Ze palette du jour!I just re-watched Benny and Joon and have been re-convinced that it is perhaps the loveliest movie of all time. The young Johnny Depp and Mary Stuart Masterson are so charming I giggled all the way through. If you are ever in the mood to be tickled beyond pink (think puce or maybe fuschia) I HIGHLY suggest watching Benny and Joon.
Also, read this article in today's New York Times. It is super spif because it is a) about backpacking in Washington, b) well-written, and c) a total kick in the pants:

Yesterday mumsters and I went shopping in an effort to kickstart my latest style revolution. My last style rev was last year when I decided that goofball socks pulled up over leggings were the cat's Pjammas. Admittedly they were very happening socks-- there were ones with tractors on them, periodic table ones, green dinosaur ones, and yellow ones that looked like a goldfish was swallowing your leg-- totally hip, but rather a step backward in the dressing like a grownup department.
So now I am going for slightly more refined-- still super colorful, just fewer of them at a time. Lots of stripey things-- sweaters and sweater-y shirts, mostly, and an excellent blue stripey pleated skirt. Also some opaque tights in goldenrod, inky blue, heather gray, and red cable knit.
JEEBUS I just said goldenrod and inky blue! Now you know what a name-dropping color snob I am.
Well, it is a bright and blustery Fall day outside so I am going to go out and toodle about in it!
Warm snuggies, Franny
