The world of fashion magazines is a strange and sometimes frightening one - particularly if you’re a budgeting fashion addict forced to stare down the nose of $700 stilettos and $2,500 rings.
Fortunately, there are a plethora of options when it comes to fashion publications to choose from, but which are worth your time and which [...]
Most people don’t regard Shape Magazine as a “fashion foward” magazine… But you’d be surprised as the number of amazing tips they give you through their section titled “Look Great“!
In this month’s issue, Shape’s monthly “Fashion Workbook” offers up The Shoes You NEED In Your Closet. Unfortunately, only two examples out of their six necessities [...]
The list, which I’ve honestly been writing since early summer, is finally getting long enough to justify actually purchasing some of the items on it. Much to the chagrin of my boyfriend, bank account, and impending move (hey, this is a bargain blog, not a financially responsible blog…), I fully intend to acquire each and every [...]

Eewww, deodorant talk on a fashion blog? Hell yes! Why? Because this is the best deodorant I’ve used in a really long time. And I’m coming to terms with the fact that B&B may actually be… a shopping blog. More on that later.
During the day, especially lately, I’ve been having to go through storage lockers, [...]
You know what I like to do?
When it gets hot out, I love to plan a trip to the beach with my friends. So when the time comes, I throw on a mini, a silk halter top, and to really exemplify the joys of summer, my faaaavorite stiletto sandals to go pal around on the [...]
While wandering through a department store a few weeks ago, I looked in one of their omnipresent mirrors and noticed that the eyeshadow I’d put on this morning… had been misplaced.
Always a joy.
So I headed for their non-existent eye shadow primer section, where I was determined to find something that would make my eyes as [...]
If you’re one of the many who walks by the windows of a Bergdorf Goodman and instnatly becomes hypnotized by the matte, complacent mannequins staring in every which-way, draped in beautiful clothing… Get ready to meet your new favorite site.

See above. I can’t help but raise an eyebrow to the tucking mechanisms of this look. Tossing a belt around a billowy shirt is one thing, but a shirt that fits slightly loosely does not a “billowy shirt” make… You know?
