A few weeks ago, I was invited to check out a new service: Octer.com. Aside from having a cool name, they provide a cool shopping service. They take all of the products from fashion spots around the net and compile ...
When the 1990s come back into style, full-swing... is that going to include the return of those mini-backpacks? Remember those? The straps were like 3x longer than they really needed to be, so the backpack (which is about half the ...
It doesn't take a fashion anthropology degree to figure out where bomber jackets aka flight jackets got their name. Traditionally, bomber jackets were made out of really hardy, durable material suitable for temperatures at high altitudes. Leather, sheepskin, one thousand layers ...
The challenge of building a capsule wardrobe is simultaneously alluring and frightening. The idea of a capsule wardrobe, for those who don't know, is using a set number of garments and accessories for an entire season (or if you have commitment ...
Cobalt blue is a color that doesn't really have an obvious season associated with it. It fits in with every type of weather, every climate, and every skin tone. Lately, I've been drawn to it, and due to it being a ...
Above image via Layers of Chic That title is one of the least clear I've given you in a while but do you know what I mean? I might be hypnotized be all of the "festival fashion" emails I've been ...
The first time I tried PajamaJeans, I have to admit that I held a healthy amount of skepticism upon receiving the package. Having seen so, so, so many "jean leggings" that look like a child drew jeans onto thin tights with ...
Let's take a trip down memory lane for a second. Remember how amazing leather midi skirts are? They're kind of the best, right? They flow easily from season to season, add a BAMF vibe to whatever you're wearing but ultimately keep you in ...
They may have been considered "underwear" in your youth, or perhaps existed only as something you wore under your snow suit, but thermal undershirts are one of my favorite types of tops. But keeping them only as an undershirt would be ...
While shuffling through the clearance section at Macy's, I couldn't help but notice... there were more superheroes than normal. (Graphic t-shirts, that is.) As to why some of them are marked down to $5.99 with all sizes available..? I do not know. Being a ...
I don't know what the fashion industry has against warm lower backs, but so many of the cute jackets I see around this seasonally transitional time of year stop just short of covering my coldest curve: my ass. Despite my ...
If you're a longtime reader, you may notice that I have a particular undying love for a few different motifs. No matter what the object, if it's covered in a cool photographic print, I dig on fair isle knits, and ...
After a summer full of droughts and heat waves, Earth sure didn't waste any time transitioning from brain melting to bone chilling, did it? I've been drowning myself in hot coffee every morning, not just because of my extreme addiction ...
It's weird that backpacks are associated most often with grade school aged kids when, in reality, the need for backpacks never seems to end. College backpacks are essential because you have six times the number of books and twelves times ...
As far as non-heeled shoes go, my flat of choice is always sneakers. Lately, I've been jonesing for a pair of high top sneakers which, thankfully, are bountiful around this time of year due to Back To School season swinging ...
When I was a little kid, I was vehement about becoming an adult as soon as humanly (or super-humanly) possible. I fantasized about putting gas in my own car, cooking in my own kitchen, and of course, writing my own checks. That ...
Ever since I saw Swedish Hasbeens for the very first time, I have been attracted to heeled clogs and clog-style sandals. This has confused the living hell out of me as there's literally nothing appealing to me about clogs or ...
Druzy rings, or anything featuring the natural texture of stones and crystals, already drive me crazy with romance, but when you add this gold-bronze color and these bajillion fractal peaks, it compounds my love for natural textures. I can't resist ...
