What spurs you to try new products?

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

How about you? Have you tried (or […]

The joys of spring

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

I love spring. I was out bike riding with two of my girls today and thought about how much I love spring — and so, not in any particular order, here are 10 reasons:

A role model

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

This article about Vivian Cherry, an almost 90 year old NY street photographer, is quite fascinating.
Be sure to click the accompanying interview with her. It shows pictures of her earlier life when she was dancing and many stills from her newly published book, Helluva Town: New York City in the 1940s […]

Vanishing nail polish

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

This article was posted at another list I’m on, but it is worth passing along for the folks not on that list.
I think it is a really great idea! A polish that turns color in the sun, but is nearly colorless inside, for those who are not allowed to wear polish at school or […]

Oscar jewels

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

I don’t know about you, but I like looking at the clothes and jewels of Oscar night.
I don’t hanker after any of the jewels as they are way out of my reach, so I can look without angst. And I remind myself that most of them are on loan from the jewelers, […]

A woman to admire

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

I only recently heard of Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic 97 year old woman who rescued 2500 children in the Warsaw Ghetto from the gas chambers in 1942-3.
After getting the children out, she arranged ‘adoptions’ by non-Jewish families (I admire them too for the risks they took) to protect them, documenting their names in a […]

Hair fashions

If you are lucky enough to have a Soho kiosk near you, then you have seen some of the lovely hair accessories that they have. They are not inexpensive. But they are very elegant, though they can be worn with jeans.

New England images

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

I was just sent some amazing pictures of New England with the leaves beginning to turn. They were as beautiful as anything you’d see in museums.

How many X hundred dollar creams can a woman use?

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

What’s a woman to do when the newest high tech face creams are running several hundred dollars each? And how is one to choose one over another, if one is staving off the knife?
Honestly, are they all worth that kind of money? Chanel, La Prairie, Sheisado, Clea de Peau all have […]

Visible or invisible

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com

One of the things I like to do, though unconsciously, is people watch. Likely it is because I grew up in the fashion world, so I enjoy seeing what people wear and how they wear it. I am not critical, I am just looking with a critical eye to analyze, because I’ve been […]
