There is a lot of attention paid to designer-mass market store collaborations.  Even I can’t pass up writing about many of the big ones.  That being said, how do you know if a designer collaboration is a successful one?  Well, if they do it again that is a good sign and Lulu Frost for J.Crew… [Read More...]

Wish List: Gemma Redux Necklace

Gemma Redux

Today’s post is all about the Gemma Redux “Mixed Metal Necklace.” “Why,” you ask. Ultimately because I am an avid online shopper.   A lot of that is window-shopping because I do have a budget that I respect and stick to (3 cheers to fiscal responsibility!).  Don’t judge me- there are definitely worse hobbies out there.… [Read More...]

(Don’t Forget To Enter The 80 Acres Body Care Giveaway!)   Lately I have been wearing rings.  After I got married I sort of fell out of the practice of seeing rings as an accessories option, because I always wore my wedding band.  Recently however, I have gotten back in the habit of changing up… [Read More...]

I am not very superstitious.  That isn’t to say I don’t make wishes on eyelashes. I do.  Most of the time it’s because I do not know what to do with them (it just feels like littering to toss them on the ground). But, if you do believe any bit of luck helps, then please,… [Read More...]
