I actually like to pay full price for things, because then I know everyone making money on the item got paid what they’d planned to get paid. (Which was, ideally, a fair wage at every step of the way.) In theory, when stores make all the profit they want off an item, they’ll be less [...]

Merry Christmas to me. Free NYLON subscription, thanks to Urban Outfitters and NYLON!!! Wow, seriously, I should send them a thank-you note. While supplies last, so CLICK! I wish a free ONLINE subscription were available. Then I wouldn’t have all that glossy paper to recycle every month. Though it’s so NICE to hold in my [...]

Oh, beautiful Chicago — the architecture, the neighborhoods, the parks, the youthfulness, the mob lore… and Pivot. My first visit to Chicago’s only eco boutique lived up to every one of my (high) expectations. The shop is sleek, quirky and just the right size — small enough to feel intimate, but large enough that its [...]
I saw U2 in 2002 on their Elevation tour, and I must say that one of my biggest take-aways of the night was that Bono is a DORK. (Affectionately!) He gives himself emotionally to his music and his crowds, and while Thom Yorke and Chris Martin somehow do this really attractively… Bono doesn’t. But as [...]
What. A. Find. According to Sprig.com, Corso Como shoes are ethically and safely made by hand in Brazil of vegetable dyed leathers, with a portion of each sale going to women’s and children’s charities. These qualities alone are enough to make us love this brand, but on top of that, the line offers literally hundreds [...]
The countdown is on — only four days left to grab your Rogan for Target separates. Since I’ve been wearing mine for a few weeks now, I wanted to write a follow-up post not only to let you know about clearance prices across the line, but also about the materials themselves. (And, of course, the [...]

The listing for this ring set reads, “Hey Mom and Dad, remember that time I got married really young? Sorry about that. I can’t pay you back for the wedding, but I’ll split whatever I get for these with you. Deal?” The website is ExBoyfriendJewelry.com, a pretty self-explanatory name — users sell unwanted gifts from [...]
I am disappointed and disheartened to let you know that Nau clothing company is closing up shop. With all its heart, smarts, R&D and TLC, we are losing a company with perhaps the most potential to improve the way the garment industry works. As part of its “winding down business operations,” everything at Nau is [...]
Offered to American Apparel newsletter subscribers only (which I’m sharing with you because I like you), 15% off selected denim and cords until April 2! Enter promo code denimdays08 at checkout. I’ll report back soon on what I’ve picked out myself…
Moment of truth here: I cannot afford thousand-dollar items of clothing. I’d go so far as to say that most fashion blog writers can’t either — but it is quite fun to pretend we can. Which we sometimes do.With facades aside, I won’t be affording any of these beautiful Stella McCarney pieces on sale at [...]
