the neiman marcus christmas catalog has arrived! once or twice a year i invest in a few pieces- usually something by designer eileen fisher. her colors are so simple and earthy, and the cuts are classic and can be dolled up or kept simple. ordered a  three quarter-sleeve jersey like dress in two colors, black and scarlet, and a tunic with a ballet neckline in fig. she also sponsors programs for young girls and is environmentally-conscious, always a plus!
