Elegant Lines

Also from our farm share, and sweeter and more carrot-flavored than any we get in stores.

Throw on this Checkered Popover Dress with a charcoal blazer and black tights and heeled oxfords or ballet flats and a green military jacket and scarf.

It's the very definition of laid back chic, and it's on sale for $34.99 at the Gap where it was originally $58.

Today we got our last batch of farm vegetables for the season. Between now and the end of next May, we'll still be able to buy local produce, but we'll have to go to the farmer's market or grocery store to pick things out.

Anahita Moussavian,

Look like a haute hershey kiss in this adorable Silver Dress from APC, the purveyor of unstudied French coolness.

Wear it for the holidays with a statement bejeweled bib necklace or make it office appropriate by throwing on a cozy fair isle cardigan.

It's been marked down from $350 to $245 on La Garconne.

Green leaves tumbling and trailing down from a table in the dentist's office waiting room. Three sets of teeth now clean.

Looking for some cheapie separates that don't look so cheapie? Pick up this Pleated Organza Shell from Old Navy.

The blouse can be layered under everything from a leather jacket to a blazer and accessorized with a chunky necklace.

But the best part? It's only $5.99 down from $26.50. What a steal.

There may not be the overwhelming slew of holiday parties invitations this season, so pick up a sensible dress that will be in style way after the last tick of 2008.

And this T-Bags Tuxedo Dress can be roughed up for every day wear with a motorcycle jacket or cocktail party ready with a pair of dangling earrings and sky high jeweled heels.

Either way, at $179 down from $224 at Owl's Lab, the frock won't break the bank.

Snow was falling steadily as we walked home from school today. It didn't stick to the sidewalks, but trees, unpaved ground, and mittens caught and held the flakes. The snow was just the right stickiness for tiny snowballs, too.

It always seems that we are more susceptible to colds when the weather grows colder and vitamin C has long thought to be one of the best prevention remedies. Vitamin C and the common cold have always been closely linked and we believe that taking it at the first sign of a cold will speed up our recovery or may stop colds developing at all, but does it really help as much as we think?Unfortunately research has shown this to be wishful thinking. Much to our surprise, colds still attack our bodies in spite of popping a few vitamin C...
