Loved Julie Newmar but for me there was only one Catwomanand that was Eartha. That’s what I had on my brain when I first sawthis gray wool jersey jumpsuit by Bergdorf Goodman. See how strange mymind works? Eartha Kitt popped into my head when I pulled this jumpsuitfrom the rack and I just smiled because it took me back to my youth…

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 doesn’t even feel like rayon itfeels more like cotton with rayon, it’s just so super soft. Iabsolutely love the zipper on the back as you can see from detailphoto. This top still had the Bloomingdale’s $98 tag on it and you knowI didn’t pay anywhere near that neighborhood. This brand

It really isn’t every day that I not only find a Prada linen jacket but a blousethat matches the color to perfection. Both are from the same thriftstore to boot which makes my work so much easier.

From the moment they opened their doors J.McLaughlin established itself a
