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

Don't get Stung

Don’t get Stung

  First let me start by saying I’m not the biggest fan of Cosmo magazine. Its just so… tacky. “101 ways to please your man” or “how to make your sex life even yummier” or whatever. In actuality, I think that magazine stands for everything that’s wrong with women’s magazines today.   I say all...
Driven by Inspiration

Driven by Inspiration

Back in the day my neighbor’s father used to collect Ford Pintos. (You can’t make stuff like this up). His impressive collection used to entertain us for hours. We’d play in them, sneak around and sometimes he’d take us for rides in them (my mom will not be pleased to find this out … she...
Uma!

Uma!

  As women across the globe get ready to leave their homes this morning, a debate will surface to the tune of: which high-end purse company will I advertise for today? (“Hmm… do I want to carry my double-C Coach bag or my double-G Gucci bag?”) Please. I know you’re past the whole “it bag”...
You are not Ready.

You are not Ready.

    Bored? Looking to get those creative juices flowing? Why not make your own Readymech? “Readymechs are free, flatpack toys for you to print and build. They are designed to fit on an 8.5″x11″ page and printed with any printer. You’ll need double-sided tape, thick matte paper, and 10-15 minutes for build time. ”...
Conspiracy Theory

Conspiracy Theory

Why is it that all of my cute “going out” clothes are sooooo uncomfortable? I have this one shirt from bebe that is literally the most uncomfortable thing I own, but I keep it around because every time I wear it I get tons of compliments. Its like some kind of conspiracy… every time I...
Mama Mia!

Mama Mia!

If only Mia Shvili had been around when I was running track! I don’t know about you, but I love how track style is filtering into mainstream fashion. The sleek, form fitting silhouette combined with lush “look at me” colors was always half the fun of shopping for workout clothes in college. Emperor Moth, a...
Be Uniqlo

Be Uniqlo

  As much as I love a good luxury piece, the over-branding of many of today’s most popular brands has ruined them for me. You can’t walk down the street without being bombarded by LVs, C’s, CC’s, DG’s and CD’s….. At the end of the day clothes should be about the clothes, not about the...
Sinful kisses

Sinful kisses

In some ways I have always wanted to be a “bad girl.” In high school and college I made it a point to be friends with them. You know, those beautiful crazy girls who are always causing some kind of trouble, always dress in these fierce / ridiculous outfits and have the guys loving them...

held in the highest regard

I’m not much of a scarf person. It always happens the same way, I see someone wearing one … like at work or something… and get inspired. I run out and buy one. I bring it home and attempt to tie it around my neck in some seemingly-fashionable-formation, only to end up looking like I’m...
M&P

M&P

  I have never been much a meat and potatoes kind of girl. In fact, I didn’t eat meat as a child. There was no real logic to this choice, I just didn’t like how it tasted. I used to hide the chicken my mom made and once tried to feed it to the dog...
2005 wish, granted.

2005 wish, granted.

  Back in the day I described my perfect shoe… the wearable track spike. Clearly the designers at Puma are avid readers of this site and they set out to please me with their latest collection. The Anwani, a comfortable slip on with “a sporty track-inspired outsole” is just what I had in mind. The...

Treehouse28

  Remember when you were a kid and you had that friend with a tree-house? Or maybe you were one of the lucky ones who actually had their own tree-house (we lost all of our trees in a hurricane when I was a kid so we were forced into a neighbors yard….) Anyway, the best...
