Great suede jacket bargains at Nordstrom

Nordstrom a great deal on suede jackets (blazers); they are on clearance for just $59. The jackets have princess seaming, so they are very figure-flattering. There are great color choices as well.

I also found a fabulous wool coat for my client for just $135 at Nordstrom. It also has great seaming and darts- a very flattering shape.

If you are looking for a jacket and/or coat, definitely check out Nordstrom.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Great American Smokeout 11/16/06

Today, Wednesday 11/16/06 is the Great American Smokeout. This year is the 30th anniversary of the event. Today is the perfect day to quit smoking!

For advice on how to quit smoking, see the American Cancer Society's website:

http://www.cancer.org.

Smoking can damage your appearance, and therefore your image. Smoking can cause people to look older than they are because of wrinkles, skinspots, yellow teeth, etc. It can also cause your clothing to yellow. Finally, your breath, clothing, and hair frequently retain the smell of smoke.
