It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Love You More (more than I already do? it is possible!)

Love You More (more than I already do? it is possible!)

Nikki Brzescinski from Tucson, Arizona creates a “flyer of her day” for Assignment #10 Every so often I take a break from showing you things you can buy, and instead focus on you as a person. You are, after all, equal to so much more than the sum of your purchases (fabulous as they may...
Tied-Up and Naughty!

Tied-Up and Naughty!

I notice ties. Maybe in the way that some men notice a woman’s shoes or whether she has a manicure. Its unfair to judge a man by his tie, especially since I rarely get manicures and would wear puma flats with every outfit if I could…. Nevertheless I do notice them. Its like a little...
A cupcake a day...

A cupcake a day…

Take an idea and run with it…. that’s what they say. If you’re passionate enough– the possibilities are endless. Take your boy Johnny, for instance. His idea? Cupcakes. The mysterious Johnny Cupcakes creates & pushes all sorts of limited edition/exclusive clothing & accessories for both ladies & gents, all with cupcakes encoded within his designs....
Cheers!

Cheers!

I’m not much of a drinker… in fact I had to call my little brother (over 21, of course) last week to ask about good vodka. Entertaining can be somewhat of struggle if people want more than a glass of wine or maybe a beer… and even with beer, there are only like 3 kinds...
Nerdistas unite!

Nerdistas unite!

((1)If you don’t find humor in sporks, I seriously question your sense of humor… (2 and 3) Street Fighter II and Nintendo revisited… ditto) The best trick is to have a nerdy mind hidden in a fabulous exterior. That way you have the upper- hand with the superficial people as well as the intellectual snobs....
Speedy Corporate Defection

Speedy Corporate Defection

So… its pretty rare that I laugh out loud while looking at clothes. I mean… clothes are serious right? This shrine (admiring my just-woke-up-self in the glow of my glass-top desk) should be covered in only the best- and that takes concentration (have I seen too many “I’m worth it” ads…hmmmm?). But one stop at...
Tee-shirt tease

Tee-shirt tease

The Urban Socialite How happy am I that it’s the first day of spring?! I love this time of year because I loooove tee-shirts. Not the pre-tattered Urban Outfitters kind… and definitely not those obnoxious “Hottie!” or “Dump Him!” tee-shirts that girls around my campus are rocking from last year. No… I’m somewhat of a...
Bella-Bags

Bella-Bags

Hmmm… it seems like just yesterday I was wishing for a stylish new lap top bag… Ironically (or maybe I planned it that way), my adorable new bag from UpTown Bella arrived at work around 12 pm yesterday. If my Powerbook could speak, I’m sure it would thank me for finally putting it in a...
Pink Loves Brown and Emily Would Love Kathlin...

Pink Loves Brown and Emily Would Love Kathlin…

Admit it. A tiny part of you loved Charlotte from Sex and the City. Perfect hair, impeccable manners, and her gorgeous super-preppy sense of style. If you’re anything like me however, pulling off perfection like that on a daily basis is daunting to say the least. That’s where Pink Loves Brown, Kathlin Argiro, and Emily...
Refinding what's lost....

Refinding what’s lost….

Whenever the seasons change I find myself in a place of re-evaluation. Especially around spring when everything is new. I start to think about other things I could be doing… other paths and forgotten projects. Spring awakens possibility. Sometimes I get caught up and go on fruitless searches this time of year. Looking for lost...
Spoon Fed Art, Inspired Post...

Spoon Fed Art, Inspired Post…

Sometimes we have to face our problems directly. It’s the hardest way, really. It takes courage, strength, and an unfaltering determination. Take Karin Collins, for instance, a fabulous designer to whom I was recently introduced. In the midst of looking for ways to overcome a 20-year battle with an eating disorder, Karin focused on an...
Obsessed with Mud

Obsessed with Mud

I don’t have many obsessions…. I’m somewhat obsessed with Jillian Siegel, the main character in ‘The Booster‘ and her ridiculous obsession. I’m obsessed with running. I’ve recently become obsessed with public transportation, namely the 39 bus… such a cheap and fun way to commute! I’m obsessed with art…. and my new keychain. It wasn’t until...
