What are you thinking about for your 2013 fashion overhaul?
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
SUNDAY SERMON: (a.k.a. What thoughts are crowding Kelly’s brain?)
I’m trying to embrace the “party” nail because it is EVERYWHERE. But, is there an age limit to this? Fashion says “not really” but I have to be honest and say that I’m a touch embarrassed by it. Perhaps it’s...
