Biking gets fashionable with the “Get in the Saddle” tour
Levi’s has recognized that riding a bike in jeans can leave you feeling clumsy, sweaty, and rather exposed. In fact, it’s what keeps this fashionista off her two wheels most of the time. So I’m glad that Levi’s has teamed up with Urban Outfitters to travel the country and bring its “Get in the Saddle” [...]

Sundresses, fun dresses
Believe it or not, dear readers, but it’s going to be over 80 degrees in DC today! Â I’m so excited that I busted out the self tanner last night. Â On days like this I let my mind wander and think about exotic locales where warm weather and sunshine are the default settings. Â And what’s the [...]

Buckle Up!
I love handbags, but they don’t always love me. Â On any given day I need to carry a wallet, camera, Soda Stream water bottle, lunch bag, extra pair of shoes, and a newspaper. Â And I travel light compared to many of my friends! That’s why I need a bag that can handle all that, plus [...]

BEST OF Guest Blogger: A Rose by Any Other Size
 So I was watching The Mo’Nique Show (I love me some Mo’Nique) during which Mo’Nique talked about her weight loss and had guests on like Star Jones who discussed losing weight and how it’s time for the black community to get not skinny, but healthy. Now, all that’s great, but I’m not here to [...]

Ain’t Nothin’ Like the Real Thing
Reduce, reuse, recycle. That phrase has become a bit cliched, but it’s still a mantra by which this fashionista lives. Why get new when you can purchase a gently used dress/couch/handbag/picture/necklace that’s gently used? One of my favorite party planning tips is this: instead of using disposable serving dishes, plates, and silverware, why not select [...]

I’ve Got a New’d Attitude
First of all, let me explain the title: it’s an homage to Ms. Patti LaBelle. If you’ve never seen the video or heard the lyrics for “New Attitude,” then you’re missing out on a prime pastel slice of 80′s culture. With one of the best “is it hair or is it a hat” looks ever, [...]

The Look for Less
I used to watch this show with Elisabeth Hasselbeck and think, I could do that. That’s actually my specialty – seeing a designer look in a magazine that costs thousands of dollars, and finding it in real life for much, much less. Sure, I would probably rather have the real thing, but that’s not how [...]

Hey, Shawty!
My goodness, it’s HOT out there! I almost got heatstroke today taking a long, long walk in the hot, hot sun. DC summers are no joke. Which brings me to the subject of today’s trend report, shorts. Love ‘em, hate ‘em, either way, you’re gonna need ‘em. At least, that’s kind of how I feel [...]

Guest Blogger: Thrifting for Vintage
If you’re anything like me, you don’t want to look like just any other girl on the street. But you don’t want to be spending tons of money on overpriced, mass produced designer fashions just to set yourself apart, either.  The solution to finding affordable, one-of-a-kind style that’s both flattering and in trend? Vintage fashion. [...]
