I'm trying to be more disciplined. While my busy life works best with a schedule - my main "blog work" days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening, and Monday nights are for doing nothing productive at all - ...
Mmmm, sample sales. They're the first thing you think of in the morning - not because of your passionate love of sales, but instead because upon opening your e-mail application, you have 734 sale notification e-mails from the 852 different ...
It's always interesting to see who purchases clothing online, and who doesn't. There's always a few of each in a crowd who are adamant about their stand on internet clothing purchases. "I can't try anything on, how am I ...
I love the "Add to Cart" button as much as the next avid shoe/bag/dress-lover. Trust me, there was a time in my life when I was swimming in cash (& subsequently1 debt) when I would surf Zappos and just chuck whatever ...
Right now, I'm kitty-sitting. My Dad has shed his hard, rough, I Hate The Small And Furry shell and become a father yet again to two gigantic kittens cats. I have been summoned to watch them play, cuddle with ...
We are strapped in ever so many ways. Strapped for cash, strapped for time, strapped for enthusiasm. I like to take momentary straps very seriously. Meet the Viking Buckle Boot. These spoke to me (softly, and sweetly) from the Reverse ...
Like the ever-coveted Reverse (members only - that link is my referral), Revolve clothing has yet another sibling site - Forward. Forward places its focus on up and coming designers, i.e. what's next. Well, as would be shocking to no ...
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 ...
In this case, however, there's nothing to be sorry about. As a proud nerd, I have a penchant for classic American novels. While "I LYK GUD BOOKS" doesn't really look super awesome on a silk top, Out of Print has ...
While, when going out, you'll likely see me in something that has a decent balance of draped vs. skin-bearing, were I to have more opportunities to wear more ladylike items (not necessarily appropriate for dive bars, though, my philosophy clearly states ...
It's Jen! Lindsay's bestie, co-Demoiselle, and author of the socially-conscious fashion blog, Awakened Aesthetic. You might have noticed that our blogs are getting cuddly - I'll remove this text after we get to know each other! As I read Lindsay's ...
A while ago, I bought a "kit" by Bourjois Paris from BeautyTicket. Within this magical kit was a beautiful violet wet/dry shadow, a lavender creme eyeshadow, cute and tiny mascara, and the most epic, amazing liquid eyeliner I have ever ...
Charlotte Russe has come through with a crazy good sale... again. They're doing a "Buy One, Get the Second for $10" for all of their shoes. All. Oh, on a semi-related note, I decided today that I hate mules. Not ...
Currently enamored with the entirety of Yoox.com's inventory, but particularly infatuated with the "Sample Sale" portion of the site which will remain ridiculously inexpensive until April 20th. If someone would be so kind as to purchase the following pieces for ...
Of course, the day after I go on and on about my need for a smoke-print anything, this little gem shows up on Gilt: Perfect. (Snag it from Gilt quickly! It's going fast. $399) ...
While browsing through my typical repertoire of "I can't buy anything here" stores, I came upon 80sPurple and wondered if it belonged with such stores as Saks, Neiman Marcus and *cough* Nordstrom (What? I'm actually broke and beautiful, ok? I ...
Be it cement, underwear, illuminating primer, a plotline, tomato sauce, or olive oil... Foundations make or break any type of art or statement you attempt to create. When it comes to dressing (your body), I find solace in basics. You ...
I've decided, because it's November now, that you're probably all thinking about Christmas. From my 24 years of experience, I have found that these meet, if not exceed, all expectations for stocking stuffers. Carmex Carmex is the tingly-lip-making, super thick, ...
There's something classy, sly, and a little offensive about a beautiful woman in a flowing dress wearing a tuxedo jacket. Whether it's the nonchalance of the single button, or the gender-bending idea of a tuxedo jacket over a woman's form... ...
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, ...
