Look, there are just certain places you don’t go shopping in. When in New Orleans this past weekend with my parents, my mom veered into a Chico’s having a sale. She beckoned me inside and I said, “Mom! I just turned 30, NOT FORTY!” Alas, she found a cute jacket for herself and lured me…
The internets have spoken. This is what they’ve chosen. I got to pick any onesie from OnePiece.com, and I let my fb friends decide (check that madness out below). Nearly as soon as I had ordered it from OnePiece.com, my onesie arrived in the mail. It’s too effing hot to wear even a lightweight onesie in…
My count is up to four. After stalking the Serape Sperry Top-Sider for months, I bought it: They fit like a glove, without even a hint of a rub (some Sperrys take some breaking in). On their first wearing (golfing, natch), they got complimented. My companion said, “Ah, the shoe is successful! Isn’t that why…
<— AND THE WINNER IS … WENDY!! Faux celebs like me love being stopped and asked about things they’re wearing—it happens more than you think, especially when you’re wearing as unusual a watch as this. I’ve recently been on a watch search, tired of checking my phone (is anyone getting the sense I’m just tired…
This: The #aerieREAL campaign isn’t just an ad launch but a complete overhaul of the way aerie, the lingerie(ish) spinoff of American Eagle, treats its models. The new crop of models on the website and in the ads are not retouched, so there are moles, piercings, tattoos, skin wrinkles, and more. And they look like…
It’s no secret I love entrepreneurship, so I especially LOVE when my friends are doing it! Check out BareBands, a new minimalist, swappable, customizable watch. I know this guy (fellow Rice U alum + bro’s lacrosse teammate): And I donated $60 to the indiegogo so that I can have this watch when it’s ready in…
I broke my toe. I discovered that I have a dearth of shoes made for broken toes. I had to buy new flat sandals. I compiled the best options. I’m against flip-flops because of this video; but Sperrys but Roxy slip-ons have generally replaced my flippy-floppys, so when it came down to looking in my…
On my recent eight-day trip to Scotland/Ireland, I planned on moving around a lot, so I told everyone I was only going to pack in one backpack. A hiking/skiing backpack at that, not even a backpacking backpack. I wasn’t sure I could do it despite my bravada, but when it came down to it, I…
In this post I asked for help accessorizing the dress I was renting from Rent the Runway for a big party at the magazine. I expected to like pumps or funkier shoes, but when I tried them on before the party, I ended up liking a strappy shoe—but in bright red, naturally. I added big…
Weigh in below, in the comments. Do you prefer a sleek, classic look or something funky and fresh? Here’s what I ended up wearing.
