It’s absolutely true, dogs double as kids. And when not espousing design advice or cluing you in to the best sales, I moonlight as an obsessed mom.
My kids particularly love dress-up (see above, that’s their Christmas photo from last year) and Halloween is a big deal. The good costumes sell out fast so, quick, get [...]

Philadelphia, I’ll be doing my part to keep your pockets full and your wardrobes bursting at the seams.  I want to be wowed by this city’s fashion savvy so I’m doing my part. I’ll keep you updated on the sales that get us ready for colder months and you catch a few episodes of Tim [...]

If you’ve been to the Schuylkill river trail recently you’ve seen plenty of overachievers training for the Philadelphia Marathon.

An ad in Nylon reminded me that Swatch is still out there, banging out pop designs for your wrists.  It’s been a while for me; back to the days when it was cool to wear 3 or more of their color-blocked styles at a time, each with its own Swatchguard.

For a mere $270, this gold plated cast of bananas could be yours!  Sure, it’s not the most practical bowl; it won’t hold your loose change or keys.  But I’m certain it’s a great cradle for bananas.
Harry Allen makes this gem and other cast objects (you’ve seen his pig piggy bank, I’m sure) but doesn’t [...]

Stella McCartney’s line for LeSportsac is both fun and sophisticated.  Crazy prints (like the one above) are balanced by neutral color blocking in her Spring/Summer 2008 collection.
When they premiered earlier this year, the bags weren’t in every girl’s budget.  But now all of Stella’s Spring/Summer items are 75% off sale. And though it’s great that [...]
