As I mentioned earlier, I am soon to leave on a pretty long trip, and the weather patterns may be a pretty up-and-down situation.
As I’m packing, I’m trying to find a way to adapt my outfits for every potential situation, and I realized this is the optimum opportunity to embrace the art of layering.
When we layer our favorite tops, tanks, sweaters, and jackets, it gives way more versatility to “out of season” pieces – and helps us to be prepared no matter what may happen! And it’s also a great way to be creative, and create totally new looks out …read more

I have, and I’m totally feeling it!

A few years ago, I lost a lot of weight – as in half of my total weight, or thereabouts – and the very first thing my friends did when I reached my goal is get me a Delia’s gift card.
Delia’s clothes are very juniors-oriented, and that makes them a limited niche opportunity for us grownups – but they are so so adorable that even now that I fit into them a little less-well, I still can’t help but look!
This week, Delia’s is having a sale: You can save $20 on your purchase of $50 or more when you apply …read more

Jeggings – a jeans/leggings hybrid – is a big trend this season, but until yesterday, I had yet to try a pair.
Then, I open up my mailbox and am greeted with Grane Electric Stretch Denim jean-leggings.
Essentially, jeggings are a streamlined skinny jean – and I love them. Then are super-slimming, comfortable, and look great with this season’s trendy high boots.
Ladies, note, this style is Juniors-sized, so play it safe and go up a size when ordering online. (Or just go to the store and try a pair on!)
What do I love even more? I just noticed they are on sale …read more

Though we are getting set to head into winter, it’s fun to look at some of the hot trends for Spring/Summer 2010. One thing that is obvious when you view the resort collections is that it’s all about color. Today let’s look at some gorgeous apparel in bold, colorful prints.

If you are on Twitter, you may know we have a tradition of “What are you Wearing” Wednesday – so before I start with today’s sales, I ask: What are you wearing?
(Not said in a pervy voice.)
I am currently wearing a plush Victoria’s Secret bath robe and knee socks…it’s nasty today!
If you are aiming to up your wardrobe to…well, better than that, here’s today’s sales below. Some good ones to watch out for: 100% Pure cosmetics – theirs is the only mascara my mom will wear. Also, the entirely adorable Tart and the super-luxe cashmere Cullen.

This summer, I went on a press trip to Mexico. It was quite possibly my best trip ever – and I’m absolutely desperate to go back. (And actually am come January, but that’s for another blog post.) However, it was one of those so-incredible experiences that I am hoping that my friends choose to visit there as well.
And maybe one of them will get the chance. I just learned that Anne Klein are giving away a pretty dreamy getaway includes: a super dreamy 5-night getaway to the El Dorado Royale Resort in Riviera Maya in Mexico! (It was voted one …read more

Say goodbye to boring cuffs!
One of the season’s trends is arm adornment.
Whether you want your arms to balloon or to billow, the look of the moment is voluminous, adding extra flare to even the simplest of styles.
This feminine silhouette also helps to balance the waistline, and everyone from Mandy Moore to Penelope Cruz have been seen wearing this season’s must-have sleeve style.
An example of the look? Silhouettes’ voluminous sleeve blouses, shown at left.
