Clothes and New York! (book reviews)

One of my little joys in life is the improvement of my closet, not to mention the fashion honing of a certain little seven year old of whom I can only pray decides to girlify at some point. With gentle coaching and exposure to the finer things, I was full of pride as we sorted through the Manhattan tween boutiques in Soho and Midtown. No, she's not a tween, but yes, she's very tall and skinny, so tween boutique here we are. However, that is certainly not to limit my own quick flits in the designer consignment and boutiques ... complete with some amazing professional blazers for a busy Fall season. While I didn't get to any vintage shoppes, the basic design concepts combined with the "essentials" that Parisian Chic recommended really informed my decisions leaving me with some lovely investments :)
