Running…with a little edge

For the most part, sports, including running, are still pretty conservative from a gear and clothing perspective.  And, I guess there’s good reason for that.  When you’re about to be immersed in your own sweat for 2-4 hours, the last thing you want is to have to worry about looking super trendy.  And, when it…

ToVieFor…discount accessorizing with a twist!

We recently came upon a site called ToVieFor.  And…it’s awesome.  Pretty much.  If you like a little gamble and are into handbags and other accessories, you’ll love this site.  Started by two very young, but highly ambitious, fashion-obsessed women, ToVieFor offers you what’s most current…in a unique bidding-esque environment.  In essence, after paying a nominal…

Gilt brings affordable to the chic couple

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about a number of luxury designer discount sites – Gilt.com being one of them.  Well, if you’ve been to any of these sites, they’re extremely time-sensitive, which can be a bit stressful, especially if you’re super busy during the day.  And, by the time you actually have time…

Etsy: taking handmade and vintage to a brilliant level

The soft and silky miracle of Kerastase

It’s all about beauty today!  Well, shampoo, in particular.  Sure, it may be a slightly mundane, random, irrelevant topic.  But, I’ve been a bit under the weather this week and my creative juices seem to have left the building, along with the clarity in my head.  At least I still have my appetite.  Phew!  So,…

Another fall, another (very cool) iteration of military chic

This fall seems to be all about the military chic.  Again.  And, I’m certainly not complaining.  I love it.  It’s relaxed, comfortable, and can actually be quite feminine.  I kind of feel like every year, as the seasons change, I end up indulging in more jackets with VERY subdued epaulets (since I’m far from adventurous…

Members-only discounts for luxury + designer brands

I’m (kinda) proud to admit it, I’m an avid shopper.  And, when I have the time, I’m all about finding a good sale.  I’ve tried signing up for a variety of the members-only sites that allow you access to one-of-a-kind, daily deals on luxury brands and top designers.  The New York Times even featured a…

Fashion for a cause — EDUN

If you’ve never heard of Lesotho, here’s a very brief introduction.  :)  It’s a tiny, mountainous, landlocked country right in the middle of South Africa.  It’s pronounced “le-sutu” and, oddly enough, its somewhat thriving garment industry has attracted not only the Chinese, but the likes of Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, who started their own fashion line,…

Trends that just shouldn’t be…

I’m a major supporter of all things denim.  I love jeans and can’t count the # of jeans I own on my hands, feet, and ears.  Some women love shoes.  Others love bags.  I happen to adore the versatility and  comfort of jeans.  You can dress them up, you can dress them down.  You can…
