… or is it just a coincidence? I received a Coldwater Creek catalog in the mail this week. I loved this outfit: Does this mean I really am a mom now? Or is the og catalog brand doing new things? Flipping further through, I think I just stumbled on one good page, I am indeed…
Today in retail you never knew was happening, I stumbled upon these CODE Hex Caterpillar sneakers that look like they came from a high-end fashion house, not the dirty corner of a construction site. At a mere $60 a pop with unisex sizing and leather uppers, these are a true hidden gem. And if the…
Y’know, it can be terrible, or it can be really alright. I’m pretty involved in the choosing of the bridesmaids dresses as the maid of honor in an upcoming wedding, and I have to confess that while I love fashion, this endeavor is a challenge. Like, the bride who I obviously love with my whole…

We took cashmere scraps, spun them with five percent virgin wool for strength, and created a luxurious new cashmere collection with a much lower ecological impact than virgin cashmere. 95%…
Just in case anyone out there is searching this blog for nudes … Nudes: even sexier in the winter? Maybe.
A few years ago I implemented a strict one-in, one-out policy for clothes-buying. It was successful, but I constantly wish I would pare down more: I have a few pieces I love, love, love, and I wear them ALL THE TIME. Why bother keeping the rest? Because I might, maybe, possibly want to wear them…

They are donating everything to the Community Resource Center in Encinitas, a center aiding women, children and victims of domestic violence. All you have to do to get the discount…
