Posted on 30. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
We’re only midway through Summer, it’s 100 degrees outside, and I’m already tired of my drab hot weather wardrobe. But in about a week, I will be comforted with the arrival of every fashion magazine’s most important September issue. I will get a taste of Fall coats, boots, sweaters, and best of all – lots [...]

Look-alike tees: Leanne Marshall & Anthropologie
Posted on 09. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
While perusing Project Runway winner Leanne Marshall’s Bluefly clothing line yesterday, there was a particular top I thought I had seen somewhere else before. I immediately picked up my copy of the Anthropologie catalog and found her little twin. Which one do you like better? I vote for Ms. Leanimal’s. Though I must admit I [...]

Young fashionistas that make us oldies jealous
Posted on 06. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
If you were like me in junior high and high school, you probably spent a lot of time trying to figure out your identity through your wardrobe. At the same time you played it safe so you didn’t cross the social suicide border. If I could do it all over again, I would be looking [...]

Red, white and blue inspiration
Posted on 29. Jun, 2009 by sheila.
In honor of Independence Day, here are some of my favorite color inspirations that would be perfect for an outdoor bbq party. You don’t have to sweat and get hat hair from wearing an Uncle Sam hat or wear an oversized tee shirt bedazzled with the American flag. Gotta look good for America right? Clockwise: [...]

Cool Anthropologie card
Posted on 03. Jun, 2009 by sheila.
I signed up for Anthropologie’s “Anthro” card and while I’m still not sure how it works exactly, it was free and came in this cool little bag! Great packaging is always a nice surprise when all I’m used to getting are tri-fold brochures with the card slapped on with rubber cement. It might seem much [...]

Posted on 27. May, 2009 by sheila.
Did you know peonies change color as they get older? The bright pink one on the right just bloomed today, the top one yesterday, and the pale pink on the left has been open for a couple of days now. I bought them when they were buds and I thought they would never open up [...]

Makin' a Birkin
Posted on 26. May, 2009 by sheila.
While I’m aware of the fact that $10,000 for a purse is insane especially in relation to my bank account, I wouldn’t even hesitate for a millisecond if an Hermes Birkin bag was handed over to me for free. We can all go on about conspicuous consumption and how they should be ashamed when the [...]

Why I love Target
Posted on 22. May, 2009 by sheila.
I was leisurely roaming around Target this morning with an urge to shop. This could have been potentially dangerous because it is just like going food shopping when you’re starving. I was just about to leave after a whole internal struggle with myself on buying things I don’t really need when I passed by this [...]

Cute overload
Posted on 12. May, 2009 by sheila.
Because of my budget created by those little buggers called Rent, Loans, and Bills and that new pest Recession, I have been forced to be very mindful of what I purchase. I prefer to make it less of a downer by thinking that I should do as the French do! They always look so effortlessly [...]
