The gorgeous Leah of Style for the Stay at Home Mom came to town and we hit the downtown stores yesterday. Leah wanted to investigate Uniqlo (aka the Japanese Gap), so we started there.

Imagine a Resemblance
WendyB John Lennon I really like my round Lennon-esque sunglasses. But I’m not a big fan of Lennon’s “Imagine.” I think he dealt with similar issues in a more powerful way in “God.” That’s probably my favorite solo Lennon work, though listening to it makes me sad because the lyric “The dream is over” was…
One for the Glove Lovahs

Due to camera problems, I missed a good shot of Posh Beckham aka Victoria Spice. Fortunately, fashion reporter Cheryl Tan was willing to do her best Posh imitation. Cheryl,…
Maid in Manhattan?
I haven’t worn gloves for years. I prefer to stuff my hands in my pockets and complain about the cold weather. But when I found these woolly fingerless gloves in Bergen, Norway, this summer, I was in love. Then, two days ago, I was on Madison Avenue and walked by Sermoneta Gloves. The brightly colored…
Zang With a Z
