MESSAGE FROM DIANA
It's been
beautiful here in Delaware the last few weeks, and I must admit I've
been lured away from work more than once by the call of warm weather
pursuits. Since today is shaping up to be another tempting day, I
won't keep you long - but I will give you some resources to explore
when you've got some time on your hands or are stuck someplace
because of lousy weather.
Enjoy!

FEATURE ARTICLE
10 Great
Fashion and Image Websites
Since I get
lots of questions from readers every week wanting to know where they
can find this, that, or the other thing, I thought I'd flip through
my bookmarks to see which fashion and image sites I tend to visit a
lot, and share some of them with you. Whether you're doing research
for yourself, for clients, or for projects, you'll find a wealth of
information here. In fact, I suggest you bookmark them.
Here we go:
