Gift Guide: Writers & Bloggers

Now that it’s Black Friday and the holiday shopping chaos is upon us, I thought I’d have a go at making your holiday shopping faster & easier this year. In that spirit, I’ve put together a series of gift guides to help you when purchasing for the people in your life! There’ll be one for…

Practical Quality

via perszi Practical quality – what is it, and why is it important? It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. My theory is that there’s such a thing as “practical quality” when it comes to clothing/shoes. A better way to put it is the “quality plateau” – after a certain price point, the…

Rene Geneva Designs

So, at the Bleet Up last week, there were some vendors as well. And though I neglected to mention it in my recap post, one of them in particular struck my fancy, a lot. In fact, I was left pretty speechless (which if you know me, is a feat unto itself). That line was, as…

Daily Outfit + Shopping Recap

I didn’t post this yesterday. I’m a terrible person. Lots of self flagellation is in order. (orrr, I forgot to type this up Monday night, and I spent ALLDAY yesterday running around doing errands & getting set up with a client to start doing work) Anyways! So this is what I wore Sunday. Ruffled Old…

Fluff Bags & Accessories

When we were at Atomic City a few weeks ago, looking at the half off sale, I noticed a laptop bag hanging down from the ceiling. I’ve been in the market for a cute new one, and this one was adorable! Unfortunately, I wasn’t for sure it would fit my laptop, and sale items were…

Daily Outfit 9/7/09

Like I said, we went to the Botanical Gardens today. So I tried to pick something out that was semi-practical: The practical comes in because I wore these boots instead of my heeled Bronx ones. It was still a little impractical because, you know, it was 95 degrees outside, but hey! Secondhand necklace, Fluevog engineer…

Fabulous Fluevogs for Fall

Over the past few weeks, Fluevog has been posting their new shoes for fall on the website, and they’ve outdone themselves yet again! They debuted all kinds of gorgeous boots…the Fluevog Kona, above, is a deliciously wearable mid-calf boot, with saucy back laces and heel detailing. They also come in a gorgeous wine shade. The Libby…

Sale at Heels.com!

Right now, Heels.com is running a promotion for $20 off any order of $50 or more. I’m abstaining from shoes for a while* because, well, the rest of my wardrobe is getting mad at me for not paying attention to it, but I thought I’d pass the good news on to you and show you…

Beta Boutique

I just discovered this lovely little Etsy shop, and I thought I’d pass the lovelies on to you! It looks like there’s a pretty nice variety of eras, from the 60′s onwards, and the prices are great (most items are under $40, although there are some that are higher). There’s an okay variety of sizes,…

A Shoe Sale of Amazonian Fluevogian Proportions!

So, if I’ve learned anything, it’s that every time I discover a new brand or find a shoe I like, I should immediately search for it on Amazon. Frequently the better price will be somewhere else, but just as frequently, Amazon has a rock-bottom price. Another tip: It’s definitely worth watching the item for a…
