Speaking of jewelry, another thing I've been attracted to lately in the bauble-verse is the combination of metal and leather. It can be a boring combination when designers don't put any thought or bravery behind it, but when you take ...
I am not a person who people, including myself, would probably ever describe as "sporty." Once upon a time, I was actually, literally sporty but these days, the vast majority of my cardio comes from shopping in wedge sneakers. I have no ...
Clothing-related emergencies are among the most potentially-embarrassing when you consider the scope of potential daily emergencies. It won't help you acquire coffee on extra cold days, or get out of bed on Monday mornings, but it will help you in daily emergencies ...
Shoes have always been my favorite part of fashion, ever since I was a teenager. At the height of my collection, I believe I had somewhere around 42 pairs, total. I was rinsing my bank account out bi-weekly, and had ...
It's been a while since we've discussed my ever-growing oxford collection and how it's not growing fast enough. ZARA has some insane sales. I was casually browsing when I noticed that a bunch of their shoes are only $19.99 right ...
Before you shoot me a thousand dirty looks for mentioning "shorts" in the middle of winter, hear me out. I mean, my argument isn't very complex - in fact, it's one word. Tights. Tights save shorts from a meager one-season ...
The trends of last year were pretty daring, when you think about it. 2013 had a lot of really bodacious (neon), provocative (lace) and dangerous (white white white!) trends, and I feel pretty exhausted (in a good way) just from ...
Once upon a time, I was a devoted lip stain collector. Lip stains won my heart for their lack of stickiness, the ease of application, and the super-inky colors you could conjure up with multiple applications. Maybe it's winter (which ...
No, thankfully, I am not offering up a shoebox of poorly constructed mix tapes from my 31 flavors of previous relationships, though that isn't a bad idea... Wait, yes it is. I'm talking about Cassette From My Ex, the book ...
The last time I wore corduroy was likely when I was 14. I had just finished up a soccer game far away from home, and had completely neglected to bring any other clothes with me, so I was facing a ...
I'm on a jacket kick lately, likely due to the fact that I've been forced to wear my standard (albeit adorable) wool coat for about 7 weeks straight, thanks to the whole winter thing. I'm so tired of my wool coat, ...
This is an item that's been on my wish list for far too long: a plaid utility shirt. Button down, dress shirt, flannel - whatever you want to call it (except flannel because that's a fabric and if the shirt isn't flannel, ...
When are skater dresses unflattering? Is that a time that exists? I have yet to see someone out in public who doesn't look good in this kind of shape. Particularly, the high-waist skater skirts or dresses with focus on the natural waist. ...
Maybe this is going to sound weird to some of you, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't have deodorant in my purse. There is literally nothing worse than being somewhere important and smelling yourself. Purse deo ...
There aren't enough blank posts on the internet to satisfy my love for boots. Especially colorful boots that are both comfortable and eye-catching. Wanted has never failed to bring the noise when it comes to boots. I have been buying their ...
Sifting through LCD-illuminated sale sections on the internet for hours at a time can make a person kind of insane, not to mention stir crazy. Every once in a while, to prevent mental breakdown, I have to get out and ...
While the rest of the country gets battered with ridiculously low temperatures and mounds upon mounds of snow, Team Pacific Northwest is sustaining a bit of a drizzle with temperatures hovering around 40ºF. I'm not sure I want to be ...
For the last year, I've been hunting down the perfect pair of tortoiseshell wayfarers. None of the pairs I've found have the right shape, or the right color tone, or the right pattern... I'm starting to think that I'm being ...
Recently, I purchased a bag that tops any of its successors in terms of size. The other day, I found myself getting out of my car with too many things to bring inside: coffee, a container of soup, and 5lbs. ...
I'm still not used to H&M being available online. I'll go a couple of weeks between looking at the site because it's not in my current natural, habitual lineup. You know, that list of places you go when you're looking ...
