This has been an insane week.
Between work during the day and functions for work in the evening (and on some days early morning), this is the first time I’ve had a chance to sit at the computer.
And in about two minutes I have to go again.
At some point I’ll have more to post (like my 101 in 1001). In the meantime, check out this blog, Classy Girls Wear Pearls, if you are looking to figure out a great fall wardrobe.

As the weather FINALLY warms up, my thoughts are briefly drifting away from hearing from the professional and towards something far more colourful, spring fashion.
According to those people in the world of fashion that know these things – I like to pretend I am one of them, but if you saw what I wore, you might argue that point – say there is a list of clothing that every woman needs.
– a day coat
– an evening coat
– a pair of really high heels
– a black cocktail dress that travels well
– hiking boots/trail shoes
– a cozy sweater and leggings
– a sophisticated handbag
– a wrap dress
– a clutch for evening
I have about 75 per cent of those and I don’t really feel the need for a wrap dress. What I think that list is missing is a great white blouse, a fanatic fitting pair of jeans (darker denim) and a white t-shirt.
The best piece of fashion advice I ever read, I actually picked up from a fictional book – by Helen Fielding, the author behind Bridget Jones Diary – Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination.
She says pick the clothes that make you feel like doing a little dance when you put them on.
I checked back to my list of Rules for Living, it’s already there. Spring is the time for it.
What do you think about fashion advice? Is there something to be said for what magazines/media tell us or do you just do your own thing?
