It has been HOT in California during the last couple of week. There’s no longer any doubt that spring is here, and it feel like we might even be in for a very long summer. I’ve already started digging through the back of my closet looking for last summer’s outfits and can’t wait to get [...]

Elle reports this month that white will be the new black, or the new denim, or…it’s always hard to tell what we’re up to. Crisp white suits and accessories, white boots and oversized white belts, certainly do make for a striking ensemble. However, if you’re part of the regular population, like me, it’s a very [...]

What happens between the time you make a purchase and it arrives at your door? Firstly, I send you an email thanking you for the sale and giving an estimate of when your order will ship. You should also receive a notice from PayPal telling you you sent money, but I think a personal touch [...]
