Yes what’s her name is still modeling for me and I’m desperately seeking a name instead ofSusan… My eyes bugged out when I first felt this blouse and then sawthe French Connectiontag still on the rayon top.

This top still had the Bloomingdale’s $98 tag on it and you knowI didn’t pay anywhere near that neighborhood. This brand

I picked it upbecause I of course recognized the label and I thought the pattern andfabric was beautiful. Then I noticed that the buttons were on the rightside of the shirt so this t

God I know some of you are going to hate me for saying this but here it comes “I’m not normally a big fan of Lilly Pulitzer!”There I know it wasn’t easy to hear or actually to say for that matterbut the truth is I’m not a fan of this brand. To preppy for my taste…. Iguess I’ve always found this brand to be a bit on the boring and tiredside of life but these seersucker shorts with the a pink trim are justto lively for words. Lilly Pulitzer was born into socialite family inNew York, her mother was

White is one of my favorite colors, the other being orange, and I believe white is a yearround color. I know we all have heard that dreadful comment about notwearing white passed Labor day and not until Easter and my thoughts arethis “are we back in the 50′s ?” I have often wondered who started thatobnoxious statement and why did it stick with us for so long? To mewhen I even hear someone make that comment it’s like running yourfingernails over a chalk board. Who deemed this idiot all the powert
