		<title>Neiman Marcus Spring Trend Event</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I attended Neiman Marcus&#8217; Spring Trend Event in Palo Alto.  When you checked in you were given a free tote and instructions for a scavenger hunt throughout the store of their top spring trends. I think this was a great way to introduce the customers to spring. They had models in the trends [...]]]></description>

		<title>What happened to the hat?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As late as the 1950&#8242;s one did not leave the house without a hat, men or women. Although I don&#8217;t think we need to go to that extreme, I would love to see a revival of the hat. Not only is it a great way to keep warm in the winter, a large amount of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elizabeth Taylor&#8217;s Jewelry Sale at Christie&#8217;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a nice follow up to my entry about Elizabeth Taylor. Back in October my Mother and her girlfriend flew to LA ( we live in Northern California) to see the preview of Taylor&#8217;s jewels for the Christie&#8217;s sale. I was wishing I could go! My Mom worried about what she would wear, especially the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stripes and more stripes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the repeating trends for spring is stripes. I say repeating because this was also a major trend two years ago. But that said I am not sure stripes are ever really out of style; they are sort of timeless. I have always liked stripes but this season I just can&#8217;t get enough of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Watching Elizabeth Taylor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For my own tribute to Elizabeth Taylor yesterday I decided to watch one of her movies. Since my children were home I chose Father of the Bride. Not only is Elizabeth Taylor beautiful but so she carried herself so well. I think she had an inner poise and grace that few people have, let alone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Return of Color?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two things happened last week that give me hope that there is going to be a real return to color. The first thing was the Oscars. Did you see the parade of colorful dresses? Not many black at all. The second thing was pictures of the European fall collections I saw on the sartorialist.com. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Myth of the Little Black Dress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I adore Coco Chanel, one thing I cannot thank her for is the now ubiquitous LBD or Little Black Dress. When Chanel introduced it in the 1920&#8242;s the idea of wearing black for something other than mourning was a new idea. In 1926 a simple knee length black Chanel dress appeared in [...]]]></description>
