Well, it's been a hectic few days but this blog is finally up and running. S and I often scour the internet searching for affordable and stylish clothing; after two years of emailing each other links of things we love, we figured it was time to share our findings with you.
We rarely get to see each other, being in different parts of the country, so this weekend will be a happy one - we're off to do some used book shopping at the local bookstore. I'm hoping to snag a couple of sustainable recipe cookbooks; I think S has developed a new addiction to Dick Francis novels.
Our thoughts are with the city of Mumbai.
Until Monday!
