This morning, I attended a breakfast for the fabulous Nescafe Dolce Gusto – it’s a premium single-serve coffee maker, but it’s designed to bring a little “haute” coffee to small-space design. Perfect for us fashionista city girls.
I’ll write more about it later – I am a major fan – but I wanted to write here about the inherent message – how the delicacy is in the details. Just as I may not be able to afford to revamp my kitchen, and will instead get one really fabulous piece of equipment for it – like, say, my Dolce Gusto – the …read more

This is the time of year where shopping is pretty much inevitable, but we’re all looking for great deals.
Your best bet are finding the hottest sales, and right now sister stores Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy is holding an exclusive online Get More Save More Sale.

Few people know this, but once upon a time, I was a plus-sized teenager.
At the time, I had a lot of personal angst because I’d be drawn to the styles of stores like Express, but it was really hard to find clothes there that were flattering to my shape.
Honestly, I’m not so sure their cuts and variety have gotten any more accessible, but for those who do fit into their styles, you are about to save some cash. Right now, styles for both guys and gals are up to 60% off, including tops as low as $9.99, …read more

Friends, I’m so sorry to find out about this so late: Today at Fashion Bug is Customer Appreciation Day!
What does this mean? For today online, Fashion Bug is offering 30% savings on regular-priced items. No code/print out is needed. But it’s for today only, so you have no time to loiter! You also get an extra 10% off of all clearance-priced items, which ain’t too shabby either.
My pick is this adorable polka dot sash dress – which, I confess, I like because it matches the decor of my apartment. I’m like a chameleon! It’s orig. $50, but on …read more

Everyone has heard of the name… Prada, but do you have any idea how much this family is worth?? I suggest that you sit down and take a deep breath. Try 1.5 billion.
That makes for some serious shopping, but I wonder if you would enjoy shopping in the same way if you have that much money?? Half the fun is browsing for an incredible deal. If you had that kind of money, would you bother??
But, I would certainly give it a good try! I wonder how much I could spend in a day??
