If you have friends and relatives like ours who always want to return every one of their gifts, before you embark on your holiday shopping check the stores' return policies!  One would think we'd know this already, but even experienced shoppers sometimes get caught empty handed - or in this case, unhappily full handed.

Runway shows, designers, stylists and fashion bloggers will be blasting the full fall fashion story over the next few weeks.  It can get a bit overwhelming.  Our advice -- look those over, and take into account the fact that stores will promote fashion trends based upon their buys. Style is a very personal experience.  Save your money for those items that make you look and feel fabulous.

Whether you're looking to transition from summer into fall without spending lots of money on a new wardrobe, or are looking to give that classic dress a facelift...big, wide leather belts are in. They're edgy, slimming and connect separates or break up a dress.

Temperatures are falling and our summer togs just aren't doing the trick. It's time for warmer gear. Harriet, Judy and Tamara met Roshawnda Foster, sales person extraordinaire, in the Saks Fifth Avenue dressing room for a preview of the freshest fall fashions. Clothes lined the walls, accessories were piled high and plenty of shoes sat there to complement the latest looks.

It's after Labor Day, and time to put away your white pants and shoes ...... or is it?  There are lots of "rules" we grew up with that no longer apply. In fact, the styles coming down the runway and seen on the street, lead one to wonder if there are any fashion rules left.

This summer my SOLE SISTERS interns, Lan and Nadia, wanted to do something special that was meaningful, fun and that they could call their own. This is a time when we Baby Boomers have to realize that today's college age co-eds don't recognize the names Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem or even Ann Richards. These bright young women know so little about the battles we fought.

Our friend and Good News Girl, Cynthia Salzman Mondell, asked me to write about how I feel about my travels with the Little Black Shoe. She's hard at work on a documentary film called Sole Sisters about women and their relationships with their shoes, and it makes sense that she'd inquire. I've said a lot so far about the shoes and how they perform and how my feet feel, but very little about any emotion they evoked.

A Girls Weekend is perfect for laughing, crying and cleansing the soul.  My three BFFs joined me for the weekend in Chatham.  We are a young version of the Golden Girls - lots of laughs, a bit of banter and always honest with each other.  We cooked, drank wine, walked and shared our best advice.

Years ago while traveling in France, I passed a sign that said Thalassotherapy. French friends told me that thalasso places use seawater for health benefits and that the French government sponsors these health spas. Apparently the French government no longer pays for thalassotherapy, and that had been my favorite part of the story. I'd love to think my government would pay for spa treatments. The real truth is that the French coast is dotted with these saltwater healing plants and everyone is welcome to go and pay their own way.

Paleolithic folk spent a lot of time in southern Brittany around the picturesque Gulf of Morbihan. They left personal items such as jewelry and axes as well as carvings and remarkable megaliths. Among the stones left behind are huge menhirs, passage dolmens and stone circles. An outstanding site is located in Locmariaquer.

Whoever told us that the southern part of Brittany is the sunny side must be selling real estate. It has rained some every day since we've arrived on the south coast, and today it poured all day long.

Refusing to let a little rain slow us down, we got up early and visited a medieval garden with Queen and Patrick.

Today we went house hunting--one of my favorite things to do in France. I love seeing what one must pay to live in different places around the world. It's great to meet people and see how they live.

Today we had to dress for all four seasons. We spent the day in and out of our coats and sweaters. The wind had winter fangs, but the sun was summer hot-when it was out. We had spring showers along the way, and in the evening we had an autumn fire.

Brittany apparently has a sunny side and a rainy side-we left Roscoff this morning and headed for the sun. We drove through dozens of towns side by side along the coast road. These towns, tiny fishing villages really, have their names on the signs in both French and Breton, a language that looks like Welch with all the Ls and Ys. The coastline, with its jutting rocks and wild, low brush, draws tourists, surfers, and fishermen.
Roscoff
Monday, June 20th, 2011
A five-hour drive south and west took us through glorious countryside. We left the barn at Chatwall Old Home Farm early to make the three o' clock ferry from Plymouth. Our destination: Roscoff, a sea town in Brittany. Although there have been rough patches in the relationship between the British and inhabitants of Roscoff, many ship owners here built lavish homes with profits from the smuggling trade in the eighteenth century.
