Exerpts from my wishlist

So target.com has this really great feature called a wishlist. It lets you add things to it and you can view your favorite items and even send your wishlist to friends and family as a guide for gift shopping (for birthdays, Christmas, etc.). It’s sort of like a wedding registry only you’re not getting married [...]

Summer fun

Okay, so it’s not quite summer yet. It certainly feels like it at 78 degrees yesterday (in April! In the Upper Midwest! A sign of global warming?). Now that summer has arrived, I feel the need to break out the cute skirts and capris and summery-casual shoes. Only one problem: I have no cute tops.
It’s [...]

Through snow, through sleet…

Okay, so maybe that title hearkens to the postman’s oath, but the big winter storm looming may postpone my trip to the Twin Cities for a shopping spree! I might chance it anyway. *grin*
We’re going to the Mall of America (cliched, I know, but there are some fab stores there) and I can’t wait to [...]

Bargain-tastic

So, part of why I love shopping so much is the thrill of the hunt… for the perfect bargain! And when I found myself at Target today, just to buy hair care stuff, I found myself irresistibly drawn toward the clearance clothes racks. And then stopped by the shoes. And ended up with a black [...]

To Dry Clean or Not To Dry Clean?

So, I find that I have a penchant for wool and linen things, most of which say either “hand wash only” or “dry clean only.” Since I don’t like to hand wash things and refuse to pay money (and destroy the environment) by dry cleaning things, I often just don’t wear them as often and [...]

Fashiontainment

I am officially addicted to Project Runway. It’s a little sick. We don’t have Bravo, so a friend of mine downloads them from the website and we tend to watch several at a time. The best part? No commercials!
I also saw The Devil Wears Prada this past weekend. It was pretty awesome. Meryl Streep as Meredith was [...]

Too Many Shoes?

I went on a trip to the twin cities (aka Minneapolis-St. Paul) this weekend with a club from school and, of course, we went to the mall. I was searching for a nice, flirty black skirt for social dance, and some dance shoes if possible. I found both: a black A-line skirt from H&M with [...]

Ahh… I feel so… cleansed.

Well m’dears. I have officially and ruthlessly cleaned out my closet. Clothes that I never wear, even though I might wear them someday (maybe), are going to the thrift store. As are most things that don’t fit, are worn out (you can only repair a pair of jeans so many times, people), or very out [...]

What to wear to…?

Do you have a dilemma? Don’t know what to wear to an event, party, date, etc.? Well, I’m here to help. Below are some guidelines for what to wear.
1) A wedding.
First, is it formal, casual, or semi-formal? Look at the invitation. If it’s black tie, it will usually say, “black tie.” If it’s on the [...]
