Lately I’ve come to love these half-breed T-shirt Blouses. They’re made of jersey cotton, and they are super comfortable, like regular t-shirts. The difference is they are styled to drape nicely, with details usually around the neckline. Many designs use gathers to create flow. This shirt is a perfect example, and I’m quite surprised it’s on sale, considering the style is popular for Spring, and the color is Spring appropriate as well.

This great little store in San Francisco called My Trick Pony specializes in custom design apparel. You can create your own T-shirt (mainly but not only) by using spray, transfer or airbrush techniques. Smart.

the little black dress

It’s that time of year. Time to pull out the dress hidden in the closet or time to go buy something spectacular for that next holiday party. Or should I say, parties.

them rubber boots

I am the Imelda Marcos of rubber shoes. I can’t control myself. I am obsessed with them. The first time you hose off the yuck from your boots after a long day in the garden (think dogs), you experience this pleasure probably best compared to the first shower after a 3-day camping trip….  I was so, so, so close to clicking that final check out button, then I remember google.

Less than a minute later, I found these at Target.com. I have never shopped Target.com before. Can I tell you how totally stoked I was when 12 different styles of rubber boots showed up? And for $13.99-$19.99? Woo Hoo. Check out the Camou ones. I ordered those. And the black. And another. Yes, that makes three. (In addition to the three I four I already own. Told you I was Imelda of rubber boots. Bet you didn’t take me seriously.)

a basic . the trench coat

trench coat.jpgA must-have basic. Too light-weight for a serious winter, but a place such as San Francisco, it’s perfect all-year round.  Goes with everything except formal wear. Seriously, get rid of all the other unattractive jackets that you “can’t throw away” because “you paid so much for it” because “it’s still in good condition” because “keeping warm is what’s important.”

Listen, it’s outdated, and it’s ugly. You know what I’m talking about.
