Well, I’m pregnant.

Oooh, gotcha! That was a good one, yes? I’m absolutely not pregnant, and if you know me on a personal level, you know how absolutely hilarious that idea is when you take into consideration my complete and all-encompassing fear of babies, children, and the idea of bearing them… [...]

Posts about flats on B&B are not few and far between… But there’s something to be said about the value they hold to city girls. Particularly the girls who work office jobs, or have some type of job that deems their work attire “high heel appropriate” who need to look great at work, [...]

Fine Feathered… Heads?

I’ve been seeing little feathery heads popping up not just all over the city or country, but world. These girls wearing headbands adorned with gorgeous plumes remind me of the early 1920’s when women would run rampant with their gin & jazz, taking over the male-dominated music and bar scene by storm, donning their shapeless [...]

As a result of the Skribit suggestion, I’m producing a post full of delicious steals based on the biggest trends in fall.
“Your posts are more and more expensive…pieces that are under 40$?” - Anonymous
I emphasize the word trend because, as these pieces are so inexpensive, their quality will also not be the same as slightly [...]

The power went out last night due to an almost-windstorm, so according to my life, it’s September 19th, 2003, 11:47pm.
That’s likely not true… But I have to go with it, you know?
The windstorm (combined with massive amounts of Sigur Ros-listening) made me feel really windy, chilly, and snow-y. I decided it’s about time I pulled [...]

It’s shaping up to be a pretty intense fall/winter, fashion-wise. The runways displayed deep, dark hues of black and brown mixes with whites, creams, and warmer neutrals.
So that means dark jewelry, simple with an edge, will be the perfect accessory to accompany the chilly season’s trends.

Focusing On: Stone Soup Jewelry

I just discovered the most amazing website, Smashing Darling, as a product of a Twitter friendship and - I have to say - this may be the best site I’ve been introduced to in a long time. It’s claims to be “Leading the Indie Fashion Revolution”, and I totally agree - it’s like Etsy on [...]

When she stepped off the bus, not only did she look fierce, but Blair Waldorf looked comfortable, chic and flirty as hell.

The best part is that there were only 4-5 components of her look, all easily incorporated into your currently wardrobe for easy mix’n’match outfits in the future.
While we can’t exactly tell you where the [...]

Teatime! 7.26.08

Admittedly, I’m a complete tea junkie.
My mommy gave me a cast iron teapot with a steeper in it, and because of it, I’ve been drinking all the tea I’ve ever wanted to.
Through my e-mails, I know that lots of you drink tea, too. . . So why not introduce a column about the best teas [...]

Everyone’s favorite natural cosmetic guru, LUSH Cosmetics, is re-releasing several of their old classics. “What’s old is new!” says their home page, proudly.
I used to be a member on the LUSH Cosmetics forums (yeah, I’m that addicted), and I would constantly watch people make posts about their favorite old scents, washes and products. “Discontinued! Sorry!” [...]
