Something Old, Something New

Do you have that one item in your closet that you cannot live without? For me it is this BDG cardigan that I picked up at Urban Outfitters a few years ago. I wear it all the time. You have seen it on this blog plenty of times. I wear it so much that it is even starting to get holes on it (which makes me so sad!). I love it because it is rather light, comfy, and black. Perfection in my mind!

top- H&M

sweater- BDG

jeans- BDG available at Urban Outfitters

ballet flats- Lucky Brand available at Macy's

Don't be fooled by the fact that I'm wearing a cardigan and jeans...it has been so warm here in NYC today all week. I hate this weather. It's in the upper 70s/low 80s! I personally love fall. It's my absolute favorite season. Makes me so sad that we'll probably have a few good weeks where it is in the 50s/60s before it gets freezing cold. UGH! 

Oh yeah...and the reason I'm dressed like this is because we had our air conditioner blasting (my husband was hot and I was cold, as usual!).

What is your favorite item in your closet? What do you wear way too often and just can't live without???

Macy's Believe 2009

Hello readers. I know this is a fashion site and all...but a good friend of mine sent me this story today and I wanted to share it with all of you. It's about the friend (Becky) of one of my friend's co-worker's little sister (Emily)...does that make any sense? Here is her story---


*************************************************************************


Emily has known this little girl since second grade. While in second grade Becky fell in the school playground, she hurt her leg and Emily helped her to the nurse. Later the next day Em & her class found out that Becky had broken her leg, that was not the end of the news, Becky broke her leg because her bones were fragile. Becky found out that day she had bone cancer, she was in second grade,just 8 years old. For the past 3 years Becky has had ups and downs. They thought she had a chance of winning this huge battle. It seems that Becky can not win, Becky and her family just found out that Becky's tumors are growing, she is in a lot of pain and she most likely not be getting better. Her family was told to make this her best Thanksgiving and Christmas. Becky is in Em's class again this year, although she doesn't attend too many classes. It is heartbreaking to know that this little girl is suffering. She suffers in pain and doubt she suffers with sadness of why. She has and does put up a good fight, they have tried many ways to rid her body of the cancer but nothing is working. The doctors are trying very hard to find something. Miracles can happen, right?
