Hey, Boys: We don’t dress for you
Over the past year or so, I’ve seen the occasional article/list of things guys hate to see on women, and I always feel a mixture of anger and amusement. The article is invariably written by a dude, a narrow-minded one who seems to think that girls dress for the sole/primary purpose of impressing guys. Boys, […]
Giving the Slip (Dress)
Is it a dress, or is it lingerie? Do I care? The slip dress is something I could so easily make fun of (and sometimes do). But I won’t. Because what could possibly be more comfortable than wearing a loose whisper of silk, satin, or some other delicate material when it’s time to go out […]
Oh, Brooklyn
Like, how can I not miss New York? Right? Right?! 19 Styles You’ll Find on One Williamsburg Street Corner–via Buzzfeed, obvi.
I’m Loving: LA Brand Rails
I already named some of the stores I like in L.A., but I’m finding an increasing number of great brands the City of Angels has to offer. And if you keep up with the Kardashians (as I obviously do…) you may have noticed various photos floating the Interwebs of Kris Jenner’s eldest spawn sporting the […]
The Pros and Cons of a Sample Sale
You hear about a sample sale going on downtown, and suddenly you feel the need to drop everything, because–OMG–you might just get something for $300 that retails for over $1k. Totally understandable. Kind of. Because here’s the deal with sample sales–they’re kinda maybe not always that great. Call me blissfully ignorant, but when I think […]
Stop Buying Cheap Jeans.
I don’t have an ass. It’s simply a fact of my life. It’s also something I always assumed could not be helped with a quality pair of jeans. No matter what, jeans would stretch, and I’d inevitably get that oh-so-flattering saggy backside. Then one day I tried on a pair of jeans that actually fit, […]
That Mid-Twenties Wardrobe Overhaul
A lot of things happen when you hit your mid-twenties. You start staying in more nights of the week than you go out (and your definition of “going out” changes); three beers will give you a headache the next day; you start to recognize the value/necessity of exercise–and budgeting; and you find yourself uttering the […]
An Ode to the Ballet Flat
Ballet flats–you are classic, quietly assured, effortlessly chic (that overused term), ladylike, and unassuming. And comfortable to boot. You’re the refuge we girls seek from the notion that femininity requires heels and aching feet–quite literally, as you sometimes accompany us in our purses on those late nights when our urge to be comfortable overcomes our […]
Fake It Til You Make It: Faux Fashion Logos
Can’t afford Hermes? Lusting after Celine? Don’t care about either, but like to make tacky attempts at humor? Don’t worry, guys! You can just buy a clothing item with a label that pokes fun at the established fashion houses. Buying fakes used to be a faux pas, but by buying items that say things like […]
Bag Lust: UK Luxury Brand Smythson
When it comes to bags, I buy one that I love and use it until it breaks or just can’t hold up anymore. And when it does, it’s sad, but also rewarding–if it lasted a long time. It inspires the feeling that it was loved and worn and had a good run. I’m not into […]
