In honor of Earth Day... ...I'm going to talk about Diesel. ... Yep! And how they have, to this day, my favorite ad campaign and maybe the only ad campaign where I didn't really care about the product, but I ...
If you don't love Burt's Bees, I question your motives. Seriously. They are an amazing company with the right set of ethics, and the right approach to the cosmetic industry -- health, ingredients, and processing standards come first, while a ...
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 ...
I came across an absolutely stunning art installation the other day - unfortunately only digitally - that really captured me. The artist, Pasadena-based Pae White, is enamored with elusive moments, and captures them via unconventional materials. This is a piece ...
I've come to terms with the fact that I like wedges more than any heel you could ever show me. So I've started to collect them, slowly. Next on the list? Wedge boots. Mid-calf, ankle, knee-high... I really don't care, ...
Trust me, I never thought I'd say it either but... Man, all I can think about is this jumpsuit from indie designer Kristinit: Better than the fact that it's stunningly gorgeous is the fact that it's 100% organic linen. Summertime? ...
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 ...
There are two things bringing me to my knees this week: 1) Influenza. I hate calling it "The Flu" - it is not a gangster rapper, it is a highly respectable illness that has captured the lives of many people. ...
...man, the idea is appealing sometimes. Like those times when you wake up, look around, see that no, you didn't magically do laundry without your own knowledge the day before, and yes, there are only four clean items of clothing ...
Revenge?! So close to True Romance? Yes. Why? Because I'm self-centered. I'm self-centered to the point that everything on this website revolves around me, and where my head is in the world of fashion. Well, my head just ended a ...
This post could go one of two ways: - It could be a post about brutal, insane, murderous, instable romance a la Quentin Tarantino (& Brad Pitt in a most hilarious role), or... - It could actually be about concentrated, ...
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 ...
It's been over a year since I moved to Chicago, and I'm finally starting to feel some roots forming. That means, of course, I now feel entitled to want better amenities. While I was still in the honeymoon phase of ...
Ahh, Christmas Eve Eve. A notorious day, commonly spent in a fit of anxiety, rushing from grocer to grocer looking for that damned mustard, or frantically organizing sleeping situations for house guests... Rushing from in-law-home to in-law-home wishing you could ...
But leave the jewels for the conservative... These are my kind of diamonds: Or maybe some crimson... I hate fringe, but c'mon... Who's looking at the freaking fringe? Not me, that's who. Time to start saving my nickels! Irregular Choice ...
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 ...
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, ...
Naturally, as summer winds (quickly) to a close, and winter begins to set... I have this amazing craving for dresses. Uncontrollable, nearly. I'm not even confident that I would wear any of them, I just want them. Now. Candystore Collective ...
Often times, the subway not only provides adequate transportation, but it also leaves me coveting someone else's belongings. This time, it was a handbag. This is interesting because, not only do I rarely pay attention to handbags, but I don't ...
