If you’ve ever seen a Kate Spade store, you could probably guess that I am 100 percent obsessed with everything they make. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw they were opening a new store at the Pentagon City mall — one Metro stop away from work and only a few away from […]
One of my favorite stores of all time is going out of business. I first learned of the existence of Betsey Johnson (and her daughter, Lulu) in an issue of Seventeen magazine when I was about 11. But the first time I walked into a Betsey store was a few years later, in Miami. The […]
Today was the 30th meeting of St. John’s College and the United States Naval Academy in an epic battle of… croquet. Yeah. And the midshipmen lost for the 25th time. The good news is there were a bunch of amazing outfits. For example: I had gotten a new, super cute Lilly Pulitzer dress to wear […]
OK. I know I said that no one should ever wear jumpsuits, and that they are a crime against humanity (and your body). But recent fashion-related reality television events have caused me to change my mind slightly. First, Sheena on America’s Next Top Model All-Stars. Forgive this photo — I couldn’t find a picture online, […]
Even better? They were only $4.95. Capezio was having a special. (Unfortunately, the free ballet shoes offer is over, but they are offering free shipping on “fashion legwear” through Sept. 30. If you’re interested, visit capezionewyork.com and use the code CNY at checkout.)
I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t address two trends that make me want to gnaw my limbs off. Neither is new, but unfortunately they don’t seem to be going away. First: Jeggings and/or leggings as pants. See all these women? Combined, they have about 5 grams of fat. And they STILL don’t […]
I know this is shocking, but I always LOVED shopping for back-to-school clothes. It’s really the only time of the year that I remember going and being able to get a lot of new things at once, instead of just a piece here and there. And I always had to have something new for the […]
I love bathing suits. Especially colorful bikinis. I buy the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue every year just to see the bathing suits. And my swimsuit drawer is overflowing with all manner of chlorine-scented lycra. Of course, right now the only bathing suit I am wearing is navy blue and super boring. But hopefully I will […]
I’ve been doing a whole lot more eating than shopping and swimming lately. But I did want to share some awesome eyeshadow sets I picked up a while back. As anyone who read my Watchmen review knows, I am not exactly a big comic book person. (Although I do have a Batman pillowcase… but that’s […]
Since I started an actual fire inside my oven last night and set off our smoke alarm, I think I need to tweak the recipe I was using a bit before posting it. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about two exciting things I discovered this week while seeking lunch in Annapolis (instead […]
