TOM FORD @ Bergdorf Goodman exclusively

Black Orchid Lipstick $45

now, come on, ladies...we all want at least ONE Tom Ford item, don't we?

$45 for a lipstick, boy-o-boy it had better be the BEST lip color and texture on the planet

to pay this price.

So, here we see the designer looks translated by the mass marketers into

items our daughters might wear.  And, you know, our daughters don't want

timeless apparel, they want "happening, new" outfits, just like I did when

I was 20-something (only about 7 years ago :)'s  ).


IMPORTANT, LeAnn Brown @ Linen & Lavender is now a member of

I am so fortunate to have the array of vastly talented women around our world
participate with me on this monthly event.  The links are still up, below, and if you
haven't visited some of these wonderful blogs please take a moment and do so, you 
will be thrilled you did.

Big Texas hug to all of you, and YIPEE we've had our 1st "norther" blow

in from Colorado and we had overnight temps in the 40's.  Today it's

sunny, bright and about 55 - that's 1/2 of what it was on our summer days recently.
