Don't know if it's a tradition over in the US but here in London all
ahmward...

Last week I had a similar discussion with a lady in my knitting class.
She goes to Los Angeles or San Francisco to purchase tailored clothing
in a larger size. Apparel at our local dept. store usually have big
fussy prints, embellishments on the shirts and just are inappropriate
for her needs. Tunics are hard to find. The one I have is from
Shanghai Tang in New York. On the Today Show today there was a segment
on the best bras. You may want to look at the web site or the msnbc
site. There were several very good buys.

the shops have huge huge sales, with Harrods leading the way. Anyone
ahmward...

Something you can do is try to shop upscale thrift stores, perhaps not
where you live, but in Los Angeles. It is a good thing especially if you
are continuing to lose weight; otherwise, look at flattering less
expensive garments.

Ours usually start the day after Christmas and run several days.

I had one of our resident "how much is our bonus going to be?"
software weenies ask his usual January question.... which can't be
answered until the numbers come out.
When that happens, I think a Philips HDD6330 MP3 player is fairly high
on my list.... along with dropping some money in the market.

certificates??
Here's what I would get!
Skirts cut on the bias (just got some great birkenstock lace up boots..
need some skirts to go with them!)
Eve Lom Spf 15 day moisturizer
Eve Lom TLC cream
Gemma Kidd makeup school eye quads in Naturals and Greens
Miss Cherie Dior
Clinique Butter shines in Cranberry and Apple brandy (think those are
the two red shades0
Stila makeup palette--Sleeping Beauty (made for the English National
Ballet)
Memoirs of a Geisha palette from Fresh--
Just a quick note on Fresh. I stopped into the only freestanding store
on marleybone high street and met the most wonderful sales person named
Mia. I can see buying an absolute fortune from her, as she was really
personable, funny and into her products! I will certainly be stopping
by there again sometime in the future, as the Geisha items aren't out
yet in the UK (the film hasn't been released yet---is it out in the
states yet??)
Woolen tights to wear with skirts and boots
