With the recent change at Old Navy, one has to wonder if the effects are already being felt. There’s a move away from basics and more towards recent trends, witness this number. Lesley, we couldn’t agree with you more.

A little underwhelmed by the photos from the Bambi collection at Barcelona. Things I want: More color, more vibrance. The Spring line looks like we’re getting ready for fall. The photo on the right makes me feel as if the model is going to a gladiator war in a bikini.

Went on the Free People website today to see what was doing over there. They’ve rolled out their fall line. I like the line, it’s just that some of the clothes while looking great on the models, might make the average person look frumpy. I’m hoping this is not the case. The above selection is my favorite from their line.

Ok, so remember last week I was trying out that long named Philosophy product on my skin to see if it works? Click here if you don’t. Well I’ve been following the directions. I mixed one jar into the other and applied every night before I went to sleep. It doesn’t say this in the directions, but I figure most beauty products want you to do that so that the little beauty nymphs can come out from under your bed and work on your skin while you’re sleeping. I digress. One week later, I think I am seeing a tiny bit of change. I won’t show you before and after pictures because I am web shy. My skin is slightly smoother and I’m putting less moisturizer on, but that could be due to the infernal heat that we’ve been experiencing. I’ll give you an update next week.
