I love this store. I always splurge on a few of their fabulous clothing items every season. The website and catalog give you a good taste of what
they have to offer, but visiting one of their stores is a whole different experience. Each store has its own team of artists and designers that put
together the most delicious displays. If you make a road trip out to our Berkley catching fireflies, there is an Anthropologie just few miles away
in Birmingham.

The colors and textures of Oilily's clothes and accessories are pure eye candy. Based out of the Netherlands, the majority of the
company's product line consists of children's clothes but they also have a scrumptious women's line as well. Whenever I need a little color
inspiration, all I need to do is spend a few minutes perusing through a few of their clothes racks. If you can't find a store near you, their color
catalogs are beautiful.

I've gone my whole life without being infatuated with Debbie Gibson, Kirk Cameron or even the New Kids On The Block ... then came John
Mayer. At age 29, I officially joined my first fan club. I love his lyrics, mad guitar skills and witty banter. Any of his CD's would be a great
asset to your music collection.
