BUSTLE and VIM

Please note: Dear Readers, that my phone is currently on the fritz, and I would love to show you actual pictures of myself, but am temporarily, technologically stymied. 

I will admit that I’m normally a little skeptical about the suggestions the Sephora folks throw at m...

It is Fall, Y'all!  

And by that, I mean the weather has dipped gloriously below 80 degrees!  Never mind that it will only last 2 days before seizing up again, we are enjoying it!

And in preparation, I've been trying on sweaters. So, for your consideration: *

Hello, Dear Readers!  Vim here.  As you all know, Bustle and I love to read, and to share our recommendations with YOU.  And as is so often the case with us, we are very different in some ways, and remarkably of the same mind in others.  For instance, I tend to read a...

It has been a while since I've written about clothes.  It's been a while since I've shopped, but this spring I've remedied that with a vengeance.  Much thanks to Loft, and their fabulous sales!

So, I'm sitting at the Clip Joint waiting for my son to get his hair cut when I notice the woman next to me.  Rather, I notice her bracelets.  Now, I could have kept my admiration to myself.  But I have never, ever liked something silently in my life.  So, I pipe up, "...

Happy Mid-Summer to you all!  I hope this post finds you sipping iced tea, walking indoors, parking in covered garages and whatever else you can do to stay protected from this insane, unrelenting HEAT!  I woke up pretty early this morning and took my pup for a walk.  I...

Bustle tersely noted today that I have been remiss in my blogging duties, and she's right.  Very right.  Well, it was terse for her.  She's gentle as a lamb, but I've known her most of my life so I can read between the tenderly worded lines.  She has also rather compas...
