Menswear is a huge trend this season that I wanted to try without spending a fortune. This project cost me about $6 dollars to accomplish. I purchased the bangle from Bealls Outlet for $2.99. I chose to purchase it from Bealls Outlet instead of a craft store as it is sometimes cheaper to buy discount … Read more

Annie Hall might not have had the best taste in men, but her menswear look has been emulated since the film’s debut in 1977. Break out a suit and tie with some tasseled flats. As a petite gal, I am shying away from the flats and opting for some height with a tasseled heel. You … Read more
I ain’t afraid of no ghosts, but I’d rather wear a costume referencing pop culture. Halloween has always been a means for me to express my creativity. Normally, I guard my Halloween costume choice until the final unveiling on Halloween. I literally (properly defined) start planning for the holiday starting on November 1 every year … Read more

As I was looking at the snap-shots of the Fall 2011 runway, I decided that I must have the Miu Miu Glitter Bootie! Once the sparkle ankle booties were released on Bergdorf.com with a price tag of $890.00, I immediately concluded that I would have to stop eating during the Fall in order to get them by winter!

Missoni is coming to Target this Tuesday (9-13-2011) for a limited time. I have been looking for a Missoni item to add to my closet for months and I almost bought a Missoni towel from Gilt a few weeks ago.

Tomorrow is labor day and I plan to wear white jeans to work on Tuesday in direct protest to the fashion rule forbidding this. The origins of this rule are debatable, but most people agree that it has something to do with the end of summer. Labor day is a reminder to put away leisure-wear … Read more
I cannot fight my craving for colored jeans any longer! Day after day I open my closet and every neutral piece is screaming to be matched with a pair of fire-engine red jeans from J. Brand, my favorite jean company. I love every pair of J.Brand jeans and would have a closet full of them … Read more
It’s official! I have an unhealthy sample sale website addiction. It combines two of my instinctual drives: sale shopping and competition. The concept is as simple as it is genius. The website starts by discounting designer items, then it sets a time for the sale to start. When the clock chimes the bargain hunters swarm … Read more
I had a girl play date at sephora this weekend and discovered some wonderful products by trying on few things and getting some samples to test out at home.
