It has been 2 weeks since an earthquake with  magnitude of 9.0 hit Japan followed by a devastating tsunami which left thousands dead and missing. Several nuclear power plants are in serious condition and continue to spew radioactive contamination to the environment.  Many retailers have reached out to help.  Japan’s largest retailer, Uniqlo, donated $25.6 million.   Gap has created a limited edition Tee in solidarity with the people of Japan and to support the relief effort.  All profits will be channelled to the GlobalGiving Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund.  If you would like to donate, do visit Gap for more information.

I love wearing cardigans.  They are so comfortable and I also love the layered look.  You can wear wool in winter or cotton ones in the summer months.   Cardis are also very versatile.  They look great with skirts, shorts, jeans and can be worn on any occasions.  Before I start reading up on rfid, I thought I would show you some of the cardigans that I love right now and they are from my favourite store – J Crew.

When I was going through the roadside assistance plan, a friend called and asked me if I know where she can find nice cover-ups.  She will be attending her sister’s wedding dinner next month and has found a very nice dress to wear.  However, she wants her shoulders to be covered and has problem finding a nice cardi or jacket.  I went online and found a few beautiful boleros.  I hope my friend would like them.

Now I wonder why didn’t I find this out sooner?  A designer maternity gown which is the perfect thing to wear after child birth.  I looked horrible after giving birth and it didn’t help that I was wearing the drab green flimsy hospital garb. Now, mommies can look like a million dollars in this Gown-2-Go, Amy Butler LOVE Collection which is made to flatter any body or shape and are completely customizable.  This knee length gown has snaps down the full length of the back for modesty and ease of access for hospital staff. Both sleeves unsnap completely, allowing full access for nursing your newborn. It also comes with a beautiful ribbon sash to create a lovely empire waist.

For the fashionistas who are popping prenatal vitamins, yeah I am referring to those who have a bulging tummy, and are having a hard time time finding stylish maternity wear, well no worries.  You can be a sexy mama with these fabulous maternity wear from Nordstorm.  They have a line of maternity fashion to make you feel sexy, stylish and absolutely fabulous.
