Has everyone lost their ever-living-esh over the arrival of Autumn, or what? Last Saturday, I ran out for a few errands - casual laser hair removal treatment, grocery shopping, picking up a painting - wearing a pair of denim cutoffs, linen tee shirt, and rain coat. When I walked out of my building to my Lyft, [...]

Call Me Tippi Hendren
Has anyone else noticed that birds are trending in a big way? Not so long ago, I posted about a fantastic dress complete with the prettiest bird print. Birds are the next cactus, which was the next avocado, which was the next pineapple? Maybe. I have had my eye on two sets of earrings which, [...]

I was perusing the tall selection at the Banana Republic online store [...]
In The Land of Linen
I saw this linen shell and it struck me as classic, quintessential, Banana Republic.

Just for reference, this was during the early to late 1990s. Kate [...]
