the good news #9

Welcome to #9

Maybe you just need a sexy top,

What’s Going On Oh the darlings are thankful these days, aren’t you? There is so much to be thankful for, like friends. Speaking of which, did you catch the pics from the Polartec Challenge last week in NYC? Click here and take a peek at Trish and Julie enjoying the show. As I buzz around the web all day I also notice lots of indie holiday fairs to be thankful for. Go shop those (we’ll keep you updated in the blog and forums) and make an indie designer thankful too!

What’s New It is 5pm and here I sit and type…yet in the dark, that is what is new, sigh. Ahh, but it is just as well as the holiday season is upon us and there is much to do. So I am here to tell you - and I am sorry because I hate to be this girl - there are only 39 days left to get all of your **insert holiday here** shopping done. In order to lift your spirits, glance around this page and see all the lovely items to be found for you to make your entrance to holiday parties in style. Dress yourself first, you’ll feel fabulous and rejuvenated and ready to buy goodies for everbody else! (Just remember to be aware of individual designer shipping policies when shopping for the holidays).

Maybe you just want to throw on a silky red dress
