Jaclyn Smith at Kmart: The Hats

WAY back in the end of April, I checked out the Kmart fall press preview, and today, while browsing online, remembered the fabulous Jaclyn Smith faux fur hats shown at the preview.

Adorable, right? Also, this Jaclyn Smith blouse, below, struck me as very noteworthy. I'll be looking more than twice at the Jaclyn Smith this fall on 34th Street.

H&M CdG Winner! + More

Kati just drew names out of a hat, and the winner is:

Miss Woo! Congratulations, Miss Woo, you've won a red polka dot CdG for H&M cardi. Email me your address and I'll ship it off today. Really, this is a tough one to part with.

But there's a small consolation prize for you non-polka dot-winners: email me your address if you'd like a Macy's Friends & Family card, good for 20% off almost everything from Wednesday, December 10th through Monday December 15th. Go here to get the online code if you're into that internet shopping thing.

And Kira Plastinina has a 1/2 off everything in store. Look for one of these hats:

Very Lara-Dr. Zhivago, very Dr. Seuss.



















And I wish you could personalize these:

This week mine would say "make me warm!" And I want to be able to move the letters around as my mood demands, so next week it could read: "karma! meewm." What will your personalized knit cap say?

I Love a Long Scarf

Once, a few years back, I was knitting a purse and got so frustrated with the pattern I ripped it out and turned it into a scarf. This scarf is really, really long. While knitting I got a little obsessed and if it wasn't for my man (who is waiting for his blue sweater which is currently a vest and destined for scarfdom), I could have pulled a Rapunzel from our 4th floor loft.

H&M must have similar issues:













How to wear ginormous scarf ($16.90)? I'm 5'10 and it's almost on the floor! I love the color of this set and the big knit, but the scarf is already looking a little fuzzy. I'd just get the hat ($9.90).



Nice fringe, cable knit, and cute matching hat ($9.90, scarf is $24.90). No fuzzy stuff here and this scarf-length is a bit more manageable.


I love all styles of scarves, but really long ones are great fun. However, wear with care. I almost took a header once running down subway stairs. Let us remember Gertrude Stein's remark about Isadora's Duncan's untimely death by scarf: "affectations can be dangerous." Thank-you, Wikipedia.
