Look fabulous
« Previous Entries Next Entries »When you need fashion most is in the hospital

And when you need to feel best is in the hospital.
Healing Threads offers alternative hospital gowns in flattering colors, and gowns that open up only when you want your doctor looking, and not from behind as you’re walking to the visitor’s lobby.

What would Sigmund Freud say?
Sometimes a cigar box gets reincarnated as a fashionable bag.
And the fact that this one is decorated with a poster from the vintage epic Ben-Hur, well, what more could you want?

Can I just say I love my new present?
My husband, guided by my best friend just a little, went to JC Penney for Christmas and got me an eight-drawer jewelry armoire. It’s on sale now for $179.99. I love the color. I love the giant drawers that are so big, I can fit my old […]

The Man of Steel in your life, when masquerading as a mild-mannered reporter, may be more comfortable without his cape if he has these Superman cuff links, which might fly out of the store at $65 from Johnston & Murphy.

Since I was the one girl who wanted to play with the boys’ toys, I’m always on the lookout for car-and-truck themed accessories for my young friends who also have a thing for wheels.
So when I saw these New York City checkered taxi barrettes, I immediately knew I had found a hit. Who wouldn’t love […]

At the Walking Company to stock up on foot luxuries (so I can walk to more stores) I stumbled upon these cozy-looking socks by Umberto Raffini.
“Bamboo,” the salesman said. And indeed, they’re 65 percent bamboo fiber.
Knowing how quickly bamboo grows (have you ever tried to keep it from spreading in your garden?) I thought I […]

I love pearls and I love chocolate and I love eating chocolate while wearing pearls! So naturally when I spotted the strand of uniquely colored pearls under the glass at Gordon Jewelers in Boonville Missouri, I was awe struck. Roz gave me this “I know” look and pulled them out for me to begin my […]
I’m going to stuff all my things in a Flee bag
This one bag can solve all my problems, and keep me looking fabulous at the same time. So I’m just going to stuff all my stuff in a Flee bag and keep shopping.
You see, after taking a wrong turn off the Mass. Pike (I-90 for you non-Bostonians), I found myself in Newton looking at the […]

Meet Robyn.
Thinking I was ready to again force myself into painful but delicate shoes, I stumbled upon these shoes by Dansko at Union Boot. The style is “Robyn” and the color Lapis and the price is just $80!
Now I realize beauty feels no pain. There is no pain. These are made with cushion on the […]
