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

Lily + Jae

  TGIF! If you can believe it, it’s 7am and I’m already running late…  So straight to today’s designer, lily + jae! In 2006, while working in wardrobe for film and TV, Jude Feller visited local boutiques in search of detail-oriented, casual clothes that were both functional and attractive, and came up empty-handed. Never one...
Dress Obsession: Nine to Five Dress from Dear Creatures

Dress Obsession: Nine to Five Dress from Dear Creatures

The problem with my new-found obsession with the HBO mini-series “Generation Kill” is that I’ve had Avril Lavigne stuck in my head for the past three days. Nothing against her, but really… I cold do without Sk8r Boy popping into my head when I’m trying to concentrate (oh yeah, you know it’s the song of...
Song of the Day: for no other reason than the fact it's been stuck in my head for 3 days

Song of the Day: for no other reason than the fact it’s been stuck in my head for 3 days

Maybe by posting I’ll stop humming it… Avril’s a little much, however I think a younger junior-high school version of myself would have totally idolized her!

Gotta love SS

With all the hype surrounding fashion week and the Oscars, I needed a little break from the excess (hence the lackadaisical posting). Maybe it’s my job or maybe it’s the economy, but for whatever reason I was kind of overwhelmed by the juxtaposition of those two events and excess in general. That being said, I...

SPANK!

I have to admit, wearing a suit or suit-like apparel each and every day can be kind of a downer. No matter how much I experiment with the look, at the end of the day, there’s no escaping the structured look that my job requires.I do small things to spice it up… this is where...

TGI… Tuesday!

One to Watch: Mary Katrantzou

One to Watch: Mary Katrantzou

Fashion week is always in-box overload. I have to admit, I’ve actually been kind of down… I keep trying to justify a trip down to NYC to see some of the shows (It’s driving me nuts that I have invites to some of my favorite designers!!) but for whatever reason February is totally booked and...

Cherrie-licious

There should be rules against having months with 28 days. Talk about squeezing the juice out of every single day! Anyway, needless to say life is crazy…   combine a bad economy, probable cause dates, VIP passes to fashion week and improbable romances and you have the perfect recipe for why I have been scrambling...

Song of the Day: Spotted! Kris Kross

There are certain musical artists from my past that always have me thinking, “where are they now?” One such group… Kris Kross. I used to have the biggest crush on Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith back in middle school (yes, I know this dates me)! Anyway, Concrete Loop recently spotted Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly out in...

MAJOR Urban Socialite Obsession: Cocoa Pink

You can thank Jill for my newest obsession…. and when I say obsession, I mean I literally can’t stop smelling myself (it gets less weird as you read on, trust me). Seriously, it all started back at the end of January when my office had it’s “secret holiday” exchange thingy.  As people unwrapped their books,...

One to Watch: TCHIBI

  Yesterday was my birthday and I have to say it was one of my favorites. I seriously have the most amazing group of friends here in Boston… to top things off, I reconnected with some of my favorite people from the past (MP, I am still smiling!). Anyway, instead of getting all mushy and...

Friday Treat (You can actually afford…. Really!!!)

February is my birthday month and I’ve always loved the fact that amethyst is my birthstone. I love the rich purple! One look, and you can imagine how much I LOVE Marie Maciel‘s beautiful b-stone ring (the one on top). Then I saw the price…  $12.00. Seriously, no joke. $12.00 for a sterling silver ring...
