I hit the quarter century mark yesterday.
There were two gifts which made my day absolutely fantabulous. The first was my new camera. 
Ain’t it purdy?
The second was a mini shopping spree at Steve and Barry’s, which is my new favorite store. Majority of everthing is $8.98 or less. I absolutely love the Sarah Jessica Parker line, Bitten. Now, I was dismayed to read of the financial troubles that the retailer was having. I think it’s a matter of expanding in brick and mortar too quickly combined with a disconnect between advertising and availability. If they started selling their clothing online there is no telling how far they could go. I was shocked by the quality and the price. I felt like the woman in the IKEA commercial yelling, “Start the car! Start the car!” when I realized how many cute things I was able to get for a fraction of the price I would pay elsewhere.
Long live Steve and Barry’s.
