A few weeks ago, I was invited to check out a new service: Octer.com. Aside from having a cool name, they provide a cool shopping service. They take all of the products from fashion spots around the net and compile ...
When the 1990s come back into style, full-swing... is that going to include the return of those mini-backpacks? Remember those? The straps were like 3x longer than they really needed to be, so the backpack (which is about half the ...
I know, I know - another secondhand clothing website. Don't worry, this post won't go on and on telling you how it's a special snowflake and different from other secondhand websites (even though it totally is). If the name of ...
Aerie is having a very summer-friendly sale on their already affordable bras and, more importantly, bralettes. Sorry, bras. It's not me, it's you. Or... the other way around. I don't know, but I love bralettes more than any other undergarment ...
It seems to me like the beauty industry is trying to take lipstick to another level lately. Over the last few years, we've made the leap from cream lipsticks in bullets to liquid lipsticks that require chemist-grade solvents to remove. ...
Yes, we have found even more beauty sales with no distinguishable cause or reason behind them! This time, two already extremely affordable beauty brands, BH Cosmetics and e.l.f., have given us two different, amazing deals within the last 12 hours. If ...
If I could, I would have a subscription to every single subscription box in existence. Getting mystery stuff in the mail is one of my favorite things, it's like Christmas! Or birthdays! Or any other time people want to impress you ...
Before the summer officially leaves us, I figured I should take a break from tiny house building to bust out my favorite sandals & play with some gel polish. There's something about blue-green polish that makes me into a total ...
It doesn't take a fashion anthropology degree to figure out where bomber jackets aka flight jackets got their name. Traditionally, bomber jackets were made out of really hardy, durable material suitable for temperatures at high altitudes. Leather, sheepskin, one thousand layers ...
Doesn't it seem like every woman between the age of 15 and 50 has a necklace with a bird on it? Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not hating on animal jewelry. In fact, in ancient B&B history, I had ...
The challenge of building a capsule wardrobe is simultaneously alluring and frightening. The idea of a capsule wardrobe, for those who don't know, is using a set number of garments and accessories for an entire season (or if you have commitment ...
Normally, when a high end cosmetic brand like Anastasia Beverly Hills releases a major eyeshadow palette, I can easily walk by it without being tempted. I have a few palettes, and I use maybe 60% of the shades included, so I ...
The title of this post pretty much says it all! I'm nostalgic for the good ol' days when we would post lists of things that were too deeply discounted not to mention. Instead of wasting your time droning on and ...
Here's a little bonus for B&B's friends in the parts of the world that aren't aflame with summer heat right now. The Lemon Collection is a site full of cozy knits leggings, socks, and comfy lounge gear. Now through July 23, ...
Cobalt blue is a color that doesn't really have an obvious season associated with it. It fits in with every type of weather, every climate, and every skin tone. Lately, I've been drawn to it, and due to it being a ...
Above image via Layers of Chic That title is one of the least clear I've given you in a while but do you know what I mean? I might be hypnotized be all of the "festival fashion" emails I've been ...
The moment I saw that it was going to be pushing 80°F this week was the same moment I realized that I didn't have any flat sandals. I mean, that's a lie. I have sandals; one pair is covered in mirrored ...
Here I come with my Colourpop review, weeks after people decided they were oversaturated with this super-hyped brand. I swear 90% of the Colourpop reviews that I read are mostly exclamation points. People freak out about this brand! Not only is there ...
Today marks the first day of Shopbop's 3 day sale-sale. (That's "a sale on sale items," for people who are new to the #brokelife vocabulary.) They're allowing you to take 25% off of everything in their sale section, including new arrivals, ...
I remember looking at the bodysuits in Victoria's Secret catalogs and thinking that surely if I were to put one of those on I would instantly look like Letitia Casta. My mom was sweet and generous enough to allow her ...
