I was browsing last month's Lucky Magazine this morning, and came across the most beautiful, delicate necklace on one of the "I'm Loving This" pages. It was almost a broken tulip shape, with the bud at the chain, and a ...
Sometimes, I'll glance at a new "trend" and grimace. Occasionally, I'll raise an eyebrow... But usually, my head and my heart match up as far as opinion. ...But sometimes, they don't. I'm experiencing some inner conflict over my desire to ...
I don't really own "nice dresses". A large part of my adolescence was spent as a tomboy. Hanging out with the boys, playing sports religiously, and wearing JNCOs with Converse was a right, not a privilege. I cringed at the ...
Our "Welcome Back" edition of ECIG goes to a Seattle artist named Wally. He runs his Etsy site called A Cut Above Coins where he sells the jewelry he handmakes by actually cutting old, foreign coins. I saw my first cut ...
I'm typically loathe to post about celebrities, reality stars, or the crazies in between - but this is a rare occasion. Lauren Conrad, a la The Hills & Laguna Beach, totally sucked at the whole "high fashion" thing, as her ...
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, ...
Just a mere 8 months ago, I sat comfortably in the "I Hate Shorts" zone. Now, I'm living in a city where heat is supposed to reign in once it hits July - and all I can fet out of ...
Bluefly is offering new customers $20 off their $100+ order with the code: AFF20 via their affiliates (me!) for the entire month of July. Don't get stressed - you have all month! What better excuse, though, to play "Dress-Up-With-Things-That-Cost-Less-Than-$100"? I ...
I know that I overuse the word "obsessed". In fact, just this morning I wrote an email back to reader, Patty, and I think I dropped the "o-bomb" about 3 times. As far as posts go, the most recently abused ...
I'm unsure how to describe the subject of my current lusting... It's really half pump, half wedge... But it shouldn't be classified as either, individually. It's really a hedge or a wheel... Or maybe a whedgle, but it only works ...
There is one thing that honestly plagues me about being a budget fashion obsessive... All the cheap, great deals I find - dresses for $40, tops for $25, etc... - they're great and everything, but my lust for fashion falls ...
I received an email from a reader, and discovered that I have readers who go to prom!! How exciting. I didn't get a chance to attend my high school's prom, because I was enrolled in a program called "Running Start" ...
This is an edition of ECIG that is near and dear to my heart. If you read Awakened Aesthetic or Clutch 22, you'll likely have seen the name SPUN before. A Seattle-based woman created Spun - a sustainable, organic clothing ...
After the ColorPlay: Orange and Black and White post last week, I got a lot of responses similar to this: "OMG ORANGE?! So bright and so scary, scary!" Well, not exactly like that, but the fear was definitely apparent. So ...
This week's edition of ECIG is special for two reasons. 1. It's the first new ECIG since I spaced out and messed up last week's. (Special!) 2. It's an interview! I came across Janean Johnson's collection of one-of-a-kind pieces on ...
Photo by RedupReda I thought ColorPlay should start having some photo inspiration... Color is one of the fiercest points of photographs; the absence of it, the over-saturation, the sepia tones, the combinations... They all play an emotional part in photographs, ...
Ohhh, the B&B Awful Title department is celebrating this one with bottles of champagne and caviar. If you haven't heard, little Miss Fergie (aka Stacey Ferguson de la Black Eyed Peas) has launched a line of footwear with Brown Shoe. ...
You're taught in elementary school about "the color wheel", including information on complimentary colors, mixing colors and, of course, clashing colors - colors that don't mesh. This, my friends, is what keeps people in red + blue, green + yellow, ...
I've been getting tons of questions about this fancy thing called a bomber jacket. It's got you all in a frenzy! I completely understand why, though... It's easy, it's casual, it's dressy, it's edgy, it's polished... It's the most amazing ...
If you're not privy to the amazing, wonderful, heart-exploding cuteness that is Fifi Lapin, you'd better catch up quick. The bunny blogs about her life and adventures (nope, no typo) on her namesake blog, located here. She's got one of ...
