Cute Dress No. 10: Liberty of London at Target

Ok, check.  Acquired Girls Liberty Dress.  Many of us have been waiting diligently for the Liberty of London premiere at Target and now it is here!  This line is a fast seller and I was not able to visit Target until yesterday, almost a week after the debut.  Unfortunately, by the time I arrived, there was not much left in the women's line other than the polyester pieces.  The line is very pretty; however, the fabric of the women's apparel is not wonderful (lots of polyester which in my mind is a bit of a contradiction in terms ... Liberty of London in polyester)?

Nonetheless, the Girls Liberty line is absolutely perfect.  The items are all cotton with pretty light linings and the good news is that for the slimmer adult set, one can fit into a Girls L or XL !!! Without further ado, here is my new purchase to be worn with leggings this summer (can't wait)!  So ... if you are a fan of the look, hurry on over to Target.  Your local Target may have inventory but, alas, this version is already "out of stock" online!  Good luck!

I'm loving this clip from the French film Happily Ever After with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Johnny Depp.

Snow In The North East

    

We continue to be mired in snow in the Northeast! I love it because I grew up in Buffalo, New York where we were blanketed in snow nearly every day during the Winter! And, one must admit, snow and sunshine is a beautiful combination!

In any event, I found a wonderful Christmas craft idea at the Better Homes and Gardens website (here) and, yes, it is after Christmas; nevertheless, if we commit to making just one of these ornaments per month, we will have quite a nice collection of very lovely, architectural Christmas ornaments to either keep or give away as presents in December 2010!

PS I am drawn to the mid-century modern ornament! Enjoy!
