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 ...
Madras 641, or M641, is an independent designer that I discovered on Smashing Darling this morning, then realized I totally follow on Twitter! Small, fashionable world. Not only are her pieces affordable (most I've seen are under $60), but they're ...
Miss jfount left me a comment on Comfort Does Not = Ugly regarding Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block ($6.79), singing it's praises. Since I have the utmost faith in my readers/friends, I thought I'd share it with you! I will throw ...

While this trend definitely isn't a new one, it seems to be finally catching on - at least in the affordable-price sandbox I play in, anyway. These beautiful, eye-catching bags have been popping up all over the place as of ...
I know I just finished hating hard on the whole "homeless" look, but I think that the idea of fingerless opera gloves, or whatever you want to call them, are SO appealing! I'd wear them under 1/2 and 3/4 sleeve ...
Coffee fits don't usually send me to interesting, life-enhancing places. Typically, they send me anywhere that a) smells like coffee, b) has actual coffee for sale and c) isn't a Starbucks. Inside of these places - a number of things: ...
I'm not sure why I needed the title of this post to sound to fancy and classy... I'm here to talk about rubber boots - not the classiest member of the footwear world. Although, that doesn't mean that they aren't ...
I have it. The best kind of fun: cheap, stimulating, social, enriching, and acceptable anytime! It was given to me by my amazing sister, Cleary, and I couldn't be happier! It's called Table Topics, A Conversation Topics Game. Here's a ...
This is the first installment of B&B's 1st Annual Gift Guide! Hooray! I chose Design-Conscious Lady as the first gift-recipient because, well... I have one in my family: my Mom. I know I've been going on and on about my ...
Finding a good moisturizer, to me, seems to be a parallel of finding the perfect person to spend the rest of your life with. You'll encounter some that are good for the moment, but not long term.... Some that only ...
Photo by [auro]. With all the travelling I've been doing lately, it's starting to feel like a day planner/personal assistant required task just to get presentable in the morning. Not only am I exhausted (can't wait until THAT stops), but ...
The thought of icy crystals swirling in the air and frigid winds conjure up ideas of hot toddies, blankets, stove parties, and striking up a conversation with your oldschool radiator. But what of going out? What's a lady supposed to ...
Today was not one of my best days (as most of my Twitter gals know - sorry ladies!). I wasn't synced with anyone, communication-wise - I felt like my head was all cottonwool and foggy. I responded poorly to most ...
Photo by FredArmitage Posts about flats on B&B are not few and far between... But there's something to be said about the value they hold to city girls. Particularly the girls who work office jobs, or have some type of ...
Ever since I laid eyes on the Gucci Babouska Messenger Bag ($2,395? Sure, I've got that on me, actually...), I've decided that I absolutely need one... I even went as far as to justify one with the thought: "I'm moving ...
Everyone loves 'em. There are few things better than the feeling you get when you're sitting at your office, dreading your next meeting, drinking stale coffee, and you remember... You're wearing the sexy panties... Just like the feeling of meeting ...
It's time to shop for winter - I get it. I've been blasted with every newsletter conceivable screaming "BUY THIS LONG SLEEVED CASHMERE DRESS!" "DON'T FORGET KNEE HIGH BOOTS!" "GET THESE SCARVES ASAP!" ... Okay! I get it! Cold, brr... ...
