I think the last time I shopped at JCPenney I was still getting an allowance and pegged my jeans.   Mom Jeans were De rigueur. You may have heard the buzz surrounding the new JCPenney.  I did too.  In fact, for the first time ever a JCPenney catalog came in the mail.  I used to pour [...]

I Covet: These Spring Fashions

The Nordstrom Spring catalog came in the mail last week. I wanted to throw it into the recycling bin immediately but the glossy pages begged me to turn them just once.  I gave in and swooned.   I covet s/s12 by veamason featuring striped pants
