Studs

… sorry, ladies, I don’t mean the fellas. Though maybe I should do a post on that?? I mean the earrings. Stud earrings. I’ve always felt like sporting studs didn’t give you enough bang for your buck … I can hardly remember to put on statement earrings, much less lil guys! But the pink raw…

Compliment or Insult: Shopping Edition

That’s right, even though I’ve been working out at the infamous Aspen Club, I’ve been steadfastly disappointed by how used to me the gym-goers appear to have gotten.

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…
