[post-Sandy clean-up]

It’s been quiet over here at Raving Fashionista this last week, and Sandy is to blame.  I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t take the warnings about the severity of the storm too seriously before it hit last Monday night.  Unfortunately, we weren’t immune to her wrath, but we were lucky.  We personally lost two vehicles, saw some cosmetic damage to property and were left without power (and obviously internet/cable) for the duration of the past week, but our damages and losses are merely inconveniences.  My heart goes out to the families who have been left displaced or homeless in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.  A lot of focus has been placed on New York, but New Jersey needs your help too, especially our coastal towns which will never be the same.  I donated through the Salvation Army New Jersey Division here, but donations may also be made through the Community Food Bank of New Jersey or the American Red Cross; even the smallest donations can make a difference in the lives of those who lost everything.
