VINT-condition: Nasty Gal Vintage

You all know, I love some good vintage, and I’ll take it anyway I can get it. Thrift stores, consignment, high-end and especially online. There has been a surge in online vintage dealers and their presentation and quality is top notch.
Nasty Gal has been around for ages as an Ebay staple and has recently moved [...]

Stylish Thoughts on… Celebrity Designers

We’re living in a celebrity world. Celebrities for breakfast, celebrities running our government (not Barack Obama, actual celebrities like Arnold), celebrities telling us how to be charitable. It’s reaching saturation and there are no signs of this obsession with celebrity letting up.
Pop stars, actors and actresses have always used their brand to sell things. They [...]

Tunes-Day: Mary Jane Girls

I’ve been nostalgic lately. Pining for days and music that I’ve actually never lived though. It could be my old soul or just a quest to delve into the past, but the 80’s are on my mind. So this Tunesday edition is dedicated to one of the baddest girl groups in 80’s and music history. [...]

Dior Me

My love for John Galliano knows no bounds. He could literally poo out a collection and my eternal ember would burn for him (maybe not) His tenure at Christian Dior continues to take the collection to new heights and he is truly a master of fashion and haute couture. Plus how can you not A-D-O-R-E [...]

A Girl Can Dream: RecessioNomics

The economy is in dire straits. The U.S. once a super power is slowly losing it’s prestige and financial viability in the global scheme of things. And while analysts and experts are mulling over a $700 billion bailout (which got shot down) average Americans need to be tightening their purse strings, me included. Since I [...]

The Mind of F: Sept, 29, 2008

Random thoughts make the world go around. And sometime my own random thoughts make my head go around. Jump in and hear them too.
- I’ve realized that I hate parents that encourage their children’s bad behavior on public transportation. Loud screaming and throwing things is not adorable.
- Spotting people who make horrid stares at my [...]

The Incomparable Drew Versak

I love having creative friends whose talents are so wide and varying. It’s great to see all of the creative things they are doing and it’s an honor to know them (plus I love bragging about them). One such friend is Drew Versak. A graphic designer by trade, Drew is also a jewelry designer, nature [...]

Stylish Thoughts on… Afrika Chic

Ok so I wrote a long post on this… but it accidentally got deleted (DOH!) So I’ll sum it up in certain terms: “Ethnic” Fashion is not ethnic and it’s annoying to see cheap knockoffs of something culturally relevant. Well, that was better than the original post and a lot shorter.

Now I’m not silly enough [...]

Well-Heeled: Ode to Milan

I can’t keep up. Fashion is going a mile a minute and I’m sped up to a nanosecond. This is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. When I do get a chance to flip through the hundreds of fashion week images, I find myself focusing on the shoes. Aaaaaah the shoes. Runway shoes are clearly not real life shoes, [...]
