The sweetest most innocent popular music ever recorded, the sound of my early teens

Happy fiftieth birthday Motown
Propping up the dollar
Despite the pound's dismal performance against the dollar, the sight of racks of clothes at 70 per cent off before Christmas at the Chevy Chase branch of Saks defeated my no shopping resolution.
Before and after the Mexico trip I bought two sweaters by a a brand unknown to me, Magaschoni, who make amazing, interesting knitwear. I got a grey and silver flecked zip up cardigan and a black one with fringed collar and cuffs. I feel as if I'm fiddling while Rome burns but the echoing, empty floors of Saks made me also feel rather guilty. No-one was buying anything and the bargains were so great.
A closed down shop is a depressing sight, and that Chevy Chase Saks always makes me feel as if I have returened to the womb.
Meanwhile Pure caashmere (see banner above) is 60 per cent off
