Forgetting Fair Isle

February 28, 2010 – 8:57 pm
I made it to Maine. I feel like I'm in Aspen. I, however, do not look like I'm in Aspen, unlike the super stylish girl in this snapshot. Obviously she was photographed on the streets of New York City, but wouldn't she look even better sipping hot toddies in the lodge après-ski?I forgot my favorite fair isle sweater at home, but luckily remembered to grab my scarf, which is currently snug around my neck, warding of the winter storm.

Hitting the Slopes

February 28, 2010 – 8:56 pm
After just barely surviving two exams, I'm so relieved to be getting out of town. I'll be spending the weekend visiting my brother, attempting to ski, and frolicking in the snow in a small town in Maine ("a town where the common is uncommon; where Brooks Bros. sells pliers and wrenches, Victoria’s Secret is a chocolate raspberry dessert and the Timberland Outlet is an exit for logging trucks," according to their "department" of tourism, which is probably a person armed with a laptop).I'm packing all of my coziest sweaters, leggings, and scarves, and of course, my laptop. Our bed & breakfast is supposed to have internet, but updates will be sporadic. When I'm in the presence of snow, it's hard for me to be productive (unless you consider building snowmen and making snow angels productive, which I certainly do).striped sweater (purchased a few sizes up for a slouchier fit) and ...

Garden Party

February 28, 2010 – 8:56 pm
When I woke up today, it was fifteen degrees outside. I can appreciate cold temperatures, but it's the end of February. Winter, I love you, but I'm ready to see Spring again.Tomorrow I leave to visit my brother in Maine for the weekend, and as soon as I return, I'm pulling out all of my favorite floral skirts and dresses, whether the weatherman agrees with me or not. Although I have plenty, I wouldn't mind adding these pretty pieces to my repertoire. Wouldn't the dresses look cute over a long sleeved striped top? Or under a cardigan? And wouldn't the skirts look cute with a boyfriend T? Or with a slouchy tank?And they may be brand new, but they're surprisingly all on sale right now... at American Eagle Outfitters.

Pocketful of Sunshine

February 28, 2010 – 8:56 pm
The last time I was home, I rediscovered a pile of old bootcut jeans from high school and I fell in love all over again. After four years of wearing slim cut skinnies, a roomier fit feels so refreshing.I'm not ready to give up all of my drainpipes, but for a long day of studying, when I need to be extra comfortable, this flawlessly worn-in denim feels so right. Even better? They're so much easier to sit indian-style in, a necessity when it comes to spending hours in the library stacks. Since I have two exams on Thursday, I have a feeling I'll be wearing these for three days straight.boyfriend T and jeans, Gap. jacket, Marc by Marc Jacobs. scarf, GapKids. moccasins, Minnetonka. french braid, because I really need a haircut... like, two weeks ago.

Selena Gomez Looks Hawt at the NAACP Image Awards

February 28, 2010 – 8:56 pm
The 41st NAACP Image Awards were held in Los Angeles tonight, and Selena Gomez showed up in a stunning ivory dress made by Georges Hobeika. Admittedly, I've never heard of Georges, but from what I can dig up online he's a Lebanese couture designer who holds his runway shows in Paris. Tres chic, Selena! Photo © WireImage.com.

Project Runway’s Korto Momolu for Dillard’s

February 28, 2010 – 8:56 pm
I love me some Project Runway, so I was excited to hear that season 5's Korto Momolu (who ended up as fan favorite and finished in second behind Leann Marshall) has her own line of accessories at Dillard's. But...after seeing the first few pieces, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Korto had such a unique point of view on the show, so it was surprising to me to see that one of the first purses she debuted, the purple Horn-Handled Hobo Bag (pictured, near right), is a knock-off of the YSL mombasa (pictured, far right). And although it doesn't retail over a thousand bucks like the YSL version, Korto's version still isn't cheap at $159. Maybe I'm being overly critical, but I'm thinking she could have been more original. Photos © Dillards.com.

Nine West Luvs Facebook

February 28, 2010 – 8:56 pm
There's no denying that social media has become a huge part of our lives, and many tech-savvy fashion companies are hoping to cash in on the action. Take shoe mega-brand Nine West, for example. They have a new promotion linked to the Nine West Facebook page where FB friends of the brand get access to the new spring collection early - and they get 15% off and free shipping through the end of February. But not only that: Nine West's creative director Fred Allard also created six special shoes that are available exclusively through Facebook. Kind of cool, right? Photo © NineWest.com.

Spanx for Men?!?

February 28, 2010 – 8:56 pm
Pretty much every female celeb has slipped into a pair of Spanx at one time or another before hitting a red carpet, but when I visited the brand's new product preview during Fashion Week, I was shocked to find out that they're also making a line for dudes! Spanx for Men is a collection of cotton compression undershirts that is designed to firm a guy's chest and flatten his stomach, and the tops range from $55-58. I'm not so sure that I know any guys that will want to wear these - but what do you think?
