Pink Products

It’s officially Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which means pink products have taken over the interwebs and stores. When I donated blood, they even wrapped my arm in pink pre-wrap!

Rent the Runway Review (hint: I love it)

If you’re not a Gossip Girl watcher, you might not have seen Rent the Runway in action (Juliet uses it to look like she actually has money to buy designer clothes). Think Jennifer Hudson using Bag Borrow Steal from Sex & The City. No? Maybe I’ll just ‘splain myself: Rent the Runway is a dress-lending site where…

Summer Tank Tops

Over at xlyssa.com, I posted a roundup of summer fitness tanks I just have to have, which got me started thinking … pretty much all I wear all summer is tanks. Fitness or fancy, top or dress, I love tanks! So here’s a fab summer roundup of classic racerback tanks (including my fitness faves). Make…
