Speed Chic Gets Around

Woo Hoo! Over 35,100 hits! A big shout out to Belgium and the gals in Vietnam!!

Monday, October 8, 2012

Bonjour, Baby


Dot thing that you do! Jacques Fath dress, circa 1950's.


Today is a very fancy day for Speed Chic, dear readers...

Nope.

No, not my birthday (thank goodness, I'll pass on the extra candle this year) but rather--my SITS day!

www.thesitsgirls.com
The Secret is In The Sauce, fyi!


SITS is a network of about 40,000 female bloggers, and today Speed Chic is its daily featured blog! Personally, I find SITS one of the best organized, most informative and user-friendliest blog info sites out there. So a big THANK YOU to the gals that groove that platform...

...or these platforms.
 Biba platform shoes Vogue UK, 1972

Speed Chic wants to be your five minutes of fabulous fun--peruse as you drink your morning coffee, take an afternoon moment to yourself or just find time in your gymboree-packed days to chill out and think about the important things in life. Like lipgloss.

I would like to welcome every single one of you (both familiar and fresh) to Speed Chic!

  13. I love that you are a fellow mother of boys, but still maintain your feminine sense of style. I, on the other hand, am flip flops and jeans through and through.
