http://frockfiles.com My favorite dresses! Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:06:59 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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. Just when you think that there couldn't possibly be an original way to style a sweater dress, you find one that you absolutely fall in love ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/09/19/its-that-time/ September is as indecisive as I am when I haven't had enough to eat (and believe me, that's pretty darned indecisive)! Today it was summer again, at 85 degrees and humid, which made me glad that I haven't put all of my summer dresses back into storage yet. 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. While some people are happy to wear their trench coats in the summertime when it's nippy, I'm a steadfast believer in not taking out my coat ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/09/11/undeniable-autumn/ Recently, I've been on the prowl for a bag that isn't brown. I know that this sounds silly, but I honestly have about a dozen brown bags and not a single one that I could wear with a black coat. There are, of course, other stipulations: it must be big ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/09/08/covetous/ Hey all, sorry for the extended absence! I know it's no excuse, but the weather's been so nice that I just wasn't doing very much actual shopping...clothes shopping anyway. Of course, that couldn't last for very long at all, and I've found myself feeling the need for clean, ladylike lines ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/09/07/falling-for-fall/ Speaking of fall, I've been really into the clean lines and classic hourglass shapes of 40s and 50s inspired clothing, and recently, in a fit of passion for fashion blogs, I stumbled across this post about a line called Stop Staring that creates just these types of dresses. The post ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/08/01/fabulous-mommies/ I know, I know, I'm the one who was all excited about the arrival of warm weather -- but I can't help being excited by the debut of the fall collections and all of the glory that goes with them (ie: pashmina scarves, cashmere lined gloves, leather boots, coats)! 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! Perhaps it's the influence that Italy had on me, or maybe I'm just growing up ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/07/25/all-about-autumn/ I am fresh off the plane from Italy, where my girlfriends and I had an excellent time shopping, quite literally, til we dropped! After a veeeeery long plane ride, though, I've decided that dresses are the best things to travel in. True, I'm a little biased here, but they are ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/07/22/frequent-flyer/ I love my sandals!!!!! After falling in love with these, oh, four months ago, they finally went on sale at Lindsay Lou. They are the BEST. SANDALS. EVER. Soft, supple leather like velvet. Okay, I know this is a dress blog, but I had to post about these because I ... http://frockfiles.com/2008/06/07/proud-mary/
