V, Paper Doll Edition
View Details
Talk about making my day! Working through my reading list at Bloglovin’, imagine how surprised I was when I hit The Jersey Gem and saw this! I told y’all in my last Sunday Coffee that Meg (of The Jersey Gem) was talented. Well, if this ain’t quite the rendition, I don’t know what is! And here’s [...]

WVW: A Wedge and a Prayer*
View Details
Loving these new wedges. And praying I don’t fall off them after what happened to me last week. Some of you know that I twisted my ankle—not in platforms, not in five-inch spikes. No. You’d think so, right? Y’all have seen my heels. Nope. I ate it in flip-flops. Don’t ask. All I can say [...]

Sunday Coffee: A Jersey Gem, Dita, and Uvo’s little luxury…
View Details
The Cream Fashion illustrations from Meg of The Jersey Gem. I know I have an affinity for all things Joisey, but this gem of a bloggerista hails from Jersey, of the Channel Islands off the coast of Normandy, France. Aside from being a talented illustrator, Meg is also in the midst of opening a café [...]

Friend Friday: Fall Forecast
View Details
This week, Katy decided to take her Friend Friday* questions in a more lighthearted direction ( fall 2010 fashion!), and I’m so glad she did. Because from about the beginning of August annually, I just can’t wait to get back to fall, so all my beloved boots and cozy knits can come out and play. [...]

WVW: Fall Preview*
View Details
I’m not known for my patience. So today, since it wasn’t 100,000 degrees, I decided to flex my fall 2010 muscle. As you can see from my last several posts, I’m in a black phase again. Enough with the summer whites and brights. I’m over it. And suddenly, I’m really feeling the red lips and [...]

Worker V: 1.0
View Details
I was recently asked via Formspring about my work attire, and more specifically, if I dress more conservatively for work. The short answer is: I do. In my own way, of course. The person who asked the question followed up with an email to me, in which she wrote: I’ve always worked in the cultural [...]

Sunday Coffee: Chicken Cutlets and My Conspicuous Consumption
View Details
The Cream Jersey Shore Chicken Cutlet Toss Schadenfreudian bittage so good that I just could not help myself. This actually happened two episodes ago in the current season of Jersey Shore, but I saw a replay this week and still cackled riotously through the entire thing. Even if reality TV isn’t your thing, you must [...]

Friend Friday: Conspicuous Consumption
View Details
Is fashion blogging nothing more than conspicuous consumption? Well, if you’re shooting outfits and giving details about who designed each item you’re wearing, and perhaps even listing where you purchased items, I think that’s kind of a no-brainer. Inconspicuous people don’t post details about what they buy and wear on the Internet. While the expression “conspicuous consumption” [...]

You have a Q? I have an A.
View Details
It’s been a week of questions, and thankfully (for these at least), I do have answers. I was recently selected by a couple bloggers to answer the following questions, but I’ve also answered a few on Formspring lately as well. Have you got a question? You can always ask it anonymously—just go to Grit and [...]

WVW: Double Crossed*
View Details
Two crosses, cause lately, it feels like one isn’t quite enough. Remember what I wrote about double entendres. That’s my anecdote for the day. I promise regular programming will resume shortly. Oh, and Prêt à Porter P, this outfit is dedicated to you. Because there is method to our madness. *WVW = What V Wore [...]
