I’m not typically attracted to the boldest pieces on the market, but lately I’ve been lusting over everything red! Have you seen the new Nordstrom Holiday catalog? Or Essie’s winter collection. Maybe it’s the frightening number of November Christmas displays clouding my judgment, but I’m in love. The Nordstrom Holiday catalog showcases these beautiful rosette-adorned [...]

Like any self-proclaimed shopaholic, and maybe even more than most, I get enough catalogs on an almost daily basis to thoroughly annoy my mailman and fiance, who, as keeper of the mail key, has to fight with the mailbox to unstuff it every single afternoon. Here are some notable spreads I saw in my most [...]

The wonderful website, FabSugar has gotten a sneak peek of EVERY SINGLE ITEM being launched on November 14th as part of Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo’s collaboration with H&M. The collection has a lot of edge — with studs, animal print, leather and suede. My favorite pieces? Always a fan of flats, I’m loving the [...]

Ever since the J.Crew catalog hit my doorstep last week in all of its preppy glory, one particular trend keeps peeking out: ankle socks. J.Crew sells the ankle socks in packs of three. This is my favorite look they show, but I’m loving the pink ones: What do you think about ankle socks? Do they [...]

InStyle’s website picked Kristin Cavallari’s plaid look as yesterday’s “Look of the Day,” but when I put on my black and blue plaid tunic over gray jeans this morning, I couldn’t help feeling the look had passed, gone the way of the Ugg — a comfy throwback, but no fashion statement what-so-ever. What are your [...]

After weeks of hearing about Essie’s “Matte About You” topcoat on the blog circuit, I decided to give it a try. After two coats of the “Angora Cardi” fall purple-brown shade, I coated my left hand with the trendy new top coat… and hated it! Maybe it was just the shade, but it made my [...]

My birthday is quickly approaching, and I am dying for a new dress to wear to my birthday brunch. Tory Burch added a picture on her Facebook page last Thursday of an event she did at Saks in New Orleans, and I fell in love with her dress: It is her ‘Gracia’ Silk Georgette Dress [...]

5. Do-it-yourself Mani and Pedis In Style magazine highlighted Lauren Conrad’s “ombre” nails on their website at the beginning of the month, and I had to try it myself. Splurging on manis and pedis (or taking the cheap route and ending up with infected cuticles) has gotten cut from my list of things to do. [...]

Ben Bernanke may have announced today that the recession is “Very likely over,” but I’m still not a huge fan of spending a lot of money on fleeting trends, so I’ve found my fall favorite (and most notable) trends for less… much less! FALL WRAP Splurge: DKNY’s “Cozy” Silk/Cashmere Cardigan for $195 at Nordstrom and [...]

5. Cooking dinner at home After the first two weeks of kindergarten celebration chaos, I find myself enjoying evenings at the condo (3 this week!) which means that I am no longer frequenting every restaurant in Boston that potentially does not contaminate one menu item with gluten… and also means my Celiac’s-stomach can enjoy leftovers [...]

I am probably the least edgy person you will ever meet. I wear a ridiculous amount of Lilly Pulitzer and J.Crew. Somehow, though, I have a Carrie Bradshaw-style obsession with the wide world of fashion. Moonlighting at an ƒ¼ber-trendy Boston salon for six months didn’t help. I even let them try to make me more [...]

5. Tory Burch I will admit that I am not nearly as in love with her fall collection as I was with summer (which, btw, Saks has on SALE. I think I want the Jula dress or the Esther dress). 4. My sorority Even though the paperwork is currently taking over my coffee table until [...]

I’m not going to lie: at first I was scared. If they were coming back, were lime green spandex or tie dye hi-tops going to be next? But after a few weeks of deliberation, and then after I saw Bloomingdales.com had sold out of their exclusive pink color, I bought Tory Burch’s version of the [...]
