Get Shopping (Again)


Ooo, I could just burst . . . I received a promo postcard from Ann Taylor yesterday, and I am here to say SHE IS BACK -- with a wicked vengeance. As most of my friends know, I am a BR (Banana Republic) aficionado, but I have to share with you that Ann Taylor has completely stepped up her game. Long before BR became what is is today--mostly every middle-class businessman's/woman's go-to-store--Ann Taylor ruled the female's business attire sphere. Looking back, even though I coveted the women who shopped Ann Taylor, I recall her dresses and suits were just ho-hum. Her style lacked oomph, sex, creativity, and the ooo-ahhh factor. Today, I can now very well afford Ann's offerings, however, I wouldn't dare go inside. But that was yesterday.
Now, after looking at some of Ann's latest clothing online, I am restraining myself from going to the mall to grab this gorgeous cream blouse that is begging me to wear her to my next board meeting. I can see it with a fitted black suit, black maroon pumps and my long strand of pearls with ribbons dripping everywhere. (See my pick for a sexy business casual Friday outfit on one of Ann's models. Is she rocking that purple blouse and cardi or what?)

Do yourself a favor and give Ms. Ann Taylor a second glimpse. I promise you, you will think you've just walked into BR or Saks. Better yet, while every other female at the office is wearing BR, you'll stand apart from looking like clones of each other, because you'll have on Ms. Ann's latest sexy, yet perfect for the office fashions. Trust me, GET Shopping.

GET Shopping


One of my first fall finds came to me while shopping in Palm Beach over the Labor Day weekend. As is usually the case, if there's an Anthropologie store within a 5-mile radius of me, I will inevitably run into it. No exception this time. I eyed this little "beaut" and instantly, we became friends. I love her ruffles, puckers, grapes, and tickles. The light, viscose/cotton blend scarf comes in green, pink and violet. I have it in grey. They offered other colors, but they must have sold out.

GET it. GET Shopping. http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=943331&navAction=jump&navCount=
