Guess Who #1

Nov 11.09 / Lindsay

So for the first Guess Who, I wanted it to exemplify what I’m trying to do here. Guess Who is a column that strives to prove that style, quality, and shape do not need to be expensive. They also need not be from a boutique, Neiman’s, Saks… etc. But you also don’t have to suffer [...]

Voom by Joy Han

Nov 04.09 / Lindsay

I’ve never cried while looking through a sample sale before. The tragedy beauty of the internet, however, allows me to do so from the comfort of my own home. On my own time, I can wake up, check email, check Hautelook for the Voom by Joy Han sale, check my bank accounts, and proceed to [...]

ECIG: A Cut Above Coins

Sep 30.09 / Lindsay

Long time no see for ECIG, am I right? Well, let me offer my most sincere apologies. I’ve definitely been neglecting this ace category, and that’s gotta stop! Our “Welcome Back” edition of ECIG goes to a Seattle artist named Wally. He runs his Etsy site, A Cut Above Coins, by actually cutting old, foreign [...]

Row|Nine

Sep 28.09 / Lindsay

New sample sale site! If you’re a seasoned collector, like me (see Event Calendar for proof), and want to join – comment on this post (entering your preferred email address in the fields) and I’ll shoot you an invite! Update! The lovely people over at Row|Nine have given me a proper link, so no more [...]

Who Is Jessica Bennet?

Sep 14.09 / Lindsay

This edition of Shoe Porn is dedicated to a designer whose shoes I’ve only recently discovered. Jessica Bennett, who apparently sells her shoes everywhere, and I just haven’t noticed. Awesome. So, her shoes aren’t only affordable, but they’re adorable and, well, a little offbeat (which I love). I originally saw her on Online Shoes but [...]

First Look: Poetic License

Sep 04.09 / Lindsay

Here we are, just less than a full week before the start of New York Fashion Week, and already a preview! If you’re not familiar with Poetic License, they’re a fabulously unique brand that delivers whimsical-yet-classy heels. Imagine if Modern Vintage and Irregular Choice had a shoe-baby; it’d be Poetic License. Their Spring ’10 line [...]

Playing Dress-Up with Bluefly

Jul 07.09 / Lindsay

Bluefly is offering new customers $20 off their $100+ order with the code: AFF20 via their affiliates (me!) for the entire month of July. Don’t get stressed – you have all month! What better excuse, though, to play “Dress-Up-With-Things-That-Cost-Less-Than-$100″? I can’t think of one. Actually, I can think of a reason not to play it… [...]

ECIG: Black Heart Bunny

Mar 02.09 / Lindsay

Sorry for the lapse in ECIG posts (for newbies, ECIG = Eye Candy [by] Indie Genius, a hybrid of two former semi-regular posts – and it’s totally better), but I’m trying to get back on track after a highly indulgent, completely unproductive week (which is hopefully over). It’s been full of from-scratch coconut curries, Freaks [...]

BCBGMAXAZRIA Origami Dress

Sep 17.08 / Lindsay

If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know that I’m absolutely dress crazy! I love dresses, I love their feminine qualities, their edgy qualities, their versatility, their classiness, their timelessness…. I could go on. It’s definitely not rare that I’m captivated by a dress, but it’s rather unusual that I’m caught staring at a glowing computer [...]

Gossip Girl: The Dark Night

Sep 16.08 / Lindsay

This was a particularly fancy episode, thanks to a scandalous soiree… So let’s get to the garments. Leighton/Blair always has the sassiest, most preppy attire – which I loved. As she was scheming, she wore a cute, sleeveless, ruffled top with a dusty gold headband. Too cute. Also, too confining. I love her when she’s [...]
