Super Bowl Outfit planning is tough when your team isn’t in it—do you go stubborn and wear your jersey anyway, like you did throughout the playoffs? You gotta showcase that Faux Celeb style yet can’t be too dressed up because you’re still just watching football … what else do you wear? I’m super stoked (about…
I am obsessed with this blanket. It is perfect. It is wool. It is slightly scratchy. It is made for beaches, bonfires, cabins in the woods, tents, tailgates, couches, and cuddling. It is Pendleton. It is American nostalgia. It is dreams and stereotypes and aspirations. It is what I built my entire living room around:…
“I love your wavy hair!” exclaimed a friend over dinner. I launched into how a coworker had bought me this discontinued stuff that was amazing and I was so sad it was discontinued but my coworker thought it looked so good on me that she gave me two bottles from her stash when this friend…
Look, there are just certain places you don’t go shopping in. When in New Orleans this past weekend with my parents, my mom veered into a Chico’s having a sale. She beckoned me inside and I said, “Mom! I just turned 30, NOT FORTY!” Alas, she found a cute jacket for herself and lured me…
Saturday was a banner day in my pretend celebrity lifestyle. Glitz, glam, and the gym—in reverse order. First up, Power 106 All-Star bball on the NBA Nation tour at Universal CityWalk. <— I missed this shot, clearly. Also, yes, those are Dunks crica 1998. Something about Nike sponsorship… Didja know? Power 106 was one of…
Dangit, I move to California and all the sudden I’m wearing short pants and short tops and short … well, I always wore short shorts. I am from Texas, after all. The Crop Top. I wrote over there —–> (fashion sticky notes) that crop tops should go back to where they came from (the 90s). However, I…
As a 5’9″ tall woman who is all legs, ankle-length pants didn’t make sense to me for many years—probably because they just felt too short, like most pants on me. As it turns out, ankle-length pants are not simply pants that are too short—the new crop (pardon the pun) are a flattering silhouette that will…
One of the cool things Pinterest has allowed me to do is really see what’s inspiring me fashion-wise. Lately, I’ve been digging figuring out how to wear lace—for every day occasions, not just special events. Check out the best examples I’ve seen so far: keep skirts casual with neutral tops in slouchy fabrics, let lace…
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…
[12/21/10: UPDATE: In the most recently compiled NPD research, sales of jeggings in the U.S. rose by 103 percent and it is women between the ages of 12 and 29 that account for the largest share of those purchases. “Jeggings have grown in popularity over the last 12 to 18 months as the skinny jean trend gained…
