BUSTLE and VIM

It's here!  

Mostly...

Actually it's kind of warm today, but earlier this week it was definitely SWEATER WEATHER!!!

And this is a great week for sweater shopping because Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic are all having HUGE sales, and if you use your Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic affiliated credit card, you get 50% off.  So, here's what I got:

This super cozy, wonderfully chunky cable knit.   I could wax on and on...

Two years ago, when we started this enterprise, Bustle and I originally thought this might be a fashion/shopping blog first and foremost.  The original idea was sound.  All those outfit-inspo blogs out there sporting the same looks, with 20-something, 5’9”, size 2 models left a certain void we were certain we could fill.  Surely, there were women out there over the age of 35 and larger than a size 2, that might...

Bustle:  Vim and I received our birthday presents from each other this past week, and we both sent each other necklaces!  How's that for maintaining the same wave length o'er the miles that separate us?

Hello! It's Vim here, back from a sluggish hiatus to welcome you to the first in an on-going series from Bustle and Vim: Now Read This! We've been doing some mental housecleaning lately to hone in on the subjects we're most passionate about. HOW DID WE MISS BOOKS??? Bustle and I are BIG readers, and I can't believe we didn't put it in the main menu to begin with, but ah well: learning.
