The Target Muse Tote bag looks alot like another bag that I’ve seen on the slim arm of many a Kate, Jessica, and Sienna lately. I’d love to pick up the real thing but sadly I don’t have thirteen hundred bucks lying around. Well, actually I do, but I’m planning to splurge on […]

With shorter days and cooler weather ahead, fall is fast approaching. Make sure to break out your white shoes and seersucker this weekend, because starting on Tuesday they become a don’t. (Tear.) But looking on the bright side, there are a few ups to summer winding down.
1. No […]

There’s something about back-to-school time that always brings out the inner studious dork in me. Stocking up at Staples is fine, but it’s much more fun to find funky prints, pencils and paper at See Jane Work. The online site offers everything a studious gal could ever want, and then some. Take these Carrot & […]

If you’ve ever spent waaaaay too much for a salon blow-out, then you’ll understand why wearing a goofy shower cap is a completely nautral move. At least with this fun and retro plastic number, you can keep your coif looking fabulous in style. (Remember, if you divide the cost of the blow-out by […]

Disposable income? Not something I’m familiar with. Disposable waste that my roommates and I generate by the bagful? Something I know all too well. The black Hefty bags are a quick fix, but I wince every time I see one sticking out of the pail and taking up fifty percent of the kitchen (it’s not […]

The fashion world was buzzing today over the news that Kohls has reached an agreement with Vera Wang to carry a line of her sportswear. I’ve always thought that Kohl’s had some great finds, but with Wang holding court, it reaches new levels of consumer credibility. Take this dress from Candie’s: the empire waist […]

I have a small, yet healthy (er…or so I keep telling myself) obsession with cosmetic bags. Maybe it’s just because I find it easier to buy a new one every month instead of cleaning up my most-recent spill in the interior. Or maybe it’s because there are just so many good ones out there that […]

I’m not hip enough to know what a “mod bird” is, but I am smart enough to know that this quirky bag is a fabulous and funky find. The canvas tote is sturdy enough to haul around your library books (and just about anything else you can stuff in there), while the eccentric black-and-white-and-bright-pink print […]

Summer is almost over (sigh) and the onset of the fall season will inevitably bring the end of the big-beaded necklace trend. Luckily, Urban Outfitters will let you enjoy the tail end of the fad for a mere eight dollars with its oblong bead number. Pair a plain white tank with the green version […]

I have to do the JFK-to-LAX run next week and between the Labor Day traffic and the “no-liquids” TSA-mandated rule, I’m really not looking forward to it. That’s why I’m snagging these super-comfy mules. They’ll look great with even the most casual jeans/T-shirt combo, and once I actually get to California, they’ll double as my […]
