The way that I dress has always been important to me...I can't draw or paint, but I love to express…read moremyself through the way that I dress and present myself. I am drawn to parading around in flowey seams and loose strings! The more bohemian the better...bold, boho is the game and pattern clashing is my game. That's who I am. That's what I am. I'm inspired by Janis Joplin and Bette Page, they are my style icons!!! I was pleasantly surprised by what I learned at Ladybird. I went in thinking that I was going to simply try on some clothes and they will tell me what looks good on my body type, but what I experienced far surpassed my expectations. Ladybird provides a fashion personality test, based on the clothes that I wear and feel good in. I felt like the team at Ladybird was able to help me set a pavement on the underbelly of my personal fashion, personality traits, and ability to relate to those around me. Those birdies really understand the science of style and I think all should be encouraged to experiment. Tweet! Tweet!

Just to be clear, this fleld (either for men or women) is NOT about some clever gal with good tastes who enjoys clothes (Kansas City has several of these nice, but ineffectual, wanna-be's). It's about much more than that. Molly is a big-league talent and anyone taking themselves seriously is well-advised to give her a call.

I called Wendy with a unique question- "Do you guys chauffeur puppies to the airport?!" I explained the situation and she was quick with providing help for me. She said Paulette could do this the next morning for us. The puppy made it to my cousin just in time for her birthday surprise (with a little help from her dad who traveled many miles to retrieve the puppy after the flight). This team goes above and beyond for complete strangers! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

The Garment District, a most appreciated new addition to the Power & Light District, combines two…read moreof my favorite pursuits: booze and shopping. This is their opening weekend and due to my having to drive there in the middle of the day, I was only able to pursue the latter. That's OK, because the latter was being offered in abundance AND what's more, it was all discounted due to opening weekend! Even a wine & spirits enthusiast like Yours, Truly, will take a good sale over a drink any day of the week. The store is sectioned according to each boutique (the store is a collective). Focus seems to be on indie designers. There is a wicked jean selection, and a variety of clothing styles to suit every taste, including my own, which I might add, is quite picky. I especially appreciated the super cute coat and jackets they have right now (to the right as you enter the store) and the studded purses and bunches of blingy costume jewelry and other accessories artfully strewn about the store. I should also add that the ambiance of the store lends itself very well to shopping, drinking and socializing. I LOVE the fashion plate murals on the wall and unique mannequins. Ceilings are super high and the vibe is that of an exclusive, trendy boutique, yet the staff are all extremely friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I couldn't help but think if this store, which has the vibe of a Soho boutique, actually had to exist in Soho, well, let's just say it wouldn't be possible to find an outfit that didn't set us back a paycheck or two (that's not to say I WOULDN'T be inspired to lose a paycheck here). Like I said, I didn't drink from the bar (oh, I was tempted!), but I am looking forward to going back when I have an escort, perhaps on an evening when there is an event going on (they are going to have DJ events according to the website). By the way, there are opening weekend drink specials tomorrow: complimentary mimosas and bloody marys! Alas, I have prior engagements. But I'll be back, Garment District.

There was no confirmation of order, no follow up on the 8 attempts to reach them and it arrived 2-1/2 weeks later. The shoes I paid full price for (and pricey) do not fit and now they won't respond to the literally 8 times (email and phone) I have reached out about the return and the window of 5 days to refund them has expired. I am shocked that in this day and age if you are selling online that you consider the sale closed after it ships and simply ignore your customers. Now I am stuck with shoes I can never wear. BTW I never leave bad reviews. I am a person who goes out of my way to compliment places. But in this case I simply have given up. Avoid them -I don't care how awesome the things are they sell...find somewhere else to buy ! she may be sweet in person but a total flake online so she should shut down the online shop. I am totally with Nicole who left same review as worst online experience!!!
