Dear Jess,
You let me go shopping in your giveway clothes a few weeks ago. … and you gave me a Ralph Lauren down jacket. I have worn it every single day I have been in cold weather since. I cannot thank you enough! Friends are awesome 🙂 Love, Me
HELP! Random Shopping – I Need Your Advice?
I found this for only $80! Should I have bought it? Turns out you need a lot of warm boots in snowy places. Which of these should I get? Or do you have other (not TOO expensive) faves I need to know about? Don’t tell me UGGS!! Snow boots by lifeinaustin featuring sporto shoes Also,…
Wow, more shopping/deal sites!
Yo, did you guys know about SteepandCheap.com? Because I sure didn’t, but apparently everyone else within 1,000 vertical feet of snow did. It flashes a new item every 30 minutes or until it sells out, whichever comes first, and its got tons of mountain-y gear like skis, accessories, clothes, hiking gear, shoes, packs, camping stuff,…
Rent the Runway
I could have sworn I’d written about Rent the Runway before, but a quick search of my own site reveals that I am mistaken. Lately I’ve taken to composing mental emails and then asking my poor staff writer at EndlessBeauty.com why she didn’t respond. Um, because you never sent them, crazy lady? Apparently I also…

What the what? Then I got an email about…
Rock ‘n’ Swap

I am a beer bottle. (The tale of a Playback t-shirt)
After reading about Playback recycled bottle and cotton tees, I couldn’t resist ordering one for me and one for the (Ver)monster. Luckily, they came in the mail right before I had to go to an early Halloween party that I was NOT ready to dress up for … so I wore this lovely light brown…
