Having recently moved from Manhattan apartment life to a house, I can attest that furnishing a home is expensive. It is even more costly if you have champagne taste (oh, HI!). Don’t get me wrong, just as in your wardrobe, some things are worth a splurge. BUT it’s also possible to save serious cash without sacrificing style by shopping at these online retailers. In my opinion, these are the five best budget decor stores. …

So now that we’ve updated our transitional wardrobes and beauty bags thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it’s time to give our home base some love. I mean really, who doesn’t need the best smelling candles on planet earth and chicer towels?…
Today is national nude day, so there is no better time to acknowledge that the fashion industry has a nude problem. I remember shopping for nude pumps when they were the “it shoe” a few years back and laughing out loud by myself in the Saks Fifth Avenue Shoe Salon aka shoe perv paradise. Not one pair of shoes was anywhere close to the color of my skin, and I looked like an idiot. Not everyone is beige. Designers and…
Today the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live and open to all, no Nordstrom card required. Some of this stuff is sooo good. The best things to buy are key pieces that will help transition your wardrobe into fall. There is a lot to weed through so this took me a few days, but I rounded up the best of the best for your convenience. You’re welcome. The Moana soundtrack is stuck in my head again. Anyway, shop my picks for…
In case you’ve been living under a rock or have no internet access (how are you even reading this right now) you may be unaware that Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale starts 7/21, but they’re currently allowing early access to Nordstrom cardholders. What’s not getting enough attention is the bevy of amazing beauty deals they’re offering this time around. I’ve saved you all some time and rounded up the only deals you need to see. If you don’t have a Nordstrom card,…
This post actually started out as something else entirely, but I realized that there was actually a fresh crop of amazing sales this weekend, not just – ahem – one. For the first time in a long time, I actually included a live-in-person sale because it’s just that good and it doesn’t even require in-store shopping (though perhaps that’s preferable given this absurd heat wave we’re experiencing over here on the East Coast). Without further ado, here are the 5…
Today is the last day to get an extra 25% off designer sale and select previously marked down items at Shopbop with code SOLUXE. There are some amazing summer pieces, as well as some perfect transitional pieces for fall that you kind of need to see. Peep my picks for the 10 best Shopbop sale buys after the jump!…
In case you missed it, Wednesday was National Bikini Day so I shared my favorites from this season. If you’re wondering what to wear over yours, it’s a wear-all-day coverup that can take you from breakfast, to poolside, to the beach, to cocktails, and dinner. There is truly nothing better than the day I just described, in that perfect dress that does it all while keeping you cool, comfy and chic as F. Here are my top 5 best wear…
Today is National Bikini Day! Ah, the bikini: symbol of so many things for us. As I started this post, I thought back on a conversation I had at a local Sephora. The woman who was helping me struck up a conversation with me about pregnancy (as one often does with a pregnant person) which ultimately digressed into a conversation about body image. She said, “I love my son so much, but don’t you hate how you can’t ever wear…
Happy Fourth of July week! This holiday is extra special for us because my first son, Bear, was born on July 4, 2015. I actually listened to the East River fireworks while I pushed and he entered the world. He really doesn’t want us to slack like we did last year because of our trip to Greece, so he has been telling us “I turn TWO ON TUESDAY.” I seriously cannot believe he is going to be two years old.…
