Jenny Han: Just In Time for Tea
Jan 14.10 / Lindsay
As we all know, my true love obsession with Bad Joan is ever-present. The more designers they add, the more I adore them. The more categories they cover, the more I swoon. The smallest adjustments made to their inventory have me on my toes and, yes, there was someone named “Joan” in my dream last [...]
The Color & The Movement
Dec 21.09 / Lindsay
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I’ve been steadily progressing through what I call a “Grey Movement”. Many a shapeless-this, a monochromatic-that… Little did I know that this phase was just that – a phase. One morning, I woke up, looked in my closet and said… “Where the F%*2 [...]
Champagne Lace
Dec 15.09 / Lindsay
In a season wherein we examine the idea of “guilt” from every perspective, a little easy-free shopping feels really, really good. I received an email from Staci at Mapel screaming (adorably) “USE YOUR STORE CREDIT!” While I knew that Mapel had wicked inventory, I’ve been in a period for the last month or so of [...]
Mahtab Azimi
Oct 27.09 / Lindsay
I don’t really own “nice dresses”. A large part of my adolescence was spent as a tomboy. Hanging out with the boys, playing sports religiously, and wearing JNCOs with Converse was a right, not a privilege. I cringed at the thought of dresses… I hated dressing up for weddings, the theatre, anything remotely involving a [...]
ECIG: Totus Mel Tats
May 25.09 / Lindsay
Don’t get scared, guys! I’m not featuring someone who sells tattoos online or anything crazy like that, but I definitely understand if the idea of “tats” that aren’t permanent makes you draw a blank. The same thing happened to me the first time I saw Totus Mel’s Tats featured on Awakened Aesthetic… I thought “What [...]

Apr 24.09 / Lindsay
As Broke & Beautiful’s first themed week, Earth Week, comes to a close, I’d like to present a list of forward-thinking websites that will keep you comfortably clothed in the best, most affordable, highest quality eco-friendly fashions and accessories. This list has been compiled with the help of many people, but the biggest thanks go [...]
ECIG: I’m Your Present
Mar 09.09 / Lindsay
I’ve strayed away from my favorite indie designer site, Smashing Darling, today because I keep running into the same amazing designers over and over… I need new! I need fresh! So I’ve turned to an old standby – Etsy. There are few ways to go wrong with such a mecca of designers and DIY. The [...]
Eye Candy & Indie Genius: Laura Dawson
Feb 16.09 / Lindsay
Alright. Two weeks ago I asked for your help trying to find a new name for this hybrid post. I’m very disappointed! The only response I got… was from my Mom. Don’t get me wrong! I love Mom, and she’s just smashing, but there are almost 200 creative, beautiful people on that e-mail list – [...]
