Almost a decade ago, I asked for the Lands’ End Squall Parka for Christmas.

My black and white striped scoop tee from Ann Taylor, black pencil skirt from Ann Taylor, my wide black belt with the patent buckle… also from Ann Taylor, and my black peeptoe booties from Miss Sixty. Today I dressed half-awake. Had a…
Icky icky yucky rainy day in DC. And I am in desperate need of some new boots. I have my Ros Hommerson “Maryland” black leather boots, but the zipper is busted and I want them an inch shorter in the shaft. I have had them in the trunk of my car for weeks and keep…
