Invest In: The Perfect Flats.

So I was watching TV before bed, the other night – a rare event in my little nest – and I caught something on the news about heels and how bad they are for your feet for every-day wear. I’m not a proponent of heels every day, for practical reasons. I prefer to Related posts:

Invest in: A Little Pampering

Sometimes you just need a little break – an extra day off, a long soak in a hot tub, and a good read. We’re not yet out of the throes of winter – spring hasn’t come knocking and the weather is still dreary, cold, damp and miserable. This time of the year can seem disparaging, Related posts:

Outfit: Burlesque Birthday Bash

Last week (OKAY! My outfit photo was from last week, I WILL ADMIT!) I had a Birthday Bash with Sinner Saint Burlesque.  “It’s not your birthday!” you say… but it is difficult to collect all my friends into one place at the same time – moreso on New Year’s Eve (my real birthday). I got dressed Related posts:

Modern Vintage

It’s Friday and I’m wearing *THE-MOST-COMFORTABLE* outfit I could possibly think of. I got home late last night from the Twitterati Reunion party and when I dragged myself out of bed at 8 this morning, I decided comfort was key. I love when winter hits, so I can break out this skirt – which is Related posts:

Party Attire

I decided this is my new party outfit – for EVER.  I first saw this dress at the Spun and Jesica Milton private shopping event that was held at Hotel Max, and I’ve been in love with it since!  Jesica agreed that I needed to rock this dress and in virtually no time, I had Related posts:

Outfit: Got Moxie?

A while back, I snagged some goodies from M641 through their shop at SmashingDarling.  I’ve been in love with Ms Moxie’s Button Down since I first set eyes on this photo: Since the package came in the mail, I’ve worn this top approximately once a week.  I love the sleek lines in the arms, and the Related posts:

Cydwoq Shoes

This post came across BoingBoing and my immediate reaction was, “I need those shoes”.  That doesn’t happen to me very often, especially not over brown leather shoes.  But damn!  Look at these things! About CYDWOQ sez: “CYDWOQ founder, Rafi Balouzian, loves to walk. He walks everywhere. In fact, long before it was considered recreation or a Related posts:

Life à la mode

I was having a conversation last night with Mister about how the human condition is a struggle to come to terms with our own mortality.  In that, it seems like we’re trying to accomplish so much that sometimes we miss out on the finer points in life – the time spent to yourself on the Related posts:

Blogging: Believe in You

This is my note to writers – as a writer we all go through periods of serious blasé when it comes to cranking out material. There’s no reason to fault yourself for this – part of creating is the ebb and flow of creative process. It can’t come to you all the time, Related posts:

Overcoming heartbreak

I have this friend who’s been sort of down for the past little while since a sort of rocky breakup.  I was talking to this person about the little personal speedbump they’ve hit and I started to think about what it’s like to be in that situation.  I know that feeling of needing someone there, Related posts:

Whose Hose is This!?

So I went to that arty cocktail party and I posted a couple photos up, and I got a question that made me laugh a little… One reader asked “Are you wearing HOSE!?!” I responded with a, “Hell yeah!  It was totally cold out and nobody could tell because it was dark…” And then I kind Related posts:

To suffer for fashion?

Last night, leaving the school, I watched a girl in 4″ platform stilettos (I noticed them because they were beauuuuuutiful red velvet peep toe, with bows) traipse across the uneven brick. She had these on, her bag, a floppy grey sweater, and skinny jeans. While she looked great, it was 39° F and Related posts:

POLYVORE is not the place to look for Vegas-packing-inspiration

aka: What I will put in my suitcase…. I’ve been to Vegas a couple times… but only once to hang out with friends, cruise the strip, play at casinos and get slightly toasty. What I learned, when I was there last, is that nobody cares what you wear (for the most part) but there are Related posts:
