They’re everywhere. It’s in the magazine. It’s on social media – there have been numerous Tweets, pins, and Facebook posts about them, but what’s the deal? Why are we, all of a sudden, wearing them? I feel like patterned pants came almost out of nowhere. Before this season, only a few designers were coming out […]
Though the pieces were slightly too big (make that at least one size bigger than “normal” at H&M), I managed to make them work…well, as best as I could, anyway. The first piece, one of the double sided dresses, something I was debating over – whether to get the top or the dress (which I […]
NOTE: This post is for Body Image Warrior Week, which I am participating in. Many of the points in this post have been written about before on this site, so regular readers, please bear with me . As a short, slim woman, sometimes I feel like I’m not considered “real.” I’ve freaked a lot of […]
As mentioned in the other post, shoppers were only allowed to purchase three items at the Jason Wu for Target pop-up on Thursday. I took in six pieces to try, including dresses (three), a skirt and two tops and ended up buying one dress and two tops. Two of the dresses I wanted to buy […]

Five years later, very little has changed, so I’m re-issuing the challenge, with some additions, now that both sites have had much more public exposure and social media is more mainstream: New […]
We may have had our turkey over a month ago, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t partake in sales. Why should Americans have all the fun? After all, we all love a good deal, right? New, Canadian-owned members-only flash sale site, Peacock Parade will be holding a sales event featuring brands such as Céline […]
This year’s Frocktail Party was, like the previous years, absolutely fabulous. Back at the Burroughs Building, which was host to the first event back in 2009, the annual fundraiser in support of the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) offered not only the auctioning of dresses, but also complimentary manicures and of course, delicious hors d’oeuvres, […]

Held at Neubacher Shor Contemporary gallery, the event featured the unveiling of Project F, a series of images created by photographer Christopher Wadsworth and illustrator Matt Forsyte.
