An interesting addition to Biore’s (affordable) skincare line–steam activated cleanser!

March 11, 2010

Scoped this out over at Stylist.com (one of my fave resources for fashion news):
Did you know that 60% of women wash their faces in the shower each morning?
That’s what Bioré found while researching new product ideas, so they created their new Steam Activated Cleanser, specifically designed to work with the steam in your shower.
The formula [...]

Major props to Payless–they’ve made avante garde inexpensive!

March 10, 2010

There was much discussion several months ago when Christian Siriano’s fall runway designs were matched up with some very edgy footware–would Payless really offer such a thing on a wide scale?  Would the appeal translate from runway to discount shoe shelf?
The answer is a resounding YES.  Payless just released its newest Siriano designs–all in limited [...]

All-season (especially great for spring!) trenches on a budget

March 9, 2010

Spring is a great time to shop for all-season trench coats, because not only are they perfect for the season, you’re also likely to find a good selection and in colors other than the traditional khaki (not that I have anything against khaki, as I’ve said before).
Even better is that you’ll find a good selection [...]

Give a little, get a little–where do your charitable dollars go?

March 4, 2010

In tough economic times, most of us don’t even have any “charity dollars,” at least not in a big-dollar kind of way.  But even if money’s tight, you can still donate small amounts to your favorite charities–every little bit really does help–and often receive a logo product of some kind in return.
You already know you [...]

Spotted on The Cut–fun fashion watches for $39

March 3, 2010

Love these for what they are: inexpensive sport watches with wildly fun designs.  Omega and Movado, they are not, but what they are is irresistable. 
Vaguely reminiscent of Swatch watches, by Toronto-based May 28th, are bright, fun, and practical–the cases are water-resistant, and the stretchy cloth bands make them perfect for the beach or gym–or anywhere casual, for [...]

If you read this blog regularly, you’ve probably noticed that I have a special fondness for socially and environmentally conscious companies, and always encourage you to spend your precious shopping dollars with such companies.
Imagine my delight, then, when mega-store H&M announced just over a week ago that they’d be carrying an organic skincare line.  Luckymag [...]

Best way to shop for shoes EVER? Buy a pair, and a child in need gets a pair for free.

March 1, 2010

If you’re unfamiliar with Tom’s Shoes, [...]

Fun artist at Etsy.com with pendants for $5 each (or less!)

February 26, 2010

I try to check Etsy.com fairly regularly to look for clothes and accessories that are both unique and budget-friendly.  There’s a wealth of them there, so you’re bound to find something that tickles your fancy.
The challenge is that there’s so much to see over there that it can be overwhelming trying to winnow down your [...]

Spring accessory trend–fringe necklaces! HUGE selection at Sam Moon, all under $10

February 25, 2010

You’ve surely noticed them popping up everywhere this spring–that flashy metallic fringe against the skin, looking so fabulous with scoop-necked tees and tanks.  Fringe necklaces are one of the must-have accessories right now, but as with any trend that’s here today, gone tomorrow–don’t spend a lot on one!
And you don’t have to.  Sam Moon, which [...]

If you liked Max Azria’s recent designs at MB Fashion Week, check out Charlotte Russe

February 24, 2010

Max Azria is one of my very, very favorite designers, but most of his pieces are WAY out of my budget.  And probably WAY out of your budget, too.
His recent line at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week featured a gorgeous line of soft suiting, which manages to look feminine without being frilly (and comfy, too).
I love the [...]
