Girls Like Us
By Sheila Weller
Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and Carole King aren't like us at all,
that's why we love them! If you can't be them, read about the lives and
careers of these exceptional women who have given us the soundtrack to so many of our lives. We ordered our copies, what are you waiting for?

Bidding And Betting On Cavalli
The privately held Roberto Cavallli Company is for sale (the company is
worth an estimated 1.89 billion dollars). Cavalli is planning on
keeping a major stake in the company. Cavalli has expanded his reach by opening new stores, doing a collection for H&M (which sold out from New York to Japan) and expanding his presence in stores through out the globe.

Polo At The Olympics
Polo Ralph Lauren will be the official outfitter of 1500 American
athletes for the opening and closing ceremonies of The Beijing Summer
Olympics. Each American athlete will be "sporting" their fashionable
custom Polo wardrobes for their "off time" in the Olympic Village.

Splash of Color
Marc Jacobs has provided a little bit of color for those who refuse to give up all your black and brown. Cool off with his newest scents, Grapefruit and Basil, this season.

Available at all better retail stores
