Rebel Rebel I love your dress…
Well, Rebel Dance I love your bandage high waisted pencil skirt. David Bowie almost got it right. A few months ago, I posted about the lovely Franco-American Rebel Dance and their made to order bubble minis and feather belts. This autumn they’re moving street wear to the next level… square shoulder bomber jackets and [...]
Face or Figure
Past a certain age, to paraphrase iconic French actress Catherine Deneuve, it’s either your face or your figure.
In the late 70s, a woman of a certain age was probably between 35 and 40. The phrase was popularized by psychotherapist Lillian B. Rubin in “Women of a Certain Age: The Midlife Search for Self. Today’s [...]
The Opulent Ostertag
One of the rising stars of German fashion, Marcel Ostertag, still in his 20’s is certainly a force to be reckoned with. Producing entire 50 piece collections on his own, hard labor, doesn’t come without benefits, after all he is the winner of the Karstadt New Generation Award during Berlin Fashion Week, this is only [...]
Clash of The Tartans
Can you even call plaid a trend? I don’t really think so… some years it’s more favorable than others, but let’s be honest here, we all have a little tartan in our wardrobe.

Slim Down the Sassy Way
For the past few years I’ve tried to maintain a carefree, non-judgmental attitude towards food and weight. Unfortunately, I’ve gotten lax about exercise and watching what I eat. The result? I’m 20 pounds heavier that I was 2 years ago and none of my pants fit.
To me, not fitting into clothes that were loose on [...]
I Love Walgreens
I miss seeing Jennine in the real world. Sure, she’s but a click or call (with Skype) away, but still… Without Jennine, my trips to Walgreens just aren’t the same. Our love of Walgreens was so intense that sometimes we’d net 15+ visits a week between us. As Jennine says, fondling beauty products alone [...]
Smeilinener
There is nothing wrong with having a healthy aversion to black. In fact, I rather admire it. In a sea of sensible grey and Mischa Woeste of Smeilinener has chosen to stick to a playful sense of color and bold prints of stars, stripes and polka dots. It rather reminds me of the girl who [...]
