is the temptation to haul all your necessities and the kitchen sink simply because you have all that space. So as you limp around with one shoulder weighed down by all these things that you don’t need but have in your bag just in...
Bananas for Banana
I first fell in love with Banana Republic, many years ago, when I saw their safari-inspired clothes. This was way before I got to go on my first safari, but in my mind, I always dreamed of being in Africa in the perfect bush jacket and khaki riding pants. Then the...
The Cardigan Will Look Cute
I know, I know, this one entry per week is no way to run a blog, but I’ve half a mind these days with looming deadlines (and still no decision on a travel bag for the upcoming trip!). So yesterday while multitasking on my bff (aka my smart phone) while standing...
Something Green For St. Patrick’s Day
This past trip went by so fast I didn’t even get to blog about it. My schedule was so full that I never did get to squeeze in those few hours to “research” options at the store for my big trip. But the good news is that I have mentally identified the...
The Road Thus Far
Remember when I started the FIMTSO series I referenced Imelda Marcos? Not that I find kinship in this former First Lady’s shopaholic ways but sometimes I can totally relate to why she’d buy multiples of certain things. In my case, I won’t (anymore)...
Dior No More?
I’ve never understood our culture’s fanatic obsession with celebrity. More specifically, I don’t get the need to over-share every single detail about anyone’s life, whether you are a public figure or a figure in my private life. I know in this...
