Relax, Darling. It’s Resort Time!
Ahhh, those nefarious “Resort” collections. Â What exactly does that mean, anyway? Â I’m certainly not jetting off to the south of France this summer. Â Oh, what? Â It’s actually time for Resort 2012 collections? Â Hmm…I guess there’s still time to book that January trip to Cabo, right? Ha. Â I wish. Â Actually, Resort wear today isn’t the stuffy [...]

Wearin’ o’ the Green
Green is a tough color too wear. Â Far too many of us shy away from the shade for fear of looking washed out or seasick or gangrenous or just altogether a bit too Kermit-y. Â But, dear readers, it need not be this way! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve pulled together some of my [...]

Guest Blogger: I Am a Goodwill Addict
Hello. My name is Frugal Jana and I am a Goodwill addict. About a year ago, I discovered my problem.  A sales associate at one of my many neighborhood Goodwill’s pointed out that I had not been in for a while. Feeling a little self conscious that he noticed my shopping pattern, I mumbled that [...]

Couture, Couture
I’m not even gonna play: this season’s couture shows were jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I could save up my whole life and not be able to afford a single item, but I don’t care. These clothes, dear readers, are the stuff of dreams. And while few distinct trends emerge in couture – why would they, when couture [...]

And Just Like That…It’s Au Revoir
Are you ready for spring? I’m certainly not (hello boots and tights!), but it’s been a great romp down the runway the past few weeks, and the culmination of the Paris shows leaves this fashionista to believe that we have much to look forward to six months from now. The big names came out to [...]

Caped Crusader
When you hear the word “cape,” you might think of Batman & Robin or Superman.  But Fall 2010′s trend is not inspired by a superhero. Think more along the lines of fur stoles, beaded shrugs, and sophisticated wool toppers that are anything but cartoonish. The cape is one of the hottest silhouettes this fall, in any number [...]

Must-Have Shoe for Fall
Invented in Holland and worn by factory workers throughout Scandinavia, the workaday clog is not worn solely for safety in the barn. They can also be worn when competitive clog dancing. But I know you’re probably not concerned with Welsh clog dancing. You may be more interested in clogs entering the fashion world. I’m with [...]

Glamour Magazine’s “Women of the Year”
I stumbled upon this red carpet event completely by mistake or good fortune, however you want to look at it. I had no idea such an event was going on, except that I happened to follow a twitter link to something about Zara. (I’ll do pretty much anything for Zara.) It was a pleasant surprise [...]

The Breakup Bag
Ladies, you know the feeling. Your heart is broken. That special relationship has turned sour, and the realization that you must move on is starting to set in. Maybe it was your decision, maybe it was his. It almost doesn’t matter. You now have a large hole in your heart, and you want to fill [...]

Goodwill Good Buy of the Week
This week, in anticipation of spring weather and 70 degree days, I have pulled some pretty pink pieces for you. (Alliteration. Yup.) I realize it’s a little bit dreary today, but word on the street is that it’s going to be just gorgeous this weekend, so get ready! The first piece is a cardigan from [...]
