I've been in the market for a good cami for about 5 years. We all need at least one to wear under those extreme low-cut shirts that seem appropriate in the catalog on the model, but seem to pose a problem at home in the mirror and especially when you want to wear it to Sunday School.
After my years of searching, I found the perfect one (at least for me....I hope it is universally-liked). Last year I tried the cami from bodenusa.com. I then proceeded to order it in multiple colors. And then the following season, I ordered several more. The link to this year's is: http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Tops-T-shirts/Sleeveless-Tops/WL550/Womens-Velvet-Trim-Cami.html
But they are slightly different each year. Also if you have ever bought from Boden, they are in US sizes now, also pretty true to size.
My problem with cami's is that most seem to try to be that seamless tight fit. I have not tried the Spanx one and I think their products are good. But all others seem to "ride" up and then I find I'm constantly pulling my shirt up to pull my cami down. Quite annoying, and unattractive.
This is just a knit cotton cami, with adjustable straps, perfectly simple, but a perfect fit. It comes in many colors, although you usually have to catch the white ones early. I'm not entirely sure why they don't just make more of these-they always sell out. However they are in stock. right. now.

Most Comfy Slippers
Finally, the weather is cold and I'm back in my favorite footwear! It's Saturday morning, aka, pajama day and I'm thinking to myself how much I love the slippers I'm wearing. Well, why don't you write a post about it, Christy, since you've abandoned the blog you said you would maintain more consistently!
The Ugg Cozy (http://www.uggaustralia.com/ProductDetails.aspx?gID=w&productID=5614&model=Cozy%20II) are so comfortable. One of my more appropriately named shoes, they are cozy, warm, and soft. And I could talk them up to be double-functioning as if to say, since they have a real sole and you can go out and get the paper with them, they have more buy-able quality. Like saying it's a bridemaid's dress you can wear again. Only these, you will wear again and again, year after year (thanks to that hard sole!) They are pricey for slippers (mine were a gift!), but you won't buy slippers again for a long time. Plus, they are a great gift for that person who has everything, and cold feet.
