Recently, I spent two weeks away from home. I was living out of a duffel bag and spending a lot of time in other people's space, so it was important that I pack smart... which I thought I had done ...
There isn't much lingerie featured on this website. It's not because I don't like it, and it's definitely not because I don't buy it... It's because I'm bitter about it. I am not an easy lady to fit when it comes ...
As a jewelry-phobe, my collection is still pretty small. I used to build my jewelry confidence by having a plethora of tiny, inconsequential necklaces on fine, skinny chains that held on minimalist charm or a tiny pendant. They were "everyday ...
High-waisted jeans have such a special place in my heart. I am a big fan of high-waisted anything because I, myself, have a high waist so it's more like "normal-waisted jeans" for me. As a bonus, they make me feel like ...
I'm really excited that headphones have been getting more design attention lately, because they will likely be a constant in my life, and developing a wide and varied collection of cool headphones is something I can see myself doing. Seems ...
This dress is a little bit casual, a little bit formal... AKA a good way to trick people into thinking you put effort into "dressing up" for something when all you did was put on a dress with multiple personalities. ...
According to the many reviews I've read online: this stuff is pretty great. Countless beauty bloggers have named it as their favorite product from the Sephora x Pantone line, and after reading about it, I can see why. This lid stain (I ...
Sweater Print Duvet: three words that seem out of order, backwards, and just generally wrong. But add in the idea of a photographic print of a sweater, and things start to make sense. If you're trying to set up a neutral-but-not-boring ...
It turns out that H&M has a lot of little secrets that it's been keeping. First, their home decor selections and now, their extended-size line, H&M+. There is a full line of really beautiful dresses, awesomely cheap basics and it's ...
The easiest things to wear are the basics that don't really look like basics. Offbeat basics are what I usually call them, but they don't necessarily have to be outrageous or odd - just basic... but not really. I'm not a ...
Some of you may have heard me talk about it some time ago, but I am having a bit of a fantasy about creating a white bookshelf that only has white things on it. That's about as far as the ...
Caution: this will make you skeptical. This is a real, live, high-end brand whose price tags are definitely indicative of the quality of the product... and it's available to you for less than $10. They are having a completely out of ...
Oxblood aka maroon aka burgundy aka dark red is a pretty quintessential fall color, for me. Truth be told, it's a year round color for me because the only thing that really changes about my style from season to season ...
I probably could have turned this into some kind of "here come the BIg Scary Holidays" pun post, being that there are gold rings involved, but I took the high road and I think that was the right choice. While ...
Solid perfume is one of my irrational addictions, right up there with blank notebooks and coffee. There's something about having the ability to smell awesome at a moment's notice that I really like. I am not a girl with a thousand ...
Few things are easier than a jersey dress that's interesting and awesome all by itself. It feels like pajamas, but it looks like an amazing (and really inexpensive) splurge. Faux leather mixed with a grey jersey is already really, really ...
Wrap shirts have kind of a crappy reputation with a lot of people. Some immediately associate the idea with the ubiquitous and thus somewhat boring wrap dress, a la Diane Von Furstenberg... But I have been seeing wrap-related clothing being ...
There are some shapes that I feel look good on just about everyone. Something that ties at the waist, has somewhat wide straps (to accommodate bra wearing, if you're into that) and a v-neck are a few key features that ...
These small palette sets have saved my life so many times. I have a Stila palette that has lasted me way past the time I should probably have gotten rid of it (we're talking like 4 years - I have a ...
Layering weather is bittersweet. Example: Let's say you live on the steepest hill in Seattle. Let's say... you don't have a car. There's a coffee shop at the bottom of the hill, and you want to go to there, get ...
