Capsule Wardrobe 2013 Accent: Nectarine, in a warm palette
January 10, 2013
Someone asked "Why all the focus on Pantone colors?"
Well, for no reason that I understand, Pantone is the organization making color "recommendations" twice a year which seem to be heeded by a wide variety of businesses. Housewares, bedding, clothing - all sorts of things will be manufactured in these colors in the next 2 years.
From our perspective, if one of these colors is a favorite, this is the time to start looking for it to appear in stores!
If you are interested in seeing more, you can find the latest Pantone Color Planner and other documents in the Planning Documents section of the website.

An important cause, two beautiful scarves
These scarves are a beautiful thank you gift, which you will receive when you make a $95 donation to the Fistula Foundation.
One of the lovely women at tea yesterday was wearing the scarf on the left. I can personally vouch that the silk is lovely, and that the colors are rich and elegant.
And the work done by this foundation is literally life-changing.
Elegant, and kind. The essence of style, and of humanity. ... View the Post

The first step to shopping self-control
January 3, 2013
If your email is anything like mine, you get dozens of emails every day from everybody from whom you've EVER made an internet purchase. And there's nothing wrong with that; they're in the business of selling things...
But it is NOT your responsibility to keep anybody in business - except yourself. Just because you once made a purchase from someone does NOT mean that you have to be kept abreast of every thing that they put on sale, or that enters their inventory.
If you're afraid that you'll forget about a really great website, bookmark it. And then get yourself OFF of all of these mailing lists. Five minutes before the email arrived, you didn't think that you needed a new ... View the Post
