4. Target.com Leopard-Print Flats
I’ve always loved Isaac Mizrahi, and that he is making hip fashion affordable is just one more reason to adore the guy. I read the reviews for these bargain flats ($29.99) online and found out that they run about a half-size large; I ordered the 8.5s and received them about two weeks later. The perfect fit! I won’t say they’re as comfortable as my Asics, but they certainly do the job for a dinner out or a day at the office—white tank, black slacks, red cardigan, and I’m good to go.
5. Amazon.com Rise & Shine by Anna Quindlen
I’ll admit that the title of the book and the pretty butterflies on the cover may have convinced me that I needed to buy and read this book to beat my late-winter blues. I can tell you for sure now that I correctly judged this book by its cover. Anna Quindlen, a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker, captures the magic and the grit of the Big Apple through two sister’s lives. I’m only halfway through, but I’m loving every moment of it!
Now with the sweet smell of fig on my wrists, a new trench on my back, some meow-worthy shoes, and a book in my bag, I’m ready for my invigorating walk in the park. And tonight, I’ll sleep in my dreamy chocolate bed, happy (for now!).
