I've coveted Shiraleah's handbags after spotting them on CMP favorite Darlybird, and I recently scooped up a forest-green pleather style which has gone with me everywhere. Until this morning. That's when my mother told me she'd heard tha…
We've been blown away by the number of companies, big and small , that are donating 10%, 20%, or even more of their sales to help the people of Haiti. But when Threadless announced they were donating 100% of the proceeds, up to $100,000,…
When one of my favorite local shops is having a 20-70% off clearance sale , I'd be remiss if I didn't drop everything I'm doing, head to the website, and click on every single category immediately. You know, just to see . In this case it…
Oh please tell me I'm not the only woman on the planet (or at least the island of Manhattan) who just can't do the spiky stiletto heel thing. I know they're trendy and fabulous and make your legs look great and all - but uh, no. So I'm a…
You know how after the baby is born, you have that extra bit around the middle that just doesn't fit into your clothes? My baby is seven and I'm still fighting that. (Sorry, mamas, it's true.) But wait! DuMi Shapewear has a solution! The…
You're having a holiday party. You're dressed up . You're serving food and drinks. An apron would be nice to protect your perfect cocktail dress, but who wants to drag out the old marinara-stained "Kiss the Cook" monstrosity? Well if it …
I can say, in all honestly, that there have been times when I would not have gone out out in public had I not been wearing my Spanx . That has everything to do with the way Spanx just makes everything feel so supported, both in the lift-…
Clearly the green movement is everywhere, including, now, your underwear. Indeed your skivvies are the next if not final frontier for a demonstration of your commitment to all things eco, as we've recently discovered. At the UK's Love Ec…
For years I was mystified by the thong, an article of clothing that felt more "medieval torture device" than comfy undergarment. But, after hearing about Hanky Panky's thongs , I gave them a try and have been a convert to their comfortab…
I wish I liked eating salads, but I really, really don't. I always seem to end up with a honking piece of spinach lodged between my teeth, cliche though that may sound, so I like to carry a compact mirror with me. That's why Iike the new…
I can't believe I'm already thinking of holiday accessories but, yup, I am. Mainly because I'll be among those "shopping my closet" this year and looking to update old looks with affordable new accessories. On a wild Etsy tear this week,…
I'm not entirely a fan of a pink ribbon as a fashion statement, even if it is supporting a great cause. Generally I think you can just give that money directly to the cause and make your own pink or red or white ribbon to wear on your ja…
Together in NYC this week, Kristen and I browsed a few boutiques and noticed that Frye Boots are making a crazy comeback. I still remember my first pair back in the early 80s, and how sad I was when I outgrew them. And could no longer we…
I have a dream: I want someone to go into my closet, take a look at what I have, and then tell me what else I need. And of course, I want suggestions that work with what I'm already wearing, and that are cool and fun, and maybe, just may…
Waaaay back before I had kids, I could get away with wearing any old cute little swimsuit found at my local boutique. But now the thin layer of spandex accompanied by teeny tiny straps just doesn't cut it anymore, so I often turn to a co…
Every woman needs to one one perfect, crisp button-up shirt . And by perfect I mean it fits at the shoulders, the collar isn't better suited to the Ringling Bros. wardrobe department, and your chest isn't busting the buttons every time y…
The online sales are staggering right now (seriously - amazing) but as we all know, the delightful madness will be gone with the December calendar page. Unless you're a member of Rue La La , the latest in a string of online designer samp…
