We are ever true to Brown* (Stewart and Brown that is…)
I’m having a highlight dilemma this morning… do I go sit in some stuffy salon for 3 hours or do I attempt the dreaded “home highlighting?” I’ve never attempted such a thing at home, but with some practice I have been able to master the salon blow-out on my own (with a little help from...
What’s the Delias?
Happy Holidays!! I’m still on vacation for the rest of the week and I have to say I’m finally starting to feel like a normal person again. As you know, New Years Eve is right around the corner. If you’re anything like me you’re reflecting on the past year and thinking ahead to to the...
Cieled with a conscience
It just dawned on me that there are only a few days left before Christmas!! All my talk about great places to shop on this site and I’ve done almost nothing for the holidays! I guess its a little late to give you gift hints at this point, although I can say I gave MAC...
Made Well
Once upon a time, there was an Urban Socialite who thought it would be a great idea to get a job at J. Crew. Her friend was a manager there and this particular urban socialite thought it would be great to work a couple days a week, reap the benefits of the great employee...
How do Yuuuuu (Crank That)?
Another nor’easter? How annoying. At least some of my favorite designers have their Spring/Summer 2008 line ready to go. Take for instance, Yu Clothing. The line was created by designer Sarah Yu and it highlights the expressive culture of New York City. Her clothes are fun, sophisticated and sexy. “Utilizing her education from FIT...
Me + You = Change
No one can do everything. Everyone can do something. Such is the motto of We Add Up. From the site: The climate crisis is real and happening right now. It’s easy to feel helpless and overwhelmed. People are asking, “What difference will changing my light bulbs really make? The problem is so huge,...

Now in its seventh season, the line has developed its own, unique personality. With clean sexy silhouettes and gorgeous comfortable fabrics you will definitely find...
U-la-la
Like I said yesterday, great clothes that are good for the conscience… In the spirit of always running late, I’ll keep this short. Really, fashion designer Ula Zukowska’s dynamic fashions speak for themselves. Fashion designer Ula Zukowska has been known to the fashion-conscious Torontonians since 1994, when the unforgettable red-burlap pieces of her very first...
Throwing a Feit!
My dad recently got back from a business trip to China. Among his many adventures, he told me about these huge open air markets full of counterfeit goods. From “Rolax’s” to fake LV’s (seriously people, anyone who knows anything can spot a fake from miles a way… you look ridiculous) its not hard to find...
Deeper Understanding
You are what you wear… or at the very least, you covey who you are by what you wear. From over-played Coach bags to over priced Birkin’s, you are being judged. This is part of the reason why I love independent fashion so much. An Evil Kitty T-Shirt, a dress from Elroy or...
All charged before Noon
Ugh! Running late again! Plus, my cell phone battery is almost dead… and I know I’m going to need my iPod at work today! Good thing Noon Solar had me in mind when they designed their cool Cortland purse. All of Noon’s collections continue to be inspired by the need to reduce our culture’s use...
Fight the Snow with help from Ohio
I was all set to write a clever post about this cool new design site– then I looked out my window. There’s literally a foot of snow out there.* I should have been clued in when I woke to the sound of my crazy neighbors shoveling (hey, they’re crazy… just because they’re shoveling, doesn’t...
