It’s officially Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which means pink products have taken over the interwebs and stores. When I donated blood, they even wrapped my arm in pink pre-wrap! It’s tough to know what products are just “pinkwashing” you and what products are actually benefitting breast cancer research, patients, or survivors. Of course, you could…

Austin: What to Wear to ACL
It’s upon us! Dresses: Make sure they’re colorful and floaty, as you are going to sweat. Pair with straw hats and sandals.

Summer Skirts
After spending much of the summer in nothing but workout clothes, a couple of recent business trips—to inherently casual places—forced me to reconsider my closet. Where are my summer casual-but-put-together staples? I needed the equivalent of my winter lulu leggings + tunic top that is comfy yet cute. So my quest began. Behold the fruits…
Rent the Runway Review (hint: I love it)
If you’re not a Gossip Girl watcher, you might not have seen Rent the Runway in action (Juliet uses it to look like she actually has money to buy designer clothes). Think Jennifer Hudson using Bag Borrow Steal from Sex & The City. No? Maybe I’ll just ‘splain myself: Rent the Runway is a dress-lending site where…
A Home for My Jewels
I have been going crazy in my loft apartment trying to find a great, space-saving way to store but display my jewelry. My earrings benefited greatly from a picture frame holder (pictured below), but my necklaces, bracelets, and scarves are more trouble. Finally, I found the perfect solution! It may not look like much, but…
