I had the cutest outfit planned for today, friends. But when I woke this morning, I found myself in the throes of painful, violent, relentless … er … let’s just call ’em intestinal woes. And the last thing I wanted was a pair of skinny jeans squeezing my tum and nethers. So out came the ponte, the jersey, and the engulfing sweater coat. Plus those fabulously slipper-like Fryes. The skinnies can wait until my innards have stopped rebelling. read more

Casual Outfit Roundup: Week of February 13 … Plus New York Recap

by Sally on February 19, 2011 in the category: outfits

Oh, my dears, New York was truly amazing. It felt a little ridiculous to go for Fashion Week, have the opportunity to squeeze myself into a runway show or two, and instead opt to just hang with friends … but not TOO ridiculous. Fashion Week happens every whipstitch, and I just wanted to soak up the awesome that came off my friends in big, loving waves.

I went to school in upstate New York, so some of my dearest friends in the world are in NYC. It felt so renewing to spend time with them again. I’ve got a high school bud who defected to Brooklyn ages ago, and was lucky enough to spend my Valentine’s dinner in her amazing presence. Also had a chance to visit the astonishing Eileen Fisher showroom, an experience that merits its own post. But, of course, I assume you’re mainly interested in hearing about the blogger meet-ups. And they were BOUNTIFUL. read more
