Dove Grey

Nov 09.09 / Lindsay

Often times, the subway not only provides adequate transportation, but it also leaves me coveting someone else’s belongings. This time, it was a handbag. This is interesting because, not only do I rarely pay attention to handbags, but I don’t really use one. I have a HOBO Int’l Rachel Wallet that Cleary gave me, and [...]

The Ultimate ECIG: Novica

Aug 13.09 / Lindsay

When I look into Indie Designers, I have a lot of criteria. Typically, I’m a fairly picky person. I’ve been called “pretentious”, a snob, an elitist… I don’t really care, honestly. If I’m going to drop top dollar on a piece of clothing, it had better have me so excited about it, I’m all but [...]

Mapel’s Happy Hour: Lace-y Sex Perfection!

Mar 19.09 / Lindsay

Remember when I told you that Mapel’s “Happy Hour” discounts were turning from weekly into daily? Well, it’s finally starting to tug at my bank account’s heartstrings… Particularly with this little number on sale today: Lace Tote by Compose $68 $51 Not only am I on a hunt for a new bag, but I think [...]

New Spring Bag(s?)

Mar 10.09 / Lindsay

While packing up all my belongings and getting ready to move to Chicago, I deleted six purses from my life. Six. That is three times my current collection. (Can you do the math? I confused myself, too, don’t worry.) Let’s get right to the issue: I have two purses. I have ~25 pairs of shoes, [...]

Trend I’m Loving: The Oversized Clutch

Feb 02.09 / Lindsay

While this trend definitely isn’t a new one, it seems to be finally catching on – at least in the affordable-price sandbox I play in, anyway. These beautiful, eye-catching bags have been popping up all over the place as of late. I’ve started to notice that there are several kinds of oversized clutch – different [...]

Focusing On: Mad By Design

Sep 09.08 / Lindsay

I have been waiting years and years to come across a design company that doesn’t create what sells, but creates the embodiment of design. Mad By Design’s aesthetic and ingenius designs have completely won me over for that very reason. They’re the kind of company that, when Cosmo says that boho is chic for fall, [...]

Summer Cocktail Parties: What to wear?

Jun 18.08 / Lindsay

It’s summer cocktail party season, so it’s time to get out, make some saucy drinks, and get swanky! Here are a few ways to rock the martini scene in your own unique way. All dresses are from the amazing, underrated Fashion Bug, and their line Studio 1940: Studio 1940(R) pleated frame dress – $34.99 Classy [...]

Hot For Spring: THE BLUES!

May 12.08 / Lindsay

Blue, turquoise, cornflower, powder blue, baby blue… Accessories are all singing these synonymous phrases as spring approaches. It’s about time that fashion’s blue-escapades expanded past the ever-present (yet classy) navy. THE BLUES IN THE SHOES: Blue shoes can pop any outfit… Especially skirt-laden outfits! I’d suggest avoiding the urge to rock blue shoes with jeans [...]

Apr 03.08 / Lindsay
