With all of these trends milling around in fashion spreads and tabloid magazines, I can barely keep my head on straight.  What do I buy? The fringe purse or the fur vest!?!? Jeggings or slouchy pants?! [Deep breathing.]

But let’s get real: in one month fur vests will totally be out and you’ll be looking down at your werewolf vest and clogs wondering what the hell you were thinking.

That is why we need to get smart and go ‘back to basics’ with simple tees, cardigans, and timeless colors and styles.  The best place to conquer a closet full of clothes that always last and go with everything? A little three letter word we know and love: Gap. And the best part? You can stock up on these timeless pieces for under $20.  Boo-yah. Read More »

If my dry skin and red nose tell me anything it’s that the brutally cold months of winter are here. (Or that I should really invest in some moisturizer.) And they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. If you’re one of the many unlucky souls trudging through the arctic tundra to get anywhere, good luck. Better start layering now, because it’s gonna take awhile.

Luckily, The Gap has come to the rescue with some majorly cute layering pieces (that are all on the cheap!)  that can take your winter from holy-hell-I-can’t-feel-my-limbs to OMG-it’s-really-cold-but-yay!-I-still-look-cute. Because no matter how hard those snowflakes are whipping us in the face, we still deserve to look good. For cheap. There are far more important things to spend our money on, like extra hot lattes from The Bux. Read More »

[Welcome to my Weekly Love List. A list on all things I love, because if I love them - well then obviously you may (and should) love them too. As the Backstreet Boys song says (and yes I am actually quoting them) “My Love is All I Have To Give.” So with that throwback, here are this week’s list-worthy things…]

1. Bar Mitzvah Disco book. A compilation of only the most awkward photos EVER. 13-year-olds in puffy dresses in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Guaranteed to make you laugh. Always. Oh, and in case you’re looking to break out in Hollywood, BMD is now recruiting for all of your bar/bat mizvah home videos. That special-ness that was your glittery hot pink dress needs to be shared. Because embarassment is always worth loving.

2. Quoteable Cards. I love, love, LOVE these. I send them for birthdays, I put them on my vision board (yes, I have a vision board) on my fridge, in my cubicle– all over. Nothing like an inspirational reminder when you’re feeling down and out.

3. The Gap’s 30% off sale. I love Gap because stuff is always, always on sale. and I love that until tomorrow (January 4th), any in store purchase of $75.00 or more is 30% off! More cozy socks, cute sweaters and comfy bras? I’m in!

4. Seychelles Bootie.With jeans? Cute. With tights? Also Cute. With leggings and a chunky sweater? You guessed it: cute, cute, cute. Oh, and did I mention they are also on sale? Now that is what I call cuuute.

5. Would You Rather books. Would you rather . . . have breast implants made of Nerf or Play-Doh? Walk in on your parents, or have them walk in on you? These books are great for procrastination, for drinking conversation, for getting to know your hallmates, or for just absurd fun. Get all 3 because, trust me on this one, you will become addicted!
