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 [...]

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 make you [...]

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 available [...]

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. I [...]

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 Bloomingdales
Steal: Victoria’s [...]

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 über-trendy Boston salon for six months didn’t help. I even let them try to make [...]

What you really need to learn here is how big an impact that journalism has on your life.

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).

Even though the paperwork is currently taking over my coffee table until i can find [...]

A real live British person tells us what’s going on ‘cross the pond.

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 [...]
