This beauty review was contributed by my super-good friend Zoë, whose blossoming lipstick addiction has definitely affected our friendship in a neutral-to-positive way, and I am very grateful that she is sharing her experience with Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - a vegan, 100% ...
Obviously, I spend a lot of time sifting through websites, staring at products, memorizing inventory and making mental lists in order to write this blog with any kind of credibility or helpfulness, whatsoever, so I end up seeing the rate ...
Have you noticed the explosion of bluetooth wireless speakers in the last two years? Everywhere I look, I see a new bluetooth-connected wireless speaker that you can throw in your bag, and connect to your phone, computer, or any other music-producing ...
TJX asked me to use their three stores to come up with gifts for people in my life that I don't know. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Home Goods are ideal sources for gifts that are special and interesting, but are ...
I am about to get very serious with you. Like sit you down, put your electronics and valuable items to the side, and then look you dead in the eye while you feel the socks I have on. Yeah, the socks ...
Obviously, by 2015, most of us know not to trust most things labelled "FREE" - especially on the internet. Sadly, this knowledge was earned largely the hard way, and many have fallen victim to scams for decades. (This is a ...
Sometimes, I will rave and wax about a particular style or outfit for months, and I'll write about it here and post about on social media endlessly... but never actually wear it. It's usually the result of a combination of ...
If you've read B&B for longer than a few months, you may have picked up on my extreme appetite for charitable, do-gooder brands. I am weak in the knees for environmental consciousness in the fashion industry, and I brake for social activists. Over ...
Finally, I can check another thing off of my "adult" list: high-performance, outdoor boots that aren't ugly. And they exist for a price that I am comfortable with, given the amount of years I expect these things to last. These ...
ThredUp, the secondhand store that looks like a new, mid-range clothing store with a price glitch. Stocking brands like Banana Republic, Donna Karan and J. Crew literally next to luxury labels like Jimmy Choo and Diane Von Furstenberg can put you in ...
It's been a savings-filled and wildly indulgent three weeks for loyal Ulta shoppers. The annual 21 Days of Beauty event has been offering up cult favorite beauty products at around 50% off, and this last week will round out your ...
My boyfriend found Tuft & Needle by Googling the phrase "Warby Parker for mattresses." I'm not sure what led him to do this, but when you see their website it totally makes sense. Clean and beautiful web design, low prices--and, ...
It's been a long time since I've seen a subscription box. After a colorful history with these little monthly gift boxes, I was pretty sure that I had said hello and goodbye to my last auto-charge. I can't say that ...
Leggings have no season. They are pretty much appropriate 100% of the time, and thank goodness for that because I live in them. Several years ago, I was a "leggings aren't pants" person, and felt as strongly about it as I ...
Every day, I'm thankful to the Universe for finally providing some high-quality, easily accessible second hand shopping online. eBay only takes you so far before you lose all of your time and mind in the endless pages of listings. thredUP gets rid of all of that ...
Wood is an underused material in fashion, if you ask me. Before a few years ago, wood didn't have much more than a cameo as a purse handle or, bless, toggles on a terrible winter coat. Recently, though, a shift ...
My quest for comfortable-yet-flashy gear has reached a new milestone in its development, and that milestone's name is satin jean leggings. Yes, both jeans and leggings - but not jeggings. No, no... not jeggings at all. ...
If we remember the internet for one thing, it will probably be fandoms. Sites like Tumblr, Pinterest - even just Google Image search allows us to obsessively drool over whatever delectable mind-morsel we last thought about, or the last TV show ...
I've always shopped with my heart on my sleeve. I will happily give my heart to any piece that gives me goosebumps or makes me feel like a million marshmallows (read: comfortable and delicious). Shopping for "outfits" is something I only ...
Clothes are a lot like cars in the sense that, when you buy a new one and drive it off the lot, the value drops instantly. A piece of clothing can have the tags on and be completely unworn, but if ...
