For some of you the headline evoked excitement for others depression and for others stress…. Despite results on November 6, the economy is till in shambles and many without work.

For a few brief moments….cool breezes are blowing in San Antonio.  I cannot really call 55 degrees cold…but cool, for sure.  Since our time of cold is a very short window, it is difficult to justify spending big bucks on cold weather clothes…especially cashmere…even as wonderful as it is.

She wore her new COLDWATER CREEK cardigan purchased on sale, and paired it with…

Discussing the Trends….On TV!

Many of you know that since the beginning of 2012, I have been working with our local GOODWILL.  They give me a monthly stipend just to shop at their stores and blog about what I find.  It has been so much fun to work with them!  They asked me to join them this past Saturday…
