More J. Crew

I really like the J. Crew-inspired trend of making shorts dressier. It's perfect for a climate like ours, where jeans can be too hot as early as April sometimes.

Really loving this very classic look with button down and pearls; I WILL be wearing!

I spent many years looking for short-sleeved cardigans, and they're finally out there. Again for this climate - perfect! The one I wore to rags was a great bathing suit cover up and buffer against overly aggressive air conditioning. And of course with the dressy shorts!

Fashion Week

Love this dress from Tommy Hilfiger's Fall 2009 line.

Recession Party

Something gave me an idea for a recession party. Maybe it's the discussion some friends and I had today about the sad state of the economy, and how we're all trying to cut back and don't see an end in sight anytime soon.

So, while I was cleaning up the kitchen tonight, I started thinking it would be fun to have a few friends over (dining in is the new dining out). We would serve ramen noodles, Kraft mac 'n cheese and beanie-weenies, of course on paper plates. The invitation would request casual attire at least 2 or 3 years old.

What do you think? Is this already being done? What are some other "frugal" dishes we could serve?

Late to the Party

I know, I know, this poster has become totally ubiquitous in the blogosphere, but I still wanted me one! I love the hot pink on my eggplant powder room wall. Funky, no? The funny thing is I hung it a week ago and I think my husband still hasn't seen it! I think we'll keep it that way lest he make me move it to my closet!

Tee-zer

I love the tee-shirts for sale at Rumplo online. There's one for every mood.

Check 'em out. There's literally thousands.
