Sometimes....

A small spurge is just what you need....

From the Luxist...

Beautiful New Tiffany Keys for $200 or Less...

Yeah, yeah I know. With money so tight, yadda, yadda. Nobody agrees more than me.

But I find the charm adorable - and if you're looking for that very special gift for a very special person (and yes, that could be yourself - say a 50th or 60th birthday gift to you?), I think this could fit the bill!

Halluyah!...

The new Liz Claiborne New York is "fully" available on line!

Now I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed that not every piece that was originally posted collection is available on the site (what's up with that?!?!?), but at least all sizes are up and shopable!

What I am I loving the most from the online selection?....

The ladies over at....

The delish The Three Tomatoes are talking the sleek legal eagle outfits from Damages...

Those fabulous wardrobes on Damages

Glenn Close does look amazing in those suits doesn't she! And I'm a true believer in putting a great looking shirt with just about any work outfit! (But trust me - no outfit I own is $5,000! Yowser!)

The wonderful...

Fashion Under $100.00 features two more outfits that can definitely work for the 50+ gal....


Cindy Crawford's Look for $91.30

Yes, your figure has to be somewhat trim, I think, to pull this one off. But I love the top - it stylishly addresses the whole upper arm thing, don't you think?

Michelle Obama's Look for $99.56

I love the easy elegance of this look and, once again, the upper arm issue is handled with ease in this outfit.

A couple of great posts....

Over at Wardrobe 911...

What to Makeup: Ageless Foundation, in which Ms. Thersa puts CoverGirl and Olay's: Simply Ageless foundation to the test.

What to Wear: Relaxed Business Casual

It's always a tricky thing doing the casual outfit for work (especially when you're 50 +!) - this one pulls it off beautifully!

Can we be approaching...

The middle of spring already? (With snow falling in the Rocky's, it's hard to believe!)

Be that as it may, Ms. Angie over at youlookfab is giving a mid-season assessment of the Spring 2009 fashion landscape....

Spring 2009 Mid-Season Rants and Raves

I have to say I agree with her on many points! I haven't seen much that makes me say "gee, I have to add that to my spring wardrobe" either - through I do credit some of that to the paucity of my purse!

Right on too regarding the scarcity of light spring jackets - it's one of the few clothing items I actually need this spring(My old one has had it!), but there aren't many out there to choose from and, as yet, I haven't found one that I like enough to buy!
