[fashionista di says] i am hearting phillip lim these days. his dresses, his cute cropped pants, his artistically created tops. all with great cuts and perfect fit! let the fall sales begin soon -- please! one of my favorite tops can be found on my shopstyle stylebook (along with a coveted bottega knot clutch that i must save up for):

[jetsetter di says] one of the best ways to pack shoes is to wrap them in shower caps. recylable shoe bags, often found free at any hotel you may stay at, and transparent so you can pick what you're sporting straight out of your suitcase! whoops, i just realized that a little bit of fashionista di snuck into this snippet. oh well. i can't help it :) yes, i'm off again on another airplane ! if i count the number of times i've been to the airport this year, i will quickly run out of hands! i had to pack for two getaways today because when i get back, we'll be off to clear lake for camping!

[domestic di says] tide-to-go is amazing! a staple in my purse wherever i go for many months now, i got to put it to good use on one of my co-workers shirts after she got too excited over her pasta.

and we should all spend more time at home. with a good book. showing our couches some love. it's good for the bottom -- and for the pocket book!
