10022-Shoe

June 29, 2011

While in New York, we ate lunch at Cafe SFA, which is on the 8th floor of Saks Fifth Avenue. Little did I know that the restaurant shared the floor with the biggest shoe department I have ever seen–so big they say it has its own zip code. Just as I stepped off the elevator, [...]

A New York Minute

June 27, 2011

I was in New York City last week for a whirlwind of a trip. My mom was selected to be on the Today show, and she wanted me to go along with my dad and keep her company. Nothing to complain about there! We flew up Sunday morning and flew back Monday night, so that [...]

Huge Savings at Gap and Banana Republic

June 22, 2011

Right before I started my new job last June, Banana Republic was having one of their big sales, so I stocked up on work-appropriate staples that have lasted me, well, the whole year. They say when you hit 25, your body changes. Whoever “they” is, they are right. Let’s just say that those pencil skirts [...]

What Do You Treasure?

June 20, 2011

What is your most treasured possession? With this being a fashion blog, you are probably expecting me to write about something in my closet, but life isn’t just about red-soled shoes and designer clothing.

Neon + Neutral

June 15, 2011

Mixing neons and neutrals is the next challenge in the Bloggers Do It Better series. While wearing bright colors seems like an obvious trend for summer (just like darks are “in” during fall and winter), mixing punchy hues with a neutral pallet is a twist on the trend this summer. Top: Eighty Sixty (also seen here; [...]

Ebates Really Does Work

June 12, 2011

Awhile back, I wrote about why you should sign up for Ebates, the free, easy-to-use online shopping portal that gives shoppers cash back every time they make a purchase at one of the 1,200+ retailers. I received a few inquiries as to whether Ebates is for real–”Can you really get paid to shop?” Yes! You [...]

Land & Sea: The Rachel Roy & Karina Petroni Collaboration

June 6, 2011

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting designer Rachel Roy and pro surfer Karina Petroni as they introduced their limited-edition footwear capsule collection for RACHEL Rachel Roy at Macy’s. The collaboration combines Petroni’s surf lifestyle with Roy’s downtown design aesthetic for a series of unique, casual-chic footwear pieces, retailing from $59 to $139. Opposites Attract [...]

Designer Swimwear

Beach Bunny, Vitamin A, Maaji… These are just a few of the designer swimwear brands that most of us can only lust after. But now that summer is almost in full swing, you can expect to see many designer swimwear sample sales. For example, some great pieces from the celeb-loved brand Vitamin A Silver Collection are [...]
