I thoroughly apologize for being in hibernation for so long -- life got crazy, and winter wasn't inspiring much dress hunting. But don't fear, Frock Files is still alive and kicking! Even though it's completely awful outside here in Boston, the weather hasn't stopped me from shopping! If anything, ... http://frockfiles.com/2009/01/28/and-were-back/ .!.Now that it's cooled down and we're back to crisp air and turning leaves, I'm back to my love affair with cashmere and boots.

In the summery ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/09/15/summer-plum/ Even those of us who were clinging to the last bit of summer cannot deny the fact that autumn is definitely in the air.

And ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/08/01/fabulous-fall-fashion/ While I'm all about living in the moment, it's hard not to look forward to fall with all of the shops putting their pretty autumnal clothes in the windows already...and it's not even August yet!
