Don't you love the off-the-charts contrast? I do. While we have tent cities going up around the U.S., the offerings of Neiman Marcus' 2009 Christmas Book were unveiled last week.
Happy Thanksgiving, my lovelies! Where will you be spending the holiday? Alex and I will be going to our friends' house in Brooklyn, where we plan to eat lots of cheese, sit by the fire and play gin rummy.
