American Eagle Outfitters has some cashmere sweaters this season…and because the brand is marketed toward teens and college students, they tend to run small. I sometimes pop into American Eagle for tank tops, and other basics, but I’ve also bought some sweaters there in the past. I’m always on the look-out for fitted cashmere sweaters, so when I saw this one at ae.com, I knew it had a chance of running small. Am…

It’s the clothes! {source} The movie follows a newly divorced American (Diane Lane) as she navigates a new life in beautiful Tuscany, Italy. The cinematography is beautiful, but really, anything filmed in Tuscany has to be beautiful, right? The American expatriate characters take…

…m. :-/ How would you describe your personal style? I like to describe my style as “American Chic” – which is basically a twist on the “Euro Chic” style, but not as polished (ha!) and the Classic American Style, but not quite as preppy. This tends to lend to me wearing clothing made of natural fabrics such as silk, wool and cotton, in classic “American Casual” separates. Has being petite made it diffic…

American Eagle Cardigan on sale for $19.95. Shop: American Eagle – Remember those cashmere cardigans from American Eagle I posted about last year?
