Calm Before the Storm

National Eating Disorder Awareness Week

February 22-28 is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. It's a good week... exactly 12 years ago a college friend took me to get screened for an eating disorder. I've been a little overweight and a lot underweight, and trust me, being a few pounds heavier is a hell of a lot better than worrying about food all of the time! Love your body... it's the only one you've got!

Happy Little Things

It's amazing how happy new pillows and some face wash can make me.

Erickson Beamon Scores For Target

Ok, so I have to be honest... I have no idea who Erickson Beamon is. But I do know that this jewelry duo did a cheaper line for Target that is, well, it's pretty damn good! I've always favored accessories over actual articles of clothing. And the bigger the better. Their line is fun, bright, bold and even a little cheeky (see lobster necklace).

Behold, some of my favorites...


clutter ball ring
($29.99)


seed bead lobster necklace
($39.99)


jeweled flower cuff
($39.99)


jeweled chain bracelet
($29.99)

and it's all in Target stores now through the end of June.

Fashion Week

Lots of prints from DVF, especially animal
Marc looks a little like McQueen
Carolina Herrera has a metallic romance
And everyone loved fur!

It will be a dark and moody fall, for sure.

You Have a Panda Head

Have your read Panda Head magazine yet? It's the brainchild of style maven Morgan (and her crew of super creative minds) and is awesome in that "damn I wish I was that creative and knew how to put it all together into one pretty little package" type of way. The latest edition is online now and you'd be a fool not to check it out. Click here to see what I am talking about.

kisses for tuesday,

Band of Outsiders

Favorite new men's designer: Band of Outsiders
How come: preppy chic, with a nerdy edge
See for yourself...

Late Night Dancing

What to Do This Weekend

So it looks like this weekend is all about Valentine’s Day… if you are into that sort of thing. If not, then you should just dance around your room naked while listening to your favorite band and drinking wine straight out of the bottle. Or you can go hug your friends and tell them how awesome they are.

There are these style happenings too:

Lettie Gooch is moving and having a huge sale to clear our merchandise. Fall and winter items are up to 90% off, a $50 and under rack, jewelry 30% off, and more. Sale lasts all weekend, so check it out.

Rue 14 is also cleaning house with an additional 20% off all sale items.

Crystal City Couture starts today and runs through the 28th. Located in the new retail space at 2450 Crystal Drive (at the corner of 23rd and Crystal Drive), this free event will feature sample sales, runway and trunk show from local designers, boutiques and area salons.

30 Means Amazing

Let's just say that my 30th birthday was amazing. The best one yet! My cheeks hurt from smiling and for an entire week it was nothing but friends, celebrations and awesomeness. My old roommate in Italy came to stay with me for a few days and 25 of us packed up and headed off to Atlantic City for the night. There was a dance-off, a giant cake, gambling, and an outfit I am pretty sure I am going to regret in a few years.
