Dress Your Blogger – My First Meme
Jun 04.09 / Lindsay
I’m not usually one to do “memes” on my blog, but I figured that if I made one, it would be acceptable. I don’t know where the word “meme” came from but, not only is it annoying, but I can never be sure that I’m saying it right – which makes it more annoying. I’ve [...]
Okay, too far, American Apparel
May 25.09 / Lindsay
I’ve been known to enjoy a fashion flashback or two in my day, but I know when to stop. I know to put the snap bracelet down if I’m wearing leggings. I know to leave the wedges and daisy chains at home if I’m wearing something flowy. I definitely know to ditch the fake mole [...]
There IS a difference…
Apr 07.09 / Lindsay
Sometimes, I’ll get emails from people about this site, complaining about the prices of the garments I feature on the blog. It’s not “broke” enough for a lot of people and, honestly, I’m okay with that. There are tons of blogs that’ll show you designer knockoffs (recognizing that they’re knockoffs), $5 shirts, PVC/plastic shoes, etc… [...]
“Complex”, I’m sure…
Mar 21.09 / LindsaySo, after a grueling morning in a new pair of Payless ShoeSource heels, I stopped by Walgreen’s to pick up some much needed Blister Block tape thing by Dr. Scholl’s and a measuring tape for my t’n'a. Whenever I’m in a drugstore, I like to check out the magazine rack, because I’m a total …
Lovely Lady Pumps?
Mar 18.09 / Lindsay
Ohhh, the B&B Awful Title department is celebrating this one with bottles of champagne and caviar. If you haven’t heard, little Miss Fergie (aka Stacey Ferguson de la Black Eyed Peas) has launched a line of footwear with Brown Shoe. She previously had a “budget” line of handbags via Kipling… But I haven’t seen too [...]
Socks and Shoes
Mar 02.09 / Lindsay
Growing up, “socks” and “shoes” almost always came to my ears in the same sentence. “Get your socks and shoes on!”Any time we went anywhere, “socks and shoes!” It was engrained into my childhood. But at some point, completely unbeknownst to me, this phrase slipped away as I entered adulthood. Maybe it was the first [...]
How Do You Like Your Product Photos?
Feb 28.09 / Lindsay
Sitting at home alone on a Saturday night (hey, it’s by choice…?) makes you think about some interesting things. “Do octopodi get sore?” “Does the girl across the hall worship Satan?” “How does the skin of an onion get so papery?” “Why can’t my refrigerator refill itself?” Then I came across a question that not [...]
I Think I Have a Shopping Addiction
Feb 26.09 / Lindsay
Seriously. I think I have a shopping addiction… But it’s not like the contemporary “shopping addiction” where I max out everyone and their Mom’s credit cards until the sky comes falling down around me and my chihuahua is seized by the government, no. My shopping addiction is a little more simplified than that. I am [...]
Inspiration Board: Old Lady Chic
Feb 21.09 / Lindsay
I’ve been really digging the style of the more “seasoned” ladies of the world lately. Especially ladies in their Sunday best, old Italian ladies who look like they could kick your ass, and the ditsy little prints and semi-orthopedic-looking heels that keep these women looking their best on a daily basis. This is all including [...]
The “Boyfriend Jean” – Are you into it?
Feb 12.09 / Lindsay
Oh wow, could we possibly hear any more gab about this boyfriend jean craze?! If you’re looking to point fingers, I personally suggest Katie Holmes for making this denim idea into a worldwide fuss. Baggy, torn, rolled, low, faded… All the qualties of “boyfriend jeans.” Personally, I resent the title – “boyfriend jeans”. If I [...]
