Today’s guest post by Serena from Eats, Sweets, and Beats has some great tips on how to build your closet around items you’ll love. When holiday shopping, you’re bound to pick up a few pieces for yourself here and there. I came across an article in Redbook’s November issue and found several great points to [...]

The Value of Fashion

December 2, 2010

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the designer capsule collections coming to Macy’s next year. At the time, only the first designer of the series was announced: Kinder Aggugini. WWD recently reported a slew of other designers who will be designing for Macy’s, including Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith, Calvin Klein, Costume National, Versace, and [...]

Holiday Gift Guide: The Men

December 1, 2010

When it comes to shopping for men, I tend to think of items that will help them look put together when they bring a date over, or items that their wives/girlfriends will be glad they have. According to my hubby, every man needs a nice black or dark gray dress shirt that they can wear [...]

Holiday Gift Guide: The Women

November 30, 2010

When shopping for women, I try to think in three categories (1) things that I actually want but don’t want to buy for myself, (2) something unique and different (like a vintage quilted purse), or (3) something she might need in the new year (e.g., if she’ll be traveling a lot, a travel blanket and [...]

The Practical Holiday Gift Guide

November 29, 2010

I debated doing a holiday gift guide this year, mainly because every other blogger is doing one. What really prompted me to do a gift guide was Marie Claire‘s “101 Gift Ideas” in their December issue featuring eight pages of gifts, like $1,300 Stella McCartney heels, a children’s doll for $150, a Carolina Herrera dress [...]

High Tech + High Fashion

November 18, 2010

Despite the lack of its name on the site, Google recently launched Boutiques.com, a personalized online fashion and shopping experience. With so many online shopping outlets–Shop It To Me, Shopstyle, Revolve Clothing, just to name a few–I wondered, like many others, what will set Boutiques.com apart? Luckily, Google really thought this one out. Former members [...]

The Story of a Girl and Her Booties

November 12, 2010

Just to clear up any confusion, I’m talking about booties–whether they be open-toed, Oxford style, suede, leather–they are my current fashion crush. The always chic Alexa Chung (shown bel0w) has mastered incorporating them into a variety of looks. I had a pair of Aldo booties on my fall wishlist, but they weren’t exactly what I [...]

H&M for South Florida!

November 11, 2010

We begged. We pleaded. We tweeted. We started Facebook pages professing our love. It just wasn’t fair. Orlando got two. South Florida had none. That is, until last Friday, when H&M opened its two-story, 20,400-square-foot location at the Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens. H&M, a Swedish-based company that started in 1947, has been in the [...]

Designer Collective

Are you tired of hearing about designer collaborations? I hope not! Since Target has successfully pulled this off many times, I was so excited to hear about their Designer Collective series. Launching on March 13 and lasting till April 10, the Designer Collective series will feature 34 dresses designed by 17 past participants of the [...]
