Going Green In Style: Envirosax

There’s no reason going green can’t be fashionable. For the last few years, I had been lugging around my grocery store’s logo-imprinted canvas bags. They’re functional but definitely not something I would have ever taken everywhere…from Target to the local Farmers’ Market. Then a friend of mine turned me on to Envirosax.
Envirosax is an Australian [...]

Strip mall fashion.

Nestled in between DejaVu Nails and Joann Fabrics (in one of the many 86th and Ditch strip malls), Designer Outlet is a true hidden consignment treasure. At first glance, it seems no different than any other mature ladies resale boutique…complete with matchy-matchy “going on a Carnival cruise” ensembles and hideously printed polyester tops.

Hello lover.

Yes. Today is the day. I’ve thought about it for months and had my ticket for almost a week. I’m ridiculously excited and, quite honestly, can’t seem to think about anything else today. So, in celebration of the Sex and the City movie, I’d like to give a shout out to my lady Cynthia Nixon [...]

In my dreams, this dress would be a 50s style cut (perfect for a girl with curves), flattering print in either black, brown or red and incorporate some sort of pocket. Nothing too bulky of course but lack of pockets would [...]

Quality, Taste and Style

The phrase “Make It Work!” has become such a prominent fixture in our vocabulary, pop culture maven or not. As most know, in 2007, Tim Gunn penned his first book with Kate Moloney called Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style. I had avoided buying the perfectly pink bound style bible until I [...]
