So, I’m waiting in the 20-plus person line for the fitting room this evening at Forever 21′s Union Square location, and it’s moving slower than usual. Construction has rendered the downstairs fitting rooms inoperable, but even with only one functioning set of fitting rooms (a frequent . . . → GO ON… Musings From The Field: Dressing Room Decorum
It should be obvs by now that there’s not much I don’t love about shopping; the thrill of the hunt; the triumph of the score; the fact that my limited budget often results in new dresses cut from old pillowcases; et. al. However, there remains one . . . → GO ON… DSW, Delightful Super Wow
The other day in Jersey, I pulled this oversize knit shirt out of Dad’s closet and saw serious potential (probs because it’s Zegna).
When Mom saw what I’d done to it, she bellowed, “Your father still wears that! It’s one of his best summer pieces!” assuming I’d . . . → GO ON… Wrap Tops and Transformative Power
I can’t fully transition from ski bum nonchalance to New York state of mind without one more post on Pip’s Consignment. When I found this striped shirt there, it didn’t look like much to the naked eye. But I had a hunch that its outfit-related versatility . . . → GO ON… Uber Versatile Striped Boatneck Top

I’ve never been overly impressed by LC’s or Whitney’s outfits, so when their fifteen minutes netted them near-iconic fashion status in addition to getting them invited to, like, all the coolest parties, I was more than a little perplexed. Yes, they continually carried the latest It . . . → GO ON… From Being Poor Comes Personal Style (Or, Why The Hills Collections Suck Balls)

Below, see Exhibit A: Two dresses from Alexander McQueen for Target’s latest fashion initiative, Designer Abominations, err, Collaborations.
Design-wise, the Zigzag Print Dress and the Tattoo Print Strapless Dress ain’t half-bad. They’re cute enough that I’d try them on and consider buying them…if they weren’t priced at . . . → GO ON… Designer Resale Vs. Designer Collaborations
Mmkay, so, Target’s obvs made a killing off of their GO International line, what with the dire economic sitch and all. And while I’ve enthusiastically bashed some of its offerings, I can’t knock the line’s concept because 1. It gives emerging designers a chance to establish . . . → GO ON… The Crock That Is Designer Collaborations
A few nights ago, my ski buds and I cruised the town of Telluride on two separate missions. While the dudes debated our dining options, I surveyed the shopping situation. Cowboy-themed garb littered the displays of nearly every storefront; Stetsons, furs, suede fringe boots and sterling . . . → GO ON… Vintage FILA Sweater Proves Fab Apres Ski Wear
