I have to apologize for the lack of posts this week. For the past two years, I’ve been working at Teen People, and it sadly closed its doors on Tuesday. I’ll most likely continue to work in the media, but will miss dearly the brand, the people I worked with (amazing) and most […]

As I’ve mentioned before, I have trouble buying even the cutest of slashed-price goody when the season is coming to an end — I’m way too interested in all the shiny new offerings of the moment. (And I call myself a bargain hunter. I’m truly ashamed.) But while the summer’s still raging […]

I recently picked this up in “cake/corset” and I love. The cake shade is a super-light pink, which I used for the lid, and the corset is a granite-ish black, which I used as a liner (after dipping the brush in water.) Plus, I’m a sucker for sweet packaging. The floral motif […]

Since I can’t afford the dress, I’ll settle for the next best thing from Diane von Furstenberg’s collection—the Petite Toile Pocket Bag. Classic and chic, the bag can carry all your makeup essentials, while you cart around an essential brand.

In my fashion book, anything “different” is good. That’s why I’m all over this Bohemian Beaded Hobo Bag from Intuition. It’s part hippie-commune chic, part church-garage sale find…but it’s also that one piece that’s a little bit different than everything else in you and your co-workers’ closet.
*Down from $30.

If you haven’t already noticed, I have a small-ish (huge) thing for MJ (Marc Jacobs, not Michael Jackson, thanks.) This delicate bow belt looks the part, but with a teeny price. Add one jazzy glove and you can conjure the other MJ too.

Don’t let the furry guy on the packaging fool you…the Badger product line is the real deal. The company doesn’t test on animals, 100-hundred percent of the stuff that goes in is natural and the main ingredient in the bodacious balms is extra-virgin olive oil. With promises like those, you’ll never go back to […]

One can never have too many cosmetic bags (believe me, it seems like every time I travel I come home with a leaky bottle of something or other all over the place). Stock up now with this three-piece matching set from Wrapables. The woodland print is kitchy and cool and the variety of sizes will […]

Ahhh, the joys of adulthood…bills, work and…piles and piles of business cards you need to file. Keep it organized with this snazzy holder from Kate’s Paperie. The clear pockets hold 120 cards and the cute design won’t scream “9-to-5 stiff.” Don’t have to work for the man? The case also doubles as a great holder […]
