text-align: left;">As I mentioned, I'm going on a cruise soon.  Details to come shortly but in the meantime, all I can think about is anything red, white and blue or nautical.  I've already bought one striped shirt and I think I will be buying some more from <a href="http://www.chanceco.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Chance</span></a> soon.  Not only does Julia Leach have the best selection of shirts and dresses but she has the chicest website.  She spent eleven years as the creative director of Kate Spade so I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less.  I am absolutely in love with these images from her portrait series.  I'm going to have to figure out how to get invited to the next one.  Looks like it was a blast! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
