Yes! I finally got hold of a Modaspia item. Mind you, I'd lost out on a couple of Fiji dresses this summer:
Modaspia is a local brand (Placerville, in fact), and the clothes are made there and in Oakland and San Francisco.
I haven't brought the green top out yet; we're experiencing another Indian summer in the Bay Area (didn't this occur last year as well?), so I'm squeezing the final seasonal wears from my warm-weather clothes. But I have tried it on. Mmmmm! The neckline is higher than appears in the photos, which is great (no "must wear camisole"-ness), the green is intense...what I'm really craving for though, is the print. It is now quite easy to find outstanding solid-colored clothing items, but difficult finding beautiful prints.Labels: modaspia, wardrobe

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

There will always be a warm place in my heart for the now late, and great, Steve Jobs.
I don't even care for Apple products, much (ducks), but the thing Jobs accomplished was to make computers and software fun and intuitive. "Fun" and "intuitive" were not buzzwords in application design, particularly, until, well, Jobs sold the concepts.
Now the average user expects software to be incredibly easy, and even a pleasure, to use. It's harder to make it that way, but ultimately it's better. If we were producing nothing but generic software, surely it could be outsourced; it's the customization which is valuable now.
Rest easy, Steve...I'm looking forward to jumping on that iMat.
