Sometimes we move from the food beat to the fashion beat.....

Did you check out the chic, dressy black boots Jill Biden was sporting today as she strolled around the U.S. Capitol and down Pennsylvania Avenue?
Biden picked up the 3-inch stacked heels about three weeks ago at Peter Kate Shoes in Greenville.
Kathy Savage, who owns the boutique in Powder Mill Square with her daughter Sissy Harris, said the cushioned Taryn by Taryn Rose knee-high boots resemble leather, but are actually black nylon with black patent pull tabs and trim.
The boots retail for $255.
"Jill loves a high heel, but they wonderfully comfortable," Savage said. "Jill is not an extravagant person. She is conscious of everything she buys. She's not frivolous at all."
Biden is a frequent customer at the Kennett Pike store.
"We are all very good friends," Savage said. Although Biden did not buy the bright red coat which she wore over a houndstooth dress by Milly at the shop, Savage said she did purchase the purple scarf she wore during last Saturday's whistle-stop tour.
***UPDATE: According to Donna Schneider, the owner of Ellie boutique in Greenville, Biden called her shop and asked for a few bright-colored scarves that would "pop" against a black wool coat. Schneider didn't have any in stock - it's now time for spring fashions - so she grabbed some from her own closet and gave them to the Vice President's wife. Schneider says the purple scarf that Biden wore during the recent whistle-stop tour and the hot pink scarf she donned at Sunday's "We Are One: Opening Inaugural Celebration" at the Lincoln Memorial "belonged to me personally." *****
At Peter Kate Shoes, Biden also purchased a pair of Kate Spade sandals ($180, on sale) that she planned to wear to tonight's inaugural balls.
But mum was the word Tuesday afternoon on Biden's ball gown.
"I never asked her what she wearing," Savage said. "We didn't want to ruin the surprise."
Vice President Joe Biden, who often shops at Greenville's Jos. A. Bank store, took the oath of office in a navy Hickey Freeman suit purchased from Nordstrom's in the King of Prussia (Pa.) Mall.
He paired it with a blue tie.

The boots looked great with the red coat, but when she took the coat off for the luncheon, she looked like a hooker in that too-short-for-her-age dress with cap sleeves. Doesn't she know it is january? She wore a sleeveless dress on Oprah the other day.

JESUS doesn't ANYONE at Delawareonline or even the authors of these blogs SPELLCHECK or GRAMMAR CHECK? It's hard to treat these posts as anything but random gossip by pre-teens when you can't get past trying to figure out what the "journalist" meant or the BOOB who translated typed. JEEEEEZ
What can I say? type and post too fast and you'll get nabbed by the grammar/spelling police every time.
