Our galpal, Frisco blogger Taylor Sterling of Sterling Style, ain't one for feathers and bling. Nope. Her lady-chic style is simple, sophisticated, and straightforward. T.S. lets her choices in prints to do all the talking. For a demonstration of her personal retail theory, she grabbed our own S.F. Editor, Katie Hintz-Zambrano (who didn't need much convincing), and hit up the sunlight-filled Neiman Marcus off Union Square for a good ol' fashioned afternoon of testing her credit limits. Now, we're not going to tell you if Sterling dared to go home with that spike-sleeved top, the blue-and-black sundress, or that almost edible bordeaux handbag. That's between Taylor and the good people at Visa and Mastercard, thankyouverymuch. But we have a feeling that the beautiful blonde left Neiman Marcus with a certain pair of velvety pumps (the ultimate accessory for her style), and a bottle of perfume under her arm. You'll only know what she purchased by, duh, keeping an eye on her blog.
