NYE Giveaway! Check out Sneakpeeq
Super sale sites from Groupon-esque (eversave, LivingSocial) to fashion-flash (Rue, Gilt, HauteLook, ideeli) are a dime a dozen these days, but new site Sneakpeeq seeks to add a unique twist: prices are only revealed when you “peeq,” and you have limited numbers of peeqs until you invite, share, buy, and more on the site. It’s a gaming mentality that’s…
Give + Get Gift Guide
There are gift guides galore on the interwebs these days, so I thought I’d do a happy spin on them … this isn’t about specific gifts I love, but great places to shop for them. These six websites all donate to worthy causes or employ people in developing nations at fair wages or a little…

Pink Products
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…
Cameron Hughes Obsession + $25 coupon!
As someone who once wrote email marketing newsletters for a living, I like to think I am immune to sales pitches. I clearly am not. When Cameron Hughes told me that his new Lot 228 Muscato d’Asti was the ultimate summer wine, something resonated with me. I promptly ordered 3 bottles. And then drank two…
Thank You, Erin Condren
I recently bought an eversave coupon to erincondren.com. I LOVE sending thank you notes and think there’s nothing nicer than doing so. These are so nice, so pretty, and so fresh. I received the box above, and I cannot speak highly enough of the out-and-out experience! Not only did I get my pack of notes…
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…
Summer Tank Tops
Over at xlyssa.com, I posted a roundup of summer fitness tanks I just have to have, which got me started thinking … pretty much all I wear all summer is tanks. Fitness or fancy, top or dress, I love tanks! So here’s a fab summer roundup of classic racerback tanks (including my fitness faves). Make…
