Growing up in South Georgia, we thought that “designer” clothes came from the Gap and J.Crew (and to get J.Crew clothing – you had to drive to the a). Until one day, our senior year of high school, our fabulous Aunt / Reader Dolly brought us a ripoff of the classic Kate Spade handback she had bought on the streets in NYC.
“Something has changed within me…something is not the same…” - Elphaba, Defying Gravity, Wicked
Fast forward to years later and Kate Spade still rubs us the right way. Her clothing line is so girlie and feminine – we love! However, the pricing is not so off the streets of NYC….

Working in technology, you begin to get used to the idea of “newer, better, faster.” Knowing and loving the next big thing (or in elaney’s case, sort of faking it) is not just self-indulgent, it’s also sort of part of the job requirement. That’s why sometimes there is so much pleasure in the things that don’t change. The things in your life that you know what you’re gonna get and you love they way they are (ie, Columbus GA, Reader Isa’s clothing choices, emum’s advice, Subway sandwiches, Romantic Comedies, and…Smith’s Rosebud Salve). We thought we might like this perfect product we noticed that they sold it at drug stores and Anthropologie. Smith’s Rosebud salve is a cure all of winter woes – softens lips, defrizzes hair, shapes eye brows…don’t let this product from the 1800’s leave your side from December to February. It’s like Chicken Soup for the Winter Beauty Needs.

Everyone has them. The inexplicable day when everything you put on looks. completely. horrible. Your skin tone looks weird; your hair looks bad. No one else will notice these subtle changes, but you are instantly and acutely aware of how much more attractive you were a mere 24 hours ago. Clothing Crisis! What to do? You can’t fight them, but you can prepare. Have a very plain outfit ready. Jeans, black top. J.Crew kind of day for us. Looks like the same for Jessica Alba. What do you do?!

Maybe it’s because we love eMum, maybe it’s because we like to channel our inner forty-something, but we’ve always had a little thing for the Mom bag. Then, after seeing an uber stylish looking young lady carrying an old school Dooney & Burke, we’re thinking about brown bagging it Mom style. So, what do you think about this Cole Haan bag, 50% off for $178?

We loved Diane Kruger in Jason Wu (if you can pull off that bold color, more power too you) and Kyra Sedwick in Vera Wang (so fitted and age appropriate). Also love Christina Applegate’s look. Who do you like?

Style.com is reporting that sheer materials are big for Spring 2010. We kind of think it looks like Britney Spears became European and got an office job. What do you think? Will you be incorporating sheer into your wardrobe?
