My outfits have been lackluster out of function (nursing), temperature (it’s flipping hot), thrift (none of my shirts fit my now-ample bosom) and need (I’m not really going anywhere). So while my real wardrobe needs are minimal, my online shopping carts have become something of an obsession.

I’m coveting everything. Everything.

I want heeled loafers, leopard coats, snug blazers, bow tops, necklaces, bracelets and rings. I want boot-cut jeans, pretty blouses, ballet flats and cool bags.

When I shop online, my wardrobe needs are extensive, as is my wallet.

My next few posts (it’ll take a few), are some things that are in my shopping carts around the Web.

1. ASOS Double Lapel Coat, $219.54
2. Silk Lucinda Blouse, $98
3. Pretty Powerhouse Ring, $27.99
4. Bette Jeans, $225
5. The Perfect Penny Loafer Pump, $188

No more hauling to Scottsdale Fashion Square or Kierland Commons for a classic-yet-trendy fashion fix!

Now cashmere cardigans, denim work shirts and boatneck tees are just a stone’s throw away.

“I do all my J. Crew shopping online,” says my husband.

“Well you’re a boy, and you don’t have to try things on,” I retort.

“I guess they have better sale stuff in store…” he continues.

Atta boy.

Some things I’m liking:

1. Lucinda Blouse, $98
2. Tippi Sweater, $69.50
3. Paddy High Heel Loafers, $265
4. Deco Bow Bangle, $58

“My family would kill me,” she replied.

Her family must have come to terms with the fact that the city needs her. Friday, June 3rd marked the opening of the new accessories and shoe store, Frances Studio — which carries many of the cool, eclectic brands found in Frances Vintage, like Toms and Orla Kiely…and then some. What you’ll find: unique tapestry bags, cool artisan pendants, funky footwear.

Now the piercing shop next door needs to relocate so Bryant can start a stationery store.

When I inquired about them, I learned they were by David Weidman. “He did stuff for Hanna Barbera,” the saleswoman said.

You can see that whimsical cartoon style — and period-appropriate color choices in his book, The Whimsical Work of David Weidman or you can buy prints at Weidmanart.com. Some of my faves: Duck & Ole.

Here are a few more you can find online at Weidmanart.com.

I sat in her kitchen with a garbage bag smock on and chatted as she chopped. As she scissored the bangs,  I watched 2 1/2-inch pieces of hair drop into my lap.

“Hmmm…were my bangs really that  long?” I wondered.

Then my sister started furiously smoothing my hair down, as if rapid petting might make my fringe grow.

“You usually like them short,” she said worriedly.

I think they are short enough.

“In two weeks, they’ll be perfect,” she offered.

So true — but in the mean time, my brows are on parade. Probably a good time to visit my favorite brow guy, Koltton Fox.

I love some good kind-to-the-environment threads, but I feel like people gloss over another eco-option — buying items that last. Good quality, timeless styles that you can wear season in and out. Clothes you won’t get tired of and sell to Buffalo after wearing it for a month or two.

Here are some items that I either have or want that I think test of time:

1.) Selvedge Chambray Shirt, $88
Simple chambray shirt can be dressed up or down.

2.) Island Sandals, $165
I got a pair of these sandals “made just for me” during my honeymoon in Maui. I’m about to have my 8th anniversary — and they are still going strong.

3.) Spring Mercer Pants, $248
Summer jeans are best light and loose.

4.) Diane Von Furstenberg Wrap Dress, $325
The quintessential wrap dress is flattering — and a go-to for a multitude of occasions.

Wilson has had an insatiable appetite — followed by some disconcerting crying jags. I’ve been spending much time on the couch with a baby latched to my boob, watching old Law & Order SVUs rather than doing anything worth writing about.
