Mint Condition
You know what this time of year means, holiday parties! Some, I’m really looking forward to… others, not so much. Either way the parties are an excuse to dive into the depths of my closet and break out some of my favorite dresses. They’re also an excuse to shop for more (although I am...
Dogeared, Dogood
These days, everything is so technical. When I was a kid, we still had things like wishing on the first star you saw at night, “star light star bright…” and making wishes at 11:11 (am or pm, it didn’t matter). Nowadays when I mention that I’ve seen the first star in the sky, I’m usually...
Number One Sunner*
There’s nothing like the Monday after a long four day weekend…Anyway, I know its Cyber Monday and I’m sure tons of websites will have amazing deals you just can’t resist. I for one, am over it. This whole “shop till you drop,” waiting outside of stores so you can be the first one in,...
Fashion Doesn’t Have to be Stupid
Every once and a while I come across a designer who is both super creative and socially aware. Such is the case with Somy Ali and her line So-Me Designs. I love her t-shirts, especially the “be different” and “check other” designs. In addition to making thought provoking shirts, Somy takes her activism...
Up Up and Away
Sometimes the coolest things are the least obvious… for instance, I could walk into Barney’s right now and be told whats hot. Something about skinny jeans, ankle boots and yes, “green” is now fashionable. First of all, we’ve (and by “we” I mean us) been green for quite for sometime. I certainly don’t need a...
Through the Looking Glass
How happy am I that its a short week this week?? I’m actually running super late, but I couldn’t let you start your week without some great fashion. Allison Wonderland not only has a clever name, but her clothes are fun, creative and inspired. Allison started her own unique line in 1998, following her...
Oh Canada!
There’s nothing like a crisp fall morning… I don’t know about you, but I plan on making the most out these bright sunny days. Soon enough I’ll be digging myself out of 3 feet of snow! Before I relax into my weekend I thought I would tell you about the great Canadian designer Elroy. Elroy...
you are a champion in their eyes
“Did you realize that you are a champion in their eyes?” ~ Kanye West, Champion Don’t you just love that song? I think it might be my favorite one on his new CD. I found myself humming it last night as I climbed into my super comfy Champion sweatshirt for a little rest and relaxation....
Peel away the layers
We only truly get to know people when we peel away all the layers. The fancy clothes, the make-up, the false confidence, the mask that most people wear every day… I was just thinking about the people I know. About how you can see people every day and feel like you don’t truly know them…...

Towering Above the Rest
Just back from the Cape and all is well in Boston. I was confronted with a bit of nostalgia yesterday, reconnecting with friends from D.C. and Cali… I guess you could say I’m a little away-sick (like the opposite of home sick). As much as I love Boston, I do miss the uninterrupted shorelines...
Means to an Ends.
I have always lived my life with the idea that if I do something I love, something I’m truly passionate about, things will work out. Its not always the easiest way, but I do believe its the right way to live. There was a time, back in 2005, when I was bringing in a hefty...
