Here's a personal question: would you ever wear secondhand cosmetics? I have to cautiously admit that I am not... totally... grossed out by it? I mean, it's not like secondhand cosmetics are found at the bottom of a purse at Value Village and ...
When I first saw the model/actress, Jaime King, she was "James King" and there was no possibly way she could get cooler. It was the mid-90s, she was 15 one of the top runway models for Christian Dior and Chanel, and ...
If you've considered checking out Poshmark to sell your clothes but aren't sure that it's worth your time, please allow me to be your test subject. I offer myself as tribute. Of all the ways to get rid of old ...
For the last two years, my go-to leggings for everything from swanky events and casual days to personal training and five mile hikes has been Bombsheller. They've been a well-kept secret (with a few glimpses on Instagram), but I'm ready ...
Every time I go to Bombsheller with the intention of selecting my next pair, it inevitably turns into an emotional rollercoaster full of hopeless indecision, self-doubt, and the confrontation of deep inner longings. But after that's all over, I get ...
Soap & Paper Factory doesn't actually sell paper. And, sure, they have some soaps, I guess, but I've always loved them for their fragrances. When they paired up with the highly-reputed visual designers at Patch NYC, the two produced a line ...
Oh, you'd better believe I've been keeping up with StyleSaint. Ever since I first featured StyleSaint, they've continuously held my attention by being an innovative, direct-seller of sustainable fashion. Every time I come to this site, I fall more and ...

Bandit Brand t-shirts have been on my graphic t-shirt radar for over five years now, yet I still haven't managed to get my hands on one of their sexy, comfy tees. There's something special about Bandit Brand graphic t-shirts that ...
Remember Naja Lingerie? The lingerie company that educates and employs women while creating affordable lingerie made from luxury fabrics? I wrote about Naja at length a few months ago, detailing their beautiful bras and amazing patterns and getting lost in the ...
Maybe it's my age, or my desire to spend my money on things that truly make me happy, but lingerie and intimates have been showing up on my wish lists more often since I hit my late 20s. It could ...
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 ...
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 ...
I fell in love with graffiti/street artist Sam Flores' use of animal and nature imagery in his designs, and the clean but exaggerated qualities of his zen-like figures. Take a look at his graphic t-shirt collection on Upper Playground... ...
Occasionally, I give in and try a trend I never really warmed up to. I am a firm believer in second chances (but not necessarily thirds), and know from experience that nearly 100% of clothes look entirely different than they ...
If you have a New Year's resolution to do more cooking at home (which will save you bundles of cash, by the way! Do it! [Mom!]) and you are a music fanatic like me, then this subscription box is about ...
At one point, when I was still in middle school, I had a collection of sunglasses that was unmatched. I remember arranging them neatly and evenly on a shelf that spanned about 60 inches, placing them each about 3 inches ...
...but that's the hashtag they've been using since its invention in 2010, so I guess that's what we're going with! Believe it or not, Small Business Saturday, which takes place the Saturday after Thanksgiving, was started by mega-monster credit card ...
