Fall is in the Air

[September 29]

Did I mention, I LOVE fall.  I love everything about it.  I love everything autumnal.  Something about the crisp air (ok, so it hasn’t been so brisk, but we’ve had a few tastes) and the changing colors of the leaves, leaves me wanting hot apple cider, warm, cozy sweaters, and a big blanket to curl [...]

Vaute Couture: Fabulous and Friendly

[September 21]

In the wake of fashion week I realize that once again life got in the way and I totally blanked on making the most out of the week.  There are tons of eco-friendly and vegan fashion lines that showed through the week and an amazing production of shows at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea called [...]

OPI Nail Polish Is Formaldehyde Free!

[September 8]

A couple weeks ago I was getting a manicure and pining over all the supercool colors that OPI has to offer.  For the past few years I’ve been using the same few nail colors that I’ve purchased from companies that I know to be absolutely safe and chemical-free.  Though I love my bright reds and [...]

Loving Loomstate

[July 15]

In this ridiculous heat and thoughts of my growing belly, I’m dying for some of these Loomstate pieces to add a little style and sensibility to my days: Related posts:A Lazy Jamaican Sunseteve*lynn Tie Dye Dresses and SkirtsA Make-Shift Breakfast PerfectionPB&J

Natives: Crocs for the Older, Artsier Set

[June 15]

A couple months ago, I snagged a pair of supercool Native shoes from my local shoe store.  They are amazingly light, surprisingly comfortable, and about a million times more fashionable than Crocs.  Last week I convinced my dad that they were the perfect shoes for walking along his rocky beach and Richie that they were [...]

eve*lynn Tie Dye Dresses and Skirts

[June 11]

I’ve mentioned in passing a couple of times that once upon a time I owned and designed a clothing line.  eve*lynn began as a collection of t’s and tanks made from vintage t-shirts I’d scout from the 99 cent rack at The Salvation Army.  It grew into a full line of contemporary women’s wear: dresses, [...]

Beach Necessities

[May 28]

Memorial Day Weekend is notoriously the first weekend of summer (regardless of that fact that Summer 2010 doesn’t start until June 21st).  And regardless of the fact that it is often not the most sunny and beautiful, we all prepare for hot days at the beach (or pool, or park, or stoop…) hoping for at [...]

80′s Cut-out Top

[May 26]

I snagged this supercool new-to-me top at Guvnor’s and am loving it!  It’s the perfect combination of cute and comfy for going out.  I love finding great new vintage for my closet.  It means I’ve got something that no one else has AND I’m not contributing to the craziness of manufacturing and all that is [...]

Bensimon Sneakers

[May 21]

For Mother’s Day this year, we wondered into Madewell to buy Richie’s mom something cute.  We wound up getting her a fab long necklace and a printed scarf.  The thing is, I wound up with a few Mother’s Day gifts too! One of which is my new set of kicks.  I snagged these awesome high [...]

Sweats for Sitting Around

[May 20]

While I’d love to pretend that I’m capable of looking cute all day every day, it’s so far from the truth that I couldn’t even pull off the lie let alone actually looking the part.  The truth actually is that while style is really important to me, comfort plays just as big a role (if [...]
