Oh, I love how minimalist and classy this woman is:

Closet Visit: Momo Suzuki

I also really love the idea behind that blog Closet Visit -- visiting stylish, design-oriented women and seeing what's in their closets?  Genius.  SO much more interesting that seeing what's in a celebrity's closet (like what InStyle Magazine does).  Invariably you just ( Read more... )

This week I set up my payments for my most recent credit card statements, and OUCH. I think I took the "Oh, I have no boyfriend and boyfriend's family to shop for this year, so more money!" thing a little too far and spent with a bit more abandon than I should have.

I would definitely not be Joan, much as I luuuurve her. Mainly because I have no curves. Witness my purchases from Banana Republic over the weekend. I had to get something from the Mad Men line -- it's my favorite show meets one of my mainstay clothiers, how could I not?! -- and my favorite piece, alas, did not fit. In the Joan-esque Little ( Read more... )
