Solid Scented
Oct 28.10 / Lindsay
I cannot believe that perfume is so expensive. I bought my first bottle of perfume two years ago with a Macy’s gift card – it was my all-time favorite campaign, Diesel’s Fuel For Life. After a few catastrophic and intense life events (and a post with amazing reader insight), I decided… it was time for [...]
Curing Boredom: Vanessa Quijano
Jan 15.10 / Lindsay
There are lots of reasons that I don’t own more jewelry, but one of the main reasons is, well… Jewelry lovers, consider this fair warning: you’re not going to like what you’re about to hear.

Paper dolls have always been kind of a romantic idea.

ECIG: Lucid New York
Jun 15.09 / LindsayThis week, I decided to ask the ever-listening Twitter crowd who their favorite independent, affordable, talented designer was… The first, name I heard: Lucid New York. Of course! Why didn’t I think of it before? This girl, Anna of Lucid New York, is on the rise, people. From buzzing away on Twitter to being featured [...]
Focusing On: Stone Soup Jewelry

I just discovered the most amazing website, Smashing Darling, as a product of a Twitter friendship and – I have to say – this may be the best site I’ve been introduced to in a long time. It’s claims to be “Leading the Indie Fashion Revolution”, and I totally agree – it’s like Etsy on [...]
