Best and worst looks at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards
Did you miss the Billboard Music Awards last weekend? So did I! Here’s the important gossip: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis won Top Rap Song for Thrift Shop! Macklemore thanked Goodwill and Value Village during his acceptance speech. Gotta love him, am I right? I’d share photos from his show-opening performance with Ryan Lewis and Wanz, [...]
Poolside perfect
If this isn’t the perfect little sundress (buy it here now!) to wear to a pool party this summer, I don’t know what is.

Why I’m not ditching Abercrombie & Fitch
Everyone from Kirstie Alley to regular moms and teen daughters are up in arms over Abercrombie & Fitch’s refusal to sell clothing in larger sizes. I’m here to tell you it doesn’t matter.

Thanks to a kind donor, I can offer you this MICHAEL Michael Kors dress (buy it now here!) in a warm burnt [...]
Make the most of your end-of-season bargains right now

Last but not least, I’m finishing Goodwill Industries Week #blog4good campaign by featuring one of my favorite Goodwill success stories. If you’ve shopped at the Glebe Road Goodwill store in Arlington, you probably recognize Debra, who has spent the past few years making Goodwill shoppers smile. Debra struggled with unemployment, but Goodwill gave her a chance [...]
