Typically, between my daily store-memorization routines and sociocultural analysis (read: street style & runway shows on my Macbook while eating peanut butter from the jar), I can usually pinpoint where trends originate - be it a specific designer, or a ...
I can tell that I'm teetering on the edge of killing the magic of fall for all of you by posting everything but the Pumpkin Spice Latte when it comes to autumnal imagery. I can't help it, I am sorry. ...
Finally, I can check another thing off of my "adult" list: high-performance, outdoor boots that aren't ugly. And they exist for a price that I am comfortable with, given the amount of years I expect these things to last. These ...
Maybe it's my age, or my desire to spend my money on things that truly make me happy, but lingerie and intimates have been showing up on my wish lists more often since I hit my late 20s. It could ...
Happy October! I have a feeling that there are a large number of you who patient wait all year for October to get here, and then use the entire month as an excuse to add a little spook into your daily ...
ThredUp, the secondhand store that looks like a new, mid-range clothing store with a price glitch. Stocking brands like Banana Republic, Donna Karan and J. Crew literally next to luxury labels like Jimmy Choo and Diane Von Furstenberg can put you in ...
Draping is a magical thing. It can be done so poorly and still not look that different than draping that's been done really well. It's all in the details. The women of the world don't have enough light-colored coats. For that matter, ...
Milwaukee-based department store, Bon-Ton has recently taken hold of the fashion internet as I've been seeing them everywhere, and they have announced their fall/winter private collection of clothing from their in-house Ruff Hewn line.

While looking for winter-friendly dresses (can hide leggings under, can wear sweater over, etc.), I came across the most relaxed, carefree-looking dress I've possibly ever seen. A t-shirt maxi dress that makes your sleeveless maxi dress look stuffy. A little Grecian, ...
Approaching autumn & winter, I have almost no concerns other than it won't get here fast enough. I'm already ramping up my fall inspiration on Tumblr and just got my first pair of "it's gonna be cold" boots last week. ...But ...
For the last several years, I have been focused on shopping my own closet, using what I have, and maximizing my wardrobe to provide me the largest number of outfits that hold my interest. This is due to both my obsession ...

It's been a long time since I've seen a subscription box. After a colorful history with these little monthly gift boxes, I was pretty sure that I had said hello and goodbye to my last auto-charge. I can't say that ...
Leggings have no season. They are pretty much appropriate 100% of the time, and thank goodness for that because I live in them. Several years ago, I was a "leggings aren't pants" person, and felt as strongly about it as I ...
It's been a long time since I've visited the vast and wide lands of eBay - internet equivalent of New York City. Some parts are nice, and full of beautiful treasures... others are confusing, scary, and sometimes even downright spooky. ...
When fashion combines with efficiency - with a dash of peer pressure from minimalism - you get capsule wardrobes. Here's the scoop on where the idea came from, and how you can work it into your lifestyle. ...
Did you know that you could shop Nordstrom Rack online? Maybe it's because I'm a Nordstrom kid - being a kid in love with fashion in Seattle will do that to you - but I think that Nordstrom Rack is on ...
That is a mouthful of a product name. The most common color in my denim pile (yes, pile) is gray. By a long shot. It's my comfort-color, my favorite neutral, and one of the most flattering ones, as far as I'm ...
A lot of dresses on this site look like something you should sleep in, and in fact, that's something I'm rather proud of. This dress, on the other hand, looks so much like a piece of gorgeous lingerie that I almost feel ...
Solestruck is known for its outlandish designs and imaginative inventory. You'll see labels like Jeffrey Campbell, Ego & Greed, Doc Martens and Sam Edelman ruling the virtual shelves, and if you know those brands, you know that they not only take ...
